Tomorrow should be quite the tickle.
I had a credit card fraud alert by 10 AM.

What took so long?

Holy schniekies!! We set a Most Users Online record today, the day **before** Berserker Day! Hope the server is all stretched-out and warmed-up for tomorrow!

Double down and go long CD store and drive in movie theaters!

I was just about to complain about not seeing the auctions @ noon . . . and then I remembered that they're not until tomorrow. In all of the excitement of the morning I had forgotten that there are TWO days of this glorious madness. What a Noob!!! It's refreshing to see that someone actually reads ...

Looking for some hot stuff

Hopefully Todd remembered to set the alarm...

Oh, we get feedback. Usually starts like "Hey, you MOTHERF***ERS" [wow.gif] I prefer "FARTFACE." Since you're online... I'd suggest we crowdsource a checklist of things that must be included the Newbie Intros as well as the BD offers themselves. For example, in my opinion all Ne...

Definitely fair points Larry / Rodrigo. I guess all I'm saying is if you want to keep it at 1 day a year, it seems it's hit a point where you'll have to start saying no to a lot of wineries and have some mechanism for deciding who's in / out (assuming it keeps growing). There's nothing wrong with t...

LOL you called it.

coffee dude sighting confirmed

he's the bigfoot of berserkerday

Hello World (of Wine Berserkers)! As a newcomer to the site (just in time for BD12), let me say that I really appreciate Todd posting this list of 10-Year Berserker Day MVPs. As I've now had a week to thoroughly dive into the details of all the Newbie Winemakers/Vendors coming to this year's show, ...

Ridge....

Just my 2 cents to the winemakers... Make your offers easy and simple to understand. In past years, some offers have been verbose. KISS. Keep it simple. You should run your offer through the powers that be here to see if it's written wisely. To new participants, take a look at the offers from last ...

I don't think you need to worry.

PM sent.

where’s the coffee offer? If it's the same supplier as last year, I'm guessing we won't see them until the day before BD We are following up. I was looking at missing offers from years past and the coffee guy was obvious. FYI - just saw that liquid farm posted an offering. Well, there's 9 offerings...

2018 Zin. Tuite said load up and I ignored him

My bad.

Hey Lowell,

Give the grower champagne a try, in general they are more acid driven, fewer big bread notes, and lower residual sugar.

First one! I’m very excited! Here we goooo!!!!! newhere [berserker.gif] welcome to the zoo. [drinkers.gif] My first one too; excited! Does anyone recall if sparklers were offered in the recent past? I didn't see any listed for BD11, but didn't dig deeper than that. champagne.gif Uhh... err.. umm......

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...

That’s the plan Greg. But it’s been an hour now with no change. I’ll keep an open mind. At $20 It was well worth the risk. A very lean style with tons of acidity that is no longer made. Must be the altitude and maybe this is the “Halcon style” for Zin? Poor Todd, he loaded up! [wow.gif] I'll trade ...

This is probably a good time to mention that Wilde Farm has been my best BD Day discovery in the last few years. I hope they participate again this year.

Your wish is our command

Flash sale

the official BD12 apparel is now available. this could be Todd modeling the shirt except the pecs are not big enough LOL

There's a theme to the auctions this year, accidently, but it's 3 Liter - Go Big or Go Home If you every wanted a large format, especially something rare that can't be purchased, then this is your chance. There are at least three 3L bottles in the auction that come straight from the winemaker's priv...

Definitely more cabernet this year and the demand is there. Additionally, we've made an effort over the last few years to recruit Washington state wineries because they bring so much to the game in the way of quality and variety of varietals. (can I say that?) You'll see a big Oregon showing in BD12...

head over to the main berserkerday12 forum

Oh no! The newbies alone have so much stuff I want. I feel like the wine selection is a bit more diversified (or to my liking) this year than last, but maybe it's just me. We've been trying to expand the horizons because WB is diverse. There's room for everyone. I'm working with a burgundy importer...

Newbie introductions are visible here.

Hey everybody- Happy Inauguration Day! I wanted to chime in and say hi. I'm a newbie to the board but have been ITB for 23 years. I run an enology lab and winemaking consulting business up in Woodinville, Washington and I've got my own label called Orr. I'm always looking for wines to drink that ta...

Good Lord, the large format bottles in the auction this year...

Heads are gonna explode.

I should wrap up the the agreement today to offer stellar wines at competitive prices next week from a one owner, wine cabinet storage cellar with lots of wines from the 1970s and 1980's, The owner has close to 20 1982's mostly First and Second Growths, plus other stellar classified growths he purc...

welcome to the zoo.

Help a poor Dane out here. So from reading this forum, i have become very curious about Halcon's Alturas Syrah. I have seen it described as old world in style. But is it something you would guess Northern Rhone Syrah on if you tasted it blind? Or does it just have something that remind you of North...

A highly regarded wine critic offering their personal project on BD12... What?!? Newbie intros should be accessible by Wednesday if todd can get all the cats herded up, wild new stuff, hang tight until they get them polished up. We're working hard on the last few stragglers. They're expecting lots o...

Yup, and I'm no critic of dry farming.
Dry farming in Oregon is like saying you only use artificial lurers in a trout farm.
Lol...it’s plenty dry here in the summer!

I'm from Lake Oswego, I know what I'm talking about!

Last time she needed a quick bottle, she opened a ridge montebello. [swoon.gif] Open to any red varietal really. Thanks! Ouchie. Do you have room to add a small rack for "quick bottle" wines? Quick-bottles are in the dining room. Agers are in the cellar. Opening up a Monte-Bello early is ...

There's a headstone in the middle of the block hence the graveyard designation.

Knocking down a 2013 PN with beer can chicken watching the NFL. Really good stuff

James Mc wrote: ↑January 15th, 2021, 8:56 am So should I not be holding these, but rather enjoying these soon?

Do both. The '18, personally all the RM PN, are very approachable at an early age and because of a friend I've tasted many with age (more the OVS). Pop one for fun, you won't be disappointed.

Sandler Grenache on deck tonight!

Crushed a 2013 Ladd Abigail PN tonight.

Superb wine.
