Did you get your BD13 bottles yet? Yay/Nay/Meh?

[Sharad S.]

Got the Riverain '19 Cab, tasted it last night. Young but so delicious, enough power and great balance!

[Jason K.]

Still waiting for wine from Suzor. Got the email from Greg on 3/26 but nothing since. Anyone receive theirs yet?

Edit: just got notice it's on the way

[Vic G]

Does anyone know the timeline for grassl?

I believe Chris said June.

[AndrewH]

Anyone got their Ladd Cellars order yet?

I have not . . . they've always been the last BD order I receive . . .

[edited} but on their way!

[Scott Brunson]

Matello MC library pack today.

[Nate Simon]

Suzor incoming this week and that should be everything.

I have never had this many issues getting wine shipped from Berserker Day. Has anyone had deliveries from Chiron? They won't respond to emails.

Yes, I got both Chiron and Black Powder a while ago. Sorry to hear your issues, they've been really responsive to me.

Reach out to @Bobby Moy and he will help you out. They were holding mine for temp reasons and was able to arrange delivery. And they are great! The BP Oakville is great, even this young.

[MikeHill]

While I wait for Ladd, drinking the 2017 Chardonnay now.

PNP. Delicious. Lemon peel, bright, ripe fruit, balanced with good minerality, just a hint of oak helps round out the mouthfeel. Long, tart finish. Bravo!

Got our Tercero rose six pack last week - just in time, too, because our weather is warming up fast!

Ladd arrived last Friday.

Brief shoutout to Emily Richter for Virage. I was cooking some Morgan Ranch ribeyes and a strip and wanted to pop a Napa Cab. I had a 2012 sitting there staring at me from B-Day. What a lovely wine. Not overly wrought, not too big, but lovely complexity with black and red fruit, a nice savory element, perfectly integrated soft oak spice notes, and nice structure. It will age gracefully for another decade, but was just what I was looking for with the steaks (reverse sear to dead on medium rare) with really nice fruit still the showcase, but with that edge of savory and structure present.

I can't help but enjoy Virage and think that this is how cabs were structured when I first got into wine in the mid-late 90s vintages, back when a Laube 92 was high praise.

Curious on this too.

Well, we loved the ones we got from you last year, so I expect these will be wonderful also! Will update when we open them up.

I think one Grassl shipment is supposed to arrive soon, and the other shipment sometime over the summer.

Got mine a week or so ago. Already popped a Mourvèdre Rosé. Delicious. Very traditional rosé. Great summer wine.

Best compliment ever! Funny, last night, I finally finished all my BerserkerDay Quickbooks data entry (note to self: make discount structure less complicated next year, please!!), reconciled the bank accounts, yay, and to celebrate meeting the Q1 sales tax deadline (I know, I need to get a life), I secured myself a tri-tip dinner paired with 2012 Virage. So good, I had to scold myself for ever thinking this wine wouldn't age well. I think I had a bottle that was 'cooked' or something, it seemed closer to the end of it's drinking window, hence all the notes in your shipments that said, "Drink 12 first." Although I do think the 10 and 11 may outlive it, this is splitting hairs. I now struggle to choose a favorite among 10-11-12.

Had one of the Cinsault Roses the other day - can already predict these won't last through the summer!

Still haven't gotten my Ladd order in

The Sun Break wines didn't last long and we enjoyed the whole lineup. Their Vermouth blew me away - and never bothered to even make a cocktail with it since it was excellent on the rocks.

Popped open some of the Franny Beck wines recently and I am very impressed so far. Had no expectations when we opened the Pinot Noir En noir et blanc and the best way I describe that wine in one word is "happy".

Been slowly tying out the Red Newt wines - I found the dry and semi-sweet Rieslings to be the ones I enjoyed the most. The Cab Franc was not what I was expecting, felt more like a warm day by the lake type of wine than a burger wine. My view on inexpensive FL wines have changed for the better after trying these.

Overall I can say the BD13 purchases I made were a very positive Yay!

[Peter Shurman]

Received all with one exception ... 6 bottles of Paetra Pinot Blanc.

[S.R. Stone]

Have not received my Ladd order, just sent another inquiry.
All others arrived. I particularly enjoyed the Cadence wines, and the extra club discount on the Big Basin bottles.

[whitmanlholt]

Anyone heard anything about the Grassl glasses? I emailed CJF for an update (was last told late Feb-March as an ETA), but haven't heard back yet. Curious if anyone else has any insight into the timing. Thanks.

[Diana E.]

The only one I'm lacking as well. Sent an email a week or so ago, no response. Hope all is well.

New finds from BD, Shiba Wichern (very nice sparkling, the Auxerrois is lovely) and Sun Break (love the Vermouth and some Rose we ordered after). Letting all the reds sit for now.

[Evan K]

Coincidentally, I reached out to them yesterday. Here's what I heard back this morning:

Cargo is being delivered this afternoon to our warehouse after the journey by water, rail, two semis and two warehouses. We are expected to shipping the May 23rd.

The VYCE giveaway will include 2 Wine Tumblers and 2 Rock Tumblers. Due to issues going on in Eastern Europe, production of the VYCE glassware has been delayed on these glasses so we will be sending these later in the year. An email blast will go out with more details shortly.

Assuming you were in the first tranche of orders, seems like they'll be delivered next week.

[whitmanlholt]

Thanks, Evan. I got a similar response from CJF, so seems like everything is moving along. I imagine there have been supply chain issues for the glasses, like for so many other things lately.

[Marshall Manning]

Still haven't gotten my Ladd order in

Has anyone received their Ladd order? Eric had said he was going to ship it a month or so ago and I never received it. I've tried emailing him, but got no response.

My Grassl glasses arrived yesterday (sans Tumblers).

I did get my order a few weeks back. It did take a couple of back and forths, but everything worked out. If I remember this was a late arrival last year as well. IMHO the wines are worth it, so stick with it!

Thanks, I heard from him today, and it was just an order error in his system.
