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

Purchased the Central Coast 4 pack and the 2018 Future 6 pack

Wow, library wines in her first BerserkerDay?!?!?

Please come back next year! LOL

Yes, 2012 syrah is great. But I have a sweet spot in my heart for the 2011. It was Steve's first vintage, 2011 was brutal for everyone, he was very reserve about sharing the first samples with no label, and it was amazing. Here my last tastes of each. 2011 Riverain Syrah Cardiac Hill Bennett Valley ...

Also, the CellarTracker add links are brilliant! Thank you for these. You're welcome [cheers.gif] I tried doing this last year and got swamped. Then remembered at the last minute before getting swamped again. But I did get it working for Ed. Maybe next year I'll do more. Just so much going on...

So stupid...

Paetra wines are stupid crazy deals, and I think there were more requests to have Paetra back than any other for BerserkerDay 11

Oh shit! I just purchased this! I'm on my mobile and thought I was in the early purchase forum.

Bill, cancel if you need to and I'll reorder tomorrow.

Ban?

What time is launch time tomorrow?

Not assigned yet... The suspense builds...

Just purchased - paid $16.50 a bottle.

Slam dunk!

So, can we email at midnight or do we have to wait until this offer actually posts? I'm impatient....

Not until launch time.

The wineries report people asking to order early and there are spies checking everywhere if wineries are cheating...

Sounds great, and excited to try these.

Can anyone offer thoughts on agreeability or drinking window? (I have checked CT, but curious if there are any specific opinions.)
Better still, Erin, what do you recommend?
Thank you!

Does anyone know what wine they're offering for BD11?

Welcome to Bererker Day - looking forward to seeing the offer and learning more! Rachel is great, the next generation of passionate winemakers. I know here as Silk's daughter, Brian's assistant winemaker, Falltactullar supporter, and proprietor of Say When. All that luggage and she's still an amazi...

If one had limited storage space and budget, what would be the group's recommendation for the best overall glass? I drink mostly domestic wines (WA Cabs/Bdx varieites and Rhones, OR Pinots, some Cali Cab), but a decent amount of Italians as well. Some Rhone. Very little Loire. If I had to stick wit...

Budget? This year will be painful. Every year is painful. I always buy a few new producers every year but this year you could do nothing but newbies and kill it. I'll still buying from the regulars and the winemakers that post on WB, it's about supporting the cause and sharing the passion. They've b...

Dude, I just reviewed your offer. You're Fing brilliant. I'm PM Todd because that offer format needs to launch early for the "soak time". Let's see what we can do under the rules because the straight up launch times are random. Maybe a berserker business option. Let check. In the beginning: ten year...

This has wineberserker geeky-gotta have-cork dork potential written all over it. Love it

I'm watching...

Saving my money for BD11!!!
Think of how much you'd have if you bet a legitimate amount and WON!?

Says the Packer Fanboy...

Saving my money for BD11!!!

I just finished helping Judi with the offer.

I have a side bet as to how many bottles they sell. I'd also take the over and double down on the over/under.

This will be sick

Ridge is all in, the offer is all finished.

Nice!

isn't Ridge a first time participant? no "newbie intro" for Ridge?

There's a new winery called something like Ridge, maybe.

they didn't post in the newbie intro thread but the offer is in...

wow, they didn't have do this...

Kelley Fox and Scherrer will be in everybody's cellar after Monday.

Uhh...

If this thread is of interest to you and you like Briceland wines, who doesn't, and appreciate PV then you'll want to watch out for BD11 Sunday and then late Monday.

Briceland is in BD11. It's been a while since I've posted a note. 2015 Briceland Vineyards Zinfandel Dark Horse Vineyard - USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino County (6/19/2019) Such a unique wine. Flavors typical of a Zinfandel, with bramble fruit, shading more red than purple but then there’s ...

'At last' is correct! Glad I nagged Fred to join us!

For the amount of Dehlinger your household drinks he should personally deliver it.

Bam!!!

Oh, boy...

Richard Albert just created an offer for BD11.

More "Davis Cellar" stuff.

Krug is ridiculously good.

I can't say I've ever had a bad bottle.

You want to hate them but the wine is that good.

Hey, it's because I care! What works best on BD? Seems to be people being themselves. Really, that's the first piece of advice. People love the passion and sincerity. The connection to a common experience. Larry exemplifies that story. I spent 2 hours working on offers tonight. A couple of them... I...

Hey! Welcome to your first berserkerday.

Not only does Greg love pinot noir he's probably the biggest foodie I've ever met. Definitely at the top of the list of people to invite to your potluck party. Ha!

And his wife is amazing too.

BD11 alert: more newbies!!! Come check out their intros

hey, lots of newbie introduction threads for wineries participating in BD11 right here

Yes, yes you do! Man, I got to try that Vincent. 2016 Vincent Gamay Noir Bjornson Vineyard - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills (6/30/2019) Brought to a dinner loaded with Kutch, William Selyem, beaux frere and this wine was the WOTN for a number of people. Impressive showing. Dark c...

deadhorse [drinkers.gif] Todd, I’d like to see each vendor specify in their offers which shipping option they use for orders. It matters to me whether FedEx or UPS is their shipper of choice. I have to ask each winery before ordering because I have different addresses for each shipping preference. D...

Food at avion was good. Get a table on the deck looking out.

The CellarTracker scores and reviews are impressive, too. Hopefully, see some library PN show up.

First Berserkerday and you want library wine?

Well... Let's just say Kelley Fox is a true berserker.

Erin - So glad to see you and Massimo as part of the community here. For folks not familiar with the wines, these are well-made, elegant and high quality wines. The cab from the Farella vineyard reminds me of some of the Dominus wines from the mid 1990s, showing elegance and intensity in balance an...

Thanks to all for the immensely kind feedback and comments on the wines. Massimo and I both really value this kind of discussion, among collectors and enthusiasts, and we are grateful for the chance to spread the word about Di Costanzo Wines. We are working on putting together our very first Berser...

Really enjoying the newbie's intros .... so many good options already. Just a few tidbits from behind the curtain... If I had to guess BD11 will have 100+ offers. All the favorites are there. There's lots of new talent, the intros are the tip of the iceberg for newbies participating this year. Watc...

Hey the newbies threads are up. Check out a few, more to come.

viewforum.php?f=82

This was a very popular requested winery. Look forward to snapping up something.

Welcome, Will.

I've had a few of the BN winery wines. Should fall right in the wheelhouse of many here I think I met the winemaker with Boheme at bersekerfest in Lompoc a few years back. Nice guy.

Erin will be offering something for Berserkerday, should be interesting.

Don't laugh but White Claws and Truely are putting a hurt on wine and more so on beer

AG just gave the 2018 Platt Pinot Noir a trippie diggie! "...The 2018 Pinot Noir Platt Vineyard is the single greatest Pinot I have ever tasted from Rivers-Marie. Rich, deep and explosive in its beauty, the 2018 is an arresting, breathtaking wine that takes hold of all the senses and never lets up....

Okay boys and girls,

this concludes this year's Virtual Tasting Series which raised lots of money for many good causes resulting in the world being a better place than yesterday.

Cheers
