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

The guys at West of Temperance make great wines, but they just went above and beyond helping me with what I thought was a minor shipping issue. Wow, is all I can say. Show them some love and give their wines a try.

I get it free with airline miles so I have been reading it for years. I like the overviews of wine regions. We've used the articles as starting points to research vacations to CDP, Douro and a few others.
I don't really pay too much attention to the wine ratings.

All in. Purposely opted out of Carlisle, Turley and Limerick this year for it. B The first rule after getting on the Carlisle list is stay on the Carlisle list. is there a difference in Weil Vineyard Syrah and Weil-A-Way vineyard? I know the exposition wines are different but CT has entries for bot...

I used to do things like this all the time and the wine that wins usually is something I would never buy myself. Don’t bring anything too complex. People won’t get it. Just because you dig it, doesn’t mean everyone else will. Sweeter reds suck, but usually stand out as more “drinkable”. I know, good...

Don’t buy the Kirkland 2016 Old Vine Zin. Syrupy mess. Yuck.
Do buy the 2013 Adega du Vila Real Douro Reserve. $6.99, yep $6.99 great QPR.

The Mercantile http://mercantiledenver.com
Sister restaurant to Fruition mentioned above.
Reserve the chef’s table overlooking the kitchen. They have a menu completely separate from the regular menu. You can get it with or without wine parings. One of the best meals I‘ve had in Denver.

West of Temperance

Order in. These guys are great.

The posts were at nearly the same time, and identical in nature.

f*ck you too

The Faiit Main threads were posted by mistake. I honestly don’t understand why people get so worked up over Alan, but if he wounds you so much just put him on ignore. Surely by this point you know how that feature works, don’t you. But nothing he has done justifies ganging up to pick on him and dam...

Enough is enough. This has gone well past the good natured fun stage and is just pathetic bullying. How? You really don’t understand why creating multiple threads and numerous posts on existing duplicate threads created by mistake all mocking one person represents bullying? What else would you call...

Is this about the Fait Main threads? Is someone pushing those wines?

A dumb*ss.

2016 Esola ... usually wait another 2-3 years, but was 50% off at Binny’s (Chicago suburbs). Really getting the cherries and grapefruit notes. Went really well with homemade jambalaya. I like this wine. It doesn’t get a lot of love. It’s a different take on Zin, but if you embrace it for its expres...

The ‘16 Kirkland Gigondas is worth grabbing a handful...if you can still can find them. My local Costco is sold out.
Thanks so much for the heads up. Gave this a try and was very pleased. Fantastic QPR.

You’re welcome.

2012 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard - after trying a few Kirschenmann, I stopped buying. Morgan just makes too many different wines. After having this tonight, I may need to change that in the future. This was great on PnP. Light and lively with traditional Zin characteristics on ...

I got one of these yesterday, what do you do decant it for a couple hours?

They come to life pretty quick. An hour or so and we get some great leather and spice tones.

2014 Beckstoffer Grenache Melee $24. Good stuff.

Preview day is huge.
Use CT
Take a flyer or two.
Never bought a bad BD wine.

This is #winning

I gather, glad i can at least amuse everyone

You’re good at it. Keep it up.

Great! Wish I could have been there.

Or how about this one?

Cool, how do you start 3 threads at one time?

Learned a lot about wine and also how to have thick skin when posting online.
With that said, I only have one person blocked, that says something about the rest of you.
All polls must include Brett Farve.
There is a rumor that we have a search function.

Order in!

Spam a lam a ding dong here too.

Kirkland Anejo $19.99. I know, I know, but its actually really good.

The next Cornas will be pot infused drinks. The next Australia will be corporate crap wine once everyone discovers it’s corporate crap wine.

Do NOT buy the ‘16 Kirkland Bordeaux Superieur. Sour and bitter. Worst wine I’ve had in awhile.

90 - 95% of my Cellartracker wines are over 90, but then today I took a flyer on a Four Vines Truant. Should of looked it up before buying. It comes in at an 80. New all time low. champagne.gif That's a wine that is as drinkable now as it is likely to be so you could have bought one to try it first...

Do you remember when.... ... the Berserker Day website didn't crash from all the people?! ... you could actually win a Berserker Day auction?! ... Todd was just a guy like the rest of us?! Great job, Todd! champagne.gif ... it won't crash! Ed Murray has helped tremendously, and we've done a lot of ...

I guess that’s desktop version only. Makes sense. Thx!
Its that way on the mobile version too. You just need to click on "quick links"
Ok cool.. where does it show when my membership expires?

What do you call a deer with no eyes? I have no eyedeer.

There has to be a easier way to re-up your GCC status right? I can’t find it anywhere to contribute. A link anywhere? The link is right under the logo at the top of the page.

I'll probably pass too, but that is because I have found my PN pleasure substitute in a most unlikely spot: Grenache.

I think this board is the top influencer.
Seriously, I didn't see Fu on the list?

I was thinking more Tom Hill cuz he's followed every winery from the start.

Is the Summa Old Vines worth the premium over the regular Summa bottling? Last year I only got the Sonoma Coast, but will be picking up some extra this year. The single vineyards are more unique than the blends and I would encourage anyone to try them. Is the Old Vine worth being singled out? Maybe...

I think this board is the top influencer.

I found the 2016 Anderson Valley to be sweet. The '16 Summa was very good as always. The '16 Silver Eagle was very good. The '16 Occidental and Bearwallow underwhelmed me.

‘14 T n S block Hudson. Nice on day 1, really nice on day 2. Clove, anise, dark fruits.

Red - Outpost
White - Paul Lato

I nominate this.

No way. I know folks who have gone down this road and ended up with a lot of crappy wine at the end.

Paestum and Herculeum don’t require cars, easy to get to by train. Pompeii not as easy. That's assuming you're on the different train lines (Circumvesuviana/Marozzi for Herculaneum and the mainline route for Paestum). Sorrento is on the former, but not the latter. Pompeii station is on the former l...

Sounds like a vegetarian’s turd.
