Put down that I will bring a Saxum magnum since there are going to be 20 people, and everyone is going to want a taste of the Saxum. My plan is the 2010 Saxum Paderewski Magnum so long as I still have it and it is not a data entry error. I will check. Ugh. Not everyone wants to taste your Saxum. Ca...

The waitlist clears over the weekend. Looks like everyone has paid or has told me payment is pending. If someone can't attend, please let me know so that I can clear the waitlist. For those that didn't clear, see you on Fat Tuesday 2020. Feel free to start posting the wine you're going to bring. A ...

I'm going to send everyone a PM with my Paypal information. Remember to send as a gift to avoid fees. I would appreciate payment no later than February 14 , as I'll start clearing the waitlist on 2/15. if I don't hear from you, I'll figure that something came up and you can't join in the fun. The w...

I think I will bring a 2012 Riverain Cabernet, but I am tempted to instead bring a magnum of 2010 Saxum Paderewski. So if anyone wants to express a preference, go ahead. I may completely ignore you and bring something like the 2010 Lisini Brunello because, hey, it's Italian food. You may recall I w...

I prefer a 3oz pour on most wines. Especially if a wine hasn’t been decanted before we were seated. Is that about what everyone else prefers?

The reason I ask the waitstaff to do initial short pours is that some may not like the wine. Hence > no waste.

I'd opt for big cities. It would help if I knew where you've been, but here goes.

Tokyo
Hong Kong
Sydney
London
Paris
Prague
Vienna
San Francisco
L.A.
Chicago
NYC
Napa and other wine regions.
Assorted National Parks in the US.

River Market in Tarrytown allows BYO with a corkage fee.

The 'real' WOTN was the 1995 Tokah Aszu.

Nice to meet you, Greg, and Mike. Nice to see Clifton again. These dinners are always about the company, the wine, and the food.

See you next time.

Small group meeting tomorrow in Midtown East at 7PM @ Bobby Vans, theme is '96 or '00 Bordeaux. 4 of us thus far, and it would be great to grow it by a couple. Thus far we have: 1996 Pontet Canet 2000 Pontet Canet I can't help with a '96 or 2000. I do own a 2006 Pontet Canet. My oldest Bordeaux is ...

The first time I tasted (and enjoyed a Vincent Pinot Noir) was with Vincent at a dinner with The Count.

I'm so looking forward to drinking this wine.

Vincent, thanks for contributing this auction item!

Dan

No other bidders. Woohoo! I may get lucky and score a mag.

Just bumping this to the top on BerserkerDay.

Paypal information will be PM'd later this week.

$110.

Winner

Out of respect, I won't outbid Mike P.

$75. Hey Matt, maybe we can share at the Di Fara's offline.

The EMH Black Cat 6-pack and Special Selection 3-pack I may back fill the Special Selection 3 pack. All depends on my Sunday budget. [cheers.gif] Todays damage 2017 Jean Edwards Cellars Sauvignon Blanc Dalla Gasperina Vineyard Paetra is on my short list, as I'm looking for summer whites for my wife.

Bill. Which one of the above was the Riesling K from last years Berserkerday? Hi Dan, Last year was the 2016 K, and this is the new 2017 (2 bottles are included in BD#2). I don't have enough 2017 left for a stand-alone offer like I did last year, so this will be it until the '18 is bottled in April...

I need whites.

White chip order is in.

Bill.

I will add my voice (or words) to the chorus of fans of Sandler Wines and Ed Kurtzman. Never met the man and all interactions have been either through third party proxies or over the interwebs but he has impressed me as a kind, generous, and good person who happens to make delicious wine. Add in th...

Gunshow , and book it now. While the menu looks unusual online, in person this place is delicious. The long and the short of it... They place a menu in front of you. Then, the kitchen brings items out to your table. If you like what you see, grab it. If not, wait till the next presentation. The rou...

I just read the thread from last year. Looks like I missed out. That won't happen this year.

Went to buy 3 Amoenus, but the $18 per bottle shipping fee made that a no-go.

3 750's shipped to just north of Manhattan was $35. Wonder where they come up with $54?

THANK YOU, TODD! Allow me to agree with FM3. Daniel Posner brought me over to Berserkers from the parker boards. I still consider myself new, but my wine education started in the 1990's. I've learned so much here. I found 'following the crowd' was often a good idea. I didn't know what to buy; but w...

In 2011, Loring had a half off special. Hint hint.

Sometimes it helps to review the wine offered on Cellartracker. You're looking for previous vintage history. If the particular thread has a very positive buzz, I'd factor that in to your purchasing decision. There are several winemakers that offer good value wines. You can't just pop a $75 wine ever...

Milo's in the Cosmo has a 3 course $29 lunch. Killer deal considering the tab for dinner. I've been going there once a year on my business trips to LAS. http://milos.ca/restaurants/las-vegas/m ... -hour-menu

Anyone score the Cabs yet?

Based on previous years (on Cellartracker):

2015 - 96.9
2014 - 97.9
2013 - 97.9
2012 - 96

I think I can safely say you and anyone getting their first allocation is good to go. No CT notes on 2016 and 2017.

Jordan, There's an Offline forum on Berserkers. That's where a group of us meet for wine dinners. Some have a theme, others don't. I can recall my first offline. My cellar held under a dozen bottles then. I brought something I thought was good. It was a 1999 Anderson Conn Valley Reserve Cabernet. C...

Greetings all. My wife and I will be staying just outside of Healdsburg next month for a few days of vacation. Wondering if folks can point us to some good tasting rooms in the Plaza area. (We'll have three days of tasting available and won't be driving so don't be shy). Very close to the plaza > H...

This release features 2017 Sonoma Coast Pinot noir and Chardonnay wines from our most popular vineyards, including wines from the world-class Gap's Crown, Sangiacomo, and Walala Vineyards. Also in this release are two blockbuster Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the exceptional 2016 vintage, headlined...

Why BD10 rather than BDX? Don’t want to confuse the Francophiles?

Better to use BD10, as BDX confuses the frequent flyers on this site.

Westchester is local? That is upstate....

Sure, those bottles are part of protected allocation so they will be there. My order date is Jan 15.

I grew up in Brooklyn. We always thought of upstate as the Catskills. PM me the details when available.

I will have some to spare of the upcoming release

All $98 plus tax

2016 Paderewski

NYC only, I don't want to reship. You pay what I pay... when I pay.

Michael.

Can I get 1 of each of what's bolded? I'm local.

Don't forget Bring Stems.

Erez L. organized a Champagne dinner with 20+ Flyertalkers a few years back. I told him with all those bottles of Champagne, I would get Champagne fatigue. Too much of the same kind of juice gets, dare I say, boring. Since this was a fish dinner, I brought a Rhys Alpine Chard. #LightAtTheEndofTheTu...

I use to go to Zachy's all the time when I started out in this hobby (when I didn't know any better). Daniel Posner was just starting out at his Rye NY location back then. If I recall, it was the Parker board that tipped me off to Grapes the Wine Co. Every so often, Zachy's had a (real) sale. Posner...

I'll give you lots of extra rope since the kid stole the show.

Can you please give a sense to newbies what to expect, and who this benefits? The short answer > it benefits you. Prices are exceptional. You can find some great buys from new vineyards, and from winemakers that you're already purchasing from. Lots of Berserkers save their $$ for every January 27th...

The list has been updated. Waitlist started.

As we get closer, some may drop out; so stand by.

List has been updated. It will be nice to see some of you (all of you) again.
