Pre Berserker Day Shout Outs -- What are you excited about?

@J_P_Cart

First time, had no expectations other than maybe still being able to get a little work done today. Got nothing done and snagged 3 cases from 6 producers, Sabelli-Frisch the only one over 6 bottles.

[Brian_Be]

I was at my 2 case max until I saw the Sabelli offer, and I’m likely to pick up some Violin tomorrow…

[John_Powderly]

I’m excited to explain to the wife how the credit card balance went that high when I kept telling her that BD15 was tomorrow.

@JBrochu

I had a fixed limit of 2 cases. Bought 3.5 so far. Still itchy.

I think tomorrow someone has a creme for that, and you can actually buy it tomorrow, per the rules!

Apply liberally to affect areas. Repeat hourly

@Brian_Be

2 case max

This is Berserker Day, there are no maximums.

[Mikko_Tuomi]

This is such a load of BS. I sort of decided to buy a few and mostly sit this one out.

So far, $2k in.

[Jason_L]

you sick bastard!! well done.

[JonathanG]

budget blown by 4x and thats before the main show starts tomorrow.

[grovertrask]

BD is the ultimate wine FOMO experience!

Hey you’re going to make people think I was one of the cheaters with whatever was going on in the preview forum!

I did a new post for Perkins HARTER because I have meaning to write something for awhile. Needless to say I am extremely about these wines:

Who is drinking Perkins HARTER?

Since Perkins HARTER is now part of BD15 I have been meaning to write something up about these wines and people. Well better late than never. I first tried one of their chards during the pandemic. I noticed that they were distributed in NYC by Vom Boden. Which is odd because VB is mostly German. I knew of course they would be good but never got around to asking Stephen, my partner in source | material about them. The best part of the pandemic was ordering lots of new wines to try. This was b…

Is jasper hill participating?

[Konda]

Good to know, @Uli_K! I’ve got a bunch more coming from BD15 and looking forward to every one of them. Hope you found some newbies and favorites this year, too!

[Uli_K]

Yes, I’m pretty confident you’ll be happy. So much passion in every Prima Materia bottle. Newbies for me this year are Perkins Harter and Matthiasson (although it feels very weird to say that about the latter).

@Konda

Good to know, @Uli_K! I’ve got a bunch more coming from BD15 and looking forward to every one of them.

What bottles of Prima Materia did you decide order?

@Uli_K

Yes, I’m pretty confident you’ll be happy.

Any particular faves?

(Asking because I bought a case on BD15, and Pietro kindly agreed to let me fill it out later.)

[J_Patrick_Lynch]

There is some sangiovese on the Underground Cellars liquidation.

[Uli_K]

@Patrick_Taylor

Any particular faves?

For me it’s the Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. Depends on what you like though, Pietro takes you on a tour of Italy by way of Lake County. You can check out the notes from my newbie review here: Prima Materia | The Italian Connection **OFFER CLOSED** Thanks Everyone! - #2 by Uli_K

Going into summer, I’d also consider the Negro Amaro. And the Grenache is a sleeper hit.

[Konda]

Ah yes - I have a bunch of the Sagrantino planning to spend maybe 4-5 years in the wine fridge. It’s powerful stuff and I’m obsessed with Sagrantino. Possible to decant it now for several hours, too. (The Katechon blend is pretty big, too.)

Aglianico and Mourvèdre - don’t miss them!

I’ll know more after this year’s mixed cases arrived. Definitely want to try the … um … everything.

[Uli_K]

I have both the Sagrantino and the Mourvèdre stashed away, but haven’t tasted them yet. Maybe towards the end of the year…

[Konda]

I really appreciate your notes on the Prima Materia wines for BD15, @Uli_K . Very thoughtful and vivid, they gave a real insight into the bottles. It can be hard to wander outside one’s comfort zone without them!
