I don’t think of it as a subscription push. Monopole Crü has special offers scattered throughout the year. That’s the real value of it, not just BerserkerDay.
BTW, the price wasn’t discounted it was just the opportunity to purchase unique bottlings that were in too small of quantities to offer up to everyone.
Eying a move in the spring so had to keep purchases to a minimum this year, but still couldn’t resist grabbing a case of Sabelli Frisch and a few pounds of ribeye from Flannery.
Auctions start at 2pm, close at 8:00pm PST / 11:00pm EST on January 26th.
Bids need to be in by 7:59:59pm PST. Each post has a time stamp by the forum software.
There are 2 other snipers that have 8pm timestamps too. Sorry… Must be in before 8pm
Walter Scott 6 pack
Goodfellow - case. 6 pack of single vineyard pinot , 6 pack of mixed
Vincent - case. 6 of chard, 6 of pinot
Ansonia - case - 6 of Chablis - 6 of Gros red burgundy…
Unfortunately, the rules from the old software made their way over here, when it was a manual process to shut down the auctions, now, the computer automatically shuts them down and fixed absolute time so in the future we are going to just have the final bid before the computer shots it down be the last one, rather than looking at timestamps with milliseconds.
Because Brig wrote that in the rules, it’s only fair to abide by them this time.
I was really busy with work this week so that prevented me from getting out of control. But I did snag:
6 x JB Neufeld
6 x Ansonia - Champagne mix
6 x Tekstura (new to me) - had to try that Albarino based on the note posted here
Morgan Ranch (new to me) - small box/pack
Biggest regret - Violin - I didn’t understand if they were actually sold out by the time I got online and didn’t have the time to figure it out. Onto next year’s wish list they go!
I saved space in my cellar buy over-purchasing from Flannery red meat and Veleta oil and vinegar. I forgot Dick’s potato chips but maybe I can still grab them. It takes some of the edge off the three cases of wine I bought.
AND I have a different problem. My wife has discovered how to order wine on Berserkerday and she loves zin, so in addition to what I bought, she ordered the Cabot aged zin package. BUT she used her credit card!
