BerserkerDay 12 Master Thread/FAQ

[Mattstolz]

It’s a good year to be a member of Grand Cru Crü, folks, as we’re putting together GCC-only offers/discounts, plus one particular bonus (at least, thus far) from one of our participants. ONLY for GCC, baby

It wasn’t GCC only last year, but we sold 95% of the berserker Chardonnay on the 26th.

GCC is well worth it, just to support the site, but there’s a ton of perks.

if it happens again, im here to say Goodfellow’s Berserker Cuvees are not to be missed. I have loved them all so far.

Well, TECHNICALLY, Marcus, it was supposed to be only GCC…you aren’t supposed to take orders from non-GCC Berserkers on Preview/Early Purchase day

Didn’t mean to be confusing.

The sales on the 26th were to GCC only. And that took care of 95% of the barrel of Berserker Chardonnay.

So it was GCC only on the 26th, but 2-3 people picked up the last bottles on the 27th.

We know, and follow, the rules!

Thanks Matt, we’ve made it a point to try and overdeliver on the Berserker wines.

We’re working on the BD12 packages right now, and we have a great prospect for a pair of Berserker wines.

Red Electric is back in this year!
We’ll even have a Chardonnay offer (saving some for BD).
details to follow…

For newbies…If you get your spend going a bit, expect a call(s) from your bank concerning fraudulent purchases.

I may call my bank in advance to give them a heads-up…

Dude, by now your bank should be calling you in advance on the 27th

They did…on the 26th!!

Harrington Wines will be back this year! Even though Bryan Harrington is no longer making wine, he still has some to sell, and what better way to do that than to participate in BerserkerDay again!

Sad to see Bryan no longer making wine. Loved all his wines, especially the Corvina. Really unique expression of the grape. One more to add to the list of BD purchases

This instantly goes to my top 5 (of those I know, or am reasonably sure, will be participating).

Sage advice and yes, listen to this man. That can be a yearly thing. My personal best was 3 credit cards contacting me with a WTF

Side note, if you plan to go Berserk, use a card that gives you points or cash back, gaming them like I do to max value. Some cards are better at this than others, and/or have maximums to navigate with a good strategy. Its a consolation prize when the bill comes in and your wife looks at you, again, with WTF.

This year’s big ‘feature’ will be a big handful of recommended/member-suggested wineries that have never-before participated - prepare to spend more than you ever have!

I like this and it feels like a good thing. New wineries/producers/participants I always feel are in a tough spot. The sponsors are the sponsors, that has its privileges and it’s fair. Then there are the forum darlings that draw attention because there’s a track record/history that’s respected and that’s fair (usually overlaps with sponsors). for me, year over year there’s always a tranche I just don’t know; so having some measure of the “been around the block” members recommending why its a buy to them would help. Should be linked/attached to the producer/offer or somehow represented such that its easy to connect the dots.

This helps break the ice and builds the base more. Win/win.

I may have taken a day or two off work so I can properly research…

I joined as I was researching wine fridges, and I had no idea about Berserker Day. But now I think I’m at least going to have to buy some Grassl glasses (which I have also been reading about here). This site might have been a dangerous discovery!

[S_Rash]

I’m excited! This will be my first Berserker Day

Welcome to the monkey house

[Michael_Martin]

There are wines I was introduced to on BD that are now staples in our house so the cost of BD just keeps on giving and giving.

Prepare yourself, check your credit limits, start smoothing things over with the spouse.

“Honey, I’m not buying any wine at all January through March… except this thing on this one day…”

[Brian_S_t_o_t_t_e_r]

My wife is already excited for our Flannery reload.

[Michael_O_Brien]

Too bad wine purchases don’t qualify for multiples on any card I have - 3x or 4x would be nice.
