Forum rules
Not 'Rules', necessarily, but here's how BerserkerDay goes:
I'll be launching offers in groups of 8-10, in increments of 30 minutes. Sponsors will stay pegged at the top of the forum all day, each new group of offers will come in at the top with them for their launch grouping, cycling into the 'normal' thread after their launch time has passed, with a new launch group posted atop the thread thereafter. Discussion is encouraged, as posting replies moves the thread up to the top of the grouping, whether that is during launch time group or the 'regular' forum.
Keep checking in every 30 minutes for new offers being posted, and keep scrolling down to see everything that has been launched throughout the timeframe in which you've been on the forum, which hopefully is ALL DAY

Tom, I received a 2nd email later showing the order was "canceled" but it was just a shipping refund.
Nola I finally made up my mind on which of your wine offers to go for, I went for the Reserve Duo. Very much looking forward to sampling. You are a double-threat today, food plus wine = take my money!

Hi, the free shipping code didn’t work. Thanks for this offer.
Hmmm I am not sure why it didn't work, no worries, I refunded your shipping charges for you.

Hi Nola,
I put in the shipping code, but was still charged shipping for the 6 pack sparklers.
I do have a guest friend who is looking for this as well.
Your order went through. Thank you!!
Shipping credit processing - thanks for the quick fix!!
LOL Last night at midnight I refunded someone else's shipping, then this morning I did it again Clearly burning a candle at both ends is NOT economical!!

Yes, I shipped out a LOT of packages yesterday. I still have more to ship. The seafood has had a delay from Spain, I 'm told Port congestion on both sides of the planet. In Spain due to COVID and congestion from ramped up shipment from the EU to China causing a shortage of containers and vessels going to the US. It is my understanding with less trade going to the US, China has capitalized. As well, on the US side there has been a backup of the ports due to weather, causing a backup and congestion. The pallets are being loaded and are due to depart tomorrow. Hopefully it will be an import with NO Hiccups!! FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!

Same. Got mine a couple days ago and that was a really beefy cardboard shipper. But when I thought about it, there aren't many shippers out there that can handle regular, champagne size, and dessert/split size bottles in the same box.
Everything looked good. Gonna pop some of the older vintages this weekend.

Just got my case. Those Gorilla Shippers are pretty cool. I haven't seen that before.
They are easier on the fingers than the Spirited Shippers. Lots of abuse to the hands though while working with corrugated boxes!!! I wear double layers of non latex gloves and work gloves over the top. I like the corrugated rather than styrofoam, but it would be really nice for someone to invent economical wine shippers like styrofoam but with edible starch like they have for shipping peanuts.

I have a fond childhood memory of our basset hound getting into a bunch of those. If you're familiar with bassets, you can imagine how that ended up

I don't know if it is edible, but I get frozen meat shipments insulated with a starch based foam that I can toss in the compost pile. I can't think of a reason it couldn't be able to be shaped into a wine shipper.
Preferably it is not edible. A local company started using the biodegradable peanuts, and found that rodents loved them.

Obviously edible isn’t the right track. But easily biodegradable for sure.

That 2005 cab is to die for, in for a case!
Tried one last night. You are right. Grew in richness throughout the evening/six hours I spent with it. So nice.

I have a good bit of it. The back story was that in 2008 when we would have released it it was just not ready. Juan said he would rather hold on to it until it was ready than to sell it before so he shipped it here and that where it stayed. It has aged into a very pretty wine by not. Eventually we changed the label design and distributors said no thanks because it did not fit the “look” of the rest. So, I have a a good number of cases of it available.

Nola, Terry’s comment made me realize that I have not yet received my 2005 Cab case nor the EVOO/Vinegar! Is it shipping soon?
The 2021 EVOO is not here yet, I was planning on shipping together. If you want the Vino before hand, I can ship it now. Let me know.
