Nice!

I made a QR code to the main page if you want that at QR Code Monkey.

Takes you to the main thread page.

It worked on my phone from my screen. Made an SVG file too but this site does not like that extension. They did not have a block out the center like I used before.

awesome, Glenn!! Thanks!

I’ve often wondered where QR codes can work, as if you put them on Instagram, for example, the phone being used to view the QR code can’t be used to ‘scan’ the QR code, correct?

Works with Google Lens

ok, cool, so where is it best to post? That’s what I’m getting to - totally understand when it’s on print and scanned by a camera, but as an Apple user, we’re limited in QR codes, methinks!

Charity bottle is: 2017 Biggio Hamina Caroline Pinot noir Holmes Gap vineyard 100% whole cluster.

Technically you can tap and hold on any photo (or screenshot) of a QR code and iOS will let you navigate to its URL. Most people don’t know that actually works, though, so embedding into a social media post isn’t considered best practice. The QR code is more handy for situations where it’s presented on any non digital device (ie paper)

Sad to say I’ve ended up traveling on Berserker Day and will likely miss out on much of the action. My overloaded storage will be happy, but I hope there’s another event during the year because buying is so much fun!

if only they had wifi on planes…

oh, wait!

Remember, they do, and for BD XI, I was on an international flight from Serbia and was buying a bunch wine on a plane from Serbia to Instanbul and then a bunch more during the layover at Istanbul airport. It was a crazy day. Looking for to this BD from my home office in Utah. Excited as always.

Utah? You just did that for the skiing.

Yes until May. Since Covid its been 6 months in Loa Gatos and six months in Utah. Snowboaring has been excellent lately.

Years ago, before a lot of wineries had websites and WiFi wasn’t ubiquitous, a lot of offers required a phone call or a fax to order. I occasionally ordered wine while sitting in an auditorium at a conference, using a Motorola Startac as a fax (Apple G3 Pismo with a couple of dongles and some software).

First timer question - Is it crazy to take the day off work to focus on BerserkerDay? If I do that, is it better to do that Friday or Thursday for the MC offers?

It’s Preview Eve!

I take the day off for it. Given how the deals roll out randomly and the speed with which good deals sell out, kinda have to haha. Preview day I can just browse at lunch or in the evening no problem.
