Well, luckily, Erin, you can just relax today and put your feet up and...oh, wait... pileon LOL, my credit card is still smoldering from yesterday and the release email hits my inbox.

Thank you for hearing my pleas to put the Hanger Steaks on sale again!!! I swear, I've fed half of Washington State with those things (not to mention visitors from Europe and Mexico!) I went deep across the board and will be posting the results, as always, at @AKGrill Bryan & Katie, Congrats Katie!...

I’ve always wanted to try these. In for a six pack. 2 x Fosco 4x Estate

Order in!

Done!

Boom!

Ribeyes and Hangers, 13-1/2lbs of goodness headed my way.

I just re-upped before the holidays. I need to make some paella and use my rice and spices!

Oh, and you're welcome Nola. It's always a joy working with you.

How do I order a mixed 6-pack: Liberté, 1855, and Cru? Unable to add anything to cart.

Order them as individual glasses Then multiply the qty in the cart.

I'm getting sold out on Cru (except for 1 tube). I'm happy to wait for the newer shipment if they're already really sold out, but what do I need to do to get the order in at these prices?

Order as many tubes as you need glasses.

Chris, nothing will load in the cart. I’m getting “that item varient is unavailable” on every selection. Is mineralitie sold out already?

Edit: nevermind, I figured it out.

Nice!

Has anyone opened an ‘11 Saitone lately? I want to do my last one justice.

Their Rosé has always been exceptional.

It’s all good Pat!

2028 Rivers Marie Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir - As advertised, give this a few hours of air then plow through it. Dark garnet, pine needles this year are from Fir trees as this has the nose of a Christmas tree pushing through the fruit. Really tasty from start to finish.

Speaking of Sonoma County. What a waste.

Looking forward to this offer Erin. I miss seeing you at that top Napa wine retail shop every Thursday. Welcome to Berserker Day!

Thank you. Well done. I understand that some areas of the "true" Sonoma Coast are difficult or time consuming to visit. Hirsch Vineyards is one that comes to mind. Once there, however, it is supposed to be incredibly beautiful. (Plus for me, being a fan of Hirsch wines, it may be worth the time nee...

Looking forward to a Berserker Day offer!

Butternut Squash, Parsnip, Sweet Potato Soup.

2014 Halcón Tierra while watching football yesterday. Nearly polished off the entire bottle by myself. This was so good. Big and bold like you expect a PS to be but packed with lip smacking acidity.

It’s like searching for the perfect mate. Stop searching, it will happen organically.

Let's use a 1 point scale.

0 - I wouldn't drink.
1 - I would drink.

0 - I wouldn’t drink it
2 - I would drink it
3 - I would buy it
4 - I would buy it again
5 - I would cellar it as a birth year wine for my child

I think all wine should be evaluated using the binary system. I like it or I don't like it. Of course, you can then expound on why you like it or you don't like it if you care to.

+1, it’s outliers looking for acceptance. If it’s not good then setting different standards will not make it better.

Just wanted to let you know - if you’re referring to the 2018 release, they don’t ship until October.
Ah you're correct, I pick up in person, never have shipped.

They don’t bottle til late June or July so...

Not sure how many were available when you tried to access, I secured 4 each of the 750ml (out of 6 offered) @ around 2pm EST when they relaunched yesterday. When I logged back in shortly (30mins or so), the remaining 2 I was offered had disappeared. So they must have had a sliding scale lowering th...

Alright, folks. I wrongly chose not to use the Durand to remove a cork from a 2006 Musar to decant prior to a tasting today (as an aside, CellarTracker notes seem to suggest that it’s ready to drink without decant, but I didn’t get that impression upon initial taste and elected to decant for a whil...

i got $265 which I will round up to $300, add $125 in other donations and we added $425 to the coffers for the displaced mechanics. Thanks guys and gals!

Yikes! Pruning our fruit trees is on the short list ths month. Thanks for the heads up and glad to hear you got through this without serious damage.

I’ve had it, I was driving by and there were no cars in the parking lot and 2 people in line inside. Knowing that I would not wait in a longer line. It’s a fine sandwich but no sandwich is worth driving or waiting 1/2 hour for.

Lots of friends and family over from Christmas to New Years. Consumed many wines and some fit into Brian's "category".

I would give it an American pronunciation not Faux French " quiv ett " ?

I guess we need to figure out if this is The “How do you pronounce this?” thread or The “How do YOU pronounce this?” thread.

Last night for mine, come in strong with some sparklers!!!!

Shared tasting rooms don’t work. They've tried them all over Napa and most are shuttered. For me they’re the equivalent of going to an industry tasting, there still has to be at least one shared employee on site, rent, permits, travel time... For the small farmer/producer the ability to host guests ...

I love how I can grab nearly any Jolie-Laide wine, regardless of vintage or variety and be assured that when I pop the cork it’s going to deliver. Great labels too, different each variety each vintage. Hipster checklist: Young winemaker Artsy label Non-mainstream variety Alcohol 12% Synthetic cork 2...

Found the producer in the late 2000s at San Francisco's Arlequin Wine store when they were pouring some of the wines for a tasting. Started buying their wines again recently and this one is certainly a winner. 13.5% alc, "natural", 98% Cinsault (2% syrah), from the Sierra Foothills in CA. I think i...

Low and slow Flannery Tenderloin. Finished off in a hot cast iron pan with brown butter and Thyme.

So far for tonight I have a 2012 Random Wine Co Columbia Valley Petit Verdot stood up. Need to look for mre stuff.

If you can explain what a hipster wine is, I will see if we can polish off a few off today. I want to come back with a smart ass response just because, but in the spirit of Christmas I’ll read the OP back to you: “Hipster Wines - Still or Sparkling, red, pink, white.
