I just joined the forum and the Grand Cru Cru level simultaneously. I'm excited to experience Berserker Day and get a listing of all participants on 1/26. Brian (and others), You will not only get a preview of the offers, you can buy them as well. Some of the offers (e.g. Kelley Fox, etc.) sell out...

My first date was when I was 16, so wine was not an option. I found my ideal match when I was 24, and it hasn't really mattered what wine we have. Well Duh! Mad Dog 20/20.....You wouldn't even need to give a wine lecture. Just point to the label, and point out that it says "Wine of the Century...

Last year was my 1st BD. I had no idea what to expect and was completely overwhelmed. Glad I signed up for GCC so I can at least have a heads up and put together some type of game plan for the 27th. I also agree with what Michael said above. A few of the producers I purchased from during BD11 have ...

Curious, how much per bottle? Email doesn't say. Last year they charged $150 for the GTS, so probably at least that much this year. They are also offering the NLS which I believe costs less. Hopefully, they do not throw us any curves. Can't hit a curve ball, Blake? [wow.gif] Me either!!! [cheers.gif]

I have a 2007 Virage red and a 2015 Frogs Leap cab in the decanters to go with the espresso crusted beef tenderloin, and a Goodfellow 2018 Berserker Cuvee Chard to go with the Alaskan King Crab legs.

Please don’t post this on social media, but I am still receiving my Fass emails....Not on Envoyer....

Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin!!

Thank you for the clarification!

Brian, sorry for your loss. It's a let-down anytime a cork ruins a perfectly good wine. I hope this finds you and those you love safe & healthy this holiday season. I don't think the cork was the culprit here . . . Cheers Larry, are you questioning Joe Davis’ wine-making capabilities on this? T...

For newbies......If you get your spend going a bit, expect a call(s) from your bank concerning fraudulent purchases. I may call my bank in advance to give them a heads-up........ Dude, by now your bank should be calling you in advance on the 27th [wow.gif] They did......on the 26th!! [snort.gif]

Mustard Seed is a NE Ohio organic specialty grocer. It is worth the price of admission just for the Chilled Blueberry Soup recipe.

Cross-posting from the Carlisle thread . . . 2014 Carlisle Zinfandel Dupratt Vineyard - Starting to try some of Mike's 14's . . . I've been drinking Carlisle zinfandels for almost 2 decades and probably drink more of these than any other wine. So when I say "WOW" it's really a standout fo...

I made Martin’s roasted beets dish for Christmas a couple of years ago, along with beef tenderloin. The Virage 2007 red worked really well with it. It has predominantly Cab Franc along with merlot. The beet dish was delicious https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=146892&p=...

Yes they are franchises

!994 Torii Mor Reserve Pinot Noir Baseball decided to strike before Gwynn could hit .400, Knoblauch could break the doubles record, the Braves could finish 2nd in the East and Larkin could lead the Reds to their 2nd World Series Championship in 5 years. Don't forget Frank Thomas had a shot at the T...

Nice to see you back posting, Joe....

$55 is a really nice restaurant price. I joined Columbus's Athletic Club back in February. It is the only restaurant my wife and I will go to indoors. All of the wine on their list is pretty much retail plus $10. They have a fair amount of hard to get wine too. Saw three different Saxums. But those...

It still causes the top wines to sell out at retail doesn't it?

And prices to rise......

You must try the 2007, David.

It was become our Christmas Day meal wine (with espresso-rubbed beef tenderloin)

Kevin,

See my post #230

OK boys and girls....given I have broken my first one (doing what I have been told not to do...Hand drying holding by stem), I have to ask. Dishwasher really? They are too tall to fit in top shelf. And I am scared to death to put on bottom.......can someone tell me A) that yes you put these in the ...

Someone else had a pic of one of Adam’s wines labeled as #1. He noted that there was a printing issue, so, sorry to say, you aren’t special......

Went with the Patricia Green 2015 Marine Sedimentary PN

Absolutely delish, and a screaming great deal.

Lots of good choices across the board here! It's just my wife and our two young kids so prob a little bubbly to start (leaning towards Ultramarine or Under The Wire) and then a 2006 Saxum Booker Vineyard, which I'm pretty damn excited about! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Don't you think the Saxum mi...

I’m looking to open a bottle from my cellar of saxum but not sure which would be drinking best as of now. I’m sure 99% of berserkers on here know more about which to pick than me. Can someone please make a recommendation? These are the bottles I have: 2011 saxum heart stone Thanks and happy holiday...

I have a couple of the 750s put away. Target is next May when my younger daughter turns 21 (birth year port) and my older daughter gets her undergrad degree..........

Ahhhh....Didn't pick up on that!

So you better drink up all of your Jordans!!

I have never had Bedrock. Saying that, I have left all of my mailers. The only one I wish I still had is Carlisle. If I could have kept it and maintained Syrah and petite sirah allocations without Zinfandel, i would have probably done it. I miss those wines. You could have done that easily.......I ...

Smoke. The Dundee Hills got hit hard. We won’t have any single vineyard Pinots and only 1 wine that we bottle in the normal course of business and that will likely be around 1,000 cases.

Well, that sucks too, Jim

Sorry to hear it

Here comes Larry in 5....4.....3.......2.....1.....

Nice midweek break. Looking forward to the day.
I thought BD was always a weekend day

Always the 27th.....

Palinca (Romanian plum brandy) Does this differ from Pelinkovac?? Wow Pelinkovac ! You must be from either western Pa or Easter OH. Tastes like licorice or the purple Neccos. I have lived in both areas, but was turned onto it in the Pittsburgh area..... Now answer the question!! [snort.gif]
