And they did not retain the staff, guess the Lawrence family will be pressing their own by hands and feet!

Detert just dropped today

Infanticide if anything!!!

Nice write up Stas, even Greg T might even think so..

Did the cat get any scraps?

Sneak a taste of the 2008 Monte Bello and tell me how it is. Cheers and congrats!

Cool video

Count me in Mark.. sounds like a great event

Its a google world...gmail rules!

The standard Spring allocation is 6 + 6. You can wish for more, but I've never gotten any extra. After many years, you might get offered the magnum set. I've been on >10 years and I was just offered magnums last year. I have been getting two estate boxes for several years. Not sure what the next le...

I gave them my gmail account, funny I recall using netscape navigator

I just spoke to Amber over at SQN and it seems that if you have a hotmail email, you are not receiving any email from them. Quite bizarre.

Just an FYI for those people like myself who are on the list but never received the invite

Mike Reff

I must be second or third wave, no email yet.

So long as federal troops do not appear at your doorway, you should be fine.

Allocated Petite Syrah, Grenache, and Zinfandel. Also for the first time I am seeing some past vintages of True and Cab being offered too. Anyone have any notes on the Grenache and/or Zin?

Mike Reff

I have been on Saxum for seven years after Jay Hack hypnotized me on their wines at a Berserkerfest at Peking Duck House...

I have only bought a smattering of what they offer about 4-6 bottles a year. I am very happy with being allocated each year but hardly take my full allocation.

Mike Reff

Sold....

Mike Reff

Chiming in, I have been on the list for years, and usually can only take about three or four bottles of year due to financial constraints. Thus, for this year I would probably do the same, but thought might as well offer some to someone who would like to purchase. The prices are more than fair in my...

Mike Reff

Just allocated, hit me up if you are interested.

Calluna. They own the top of Chalk Hill and have planted to only Bordeaux varieties. David Jeffrey, winemaker, was trained in Bordeaux and has that sensibility to his wines. The Colonel’s Vineyard is the one to lay down; 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, but all the cuvées are worth trying. And their white ...

Mike Reff

PM me for details,

Thanks

Nice line up Blake

Mike Reff

I would add Ridge Monte Bello to the recommendations already made. We tried it at the Assemblage Tasting last year and it was fantastic. Regarding Vintage Port, Taylor is producing a Vintage Port in 2018, which is their 3rd consecutive year. https://www.decanter.com/wine-news/port-2018-vintage-decl...

I might also be passing, please PM me if you are interested

in what world would anyone buy these at 185 when 08 is so available.
Why would you buy this in any vintage?
why would you not?

Just not my style, I prefer different such as Larmendier Bernier. Just my two cents

I find it matches perfectly with my pink polo shirt, chinos, AR15, crazy wife and tasteless mcmansion.
I have one of the above five. I’ll leave it to you to guess

I knew you were a gun guy!

Interesting that all the Outpost sold... very cool

I boycott Del Dotto, when I heard that there real name is Del Blotto!

I have not been in the city since the pandemic. Are restaurants allowing BYOB anywhere at a table outside?

I would not mind popping some corks, who is in?

Mike Reff

Thoughts on Pavie Macquin, Cos, Montrose, and Cantemerle??

Mike - you know you could have called!

Hope you're good with all the craziness these days.

Cheers Monsieur

Excuse the naivete of this poster, but how was the vintage of 2019, weather wise?

Mike Reff

Can I get a refund for the slanderous words said to me in the rant raving post late last year?

Mike Reff

Larmendier Bernier.. Hands down amazing.

Mike Reff

So back when I had a core tasting group in Brooklyn NY, in the previous 'normal' state of affairs, a wise man said that the 2001 vintage of Rioja was stellar. Having purchased some of late, I was curious to see what other Beserkers thought about the vintage based on recent tastings that they might ...

Bully Hill NY... a label with a goat, enjoy some finger lakes plonk!

I received an offer for PC at $79.00, wow has that price come down quite a bit

Mike Reff

Purchased Monte Bello as 2008 futures when my son was born, paid less than $100.00 then, latest wine-searcher shows $225.00 what does that equate to after 11 years on release? newhere S&P 500 was at 1300 in 2008 and now it's at 2900 so if you had put that $100 in a simple S&P type fund it would be ...

It’s expensive land or fruit, so unless you’ve been there a while, it’s hard to put out a bottle of anything noteworthy aged in 100% new French oak (as most of them seem to be) for under 100 bucks a bottle.

Geography, all about that!

Mike Reff

You could always post something here, someone might be interested

Mike Reff

Best of luck, but you are not going to sell your entire collection based on the short period of time for you. And with shipping out of the question for you, how are people supposed to pick them up?

Mike Reff

Thank you all for the wishes! In mid-April it was quite heart-breaking to see ambulances lining up our street in Manhattan and see our neighbors be taken out on stretchers. It was only a matter of time COVID found us. But now glad to get through it after two tough weeks. I pray and hope my neighbor...
