Thank you for playing!!! In order to qualify for Gift Prizes you must be 21 years old or older.

The way I envision this is that people go to Linda’s Go fund me page and donate $200 and in a memo put Wine Berserkers Raffle. If they want 2 tickets, they’ll put $400 and so on, all with the Memo saying Wine Berserkers Raffle so that we will know. This way funds will become available to Linda as soon as possible. We will have the list here, and we will assign the number next to their name, we’ll cap this at 75 tickets and we’ll do the drawing a week from now, Saturday the 23rd the latest if we need to wait for few more.

Le Voyage is the pinnacle of Delamain’s product range. This is the ultimate product for the Cognac Connoisseur, with only 500 available worldwide.This one-of-a-kind Cognac comes in its own Baccarat crystal decanter, within a luxury leather gift box.

These cognacs, some approaching the centenary of their distillation, sleep peacefully in glass demi-johns in the cellars of Delamain. They represent a living archive of the house, inviting you on a voyage of discovery through, and facilitated by, the craftsmanship and passion of the present and past cellar masters of Delamain

Le Voyage unfolds a kaleidoscope of subtle sensations: all the perfumes of Russian leather, the musky aroma of the tropics, the heady scent of tobacco from the Americas, of coffee from Africa heralding the spicy hints of the Far East and finally the bouquet of grapes from the hillsides of the Grande Champagne.

Leo,

That’s awesome.

Vhala (thank you).

For $8,100 they couldn’t fill the bottle?

Outstanding, Leo. Out of my ballpark.

Bravo dood! But if I may, the audience here might be a bit limited for the value this should get. Might I suggest you look to consign the cognac at auction or retail (explaining the reasoning behind the consignment in order to get past the “minimum” hurdle)?

I’m open to all suggestion and maybe somebody knows somebody who knows somebody who would be interested, I’ll listen to all reasonable offers or ideas. I also think that time is of an essence here so it can’t be something that will drag on forever.

We have some auction folks on WB, of course, but Leo’s right - the timing is a little essential here…and an auction wouldn’t be timely

I wish I had the money to buy this. I should have gone into a different profession

Leo. You are such a good guy to do this. Great cognac.

cjsavino had a GREAT idea…a raffle!!! With tickets at $200 per, we’d need only 40 tickets sold to get $8k, and that would give 40 people who likely otherwise wouldn’t have a shot at buying something like this an opportunity to do so!

Thoughts???

+1
Make the raffle contingent on at least 40 people.

That’s a great idea! How do we go about?

I’m in if you’re taking a straw poll to gauge interest.

I would be in too

I will buy a raffle ticket. Every time I go to Gofundme something gets screwed up so at least this will work.
