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

Berserkering is not without risk. Side effects include: Dizziness, Insomnia, Credit Card Fatigue, Side eye, Stink Eye, Cold Shoulder, and Sleeping in the Guest Bedroom. Should you experience any of these symptoms, please see Doctor Loosen. But no side effects of regret have been found in any study ...

Berserkering is not without risk. My biggest problem is finding a fantastic offer, loading my cart only to find out that they don’t ship to my state. A real bummer. I've asked them all to post their shipping restrictions - only one so far has stated she won't do it, as it is 'never a problem'. Hope...

I hope it’s a little easier to understand how it all works on the actual day. Y’all are a terrible influence. On the actual day, it will be pretty self-explanatory. There will be a separate thread for each offer. If you want to take the offer, there may be a link in the post, or it may direct you t...

108 Participants - I had to shut it down. Any winery/company who asks to be part now will need to wait for next year... When do we know who all is participating? The 26th? Yes, you, as GCC will know all the participants on the 26th, and be able to purchase from a couple dozen of them Todd, one thin...

The way I read this:
“...best ham...best price...”

All other Sadies are just imitatin'.

There definitely has been a thread or two on these wines relatively recently.

Yes! 916 represent!

Love this. Definitely on board.

Timed to exactly coincide with Berserker Day.

Whatever you think will be a good match is the answer.

I think you forgot a zero there

LOL any spousal “agreement” on B-Day must have at least a 50% variance clause.

15.8%. Ouch. Ever had a SQN or Saxum or Alban? The number is just a number, my friend . . . Cheers! Absolutely understood. The “ouch“ was really more of an allusion to how I am likely to feel after a couple of glasses of such wine (or the morning after). I don’t dispute that wine can be good at any...

15.8%. Ouch.

Grand Reserve World Mastercard , the credit for wine enthusiasts, is celebrating Berserker Day 2021 by rewarding significant bonus points on all partner and wine merchant purchases made using the card on January 26th & 27th. New cardmembers who sign up before Berserkers Day will earn a 75,000 p...

Ok, folks, I just talked to Matthew about this, and if no ads, Preview Day/Early Purchase Offers, bonus WineBid credit from the last promotion aren't enough for the TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR minimum per year for GCC status, the GCC bonus offer is worth $450, but you can't see it, or get it, without being ...

I use the occasion as an excuse to open wines from past B-Day participants in the couple of weeks leading up to it.
Sandler Grenache on deck tonight!

Bump.

“Funny happy red man“ is gonna end up in the emergency room.

So far successful in my vow to keep my powder dry til the 27th.

Berserkers shop first, ask for forgiveness later.

I heard BevMo's attorney charged full fee for the original suit, but will litigate a second suit for only 5¢.

Noob question (first Berserker Day coming up). When an offer is released do you claim it by replying in the thread or is there a direct link or coupon code posted that you then activate? Are some of these offers capped at a certain number of redemptions? Hi Adam, it just depends. Venture to the Ber...

So probably a dumb question, but "putting together a game plan" = googling (or searching here) every winery that's participating? Or is there more to it than that? You can't Google that. You can look at past years on the Board, but no way to know if those wineries are participating again,...

Excited to be participating for the first time as a Berserker and not a lurker. What’s at the top of everyone’s list of purchases for BD? Obviously no way to know if past wineries will be participating this year. Some memorable buys/discoveries have included: Sandler (always, every year, no-brainer...

Terre Nere Etna Rosso
Bedrock OV
Thivin
Easton Zin... in my neck of the woods, can usually find one with a few years of age. Always delightful.

Pat K wrote: ↑January 1st, 2021, 6:05 pm Thanks for posting. I purchased 12 bottles of Bedrock this year...which is substantial for me. Encouraging.

I’ve been buying for a decade at least. Believe me...you won’t regret going big.

Prepare yourself, check your credit limits, start smoothing things over with the spouse.

Big kudos to Morgan, Chris, and the gang for being named Winery Of The Year!
Can’t possibly say anything about these guys that has not already been said, so I will just say congrats and looking forward to many more fantastic vintages.

Rutherford Bench Cab sounds intriguing, but not sure about wanting to pull the trigger on a wine I won’t even receive for 9+ months, and won’t be drinking for >2 years.

Ken Zinns wrote: ↑December 23rd, 2020, 2:22 pm Harrington Wines will be back this year! Even though Bryan Harrington is no longer making wine, he still has some to sell, and what better way to do that than to participate in BerserkerDay again!

This instantly goes to my top 5 (of those I know, or am reasonably sure, will be participating).

How many people are attending? Are they wine folk?
If you have a few people, and they are so inclined, might be fun to pick two or three different bottles that you think are all plausible, and then do a little “trial“ of sorts.

The libertarian in me loves this.

Wow, if only there was some way to make the ads go away, preferably coupled with a way to get great deals on wine.

Just daily drinkers this time spring. Keeping my powder dry for Berserker Day, which is the real marathon that’s actually worth your time.

K&L has a nice selection. Per their site, they don't ship to VA, but do ship to DC, if delivery there is an option.

Still waiting for my refund from a non-shipment from Spring.

Dude dropping max scores like NBA dunk contest judges.

John always has a berserkerday offering. Zin and Pinot are good too but the syrah can be spectacular.

Exactly. That’s how I got on the Cabot train.

I’m in favor of anything that’s not “natural cork.” It’s 2020, people.

Only a recommendation from Tom could send me on a mission to two geographically disparate Trader Joe’s (unfortunately, without success).
I do recall seeing this on the shelf a while back, but of course I didn’t buy it because, you know, Trader Joe’s. Will keep an eye out and hope to spot it.

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. Which of these wineri...

Can confirm the Viognier is wrapped up tight. Won't touch for another 3-6 months. It does give hints that there's a good wine in there, though.

I think “Octeetotalber” sounds better.
