Get With The Program - - - Enter your BD Purchases Properly in Cellartracker

Why? You’re not buying from Berserkers, you’re buying from the wineries involved.

Hola Pete, I’ve reconsidered my initial instincts, my thought process is my last post here.

I see BD being the venue.

That’s your prerogative my friend, it’s your CT.

That it is, and the only time I really care is if something is not there. Which, knowing producer and venue, I know whereto go. The rest is a who cares to me. If there’s a value to WB and I can help with the cause, why not. Its not a secret lol.

First time seeing this, however I’ll take the time to tweak.

Recommendation for next year, partner with CT and every offer has a deep link setting the table to add the given bottle/pack/bundle with a one-click confirmation, defaulting all the pertinent info. Whoever does that will be a hero, and I can’t see how its that hard.

Working on that…Eric’s got a project in the works that should be in place by next BerserkerDay, I hope! We have discussed it, it’s just not ready yet

That’s great . . . . but until then even better if each winery would simply have a link to add their wine on CT. I’m fine putting in remaining information - quantity, price, etc. if need be.

Spell it out and give Todd all the free advertising! Why? I have no idea. It’s not like he deserves it, but it’s the right thing to do anyway.

Isn’t the better free advertising asking each participant tell Todd how much they sold so he can produce some total data on sales? It’s not like everyone uses CT . . . and is anyone using CT going to find out about Berserker Day by seeing one “store” pop up with high sales?

AND don’t be lazy and just put BD

says the guy who puts BD in the thread title

People here are already in the Kool Kids club and they know the secret handshake.

I believe Todd already collects that info from the sellers

Just edited my preview day buys.

Supports this forum and costs me nothing so why not?

You tell 'em Jay!

[JBrochu]

I like to use the producer as the store when I buy direct, so I can differentiate between which bottles I bought direct and which I bought from a retailer/middleman. It also makes it easier to sort my pending wines into some kind of list of when I think things might be shipped, and the quantities. etc. Which is important because my cellar is maxed out right now.

And over and over and over and over.

Don’t you people know the rules? When purchasing wine on Berserkerday and entering the purchase into Cellartracker, the “store” where you purchased the wine is called “Berserkerday,” not “Direct.” I know this is like herding cats and I know some of you have very shorty term memories, BUT if you want to prove to the industry why more wineries should participate next year, be sure to list your store as Berserkerday in Cellartracker. If you have already entered your purchases into CT incorrectly (THAT’S YOU, the two Monopole Cru people who listed their Chiron Mag purchases incorrectly, get yourself back to Cellartracker and edit your entry. AND don’t be lazy and just put BD or BD 13. Those initials don’t mean shit to newbies and the uninitiated. Spell it out and give Todd all the free advertising! Why? I have no idea. It’s not like he deserves it, but it’s the right thing to do anyway.

It sounds like you’re telling me what to do.

You must be new here. That’s what everyone on WB does every day. I have no horse in this race and due to the excess of wine that I own I will not be buying very much this year, but since I think Todd is doing all of us a solid by running this insane asylum (despite my regular disagreements with him), I thought we should return the favor.

Luddite. What do you use? MyWines?

That’s no excuse. If it says Berserkerday, isn’t that enough to tell you that you bought it direct?

VinoCell. Found it way before I found this board and I have stuck with it. I am good with it for now.

It would be nice if Eric is able to edit the system so a dropdown exists of previously added purchase locations. So you don’t have redundancy of the same location that are named differently "BD13, “BerserkerDay”, “Berserker Day”, etc.

I asked him about that once or twice and it’s challenging given existing data (IIRC). One person uses one spelling/acronym and someone else uses another. Same for “winery” - some use that, some use “direct” some use “winery direct” “mailing list” etc. How to consolidate all of those but do it in a way that doesn’t override each person’s particular approach.

[David_Baum]

Never a problem for me. Have entered 100% of wines bought on BD that way

[DIANAD]

I just kept it at the default “unknown “
