We’re so toxic over here. :weary::face_vomiting:
It’s called Berserkers for a freaking reason. If you are easily intimidated by intelligent people then stay away.

This one is v nice:

“iirc the OG members were castoffs from the old Robert Parker boards who were purged under threats of literally lawsuits. The wine collecting community is pretty toxic just because half are attorneys and have personalities to match. Add in the Big Swing Dicks IB/Wall St. monied types and you get the same kind of social atmosphere of private cigar lounge or something. Certain threads that focus on up & coming Burgundy producers or which Piedmont winemakers are modern vs. traditional are interesting because these folk have very deep pockets so they can taste broadly. I’ve tried some of the BerserkerDay discount offerings from a colleague who frequently buys and found the bottles underwhelming, but decently priced.”

I’m neither an attorney nor investment banker. Must’ve missed my calling.

WB is so toxic that I’ve even had Berserkers show up at the same restaurant as me when I’m travelling. And on top of that, they bring wine and they expect me to drink it with them.

“Hard core wine fans can be like really hard core jazz fans. They become quite insular and elitist and condescend to people who don’t have their same tastes.”

Love it. I get a twofer. :wine_glass: :musical_note:

How do you do status ? I simply added it to my name.

Edit, figured it out.

Listen, I’m not saying you can’t put ice cubes in your Barefoot, I’m just saying you should alter the glassware to adjust for the diminished nose.

Man, if Reddit is saying the culture here is toxic . . . .

It was “Big Swing Dicks IB/Wall St. monied types,” not lawyers. Perhaps they are less impressed with the size of the lawyers’ swings

My favorite also.

I’ve never seen someone here in need of kindness not get flooded with it.

We are a nice bunch.

WB has really enhanced my joy.
