That may be a flaw with google forms, unfortunately. Thanks for the workaround. Always glad when Berserkers give 110%.

I really liked the charitable component of this BD. I hope we can find a way to incorporate it again in the future as with the raffle.

Also, it would be cool to see offerings across multiple producers (e.g., pinots from WV), perhaps as auction items. I know that's likely hard to pull together, but would have a draw for people that want a survey of a region as opposed to diving into a single producer. Not sure if this has been done in the past.

It would be a great draw but not sure if it is legal.

Fixed. Added a zero option. (This means the data might not get accepted to Nature, but I’ll have to live with that.)

I did buy some food.

Fair enough!

Great responses rolling in - Thanks and keep them coming.

Are there products you wish were featured? Small producers you would like to encourage to participate? We’re always looking to improve but keep the berserker culture the core of the day.

#60 Post by **Gil Hantzsch** » February 3rd, 2022, 9:55 am

Done as well. Is there a similar survey taken of the participating businesses? Would be interesting to see their perspective as a group. I think we all genuinely hope that this event is viewed as win-win for all. Thanks again!

Chocolate.

I was going to say more but I felt the mike dropping from my hands after I wrote that.

I would have loved to see Jasper Hill Farms back, after they participated in the Newbie Palooza.

Yep we survey the sellers and ask what worked and didn’t. Can’y wait to see their thoughts too.

Chocolate would be wonderful - I was just ordering from my favorite chocolatier - L A Burdick - we used to live near their first shop and go for astonishing cocoa on snow days.

Cheese would be great - agreed. Too bad Jasper didn’t chose to jump back in.

We should all be grateful for the ♾% efforts you, Siun, BD council, Todd, Brig, et al, put forth to make it happen.
I will say that the number of offers were overwhelming, during my postmortem review of offers I miss, I think I see offers that weren’t there during BD!

In case anyone else hits this - I got stuck in an endless loop, where clicking "Next" just took me back to the same page over and over. What fixed it was clicking "Back", then "Next" again.

Done. Awesome first Berserker Day experience all around!

#69 Post by **P Turk** » February 3rd, 2022, 3:58 pm

Done! Lots of Cali Cab offers this time. Some more Syrah and GSM offers for BD14 . . . just one person's $0.02.

What options/questions do you have?

Wasn’t a criticism. The raffle seemed very successful so I thought y’all might want to know the why.

Off top of my head.
- Did you bid on an auction item?
- if not, why?
- Did you buy a raffle?
- if so, how many?
- if so, what was the biggest motivator? Baller bottle? Gift cards? Charity?
- did you watch the raffle reveal?
- what’s your preferred medium for livestream? Twitch? Instagram? Facebook? YouTube?

There were plenty of them - just had to do a bit more searching. And that is probably how it will always be.

I agree on the chocolate idea.

I'd say my only (minor) complaint for this year is that there were no Morgan Ranch offers without ground beef. Not sure what I'll do with it as I don't like wagyu in burgers.

I actually miss the waygu sliders Flannery used to do.

Fini.

Already looking forward to BD XIV!

February 5th, 2022, 1:27 pm

Done!

I love seeing the final sales tally/statistics - did I miss it or still in the works? Todd, let me know if you need some help number crunching/summarizing data. I’m somewhat of a spreadsheet jockey

February 5th, 2022, 7:11 pm

Thanks Molly. I think we’re still collecting numbers from a few sellers - Todd handles those since even the council diesn’t see actual sales numbers for each seller - we just get the total. But spreadsheet help is a great offer - thanks! I think we’re set atm but we’ll be doing more!

I like both of these ideas. there are so many times when its like, oh well I really want something from Patricia Green AND Kelley Fox, and theyre so close to each other geographically! cant we just get a single offer from them?? lol

my biggest suggestion is that I think that the Monopole offers should be visible to everyone but only purchasable for Monopole. I bet there would be new Monopole subscribers just based on FOMO. plus, sometimes its fun to live vicariously.

M.Kaplan wrote: ↑February 2nd, 2022, 2:56 pm I answered the survey questions, but I doubt that the offerings will change much; every year they seem to be the same types of middle of the road domestic wines that are uninteresting to those of us who prefer to drink and buy old world wines.

We did add Ansonia Wines this year. Finding old world wines for BerserkerDay has always been a challenge. I'd also like to see more old world stuff. Please PM me if you have some suggestions.

Cabot (from Humboldt County) makes some terrific Syrah but thanks to the fires, they did not have any wine to sell this year.

Please PM me if there are any specific Syrah / GSM producers you'd like to see.

Done! Agree that chocolate would be a great addition. Although I didn’t buy much this year due to space constraints, I greatly enjoyed participating and reading along. I lived vicariously through others’ purchases.

No problem. I've read about them on this board over the years. Hopefully I can figure out a way to get an introduction.
