Just over 9 cases for this wino.

New (to me) wineries/wines: Walter Scott (Chard); JB Neufeld (Cab); Vincent (Chard & Pinot); Calluna (Cab); Violin (Pinot); and, Kelly Fox (Pinot).

Repeat wineries/wines: Patricia Green Cellars (Pinot); Goodfellow Family Cellars (Chard & Pinot); and, Virage (Merlot/Cab Franc).

Pinot Noir is pretty new to me and while back around 1995 I had a glass of some very young Martinelli Pinot Noir my friends had purchased during our Sonoma/Napa vacation, all I got from it then was “strawberries” and little else. It probably was a great Pinot Noir - it simply did not resonate with me. That all changed a couple of Berserker Days ago and, well, this BD15 I’ve loaded up on 5 cases of Oregon Pinot Noir (and the bulk of my wine purchases the past two years have been Oregon Pinot Noir). So, yeah, I’ve got that Oregon Pinot Noir “bug” at this point! :sunglasses: :wine_glass:

Also picked up what no doubt is some killer Oregon Chardonnay. Mostly for my best friend, my kid, and others who like Chardonnay, but after having enjoyed a few bottles of Marcus and Megan’s 2018 Durant, I think I might actually like Chardonnay . . . . :grinning:

Finally, my Cab/Merlot bottles in the old coal room (my passive cellar) were complaining to me the other night that they are feeling neglected and lonely for some “new” friends . . . and, so, what can I say?

All in all, such a fun BD15. Oh, and my cc has been resting in the freezer this past hour as I had noticed some smoke rising from it and figured it was time . . . .

Edit to add: damn credit card ended up back by the laptop - how the hell did THAT happen? Now I have another new winery and wine to try with my white-wine-drinking friends, Orr Wines 2022 Old Vine Chenin Blanc. :grinning: :clinking_glasses:

Second Edit: well, apparently that credit card was emboldened by a belief that I somehow approved of its crazy behavior regarding that Old Vine Chenin Blanc . . . and just now I discovered it purchased a six-pack of some Hundred Suns Pinot Noir. Pure, unadulterated wino lunacy! :wine_glass:

Third Edit: okay, I can blame Ed for this, right? I mean, the fact is the Sandler website still is offering the BD15 deals . . . and, well, hell . . . another six bottles of Pinot Noir to my list. :rofl: :wine_glass:

  • Astrea

Went in with a solid operation plan to buy max 2 cases total from 4-5 wineries and some Flannery steaks…then when live bullets started flying the plan went out the window faster than a Putin dissenter.

Ended up with the steaks, Dicks + over 4 cases of wine from:

Jean Edwards (@Karen_Troisi promised me a Lombardi trophy after all!)
Orr (her Chenin is an every year purchase)
Tercero ( too damn intrigued by some of those whites to pass up)
Baer (needed some Ursa in a major way)
Riverain (Tench…'nuff said)
Sabelli-Frisch (they just started shipping to Ohio, had to try based on the raves here)
Tekstura (one of my planned purchases, see I can stick to the plan sometimes)
Belharra (my wife loves rose, so maybe if I say I got this for her she won’t kill me)
Big Basin (Q: how many BD deals do you need to buy? A: just one more)

I’m glad you mentioned Repour. I missed that completely.

I controlled myself extremely well. I have no space, so I needed to keep things small, and ended up with just a single case.

Goodfellow sparkling (planned)
Matthiasson (planned)
Perkins Harter sparkling (unplanned)

Plus Dick’s and Morgan Ranch (both planned).

My spend was low so there will be very little dirty looks or questions thrown my way, other than the “why did you buy more when you don’t have any space” conversation all of us are bound to have over the next few weeks.

|Patricia Green|6|
|Chiron|3|
|Claire Hill|5|

Still may pull the trigger on Apollo (I know nothing about the Finger Lakes) and Hundred Suns).

I’m trying a new strategy: telling my wife.

Mostly approved for food, so far.
