I am posting here for my annual Veleta Donation! Todd hope you can use a donations of a 3 pack with Veleta Vijiriega, Veleta Tempranillo Rose’, and a Tempranillo Joven. Another 3 pack of reserva reds, Veleta Nolados, Veleta Cabernet Sauvignon and Veleta Tempranillo. And lastly a pack with Veleta Brut Rose, Veleta EVOO made with the rare Lechin de Granada olives from our farm, Veleta 7 year aged Sherry Vinegar (a key ingredient in authentic Spanish culinary kitchens), Veleta Baby Sardines, and Veleta White Tuna, both packed in Olive Oil.

I haven’t seen many other donors posting so I hope I am posting this in the correct place. Would love to see who else is donating for Berserker Day IV!!

forget the donation, just let me buy all the sardines now !!!

We’re around 40 offers at present, and I’ve yet to get finals on at least a dozen more. I expect we’ll have another 60 or so this time, as we had last time.

Be sure to tell your wine-loving friends about BerserkerDay as well - only adds to the fun!

I’ll start a thread over on cellartracker forum for BD IV.

[ToddFrench]

I didn’t count how many offers we’ve got, but there are so far 50 wineries/retailers participating.

A few forum favorites have not yet confirmed - we’ll have those soon!

Happy to announce that Storyteller Wine Company and Ayres Vineyard will be participating with a joint venture (no jokes Mr. Wood). Brad McLreoy and I put our heads together (again, no jokes Mr. Wood) and came up with a rather unique offer. Can’t wait until Berserker Day!

I just saw that over there, Brig. If you are not a publicist by trade, you should be. Awesome post.

This is very exciting! I can’t wait to hear about it.

Thanks Merrill, just doing my share!

Todd, is the BD IV forum visible to guests and non donors?

I’m sending new people over here.

Yes. Normally I have it setup to be seen only by members, but want to give the lurkers a shot this year, see how it goes

Donors will still get a sneak preview, and this year, some wineries are giving special deals to Donors (i.e. free shipping!) which is REALLY cool!! I love the idea - it’s not mine - and I hope other wineries will give it a try as well.

What time does the magic start?

@Dan Rinke

What time does the magic start?

Whenever Todd gets back from the Motel 6 in El Monte.

Excited about Ayres. Solid pinot, and great winemaker /owner.

This Donor will be setting up a trade show on Saturday, followed by the show itself. Wanna guess when the show starts? Yep. January 27th.
Looks like I’m going to save some dough.

If you want to read between the lines… feel free to PM me with temptation.

Well, at least ONE of the deals will be open a day before - that’s also just for the Donors…

Nah, plonk. <Hi Brad, hi Kathleen, Hi Don. Just messin’ witcha 'cuz you know I love your wines and all of you.>

[ToddFrench]

Just FYI…

If you are ITB and still haven’t submitted your offer, I MAY not have a chance to get to you in time. I’ve got a super busy week the rest of this week, so if you want to be super last minute (provided I haven’t already talked with you and reserved ‘space’ for you), PM the BerserkerDay Committee (it’s one of the groups in the Private Message function) and ask them to include you.

Note also that unless the deal is good, we may turn it down.

[Merrill_Lindquist]

Todd - some wineries might have licensing constraints that disallow free shipping.

Todd,
Will the donors get a preview like last year?
Thanks,
Alston
