I assume the <O> designation in Cellartracker for the Riesling is the Orange wine. That is how I entered it.

Yes indeed! Funny, the TTB won't let us put ORANGE on the label. Lest the wine be made of oranges?

Hi Bill - I went in for 2 six packs, and was charged $80 for shipping

Bill H o o p e r · #53 Post by **Bill H o o p e r** » January 27th, 2019, 11:33 am

Thank you Dave! I'll refund the difference for any mistakes. It looks like Maybe OH and CO are set up wrong for flat-rate.

Sorry about that!
Bill

First time trying Paetra wines, but I feel like I can't lose given all of the Berserker love for them. I love Riesling, so excited to try these.

I just checked my notes on those '14 Eola-Amity Hills. I seemed to like them a lot.

Thank you so much Paula! Texas is coming up BIG for us today!

In for the case...heard lots of good things so very excited to try!

Love these wines.

I tried making Riesling for a few years, from one of the top RZ vineyards in Northern CA - Greenwood Ridge. I adore the grape and am smitten with its ability to make a broader array of world class styles, from more diverse sources, than any other grape variety. This was my undoing - it's the only time I've gone into a project with the conception of what I wanted my wine to taste like, rather than reacting to the fruit in front of me and letting the vintage drive the decision making. I was making wine to a style that didn't fit the fruit - I wanted Mosel Riesling. It didn't work.

That's what so impresses me about folks like Bill - his Riesling is unique. It wouldn't taste the same if any body else make it, from any grapes elsewhere in the world.

Alright! Down to the last few cases of the 2014. 6pks for $39 to clean it up!

Shipping is pretty expensive for OR to CA - if we can provide you with a GSO account or pre-paid shipping label would you use that instead? (I've got a friend with an account they can use.)

stewart lancaster · #61 Post by **stewart lancaster** » January 27th, 2019, 12:59 pm

3rd year buying. Went for the case of 2014. Looking forward to it

Hi Adam,

Shipping and packaging is pretty hard for me to get around at these discounted prices. I appreciate that, but unfortunately I'm taking a bath on shipping overall (a case to the east-coast is easily $80-$90 including packaging. I'm really sorry that I can't go lower. I think it's still a pretty good deal.

Thanks man!
Bill

Don't know these wines at all but they sound too interesting not to try. Looking forward to them.

James
Thanks my man! I'll leave it open for you.

Come visit soon!
Bill

Bill,

Thanks. Can you send an invoice or let me know how to finish my order? Tara and I will be back the last week of June. So it will be soon. Thanks again.

James

John Eckenrode · #66 Post by **John Eckenrode** » January 27th, 2019, 1:26 pm

Hi Bill
Just ordered everything!
I'm in Oregon and last year I just stopped by and picked up.
I will do the same this year. I know for sure I will be in your direction in early March.
I was charged $80 for shipping, so I reckon we can just sort that out then.
Last year that just turned into more wine!! In short: do not ship to me, John Eckenrode.

#67 Post by **Bryce K** » January 27th, 2019, 1:27 pm

First time for me, but it sounded so good I couldn’t pass it up - looking forward to the 6-pack!

Yikes! Those are some crazy inbound charges - the next frontier of Berserker Day ought to be making your life easier and cheaper for shipping!

#69 Post by **JoeDaniels** » January 27th, 2019, 1:46 pm

Hi Bill, I got my order in. Is it possible to arrange pickup and avoid shipping?

#70 Post by **Leonard Taylor** » January 27th, 2019, 1:49 pm

Man, I just couldn't resist ordering more of the 2014. I was already splitting a case with friends but I am going to just keep all these six. I am pretty stoked from all the praise and can't wait to try.

#71 Post by **Jeannean/Ryman** » January 27th, 2019, 2:12 pm

I have too few Reisling because I like them so much. Excited to try a new one. Thanks for participating!

Hi James! Thank you so much! It appears like it went through. I'll send you another invoice just in case you didn't get it.

Hit me up in June brother!

Contemplated the case of 14's before but passed. Saw the 6 pack and jumped on it.

Thanks Bill

#75 Post by **dsGriswold** » January 27th, 2019, 4:31 pm

Bill, If you have any more of the '14 left, I could take some off your hands. Not wanting to be greedy, but I like Riesling almost as much as Pinot Noir, and I have a heck of a lot more PN than Riesling.

Bill H o o p e r · #76 Post by **Bill H o o p e r** » January 27th, 2019, 5:15 pm

Dennis, I'm on it! Come visit soon!

#77 Post by **Chad R** » January 27th, 2019, 5:35 pm

Bill - thanks for participating. Found you here last year at BD9 and Paetra was my top priority purchase this year. Just love your wines. I just added a 2014 6 pack to my earlier purchase of 2017 6 pack. Wanted to flag so that you can ship them together. Thanks!

#78 Post by **rjquillin** » January 27th, 2019, 6:10 pm

Nice offers, need to restock.
Any chance you could do a GSO ship on my account to help cut the case shipping a bit?

I had convinced myself this afternoon that I was done shopping - but couldn't stop coming back to this offer. Late to the party, but in for #2 and #3.

Bill if you still have any left, can you reserve a 6pack of the 2014 for me with local pickup? Send me a PM, happy to pay immediately.

Hoang Pham · #85 Post by **Hoang Pham** » January 28th, 2019, 10:37 am

Sold! In for a BD2. Need to fill out the cellar with more rieslings.

My bad - sorry about that!

Thank you Jorge! It's really fun to pair with food. The color is gorgeous and I was fascinated with the idea of doing a high acid white in a style that would also provide a lot of tannin. Orange Riesling is sort of like Nebbiolo if it was a white variety. I hope you love it! Please let me know!

Thanks again,
Bill

Hi Daniel,

I'd love to have you! I'll be in NY late March, but should be around the first half. Send me an email and we'll set it up. Vineyard tour and barrel-tasting if you'd like.

Thank you!
