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

Thanks, Bill. You hit a sweet spot - 9 years is typically a nice place for the Black Cats. It won't fall off the edge soon! Good to know as my current stash is 2011 current. Does the same advice go for the 2009 10th Anniversary Special Selection? Or does this wine have it's own set of rules? It dra...

LGA<-->YYZ tix to book right now for this date are more expensive than current fare. Any tips on finding a cheap flight?
Set an alert on google flight. No need to keep checking.

Yes, but this deprives people like me of all the fun.

Now I've seen this photo twice. Westchester Foodies rock.

The morning e mail should have had a link to the website. Just sayin.

Has anybody been to Bali before? Any recommendations on hotels, villas or tours? Or best areas to stay? Just in Bali now and can’t wait to come back so starting to find the best options. Traveling in February again next year. champagne.gif On Flyertalk, many of my friends recommended, and we stayed...

Oh no. I loved Sutton Inn, and it was around the corner from my daughter.

The ride along RT 28, as you head west from Kingston (I-87) is very pretty.

Thanks for the notes. Looking forward to seeing you again in Toronto in 2020.

I enjoy reading the posts of the gentleman from France and The Philippines. It's fun to read about high end wines and lavish meals. Howard, I think you're off base here. I think you should reread my OP and what I am objecting to. I did and I still don’t understand. Took the words right out of my mo...

Rebecca and Jay. I just wanted to thank you for hosting me and 40 of your closest wine friends on Saturday. It's nice to see my old friends (one of them turned 40) and make new ones. It's always fun putting faces to screen names. The variety of wine + food was delicious. Those cakes at the end did m...

Mark G was explaining to Mike G how much he enjoys California Cabs circa 2007 - 2009. Mike Grammer is seated.
As a matter of fact, Mark Golodetz shared some Bevan with me.

It's a good thing you mentioned your annual (ok, every so many years) cellar cleaning at Jay Hack's last night. I'm entering the date in my schedule. Janice and I are looking forward to our 2nd visit. And now,

if you'll excuse me, I have to start researching fares/award tickets.

I'm happy to pay corkage if I can bring my wine. When I'm stuck eating at a restaurant that doesn't allow corkage (or in Las Vegas, where margins are only impressive to bean counters), I punish the restaurant with a glass of water; or if they're lucky, ice tea.

Will be at Fenway watching the Yankees clobber my favorite Red Sox.

Excuse me.

19 - 3.

For as long as I know Jay, he's generous to a fault. If I recall, this is his 3rd shindig, and he never asks for a dime. He refuses contributions. The good thing for me is that there will be plenty of California cabs for me/us to drink and enjoy. Well, not everyone > Mark Golodetz. neener Even thoug...

Triva question... who was the first Berserker to enter his Sauvignon Blanc Staves of Waidhofen into Cellartracker? If you answered the resident Berserker frequent flyer, you're right.

on a Rockland Bakery Challah roll Assorted desserts brought by the guests who insist on not coming empty-handed other than their wine. Bolded above needs its own line. Their rolls are that good. I attended an offline at a local friend, and I was the only person to bring dessert. Jay, would you pref...

Thanks for the encouragement, guys, but this trip is long set up. Owner's seats at the Yankees/Red Sox game. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a day long excursion to my beloved North Shore with an old friend or 2 or 3...it is all set up. I'll make it to one of these deals sometime.... Your l...

You can get Lobsters at Stew Leonard’s for $6.99, so that just leaves the Redsox. If you had been to one of Jay’s Bacchanalian events, you would realize that the Redsox are a very poor substitute, especially the clobbered Redsox.

And on this, I agree with my friend.

Unless my friend Mark Golodetz can convince me otherwise, I'm going to bring a 2014 Bevan Cellars Ontogeny.

They say everything goes with pizza. Take a look > viewtopic.php?f=8&t=156785

Thanks for the Wight note. I expect to drink mine sooner rather than later. There was an '07 Wight note on CT yesterday. Take a look.

I would suggest that MS laid the founding stone in Wineberserkers.

I'm a fan after enjoying a couple of bottles at my annual Flyertalk wine dinner. Thanks for the note.

Correct. Save you money.

Cab or Syrah, I have 1 bottle of each. Woohoo.
Brian, Cellartracker suggests the drinking window is coming to an end on both. Thoughts on the cab?

Spaghetti and meatballs. That was every Monday (you could set your clock to the weekly menu). Tuesday - chicken Wednesday - meatloaf Thursday - liver (my father ate it, my sister and I didn't).

Robert, buy a freakin 1/2 bottle.

Whose birthday? Bring their favorite. My son and daughter. It's a joint birthday dinner. They trust whatever I'll bring. Go figure. My son is the only one (plus me) that will care. I'd like to bring a Maybach, schrader, MacDonald, or even an EMH, but why waste a full bottle of good juice for just t...

Why not bring the wine you want and order your wife a glass of white. It sounds like a solution to keep everyone happy. [winner.gif] [winner.gif] Dan, you have your marching orders. Go forth and enjoy! Crowd sourcing ideas seem to work. Diane, I'll follow your advice. Now about that '09 Maybach.

Given there are 5 people my initial thoughts are .. bring 2 bottles, a red and a white.

I thought of that of course;

but this isn't a Berserker crowd. My son and I will each have a glass +. The others will dabble.

After spending a few minutes taking a look at what I own, and after thinking happy wife happy life I'm going to bring a 2009 Domaine Saint Préfert Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve Auguste Favier. This way, everyone is happy. By the way, I still have time to change my mind if you're so inclined to post yo...

We 're having a birthday dinner at Sutton Inn tomorrow. 5 adults. My son and I prefer reds. My wife prefers white, or a lighter weight red ie pinot noir. My daughter and D-I-L won't care what I bring. The restaurant has a limited menu. My wife will order fish. My son and I will order red meat. I'm n...

I voted for Bourbon; but in reality, I'd go to my favorite wine store (Grapes in White Plains) and have a long sit down with Daniel Posner.

I'd love to sell them one of my Old Sparky's that cost $400. Yikes > $2000 on the list. I often wonder if wine prices can be negotiated.

Nice article.

I figure most who can attend live somewhat near me, and thusly know where I live, but I warmly welcome out-of-towners!
