Just finished a bottle of Pietro’s 2019 Sangiovese. There are few who bring such an authentic sensibility to farming and winemaking with Italian varieties in California. Every time I have a Prima Materia I’m surprised about the quality and value.
Thank you for mentioning Six Cloves! I am excited to let you know that I will be participating in the BD Day event once again this year. I’m looking forward to seeing both new and familiar supporters of Six Cloves!
Hi John!
Thanks a lot for mentioning about the six cloves! I really appreciate it!
I’m thrilled to be joining BD again this year. I’m excited to have a fantastic time with all our fellow Berserkers at the event!
I’m looking forward to whomever posts the “Riverain is sold out” pic that shows up every year. It makes me chuckle…and I love Steve and Deans wine.
We opened a bottle of 2019 Theopolis Petite Sirah last night that I bought on a previous Berserker Day. We really enjoyed it, and would buy again!
Tekstura! I’ve been blown away by their whites and cant wait to get into the reds! Can’t miss wines for sure!
With BD right around the corner, I wanted to start a thread and share some TN’s for a producer who I know is participating again this year (I think they were a newbie last year?), Tekstura Winery out of Willamette Valley (Eola-Amity Hills to be precise). @Michael_Baryla and I have followed each other on Instagram for a while now, but for some reason, I have never tried his wines. He was kind enough to help me remedy that by sending me some the other day, and I have been DAMNED impressed with …
She will!!
Hi Diana! That’s really great to hear!
We have some exciting packages this Berserker Day as well. We are so happy to be apart of this community.
Wonderful!!!
the Monopole-Cru-only deals are stacking up HUGE, people, wow…I’m not sure we have enough Monopole Cru members for them!
I think I’ll post a list of the sellers with offers there on Preview Day so last-minute-subscribers know what they are missing…until they join!

WOOT WOOT!
how about a retailer that sells mature wines after your namesake?
Psst, can I interest you in an old bottle of Todd?

Sigh, that’s clearly over the hill.

TN: 1970 Todd_F - (USA, California, Orange County)
NOSE: big nose; expressive and sonorous especially for the age. If served blind, I might have guessed a New World Zin or Red Blend; think Ridge or Charles Krug. Not Turley - it would have faded by now.
BODY: robust and youthful with tannins receding a pinch; a real stunner.
TASTE: a symphony of flavors; mature and refined with some tawdriness – reminiscent of Stravinsky minus the riotous crowds; could benefit from some short-term cellaring but really, how long do you want to wait? Day 3: doing good; some rosin characteristics. This is a classic Todd_French. Drink on January 26th. (89 points PT, 98 points JS)
I’m literally suspending your account for a month for giving me 89 points.
Fail.
giving me 89 points
Fixed to add JS score.

Huh? There’s a retailer with my name in it?
No giving away the secrets, bro!! I’ll lock that one up tomorrow.
Really need a Monopole-Cru-only offer preview day purchases.
Avoids forgetting to check that thread on BD until it’s too late!

Blown away by the newbie sellers I’ve been working with and the offers! yeow!
