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

I'm pretty sure this is just a small first wave of folks. Roy has had a lot on his plate of late and having been fortunate to try the 18 out of barrel a few times, he's smart to release slowly as I'm sure the demand is greater than the supply.

Starting to see a few offers on this but very few and even less discussion. Anyone tried it?

Pretty disappointed that there are so few contributors to this thread. Don't know if there are some lurkers who don't care or others that don't see a monetary payout for posting. When I jumped in many years ago I seemed to see an opening that many wine geeks were wanting to hear about the daily lif...

If you don't absolutely need it, don't ship it. The network is better than it was in March/April, but still nowhere near what it 'used to be'.

There are so many great Zins but I’d just send my $1k to Mike Officer and happily take everything I received in return

Fieldwork Brewing Co. DDH Pulp IPA, 6.9% ABV. hopped entirely with Citra hops. The good old regular Pulp could very well be my favorite single hopped IPA. I have heard stories of this in DDH form but it has always eluded me. Thanks to Will Segui who kindly gave me the heads up that this was going t...

a few drops here in northeast Napa. didn't even get the entire patio wet.

I have no idea but I’d guess it is a pretty big operation with their own bottling line. 14 people is a lot for any winery but right now under SIP, that’s an army

Hey Will, any new vineyards for the Cabernet portfolio?

There are some new things on the way but nothing in 2018. Just the welcomed return of a few favorites we weren't able to bottle from 2017.

Is this the cab release? Is this more allocated than the pinot and chardonnay releases? Just joined the list in the last year and picked up both the pinot and chardonnay but didn’t get any email today. Given the unusual circumstances around COVID & SIP, there were a few things earmarked for distrib...

For CA residents that like hoppy & hazy, this is (for me) as good as it gets - Fieldwork DDH Pulp. Move quick as I suspect these will be gone by the AM.

Has anyone tried the tri-tip? Can a Flannery tri-tip possibly be any better/different than a Prime from elsewhere?

I just labeled my 12 cases this weekend and they are going to storage for at least 6 months before tasting again. My guess it's a 'Pinot thing' and just at a dumb phase now. Drank a bottle from my last case of '16 last night and it rocked. 11 bottles left [oops.gif] we bottle Pinot in August and ev...

Will, just curious, what is the 10% you are "missing" with Cookshack? I was actually quoting someone from another board, so I can't take full credit/blame. I've never been able to get pro-level bark on my briskets, nor do I get to sit outside and drink beer for 14 hours with a 'got to watch the tem...

I have a BGE but no time. I grabbed a Cookshack off CL a few years ago and it has been great. 90% of the result for 10% of the effort.

2017 Rosella's. Didn't give much night one, but was spot on last night.

Rare wine co also has a 1971 Mascarello Barolo that fits the price range...

Was fortunate to have a bottle of this sourced through Manny @ Rare Wine last year, might have been the best bottle I had last year.

For those in CA - Kern River has canned Citra and is shipping.

Question I had during the event, but we never got back around to. At the 12:30 mark of the video TRB says that its the last year for the Anderson Valley bottling. Anybody know what is happening there? Does that mean Bearwallow goes away too? Bearwallow is not going anywhere, no worries there. The A...

Btw I just happened upon the serious brandy fb group which seems pretty legit.

I'm in that group as well. Do not let that detract from its legitimacy - it is 100%. Some pretty cool stuff/information rolls through there.

BC pick Weller Barrel Proof - drinks easily for 114 pf.

I haven't had the wines, but they are wonderful folks and Ryan is the winemaker at Sinegal, so he is more than qualified. For $35 in a great vintage like 16, I think you are safe to go for it.

The problem is that elusive 2005 RM Cabernet.

If you find one please let me know, I’d love to try it (it would be a Rudy K. special). Perhaps you mean the 05 Summa Old Vine. That is pretty great, I’ve had the pleasure of trying it. Not sure it is better than 07 SOV, but sure is rarer.

never know with these 5pm ones.

there is a 100% chance at least one of my kids will make an appearance

Pick the day/time (any day but Wednesday), I'll be there. I'll see what I can do about getting Thomas to join as well.

This has been a winner at my house - easy, delicious and freezes easily.

High Museum in Atlanta (scheduled for next week) was just cancelled.

Do they still make it? I haven't seen one of those in the wild in 5-6 years

2 btls + 1 mag - 2017 Clos Des Papes

I just had someone ask me about stems - I sent them straight to Chris/Grassl.

Bartending at a local restaurant. Proprietor is working the floor handling food & wine service. Group falls for a bottle of viognier on the list. Order a second bottle. Order a third bottle.

There is something up with the log-in. I’m working with the e-comm folks as we speak. I hope to back online shortly, thank you for your patience. —will

On deck... 2016 William and Mary proprietary blend.

Pull that cork as soon as you can!

Great call on Young Hagen

Looking forward to what I hope to be a great game. More fun when the local team wins, but would be happy for Andy Reid to cash one in.

Stopped at Fieldwork and filled up, so it will be beer and a Carlisle Grenache I cracked last night.

Sending out the reminder now (literally). Everyone that received a Platt allocation will have until Friday to claim it. I'll be filling wishlist requests early next week. Will, is there any way to confirm I wishlisted the Platt? Pretty sure I did upon checkout but don't see it listed anywhere on my...

Thanks for the order Will!

Thanks for the offer! Can never have enough great wine in the house.

not sure why I don't already have one, but problem rectified. Order in!

These wines are a steal at full price, this is a felony

2028 Rivers Marie Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir - As advertised, give this a few hours of air then plow through it. Dark garnet, pine needles this year are from Fir trees as this has the nose of a Christmas tree pushing through the fruit. Really tasty from start to finish.

Did I work on that one?

This is fantastic.

Fieldwork Brewing Co. Pulp IPA. 100% Citra hopped. My favorite sub 7% IPA of the year. Incredibly built, soft, nuanced and complex. The citrus nose and flavor profile is mind boggling considering there is zero fruit additions. The Double Dry Hopped Pulp is the best beer I've had in a long long time...
