You know you're a wineberserker when . .

I thought it would have been the other way around. :smiley:

You are up at a very remote hunting/fishing lodge down a 25 mile long logging road near the Minnesota/Canda border to hunt grouse and woodcocks with a wood burning stove in your cabin, go to the bathroom in an outhouse, etc,…

But you managed to bring a couple of Conterno Sensory wineglasses.

I reserve the right to revert to this option for future bigger deliveries.

You’re gonna need a bigger cart friend :wink:

…you’re debating “bargain” Burgundies in the $475 range.

475 is a really good price for the Dujac CDLR at this point, fwiw.

Thank you for reinforcing my point. :grin:

EDIT: BTW, this is by no means a criticism. But it is incontrovertible proof of one’s bona fides as a wineberserker.

Okay, this is my best shot.

You’re on a social mountain bike ride. On the way up a trail, the reminder you set on your phone goes off. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to snipe in some auctions, you tell your friends that you need to take some pictures of a switchback to consider for future trailwork.

Friends go on up the hill. Time is short. Not one but two auctions are ending in two minutes. You pick the less critical one and enter your bid. You are now high bidder, though at risk of someone bidding again. No matter, now there’s less than a minute. You bring up the other auction and frantically enter your bid. High bid again.

Without waiting for final results, you snap some quick photos of the switchback to avoid any potential sticky conversation, jump on the bike and head up the hill at a brisk pace, catching up before your friends finish the climb.

Later you confirm that both snipes were successful.

You complain about the global supply of a wine shrinking when you’re the ones who shrank the global supply.
