In the spirit of BD16, lets play a game – Reply to this comment with the wine glass emoji 
to be entered into a NEW RAFFLE! No purchase necessary - I’ll randomly select someone to wine a wine pump at 2 PM PST. The wine pump, with a vacuum suction, reseals wine bottles using a reusable rubber stopper, slowing down the oxidation process which makes it possible to enjoy the rest of your wine again at another time.

JUST ADDED NEW OFFER featuring 1994 Pinot Noir.
@Brad_S_w_a_l_l_o_w – you won the wine pump!! Congratulations 
@Justin_Ward in for a How You Doin six-pack – thank you Justin 
I’m so curious what is motivating folks to select one library Pinot over another. Are you a big Friends fan?
@J.P0rt3r in for a Taster 3-Pack - thank you John Did the Pet Nat move you to purchase?
@ekong in for a Smells like Teen Spirit 6-pack. Thank you Eric Excited for you to try our wines, which one are you most looking forward to trying (aside from the 92 of course)?
Congrats @Brad_S_w_a_l_l_o_w !
“Let me start by saying that I never expected to win this award, so I didn’t prepare a speech. [Lengthy prepared speech follows].”
Seriously, thank you! I am looking forward to trying it out, and I am sure it will remind me of BD16 and my introduction to Elkhorn Peak each time I use it.
Thanks again for the excellent offers and for helping me with my purchase yesterday!

Thank you! @Patrick_Taylor and I were working on a bunch of nineties pop culture titles to catch some attention, and somehow this one was born. I’ve swapped a few different titles in and out over the past two days, but this one is my favorite.
BD16 offers extended through the weekend – thank you everyone!

What’s the drinking window for your Pet-Nat? I am clueless.

Most Pet Nats are best enjoyed young, and I certainly had my fair share of the 2023 Pet throughout the summer of 2024. But I also think Pet Nats are one of those rare wines that shine both in their youth and with age. I attribute this to several factors: the tiny bit of residual sediment in each bottle, which I believe enhances the aging process; the naturally occurring CO2; and the fact that we don’t cold stabilize. The wine is still very much alive and can even spontaneously re-ferment at any time.
I periodically revisit my older Pet Nats—I have vintages dating back to 2018—and they remind me of aged Champagne. Over time, they develop richness and depth, with beautiful notes of honey and brioche but still maintain the nice, strong acidity. If I can convert enough Berserkers into Pet Nat fans, maybe there will be an interest in a Pet Nat vertical for BD17??

It looks like the weather is above 40 across the country next week for most of the folks who ordered EP wine!! I will plan on shipping all BD16 orders out next week unless I hear otherwise from anyone. Note: I will hold orders shipping to KS, MA,NE, and IN – weather is leaning towards too cold in those states. If you’d prefer me hold your order, please reply or send me a message. Thanks again and please do write me when you try the wines!
You just snagged the very last bottle of 1997 Pinot Noir @AndrewGD. Really appreciate the order for the King of the World six-pack - thanks a bunch!

Don’t even hesitate on the pet-nat unless you don’t like bubbles or being refreshed or drinking something awesome. Easily could be one of my favorite bottle of bubbles I’ve had in the last few years and that’s comparing to some serious Champagnes, Ultramarine, etc.
Honestly though – your wine reviews and tasting notes are better than ANY of the critics reviews. I regularly recite your tasting note for our chardonnay to anyone and everyone who will listen. Down with Robert Parker, let’s get David Berman out there!!
Don’t know why I’m just seeing this but…bahahaha…thank you. This mead is bubbling along so slow, might be fermenting it a bit too cold.
