Wine Berserkers - international wine social media, online community, and discussion

I can't find your ordering page.

Matt - remember these are Berserker Day intros so while you can obviously buy in advance if you want (and if they have available wine), they will be presenting an special offer (usually with a discount) on BD.

Just looking at your web pages and .. so glad you are participating in BD!

Great selection of newcomers ... already have notes!

Was just reading Erica’s BD Newbie intro ... welcome aboard! And Yes to Happy Inauguration Day!

And personally I have never found a wine gendered.

Btw, Kathryn ... I always enjoy the “lady” term so long as we don’t insist on ladylike behavior or thoughts.

Hmmm ... haven’t opened any of my Lioco’s in ages. I have really enjoyed their wines.

And the wines are great under those screwtops.

That was a lovely tribute Jeff - thank you for sharing it with us.

Joining the thanks to Nola for asking and especially to Chloe for reaching out to us here. Donation made. Grateful there is a way to honor him by helping others.

So very sad. Please let us know if there is any way to express our condolences or help family.

I have oh so many stories from my dating days when a man (always a man, women never pulled this), knowing that I was "into" wine, would bring something or order something he was sure would impress me, or even start spouting off a completely mistaken wine lecture. It rarely worked out. Yep!

I find the comments from other Berserkers the best “research” and the ohwhathehell purchases I’ve made each BD some of my lasting favorites! Don’t overthink but I definitely look first to the wineries that are part of our community — and happily they are some of the very best on offer.

If a winery is looking for someone to handle part time customer service and social media as described above, let’s talk!

I may need to start baking again ... these both sound so tasty

Vosges Chocolates does this as well and also does a whiskey collection ...I'e never tried the pairings though I have had wine and some chocolates at their shop.

Neuhaus can be mighty tasty!

SMH Veleta!!!

Not a cookbook but if she has not read Ruth Reichl’s autobiographic books, she might enjoy them ... they are fascinating and take you inside the food world in a very special way.

Velveta Sherry Vinegar from Nola on Berserker Day ... delish!

Larry ... is there a way to test it out? Have two offers and see which gets the best response? Not sure if that’s practical at a less than high volume site. Otherwise go for it but please include an explanation. I may be wrong on this (though I’ve done marketing and user experience work for way too ...

Had a family issue pop up ... would love to see a recording and look forward to more. Thanks!

Jay! Hoping for fast and easy healing!

My fave veggie dish has a pie crust so it’s out ....

Seeing a favorite wine on the restaurant list makes me rate the restaurant more highly ... seeing Dirty and Rowdy on the list at The Kitchen in Chicago contributed a lot to making me a regular in their early days. In return, The Kitchen introduced me to Scholium and Lioco. Seems like a good collabor...

You’d likely be more accurate to say “most in this thread way overbought” rather than “of this board.”

Now if you wanted to say “most of this board is getting ready to way overbuy on Berserker Day” you might be right.

This sounds so good!

Funny, none of the Berserker women ever have these issues.

Sounds like a good afternoon event ... Thanks! Request sent.

Good to know know Flannery will debone it and tie it back it, but I like to buy them bone-in and o the work myself. While the folks at Flannery are probably better at butchering than me, I enjoy breaking meat down and more opportunities to practice and improve is always better. Not sure if you saw ...

Yesterday I was waiting on my Ultramarine. Received a text message from FedEx stating my wine delivered 10 minutes prior, no knock and said delivery was signed for by me. I go to my door and no box? I call FedEx and it took a few minutes for someone to answer and just as I stated to explain that no...

Hmmm .... Each Berserker will have their own favorites as Nate says... check the thread about "anyone drinking their Berserker Day wines?" for good tips that may align with your tastes. A big part of the fun is the discovery of unexpected gems. Not just wine: Flannery Beef always has a goo...

No idea if he will participate - I don't think he has in the past, even with his meat company. Don't miss the chance to buy direct from the actual vineyards - these are mostly small producers, often ones you might not otherwise have access to outside of their allocation lists. These are not bulk win...

I have not been asked to sign for any package - including alcohol - since April. At my previous apartment, the UPS driver knew me and was very reliable and always just put the box inside the front hallway. But UPS has hired extra people who have claimed deliveries that never happened - and I've had ...

I'm new here, but I have seen reference to berserker days...is it a value or rarity opportunity? Or both? Not only do I have enough - more than enough - wine. Still need to save some room for berserker days. Only a month away! There’s tons of good information on Berserker Day on the board - here’s ...

Argh ... missed it. Next time!

Craig - so sorry she is dealing with MS. The train would likely be a great option.

I took it from Whistler back to Vancouver about ten years ago and it was awesome. Whistler was a client of our sustainability software and consulting and we usually took the bus up and back hen we went up for meetings but one trip, I made a great executive decision and booked us the first class tick...

Thanks Betty! I will add some to my little Chang fans package for the chef kids ...

PSA - Momofuku Chili Crisp is back in stock. Their Tamari is not ... sigh.

That’s quite a cake!

Are you asking me if my reply is spam? I thought i was asking a legitimate question... I feel intimidated by this forum because even the into/ wine 101 , people know so much and I'm trying to decide how to approach/ learning about wine. Some of these posts are discouraging when literally a beginner...

Cruse Tradition - available direct. The Cruse sparklers are real pleasures - and so affordable, you could celebrate with a magnum!

Likes are a handy shorthand, counts of likes and similar ratings not so much.

Hire someone who actually knows the business.

Sounds good

Great

More chocolate but always super well received - any of the pastries from L A Burdick Chocolate - all are superb and the best gift is a pair of their hot chocolate cups and one or more of their amazing cocoas - https://www.burdickchocolate.com/ and https://www.burdickchocolate.com/cup-and-saucer-set...

Just ordered a selection of Momofuku salts and soy sauce plus David Chang’s book from Momofuku ... should be well received by my crew.

David .... Here’s Emily’s note about the loss of her home (and personal cellar) during the Glass fire - Todd organized a great quick special sale with Emily for WB folks to help out. I don’t know her current plans but she is really quite amazing ... and her Rose is so delicious! I had picked up a ca...

There’s another recent thread with food gift ideas - you might want to take a look there too.

Cody at Desire Lines is making one of the best California Rieslings from the Cole Ranch AVA. I love Desire Lines’ Rieslings ... just really fine. I also really enjoy Bill Hooper’s Paetra offerings and Bedrock’s Wirz Old Vines Riesling. I don’t have experience with the aged, classic German bottles b...

I’m always suspicious when someone does a drive by ... commenting for the first time ever solely to promote a specific product and in this case, to insult a valued member of our community who a few years ago attempted to learn more about this new item at Costco for us. All of us who appreciate artis...
