BRICELAND VINEYARDS
Thanks for looking. We have been participating in Berserkers Day and on the site for more than a decade. I love the community. We rely on Berserkers Day to cover our bottling expenditures at this slow time of year. Over 80% of our orders this year are from repeat customers. This extra time gives first timers a chance to give our juice a shot. Check it out. Read the comments from trusted berserkers. Check out CT reviews. All signs are, it’s safe to jump in.
Thanks for your ongoing support to all of those who have come back for more.
Deals first, story follows. An asterisk (*) indicates that the wine was made with organically farmed grapes.
Thanks for looking at our 11th annual Berserker Day offering. The Berserkers experience has been a fantastic way to connect our tiny, off the beaten path winery with true wine lovers. What a joy!
- Edit since I originally posted… I had chosen to reduce the number of offers significantly this year, but then I got complaints/requests to have more of our offerings represented here. So, now, more choices.
Humboldt Pinots: Humboldt County Pinot Noir 6 pack (Offer #1) • $188
Two each of three Pinots, the vineyards are spread across the Southern Humboldt county. Ronda’s, located just a few miles northeast from the winery tends to yield wines of exceptional complexity and structure which are more acid than tannin driven. Phelps Vineyard is about two miles due North from the winery. It is known for surprisingly structured Pinots which take time to emerge. The 2019 Humboldt Appellation PN is a blend of Alderpoint, Phelps and Ronda’s Vineyards.
- 2017 Humboldt Pinot Noir, Ronda’s Vineyard* (13.6% / 139 cases)
- 2017 Humboldt Pinot Noir, Phelps (12.4% / 87 cases)
- 2019 Humboldt Appellation Pinot (13.4% / 275 cases)
Ishi Pishi Reds (Offer #2) • $208
Ishi Pishi Ranch is a unique vineyard and this sampler allows you to a deep dive into the terroir. The cooler climate means that grapes can be picked at a lower Brix, yielding wines with higher natural acidity and lower alcohol levels. 2 each to make the 6er.
- 2019 Humboldt Cabernet Sauvignon, Ishi Pishi Ranch (13.1% / 48 cases)
- NV Noir d’Orleans (Bdx Blend)* (13.3% / 256 cases)

Reds with Acid (Offer #4) • $178
These two wines share the traits of being light bodied, yet full flavored with bright red fruit and lively tartness. 3 Each of two wines.
