I had tried your wines from previous BDs, but after my wife and I visited with you in 2023 and you opened a “mystery bottle” of a 20 year old cab that was absolutely singing, I was a fan for life. The hospitality along with the variety of excellent wines completely sold us as Scherrer disciples.
And I agree, I bought some of your library wines and the older Zin and Pinots not only hold up but develop and improve with some time in the cellar.
I just checked CellarTracker. I have 121 bottles of Scherrer wine in my cellar going back to ‘99 but only one bottle of the ‘19 and ‘20 Helfer Chardonnay and no ‘21s. Time to add on 2 3-packs.
Fred and Judi rule! Going to miss not having the Valentine’s Day Winemaker Dinner this year.
Brian,
Glad you’re so organized. Wish I was.
That 2020 Helfer Chard is a baby but baby, it’s showing great!
VD dinner: We are also bummed out that it’s not happening this year. Caterer with the food truck retired, Region had a difficult time finding someone to fill those very large shoes, Jacob, the (real) musician was booked elsewhere, etc. We’re gonna do something special in May, even if not a sit-down dinner with wine pairings. Likely Mother’s Day.
Stay tuned,
F
Dang you got me beat. I have 46 in mine (not counting 2 futures orders not yet accounted for). That is right around 15% of my cellar plus or minus the bottles my wife doesn’t take out of CellarTracker
In for a pack of zin!
Jean-Paul,
I hope you enjoy this style of Zin as much as I do. Should be shipping to your location next week…

Double 3-pack OMV Zin in, since Fred is the OMV OG!
Todd, thanks! Us OG’s need go stick together…

3rd time ordering from Scherrer on BD, absolutely love these wines!
Eric,
Thanks for coming back to the well. I’m delighted that you love them. That’s the idea. They’re not for everyone, nor can they be. But for those of us that look for that kind of resonance, they are ideal.

With lots of Scherrer in the cellar, I was going to sit this one out, but I just opened a 2017 Gunsalus Pinot and it is so good. Plenty of gas in the tank, but, boy, is it delicious now. In for a triple play!
LOL! Scherrer was the secret winery I was waiting for – their library sale is what I wait for all year long --picked up 7 cases at the winery last year and have more waiting for me to go pick up.
Excited to try the Syrah!
Diane,
Glad to hear the Gunsalus PN talked you into coming back to the well.

Peter,
You certainly know how to use your library card well!
Thank you for your support.

Scherrer is the secret winery I was referring to yesterday. Got everything I wanted – the wine cooler has about 50 bottles now, more waiting at the winery for me to pick up. Scherrer Pinots rule!
You’re my only source besides (rarely) Costco. Why reinvent the wheel when I’m so happy with everything I’ve gotten from you. I feel vindicated even more knowing what Todd has said about your Pinots,(my passion)
In for (2) OMV 3 packs! These are my favorite zins and hope I can show the restraint to put a few of these away for a few years as the 2012 OMV I had the other night was singing! Thanks, Fred!
Ordered the OMV 3pack to try these out after seeing such rave reviews on the board. @Fred_Scherrer any recommendation on which of the three in that pack is showing best right now?
Fred, thanks for everything.
Just purchased the pinot 6 pack.
The warden said “did you buy from that Fred guy again?” Sure, baby, I’m on it.
