Please note I’ve cut off all potential ‘Newbie’ participants (sellers, wineries, etc) and will be making final choices/assignments based on the Monopole Crü tasters’ reviews.
Once I know how many Newbies we’ll included in BD15, final determinations for participating sellers will be made based on feedback received from the 8-person BD15 committee.
Those who ARE chosen will be contacted end of December at earliest, very early January at latest.
and we have our second “That’s what she said” of the thread 
I bought a standing rib roast from Morgan Ranch for Christmas this year…. Needed to taste test prior to Berserker day.
Thank you for your sacrifice
I’ll make sure to write a tasing note.
Hopefully not too many Napa 2020s 
So a real question though… Grand Cru members will get to see the offers on the 24th and then buy them on the 25th?
Also unlike BD day which typically the offers come at different points of the day do the offers the day before all come along at the same time?
A -GCC will see all offers on the 24th. Can buy from only Berserker Business offers on the 24th. The 25th is the same for everyone. Buy from offers as they are posted
B- IIRC they are all posted at once in two different threads. Maybe not exactly all at once, but most. Sometimes a straggler pops up a short while after. Maybe wasn’t fully populated and ready to go at the starting gun. I forget the start and finish time on the preview day
Perfect will sign up then! Thanks
Good call
Some of the pre sale offers will sell out so you do get 1st dibs on Berserker Business offers
Also you go into the next day with full knowledge of the non Berserker Business offers so you can budget (ha)! Some of those will sell out quickly too, do you know which ones to jump on 1st
The great thing about the renewed emphasis on selecting wineries based on merit, interest and sales is to incentivize only the best wines be offered 
Yes, the offers launch in 20 minute increments (TBD but typically that, will be announced ahead of time), in groups. You don’t know what is in each group, but if you are GCC/MC you get to see all of them and buy from BerserkerBusiness offers the day before, so often there’s less stress that way
I agree. This will then allow us to use the weekend to start packing up packages! Yes, please keep Berserker Day (and pre) on weekdays!
And signed up 
yeh I already have an idea based on previous years my ‘targets’, looking forward to it, hope my CC is
Isn’t it the 25th and 26th?
Yes, those are the correct dates
Ok, for those who are sending more Newbies my way…IT’S TOO LATE!!!
I already have 26 Newbies and likely only 10-15 spots for those Newbies…so I can’t take any more. The Monopole Cru tasters (join if you want to be included in this for next BerserkerDay, by the way, plus there will be Monopole Cru exclusive offers on BerserkerDay…) have received or soon are receiving their samples, they will report to me, the decisions will be made based on their recommendations.
Following up on the last post, no need to reach out to me if you are a past participant, either. All those from BD14 are in consideration for BD15, along with the big chunk of potential newbies.
I will hopefully be gathering the reviews/tasting notes from the Monopole Cru members soon, so I can make decisions, and notify the sellers who WILL be participating in BD15 of their selection.
Really not looking forward to this…let me tell you…how I wish I could just let everyone in!
NO FINAL DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE YET - I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE MONOPOLE CRU TASTERS ON THE NEWBIES BEFORE DETERMINING FINAL SELLERS TO BE IN BD15
It’s good to be IN DEMAND!!!
Nice work by our fearless leader and the BD Grand Poohbahs making Berserker Day…
THE PREMIER on-line wine event of the Year!
