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

Spent some time in NE Ohio and noticed how expensive wine was compared to NY. Amen. The selection here is anemic at best, and the cost is usually greater than the cost to ship in from elsewhere. Practically none of the wine that is talked about on this board can be sourced from an Ohio retailer. Wh...

I am looking forward to Francois' tasting notes.
He hasn't opened his case

He's tasting through his 1867s........more approachable young......

What the hell is Bionic Frog? It’s a shiraz named after a critter. You guys have those too right? [cheers.gif] [cheers.gif] Thanks Scott. We have a whole vinous zoo full of them. I like the name though. Jeremy - Cayuse's owner, Christophe Baron, is French, hence the frog. If you have met him, you w...

Sounds great Dale!

What do you know about this winery??

Dan-I am brutish at making people look bad, one of my many shortcomings. I rather boorishly corrected Tom Hill about Benito Dusi having passed when I should have just shot him a PM rather than embarrass him publicly. Tom-if you read this please forgive me. Markus-I would say that Thackrey's Rossi v...

+1. Just bought a bunch of of the '15 in halves, and am hoping I don't have to wait forever for them. Speaking of "forever," I just pulled the cork on a 88 Trotanoy to celebrate my continued existence on this side of the dirt for another year. Cork was reluctant to leave the bottle but came out cle...

Continuing my Bordeaux adventures. Opened a 2016 La Dame de Montrose, as a peek into what the grand vin could be like (I'd love to buy a bottle or two of 2016 and/or 2019 Montrose, but not willing to commit infanticide). Quite open with a short decant, muscular and slightly animalistic, with cassis...

How does everyone put their glasses in the dishwasher? I was hoping to find a rack like in a commercial dishwasher that would fit in a home dishwasher. I have a Bosch and it has the spot to hold wine glasses but that didn't get my hard water stains off particularly well. I use these https://www.ama...

Anybody want mine just reach out. I get a good allocation including mags and I’m outta work now after a COVID-19 Force Majeure release from my contact.

Sorry to hear this Glenn. Be well.

Hi all, Finding those relatively inexpensive yet hard to acquire bourbons in Texas is a real pain in the ass unless you show up to stores daily and hope for the best.

Things can change. Pittsburgh went green 6/5 with a return to socially responsible dining. 6/30 with a recent upsurge in cases and all booze is shut down. Things in PA are now being handled on a county-by-county basis. Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) is as Tom posted, but you can still get drinks in ...

If any of you ever lived or passed through a town with a papermill, you will forever have the "corked" smell in your head. It is not easily forgotten.

Try living in a town that had a cork mill, like my grandparents and father did. Nasty beyond nasty.

2000 Grand Puy Lacoste in the decanter, burgers headed to the grill in about 20 minutes, first kid due in four months. Heck of a Father's Day.

Congrats Alex!!!

We are at our place in Ocean City Md and I forgot to bring the wine!!!!

Red card, Brian........

Planning to open a 2008 Cimarossa ‘Rive di Cimarossa’ cab, a 2009 Larkmead cab, and a 2010 Barnett PNVA cab. Got a whole prime tenderloin that I’ll cut into filets later this afternoon. My parents are here and all three of our kids will be home. The oldest will become a father in about 3 weeks, so ...

Baby back ribs on the grill with:

2016 Virage Rose

2015 Lichen Estate Blanc d' Gris

2013 Boheme Old Mancini Ranch Zinfandel

I find it odd, and terribly disappointing, to see it's the topic of fighting against racism that's drawing-out some arguments that could have equally been made before, but weren't. The logical inconsistency is clear. And the fact that it's this topic says a lot. Brian, I think the reason is that ev...

Oxi-clean works well, too, but be sure to rinse very, very well.

I'm really looking forward to this. I received an offer 2 days ago and ordered 3 bottles. Thanks for the note.

Are you driving out to pick it up??

Yep. I avoid anything that Chuck Wagner touches. In general, I am finding myself supporting more of the smaller guys and up & comers. Better customer service and more appreciation for my purchases. And we thank you for your sacrifice! [snort.gif] Neal, OP posted about Woody Allen allegedly molestin...

A 2016 Virage, a 2016 Tercero and a 2017 Franny Beck all disappeared from my cellar this weekend. All were very tasty, and shows that rose can indeed age. Dave, Glad to hear that 2016 showed well. I still have a few cases left that I am laying down to see how they develop over time and I'm excited ...

Love that Boheme zin, and have a couple left, I think.

Quite a contrast in style to Carlisle, which I also love.

Mine arrives today!!

Isn't David Lilly from Chambers Street part of the ownership group?

In for five via Charlie Pay Pal

On BDXI, I bought 3 cases of 750s and 1 case of 375s of Virage 2016 Rose, to back up a couple I had left from the prior year.

Just love this stuff, and have polished off over a 1/2 case since then.

With my 2 daughters and one of their friends....

Was an awesome evening

I think Joe Bembry is still at 56 Degree Wine in Bernardsville. The aforementioned Chris Cree started this shop, as I recall.

Sorry, out of those now.
Mike,

You may want to mark the bottles sold as such (edit the post), so that everyone knows what you have left for sale.
To be fair, Faethm reds weren't listed

Anyone know where I can purchase the Conterno Giacomo Sensory here in the US?
Thanks

See post #30

Just a joyous bottle which made up for some duds on the actual birthday. This wine had real energy, both sweet & tart fruit easily appreciated, length without bitterness. Tannins resolved but not completely absent yet. Delicious bottle. A3C8C12C-7AE7-4CB6-9F30-C7C260671F4A.jpeg Birth year wine, G??...

what's the hierarchy between the Franny Beck Blue Label, Johan and La Chenaie? I got a mixed case, so I don't even know the price points.

Michael gave a nice write-up about this in the Quarantine thread for Franny

Nathan,

Get your ass back here, and that is an order!!!

We miss you

Best of luck to you, Subu - get well!

Great job, Victor......

Tempier is great, and I have to put the Virage 2016 Rose into the mix. Cabernet Franc, and I love it so much I bought 3 cases of 750s, and another of the 375 this past BD.
