How does one person decide what the “best offers” are? If I don’t like a particular wine, I wouldn’t buy it even if it were half price so the offer doesn’t matter. Let the wineries post their deals and the chips fall where they may.
ps - if it weren’t for Berserker Day, I’d never have discovered JEC’s Rutherford Reserve. Looking forward to a touchdown or two on the 2013 this year.
Here is last year condensed into one post.

Wow pretty amazing summary! ![[worship.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/9/99a8907a1d5b3c023582052741dc72dc9823c044.gif "worship"){kind=small}
Last year’s Berserker Day was my first foray into buying direct from winemakers - very addictive! I can’t wait to see what’s up for offer this year. It’s an amazing way to try new wines.
I like the participation ranking as a basis for placement - a nice way to give back.
Holy crap, Brian, that’s a helluva list. Thanks for putting that together.
BTW, no volunteers yet to help with PR/social media…

Get a machine learning scientist and some software developers and write a ranking and randomization algorithm. Boom. Drop the offer details in. build out a platform bridge to have it auto post on WB.
Todd can just sit back and sip on a margarita on the day of!
I’d suggest giving BerserkerBusinesses first priority on listings and the added exposure that an enhanced position brings - and offer first priority listing to anyone that becomes a BerserkerBusiness before BDVII.
Then toss all the others into a hat and pull them out, and let chance dictate the order.
I can help with my Flyertalk wine buddies. 
Every little bit helps.
Thanks, Dan - indeed every little bit helps, and that group is pretty massive
'bout time Todd.
You’ve only given us 5 1/2 weeks to prepare.
I think he does this so that we do not blow all of our money on Xmas gifts for the spouse and kids. Well done!
Todd- happy to help on the PR front. What are you looking for? Cross posting when BD starts? Pre-BD build up? Actual ad work, or just FYI stuff?
Well, I can say I’m in. I have 4 wines and their prices finalized.
I will also, as usual, have an auction item. I have yet to figure that one out. I typically donate a magnum. But this year I might do something a bit more special ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
Absolutely count on us to have some great Veleta deals and some nice packages for the charity auction as well!
I will tell all of my friends not involved in WB (three people) about Berserkersday.
I’d inform the visitor of the offline on Jan-23.
As for Merrill’s note re: something special, I guess I’d need to standby and prepare the wallet…
We want oil! We want oil! But if you could change the size of the bottle mouth so I could re-use and re-fill, I wouldn’t mind. 
I’m down to two bottles and getting nervous.
Yes.
Thanks, Gerard - and I say ‘yes’ because I need anything, everything - whatever anyone can do to help, I’m happy to accept. I just want to help spread the word a bit, and don’t have much time to do so.
Heh i’m down to 4 drops and in a state of panic!
