Wine Berserkers - international wine social media, online community, and discussion

I thought about this when I read Kevin Shin's lovely post on a bunch of great wines, on the host's patio, with safety measures. I don't want to cry in my beer, but my consumption pattern has changed drastically since the plague, not for the better. Sally and I live alone. A year ago she had health ...

Ridgetop doesn't get the love... it's great. I loved the 09 and the '10 might be better. https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/posting.php?mode=quote&f=1&p=3028820# I'm sitting on a 2010 Double Mag of Ridgetop, just waiting for the right time. dh That is a big bottle of wine! Somebody must love you ...

Mike.

My Facebook page is showing pleasant reminders of our good time with you and your family in 2016.

I’ve had 2 ‘07 Schraders and 1 ‘08 Maybach. Maybach is much better.

MACDONALD is in a class by itself. I recently opened a 2014, and it was rocking.

If I’m rating:

1. MACDONALD
2. Maybach (close 2nd).
3. Schrader

A little over 40 years ago, an employee at Hallmark was packing 11 greeting cards into a 12 pack. Most stores would open the pack and put out the cards and wouldn't realize a card was missing. Eventually they caught the guy for stealing after multiple complaints.

I finally had a chance to drink this Napa gem > 2014 MACDONALD Cabernet Sauvignon on Father's Day.

It's wine.com

Prices on wine .com are like Zachy's; and like Zachy's, they will not be oversold.

Sorry. It's wine.com

Today is the last day to double dip with the Amex offer. $30 off on a $100 order.

A friend of mine is moving wine from Alaska to Denver. Any info on a trucking company that moves that distance? It's over 3000 miles.

This thread is sounding more and more like the error fares / mistake fares threads on Flyertalk.

Sojourn, with the Gaps Crown assorted vintages as the leader.

I ordered the Katz's dinner for 4 and it arrived Thursday. So far: The half sour pickles were very good (there was a choice of sour or half sour), the pastrami was great, the cinnamon babka was terrible (there was a choice of cinnamon or chocolate), the rye bread was good, the mustard was good. Sti...

I drank this today at the family BBQ > 2016 Walter Scott Chardonnay La Combe Verte Freaking awesome for $30. Nice color. Surprisingly nice nose. Pleasant taste of candied butterscotch.

That steak looks delicious. My leftover Flannery hanger steak tasted good cold as leftovers the next night for dinner. Same goes for my '14 MACDONALD.

2010 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Russian River Valley - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (6/21/2020) An excellent wine that proves that with some age a patience, California pinot noir can be as good (or better) that comparably priced Burgundy. NOTE that this is the appellation wine,...

I'm opening a 2014 MACDONALD Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville, Napa. It's been sitting in the decanter for 3 hours, with one more hour to go. Oh, and my Flannery hanger steak has defrosted. Hope you have the same experience with this wine that I did - it’s fantastic! I trying to figure out if the F...

Oh, and my Flannery hanger steak has defrosted.

My first roll eyes wine was a mid 1990's Cain Five Meritage. This wine was the building block in my wine education.

After I watched a video where Kapcsandy said retarded, I blew them off.

FYI.

I didn’t receive the e mail, even though I’m registered. I’m thinking that if you’re not registered, you may be able to purchase today.

I met Mark Carter when we stayed at Carter House in 2001. He’s a nice guy. I’m looking forward to drinking these wines.

When we stayed at the Carter House in Northern California, yes, that Carter, they were known for their outstanding food and wine pairing dinner. I normally don't do wine pairings, but a Quivira was served as one of the pairings. I enjoyed it so that Mark sold me a bottle. Sometimes, when buying off ...

With all the recent Walter Scott hype + this thread, I picked up a 2018 Walter Scott Chardonnay La Combe Verte at Grapes the Wine Company in White Plains. Let's see what all the fuss is about.

Everyone that donated was extremely generous. I would have been happy with anything, the real winner was NAACP LDF, anything else should be viewed as a bonus. Kudos to everyone who donated wine or dollars. You're all winners. Charlie, you should contact the NAACP direct. I'd imagine they don't get ...

Sojourn Cabernet Sauvignon Home Ranch fills the low $60 category. Good QPR for the price.

Mark.

I had PB&J on whole grain bread twice, at the beginning of Covid-19. It was a nice change of pace from various egg concoctions and supermarket deli meat sandwiches. Try it with name brand chunky peanut butter. The crunch makes the difference.

Of course you’re right and no donor should feel bad for stepping up for the cause, even the last wine picked. I don’t think any of us really did it for the wine, it’s like a 1% chance here. At this point it’s just a moment of fun in what’s been a sh/!!¥ week. I would think that even the last wine s...

Charlie. I just PayPal'd you.

Great idea. You can apply the money to the fund of your choice.

Mike Smith posted scores on the Myriad Wine Instagram account. He didn't mention which wine got what score.

9 Jean Edwards Sauvignon Blanc Dalla Gasperina as an everyday drinker for my wife,

3 William and Mary Prop Red Shifflett Ranch. 2017.

3 EMH Black Cat Cabernet. 2014.

Duplicate.

Thanks for the 2011 EMH note. My current vertical is 2011 -2015. If you like, even though you’re cellar cleaning, I can replace your wine next year.

When I asked MTP on the Zoom why he only made this in 2011, he said that he wasn’t happy with the product that was made. He said that he has some sitting in barrel; and if it ever tasted right, he’d bottle it. Thanks for the note. I’ll hold on to mine for a Berserker event in the NY area.

25% fat in a burger blend is someone I hadn’t thought about before and never see in stores. It’s the burger blend we need #BBBB I think the max we could get on the burger builder was 28%, which was always my target. After watching the video last night, I know what I'm bringing to the next Jay Hack ...

Native Texan, live in Austin now. Texas is relatively open — 50% capacity at restaurants, though some are still being more cautious. Done lots of road trips. Where are you coming from?

Sojourn Home Ranch drinks well above it’s cost.

Edited to add EMH Black Cat.

I just saw that on their Instagram feed.

I drank an ‘08 Rhys Syrah Horseshoe with my 12 oz ribeye. The steak looked great, and tasted better. Finally, after 9 weeks, a seriously decent steak.

Rob,

I live just over the state line near the southwest corner. You can ship to me in NY and then come pick up your wine.

Order arrives Wednesday. Now I have to see which California Cabernet Sauvignon to drink?

After listening to Morgan from Bedrock on the Zoom last night, I'd have to agree. He said his restaurant business is down, but his Berserker business from the recent offering was fantastic.

Now I find on the Ravenswood website that it is intended to be Yiddish - Kayn Nebbishy Vayn. I still have that one, along with several buttons and bumper stickers in other languages. This was a really great event. Major thanks to Joel and Morgan for making it a nice mix of storytelling and wine gee...

I remember United Airlines served this in business class about 20 years ago. I was first starting my wine journey then. I really enjoyed the wine.

I drank a half glass of the 2013 The Bedrock Heritage Sonoma Red Wine last night. I'll drink more tonight.
