WineBerserkers - once again, we are exceptionally thankful for our community’s support. There are new changes afoot for CJF Selections that expand beyond the Grassl brand, and we are launching them here. After the glass sales data below, you will find that we are expanding our “Selections.”
To the easy stuff:
This is all pre-order. But this year’s delay will be measured in days or a few weeks. Email updates on order shipping will follow on February 5th. The product continues to flow freely from our supplier, and the constraints and pain of 2022’s Covid issues have mostly lifted.
Go here: Wine Berserker 2023 — CJF Selections
When you find something you wish to purchase, pay attention to the variant of the products and seek out the WB versions.

On to the Selections part of the show
We plan to launch at least one additional product a month in 2023. Most will be wine-related, tabletop items, or gourmet foods we’ve used ourselves and want to share with you.
DOP Balsamic Vinegar
We have secured a parcel of vinegar from the esteemed producer Ponte Vecchio.
The three-pack will consist of their 12 and 25-year DOP Balsamic and a delicious Rosé Balsamic.
-
The 12-year ‘Affinato’ is a grape must from Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes from Modena, aged 12 years, 100ML. (MSRP: $185.00)
-
The 25-year ‘Extravecchio’ is also a grape must from Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes from Modena, aged 25 years, 100ML (MSRP: $245.00)
-
The Rosé is 250ML. Sampling this was a delight. Fresh, acidic, fruity. I have made dressings with this and added it to a prosciutto, burrata, and fruit platter. Just lovely. (MSRP: $20.00)
The three-pack combo, MSRP $450.00, is on sale today for $335.00, a 25% savings.
These will also be individually priced on the site, but the bundle is an excellent deal.
