Everyone wants what they can’t have right? And soon that will be the case with my wines. Suffice to say that this is my last Berserker Day as a fully licensed commercial winery. This ship is sailing. I am retired from production, and am literally on my boat typing right now.
So, what do I have? A couple bomb proof wines.
SOLD OUT****
The 2012 Sunnyside vineyard Riesling is in a very nice spot these days, but I still believe it can go another twenty years. There’s only one way to find out. So if you dig that kind of thing, then step up to the plate. What’s it like you may ask, well it’s dry. Very dry. Technically dry, meaning there is no residual sugar whatsoever. This doesn’t mean that the wine is shrill though as I left it on its original lees for eighteen months. Then I bottled it without filtration as it has no malic acid left in it either. A true zero zero. It is fat without being sweet and a zinger without being abrasive. I think it is pig headed too. $200 a case and free shipping. $120 a six pack and free shipping. SOLD OUT
Biha Ruby Riserva… What is Ruby Riserva? Great question. It is a non vintage (2014 & 2016) fortified Pinot noir. Initially I was intent on just seeing what happened. What happened was that I got some Pinot noir from Holmes Gap vineyard, left it all whole cluster in a couple of pick bins, ran it halfwayish to dryness and then took it off of the solids. Racked it into a tank waiting with the right amount of hooch to arrest the fermentation, then I racked it all to barrels. I then let the 2014 portion just rest in the barrels for five years.
Five years is a long time. Five years is an even longer time when you don’t even top it up once. But I liked what it was doing, and I liked where it was going. So when the opportunity to get a little more fruit came in 2016, I did it all the same way again.
It drinks like a Tawny, and if you want some of this deliciousness it’s easy. Just order. $360 a case, $200 a six pack.
Want six of each wine? xxx does it for you. Want three of each? Still xxx, you should just get more… No longer an option.
You can PM me here, or email me todd@biggiohamina.com and I will get you set up with a Square invoice. There’s no codes or shopping cart or website. I plan on putting together the boxes in early February, but we can discuss shipping needs individually.
Thank you again for all of your support through the years, and being one of the original participants since the inception has been an honor. Cheers!
