Time Travel Activated. Inflation (and Shipping!) Erased.
This year I’m taking it back to when these records dropped — and priced the wines to match.
Everything is line-priced. No bottle is over $25. Shipping is even included this year. I went buck wild.
Packs include Single Vineyard SRH Pinot Noir and Old Vine Bien Nacido Chardonnay (planted in 1974 and since grafted over!) for as low as $20 btl to your door.
-
ALL 6 packs traveled back to 1982 (the year ‘Abracadabra’ came out and I was born) = $25 bottle LANDED.
-
And, ALL 12 packs went WAY back to 1976 (‘Take the Money & Run’ + ‘Fly Like an Eagle’ era) are $20 bottle LANDED.
No mental math. No decoding.
Just pick that pack/s that bring a smile to your face and enjoy the ride.
Because joy shouldn’t require a calculator.
The WHY to this years theme is below along with how to enter the RAFFLE for one of TWO Dealer’s Choice 6 Packs and read the FAQ’s.

And, if you fancy fully immersing yourself in this year’s theme, here’s the spot on perfect SPOTIFY PLAYLIST.
THE JUICY WHY TO THIS YEARS STEVE MILLER BAND THEME
The year was 2000.
Summer of 2000, to be exact.
I had just graduated high school and been jamming out them (and the Car’s, yes my musical taste preceeded my time) for four summers straight—usually slathered in Banana Boat oil (because epic tan now > skin damage later lol), dreaming of being born a decade or two earlier. And, wham. It was announced they were playing outdoors in my hometown of Temecula.
Steve. Miller. Band.
I bought tickets the minute they went on sale.
And, man oh man if arriving there that day didn’t feel like accidental time travel.
Suddenly it was the late 60s here… the 70s there… the early 80’s over here…maybe a little bit of everywhere all at once. The clothes. The music. The unmistakable aroma of what I now know to be non–single strain Mary Jane floating through the air.
And then there was her.
A brazen woman in a cream, crocheted, long-sleeve dress. Donning absolutely nothing underneath. Bare feet. Long, wild hair. Her 70s was on display in every possible way.
I was 18. It was epic and as such, indelibly inked in my memory bank for life.
So this year, for BerserkerDay 17, I decided to turn up the heat.
Get a little unhinged.
Very me.
And also… make the math and hopefully whether or not to buy stupidly simple.
See below for Chat GPT’s far hotter than IRL version of the infamous crochet dress woman.

A BIT OF STREET CRED
Michelin Star
The ‘Westside’ Red Table Wine - 100% single vineyard Grenache! - graces the list at 1 of only 7 currently TWO STAR Michelin Restaurants in SF!
The venerable SAISON!San Francisco Wine Panel
95+ POINTS
2021 Old Vine Bien Nacido Vineyard ChardonnayThis fine Chardonnay is both full and elegant, if a trifle reserved at opening. The nose offers scents of fresh apple skin, baked green apple and quince along with emerging hints of nectarine, chamomile, honey, nutmeg and hazelnut nougat.
Zest and minerality bring a racy feel on the palate where graceful yet tongue-coating flavors fan out in a supple display. The finish is lingering and builds with airing to unfold a more plush replica of the aromatic profile. Likely to grow in dimension over the next year or two, ((note: reviewed late 2022)) it will become a generous companion to the richer fish, fowl and white meat entrees"
