I still have one lone bottle remaining from the last case purchase offer - 1999 Ravenswood Barricia - unless I can figure out a way to put it in a blind tasting, I might just pop it this week or weekend!

924

Such an easy purchase. I went through my last case in 3 months and was bummed I didn’t get more.

Thought about it, but it was going to get brought up anyways. Just make sure you are quick with the index finger once offer goes live!

926

I passed on the previous offers and now based on this thread regret it.

From the email
“The wines will primarily be from my Ravenswood County Series -Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, along with some Merlot, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Franc”

If he offers up a few cases in Monopole CrĂź, all will be forgiven.

Sorry about coming in on the eve of Berserker Day. I plead ignorance. I
t is so hard to find a good release date where you are not stepping on someone. My apologies.

Ha! In jest, sort of! I’ll probably shell out again…like last time!

But yeah, some hand-selected cases for Monopole CrĂź would be EPIC

Having purchased from two previous library releases for a total of 18 bottles and 4 mags (I am down to two mags still in the cellar), I will likely try to grab a case from this offer as well.

My results have been pretty good- I haven’t had any of the 94+ point bottles I have seen some CT reviewers score (I suspect a good bit of score inflation due to novelty/age), but for the most part they’ve been good- most in the mid- to high-80s for a number. Just three bottles so far have been DOA, and I think that’s acceptable at this age, even with this provenance.

If I get shut out next week, that’s okay too. I’ll just tell my wife that “I passed on the offer” and earn a couple of hero points for my false “restraint.”

Ok, the biggest of the bigs coming up - worked out with Joel some ‘Joel Select’ cases for BerserkerDay 16, for Monopole Crü only…so if you have been considering joining, now’s the time…

More details to come, will post on Monopole Crü as we iron it out. We’ll do 16 ‘Joel Select’ cases, all vineyard designates, in celebration of BerserkerDay 16!
