Anyone interested in investing in a project in Burgundy? News from Chambertin

Commerce Corner - Wine Classifieds

Hey guys,
things have moving very quickly with the project in Burgundy. As I posted in the other thread: a day job in Burgundy (with updates) - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, we just confirmed on the facility in Beaune. As many of you know, I am in no way a wealthy guy. I don’t have large amounts of money stockpiled away somewhere. What I do have is a sound business plan, a great opportunity to do something unique and the commitment to see it through.

As a negociant, the overhead and operations costs are fairly inexpensive. As I mentioned in the other thread, I have been hesitant in posting something like this previously. However, I do realize that many on this board might be interested in something like this. This will not be posted on any other site. If you are interested, feel free to drop me a line to get some of the particulars.

Potential investment queries will be handled with discretion.

Thanks in advance,

Ray [cheers.gif]

Just fyi, Ray did ask for permission prior to posting this, and I gave him the go-ahead.

Another fyi - for every share in his Burgundy project you buy as a result of this solicitation, I get two. Just making sure I put it all out there in the spirit of full disclosure…

Hey guys, just wanted to thank those that expressed interest in spite of Todd’s sense of humor. Todd, thanks for letting me post it up. [cheers.gif]

Got a call from a contact in Burgundy today. I got offered grapes from

Morey St Denis 1er Cru…I can’t reveal the vineyard :wink:
Charmes Chambertin GC

Today has been an excellent day for the project. For those interested in being a part of a Burgundian negociant winery with a low investment, let me know. [cheers.gif]

Another vineyard added to the list today:
its a Beaune 1er Cru

Also, I have secured long term contracts on all three sources. This puts to bed the thought of having a one off bottling.

For those interested, the investment window will remain open until August 1st.

Alright, I have some awesome news to share.
I was just offered GRAPES from CHAMBERTIN! [worship.gif]
This is turning into something very special.

I’m floored. Everyone, please join me in having a killer day!

Cheers,

Ray

Congrats!

I would raise a glass of Burg tonight to toast you…but alas, I have zero Burg. Maybe a nice Central Coast Syrah?

Meh, you won’t be able to tell the difference! [rofl.gif]

In all seriousness, Ray — AWESOME!

Bill, that’ll work just fine. Thanks! [thumbs-up.gif]

Thanks Josh. Things just continue to flesh out. I went and looked through a bunch of emails saying that I wouldn’t be offered any fruit. A few ended with ‘good luck’.

I hope the good luck keeps rolling in. [thankyou.gif]

Ray, they must have seen that you are on Berserkers…it makes things happen.

Thanks to members from this board, the project has received an amazing response for both Mailing List and Investors. Thank you for all of the support.

Also, as requested, I am extending the Investment Window through Sept 10th.

Cheers

Thanks Philip,
it’s coming along well. I am leaving to Beaune this Saturday. Updates to follow!

Go and get after it, Ray! We all want to see a fellow boardmember follow his dream - and realize it as well.
