Awards

My personal opinion - I like this wine at $17.00 and think its a huge QPR at 5.50/bottle. Not an Aussie Alcohol bomb, but a nice syrah you’re not afraid to take to a dinner party or have as a daily drinker.

Let me know if you have any questions
Cheers

It was our very own Richard Jennings who wrote that note!

What a price, man…

3

Agree on that. $5.50/bottle and a favorable Jennings review, may lead to a purchase. [basic-smile.gif]

For $60/case, I am in. I have chatted with Dave to trust him enough and with a glowing RJ tasting note, I have bought bottles that were more of a gamble.

I pm’ed you Dave, let me know what else you need.

Dave, looks like an amazing deal. And RJ is one of my favorite tasters on CT. That’s a very strong note and score.

Just one question, can you reconcile these 2 statements?

7

I think he’s saying he’ll be busy on the 27th, bottling a different/new wine.

Just sent an email as well. Thanks for the hookup!

Thats it exactly T. The 27th is the big berserker day extravaganza and I wont be accessing the internets much to offer the deal and support it. With the permission of our lovely BerserkerDay committee chair (cbowman) I was given permission to post this deal a lil early. Just a teaser for whats going to be available on the 27th.

We will be bottling 08’s. I am not selling 2005 wine that is still in the barrel. [stirthepothal.gif]

I’m down for a case…if this wine is anywhere near a 91+ point for me this is the deal of the century!!!

Thanks for the deal!!

I’m in too. Dave, I’m sending you a PM…

14

Wow, you guys are going like gangbusters. [thankyou.gif] This PreBerserkerDay special may not last until BerserkerDay. Me thinks I lowered the price too much. [oops.gif]

Some of you have been asking about weather. Our shipper specializes in wine shipping and make the decision to ship or not to ship. I like to get your phone numbers so you can be reached if they decide to sit on your case due to weather conditions.

There are still cases available, but you are putting a serious dent in the inventory, which we like!!

I have contacted everyone that emailed me so far. I still have some PMs to deal make initial contact with, so bear with me.

Cheers
