Unfortunately I switched to Google’s new GA-4 analytics, and they are entirely different parameters than the old way, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to compare apples to apples. By the OLD parameters last year I wrote the following:
Previous record users online was 3820 or so (forgot to screenshot it, have it somewhere) and we quickly surpassed that yesterday with 4258
Last BerserkerDay we had 11,146 users on the site on Jan 27, this year 12,412 (photo below) with almost 50% new users!
The built-in metrics measure differently, and more accurately, of course, and show this, thus far (at 1pm Pacific, mind you, and this is ‘consolidated pageviews’ rather than just ‘users online’)

Yes, unfortunately for my financial future.

Me before today: “I really need to stop buying Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and focus on other varietals”
Me today: “So… I just bought how many more cases of Pinot and Chardonnay?”

Why would you buy worse varietals?

Good news: so many great offers!
Bad news: OMFG the auctions are crazy! How quickly can you get a new credit card approved?

There were lots of discussions with donors that started with me asking “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Let me just tell you guys, that if you’re going to be away from WB for five years or so, mid-January isn’t the time to come back. Looking for my HELOC checkbook…
if you get one, I need that assistance as well kthxbai

Now is also not the time to have a HELOC
Too late.
But don’t worry - I’m buying 2 or 3 $30 bottles for every $200 bottle I buy to keep things “balanced.”

Charts make me nervous. I can just walk into the cellar and visualize how unbalanced my collection is. (Hint - it looks alot like yours).

My cellar is like 60% red burg and 30% champagne; I don’t have that much chard that’s not in champagne as I’ve mostly sold it, but still like them occasionally. I mostly have daily drinkers with only a few gems left.
