I was starting to feel bad when I counted 82 bottles…then @JonathanG made me feel good about my restraint :grin:

First time buying from BD so everything was new to me.

The cellar is beyond full. I’m still buying, just have a tight list I buy from each year.

If I only needed some wines…
I’m way overstocked, so my intention was non-wine. I started of well with Flannery hangers, and I knew I wanted another Alan Weinberg turned wood piece. SFSG.
Can never resist great Pinot Noir at a bargain price, so Kelly Fox, and I will give away some wines to make room.
Sandler for old times sake. Baer as a bonus gift to some of our employees.
Tempted by so many more. I hope to live to 110 at least to dip into the other possibilities.

Almost forgot- finally put in for some Smoking Goose!

I started off so well… a large Goodfellow order as per usual. Missed the Monopole Cru offer because I made the rookie mistake of checking to see if I already had the wines. Some delicious beef from Morgan Ranch. A giant box of Dick’s.

It’s been a busy few days of work so I didn’t really have the chance to prepare. Why not go check the remaining offers and see what’s what… Next thing I know I’ve ordered just under seven cases of wine.

First Berserker Day and didn’t plan to buy too much because I literally had 5 cases show up this week. :grimacing:

Happy with what I ended up with though. (Oof just realized another 59 bottles :man_shrugging:). All fun and looking forward to exploring these producers.

You haven’t even been a registered user for 24 hours! Could be rookie of the year.

Awesome @ToddFrench

Kelley Fox 2 mixed cases
Cabot 1 case mixed old and new Zinfandel
Walter Scott 3 pack Monopole Cru, 3 Pack Chardonnay
Perry Colin 6 pack Chardonnay

Basically stuck to my plan. There’s so many producers, I would love to try everything but I kind of stuck with my favorites. Extradimensional and Perry Colin are new to me.

I assume an MC offer

Second Berserker Day. Last year I got two 3-packs, one from Matthiasson and the other from Bougetz. Since I’m totally overflowing with Napa Cabernet right now, I focused on more Rhône varietals this year since I’ve been on a bit of a Grenache kick recently.

1 x 2020 GSM

1 x 2023 Knox Road Grenache
2 x Gamache Vineyard Viognier

Have always enjoyed Washington Rhône varietals, especially Syrah’s, and participating in Prospice’s closeout sale seemed like a no brainer.

2 x 2023 ‘Essen’ Lirac
2 x 2024 ‘Coronati’ Lirac
2 x 2023 CdP

My dad was a Siduri fan when I was growing up, and he helped me develop a passion for wine. So trying @Adam_Lee ‘s new Rhône Valley project is a bit sentimental.

Miiiight also go back and purchase some of Clementine Carter’s Grenache’s just to have a third region represented.

Edit: And that didn’t take long. Order placed for Clementine Carter

Also intended to get the Kelley Fox Maresh magnums but somehow never got around to completing the purchase.
