Dusty,

Will the offers appear in this thread? Of will they appear in a new "Berserker Day is now live" thread?

Different thread

Jeff - nice to see you posting!

Had a 2016 Papera Ranch zin over the weekend - didn't take detailed notes, but it was outstanding.

I think I had the O for 99 Wow! I think I have four bottles left. Trust it was still holding up. My Cuvee O does not "happen" every year, as Mother Nature controls quality, not me, I just keep things clean and move the grapes into smaller and smaller containers as they go down the fermentation path...

Would love a mixed case of the Berserker Special

Wish I would have known about the breakage policy. About a year ago I bought an 1855 and it got dropped after the first use. Have a cru and dig it.

Give Chris a shout

Looks like my austerity plan for this year's BD is under attack Remember your keyword for BerserkerDay, Dave... bourbon That will cure all austerity plans, as it did last year, thus making you the CHAMPION. See, folks? Bourbon makes champions. Paying college tuition for two daughters is highly over...

Looks like my austerity plan for this year's BD is under attack

I purchased some of his Pinot in 2002 from Dean Reiman's Wine Shack in Cannon Beach.

It was excellent but haven't seen any since then. Will have to remedy that

Are they still named E, I and O???

Edited for grammatical error!

Chris, When do you anticipate the Vigneron champagne stems will be available? Will they be engravable? I won a set of both the Liberte and Mineralite stems from the BD 10 auctions last year and they are great. We tend to use the Mineralite for bubbles and the Liberte for pretty much everything else....

You can say that again!

PM Morgan??

To NOT be BD Champ!

Who doesn’t like the smell of cedar, has zero effect on the wine.
A little bit? No one much I imagine. A sealed room built entirely by it? No thanks
Ahem.

Looks good on you, though.....

You, of course, are writing in an exception for Victor, aren't you?

Make it happen!!

I was in Pittsburgh last Thursday to watch the Steelers/Browns game and popped a bottle of the 2017 with my 31 y/o son, who lives there. He normally will have maybe a glass of wine, and sips it throughout the evening. We had some cocktail shrimp (and sauce) along with the bottle, and he loved it, dr...

Man, I got to try that Vincent.

Yes you do...... Had a 17 earlier in the week and it was quite snappy, in a good way.

If you are dining with Bob, be prepared to discuss the virtues of Baker Mayfield and the Browns on-field success this year.....

Sorry, Bob, couldn't resist!!

Andre - Bob is a Browns fan living in Pittsburgh, and I am a Steeler fan living in the CLE area

What a great gift!!!

Lighten up, everyone. Lighten up, Francis. The first person to get the quote, without googling it, gets a free bottle of wine from me. On your honor not not googling it. Sgt Hulka, to Francis , in Stripes. 100% from memory. Feel free to quiz me on the movie in person. [No need for the bottle, but i...

Nose of asphalt and burnt rubber....

Neal, what is your actual retirement date, and if you don’t mind, your age. I’m calibrating here, learning from my esteemed elders, you and Howard! And congrats. You guys are clearly more balanced and disciplined than me. 120 days from today. 63. Just think, you will finally have some free time to ...

Never heard of them. After 30+ grammatical errors that I caught without working too hard, I am s k eptical of anything they represent. Claiming 6 locations and 60 employees for an outfit I've never heard of makes me even more s k eptical, but I look foward to being corrected by others with direct e...

Should I take this as a positive sign for the upcoming Harvest? Not if you're the one they're gonna harvest. As an adult male [simian], you ought to be able to fight off a single lion by yourself, at least if you have an aluminum baseball bat in your hands [or a nice heavy length of galvanized pipe...

JP - Could be at least three years, maybe longer. I waited 6 years on the list only to be offered a wine I wasn't particularly interested in (Cailloux). A very good wine, but also the highest production and most available on the secondary market. I was hoping for Impulsivo, En Cerise, En Chamberlin...

I was in a similar situation, but knew it was Goodfellow, because it was my only pending shipment. I reached out to Marcus (quietly), and without any prompting, he recalled the shipment, and is replacing the wine. Buy with confidence, and Marcus, sorry for your troubles in the shipper jumping the gu...

Marcus - I sent you a PM

Thanks!

How is La Tavola? I’m always looking for new italian restaurants. I love Piccolo Forno. Alla Familigia is good, but way overpriced. There is a small italian place on Painters Run road in the south hills called Claudio’s. No corkage and good food. Prices are low but cash only. It has been years (lik...

Frank, Outstanding notes.....I'll have to check my inventory to see if I have any of these. I would strongly suggest grabbing some of the Boheme 2013 Old Mancini Ranch Zin. I grabbed a six-pack of this on BD, and it is perhaps the most savory wine I have had. Not as fruity as the Carlisle zin I have...

I had the 2014 Stuller PN last week, and it was really good.

I have drunk 3 bottles of the 2013 Old Mancini Ranch zin, and have raved over each one - so herbal and spicy!!

I have the 2010 Stuller PN mag earmarked for the family Thanksgiving dinner - a little over 2 months away!!

If you’re driving I would recommend a wine glass carrying case and take your good glasses. No need to sacrifice when traveling.

+1

Thanks Frank

Spices are best stored in cool, dark places. Not sure right beneath burners would qualify......

Cook at the Hyeholde, as I recall??

O M G 2012 Kirschenmann Zin is just an achievement. Nice! I need to get my hands on one of those. The 2012 Bedrock version was probably my favorite of the vintage so far - would love to see what Mike O did with the grapes that year. Crazy elegant, feminine, crescendo attack. Honestly one of the ver...

Thanks for the notes on this Frank!

I have one of these left, and I am now not afraid to pop it open.

Would this be better on it own, or paired with a nice steak?

TIA

PM our Country Squire

I have to say (first time posting on this thread) that a very delicious sounding review just landed for the 2017 Biggio Hamina Rose Pinot Noir Ella Claygate Vineyard! Sounds positively tasty: "Deep bright-hued orange. Potent red berry, blood orange, rose pastille and exotic spice qualities on the d...

Can you post a picture of both, Chris?
Can we put them in the standard home dishwasher? Thanks.

Wow. This is a crazy wine, and wildly different than any rose that I’ve ever had before (in a good way). In fact, if I tasted this blind and blindfolded so that I couldn’t see the color, I don’t know what I’d be guessing, but probably not rose. Speaking of color, this has to be one of the prettie...

Check out from about 2:45 on, but watch til the end - I think he would get a kick out of it...
