Rudy.
Premier Cru.
Maison Ilan.
Don Cornwell’s premox dinners deserve inclusion, but there are two a year. Maybe pick a representative one?
actually there are three; 2009 wines this year were an exception, just two.
Another nominee:
Found about 6 cases of cooked wine in the garage
Have not tried them all but the ones in styrofoam are good to go, the rest are cooked. Not expensive stuff, but 2 cases of 05 Reignac ruined. Also some nice 04 Brunelli down the drain. Some inexpesive Rieslings are drinkable. All the Cali reds...
Dildine’s thread that kicked off the HVS:
California’s great old vine Zinfandel vineyards
Nothing in the wine world fascinates me like California’s heritage vineyards. These vineyards have it all – history, romance and most of all, they are the source for distinctively intense and delicious wines. Perhaps my favorite wines. These...

Here’s another one, should be Berserker required reading IMO. The part about Parker accusing Eric of introducing him to Rudy is pure gold.
And so it begins - Leslie Sbrocco and collateral damage online
This video is hilarious. You have to first watch the ad and then skip to 1:45. The reporter played hardball. http://www.13wham.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=210147@wokr.daypo

Fan of the classics; Sierra Carche:
After multiple calls today and yesterday from Rob Kenney (a good friend of mine, and the biggest suck up EVER to Jay Miller), it seems that even Kenney has been working his head out of Jay’s ass. Now, Jay may be the nicest guy in the world, I make...

Sierra Carche was more focused on other forums - we were the ‘leftovers’ here
Fair enough. Those three probably make up my intro to Berserkers.
I just went back and reread the thread. Certainly one of the most collaborative and energetic threads I’ve seen.
I’m hurt that no one has nominated my graphite and salinity thread . How many threads include scientific experiments on wine phenomenon? And it was the thread that inspired Katrina BI to refer to “rubbing fleur de sel in [my] wounds.” A good time was had by all, I think.
Todd, you need to update the links in this thread to https.
Is it too early to nominate the ongoing Santa Rosa/Napa/Sonoma fire thread?
The very high winds might have created our nightmare. Potential Napa-altering fires underway. Began behind Silverado Resort and spreading fast up Atlas Peak, Yountville and Napa. In the eastern hills. Stags Leap area evacuated. Atlas Peak on fire. ...

Now rocketing to the top of the list of nominees: Alan Eden’s Should Fu Resign as Moderator ?
Or is that ineligible because Charlie moved it to Asylum?
This truly great thread on white Burgundy producers has recently bee resurrected. I nominate it for inclusion in the hall of fame.
In white burgundy, who are your second stringers? (I’m thinking mainly of producers who “specialize” in whites?) I know Coche-Dury, Roulot, Raveneau, Leflaive (for some); maybe Ramonet are considered first tier? Second tier: PYCM, Lamy, Niellon,...
