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

Delete your details, unless you wish hassles. What details exactly? My situation is pretty much the same as the other 800K people living in this part of Indiana. Probably the crossing of state borders part (hypothetically circumventing your home states rightfully earned sales tax collections?)

Alex, please check your PM’s.

Did it sell?

I connected with Alex on a different matter, think he’s just been incredibly busy in his personal life. No idea on the Eurocave.

Good Lord, a friend of mine just bought 4 bottles total (2 2-packs) and the shipping, to So Cal via ground, was $84. That is the most expensive shipping I have ever seen. Over $20 per bottle. Are they sent in OWC? The cases are cool. Never seen them, but imagine OWC shipping costs a lot more to pac...

Anyone heard from Alex in a few weeks?

Just received an email that Ridge is bringing back Evangelho - I'm intrigued for sure
It's mostly Carignan & Mataro, so I'll probably pass. Still.....

Actually a positive for me as D&R and Desire Lines produce my current favorite expressions of Evangelho!

Such an easy buy given producer vineyard and vintage mix

2018 Ridge Evangelho...a welcome surprise in my inbox

Jumping on the band wagon with everyone else, while there are other allocations I would love receive, there are only 2 California Cabs: Macdonald Screaming Eagle Would like to add one other, only because I know nothing about it....other than I am not supposed to know anything about it...not sure if...

Was watching some champagne lots and all that I was tracking went well above estimate. Hopefully catch some mixed lots tomorrow.

Not to worry... some wine influencer will start posting on Instagram about drinking old Martha’s, and then it will fly off the shelves!
Just look back a few days
Don’t explain the joke.

Can’t increase current release pricing without increasing library release pricing

Roy, what do you think are some of the other plots that are “as good as Macdonald” but not recognized because they are blended? Oh boy, don't get me started.... A few spots in Mondavi ToKalon are very close, but I am not sure how well they manage that, sometimes. I-Block, which makes the great Sauv...

2018 Desire Lines Evangelho Carignan...absolutely delicious in that beautifully mixed berry fruit way carignan can be

Believe I saw some on a Cellaraiders email today if you wanted to go that route

I did miss that in my excitement to order, but the label imagery is beautiful so that’s very exciting.

Mixed case for me

Seconded

Really wonderful, fresh takes on Shake Ridge and Evangelho. Also really awesome people.

Who sniped the 86 VCC from Benchmark?

I signed up for Ultramarine in September 2018. Got an email today saying that there is an allocation for me tomorrow. Not sure how complete it will be but I'm happy with 2 years! Interesting. I signed up in October 2016 and didn't get an offer. I got the update/dosage trial email back in June but t...

Received the below email today, thought it was worth sharing. Seem's like a great research project to try to quantify/document something that a lot of us already believe as fact. Hopefully can help with possibly gaining some Public Funds to assist the HVS's mission going forward. Full Disclosure, I ...

For those confused why they don’t have an offer like me, I emailed and they got back very quickly. It looks like their system said I got an offer and passed last year even though I had the “sorry no allocation” email...Jenn has been kind enough to make sure I’m included tomorrow. Nice man! Gotta ap...

I demand an inquiry!!

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Michael Cruse on here that I can remember but would love to know. If nothing by tonight may ask via email...if someone else beats me to it, let me know!

Wait...is this live? I see the wines on the website but it says I have no allocation...which doesn't make sense to me given multiple purchases in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Two tiered release. Believe general release is midweek.

I'm also a newbie when it comes to D&R. If not for berserkers, I would have no idea. They seem to be in the vein of Carlisle and Bedrock. Is that right? If I was going to hunt down some of their wines to see what they are about, what should I look for? Personally? No, they are not in the same vein ...

In for 16 total, with the Wear a Mask red still to ship with them.

Anyone open an 18 Legends yet?

Add Evangelho to the list...shaping up to be a really good one

Sandlands has to be a couple out right?

Had my sister sign up before the Spring release and she made the leftover offering then, with an actual offering on the recent one (though not many wines available)

Kinsman is already on a waitlist I believe

Original release or new LD release?

These are a couple I've read. I've also read the (better) 2nd edition of Lermouth's NoRho book. The newest 3rd edition is still available on Amazon (I have not read that yet) https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=136278&p=2182431 https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php...

Barbera offline!

Not reading the thread, but in case no one has previously posted the exact date, I am pleased to announce that in honor of the fact that I might have been the second person on the MacDonald list (Dentice was first but we were only minutes apart), this year the offer will be released on my auspiciou...

I thought Bedrock ripped out its Barbera and replanted it to other varieties...

It was from Shake Ridge

Didn’t realize Ultramarine and Macdonald were so quick
They aren’t
I see. What is it really?

No idea, just know I’ve been on both >2 years. Imagine MacDonald is approaching double digits at least, no idea on UM, maybe if someone has a first time allocation tomorrow they can chime in

Bedrock Barbera was part of a blend. Just re-looked at my emails, and the email for the supplemental release this year implies that the 2017 Shake Ridge Barbera was 100%...maybe I missed something in Morgan’s notes here around the release Or maybe you forgot your CT note. neener Sometimes the notes...

A handful of NV Ledru Brut and Extra Brut bottlings

Didn’t see a thread yet, but the D&R release kicks off next week.

So far confirmed:

2019 Chenin Blanc
2019 Zinfandel

Expected:

2019 Barbera
.....?

Some really cool stuff going to be available, albeit in semi-limited quantities.

Jean Edwards is right around the corner, and Three Sticks is on the other side of the square and worth a visit. I also really enjoyed a stop at Bump Cellars.

Same...only $20 and always happy to have more 375 bubbly
