Everyone is raving about this wine. Trying to decide between 6 of the 2010 or 6 of 2010 plus 6 of the 2009.

Any thoughts?

You made some good choices today IMHO, Agree with Kyle we will find out what there like...but then again I like forward wines as well as restrained wines if they are well made and depending on my mood

Buy both...they are young but delicious and should age very well.

You two are killing me. I need to move north, or get you to do more splitz.

Rascal Pinot?

No clue. About $11 shipped, though...

Tyger and I are always good for splits.

Nicora winery in Paso who sold out there entire BD offer in 5 minutes is offering free shipping for life if you sign up for there wine club today..I'm going to check them out!

Didn't see it till later. I'll try tomorrow and cut you in if I can make it work. Yes, San Diego.

Got sucked into Halcon, Cabot and Tercero....I'm counting on you guys!

Cool. Let me know.

If you don't like any of them send em to me I'll drink them!

time2testit wrote:So we both just wait until it's too late and then say "damn" or say "saved some money and have enough already?"

Yes. Or say both in one breath

Was that phone message from you? It was pretty garbled.

time2testit wrote:Want to go in on the Sojourn (1 of Sangiacomo for each of us and 1 of the Sonoma Coast for each of us)??

I think I can be convinced...that's going to end up being, what, $32/bottle or so?

klezman wrote:Yes. Or say both in one breath

Yes. It was. Ends up at $35/bottle with tax. If it's still available.

time2testit wrote:We would, but Klez disappeared (even tried his cell). On the fence though, since after adding in CA tax it would average out to $35/bottle on the 4. I understand it's a nice savings off retail pricing and shipping, but still.

Sorry...ended up being out all afternoon. $35 is on the edge for me, considering the other bottles I can get for the price. But it's a solid discount from a well known producer, so it seems like a good thing to try. Therefore I'm torn. I could easily go either way and not feel bad.

Ditto. Although unlike the other winery offers on that site today, we've tried these and they were really good. But, we are going to dinner very soon so....yes/no?

Well, that's a lot of pressure but...purchase made. First BD purchase as well.

So, what's the damage reports from the WB sale?

I've got Tercero, Sojourn, Pinots from Cabot (thanks Hokiedevil!), Pinots from Cellars 33, and Syrahs from Capesino.

Way more wine than I wanted to purchase, but I'm excited about all of them.

Jean Edwards, Andersons Conn Valley, Sojourn, Windy Oaks, annnd I will restock my Cabot Syrahs.

No pressure at all - it's easier for me to leave it in your hands than to decide myself I'll add those two to the ledger. The ledger is getting longer. I'm also still considering the Buttonwood CF offer, but it doesn't quite feel like enough of a deal.

tytiger58 wrote:Jean Edwards, Andersons Conn Valley, Sojourn, Windy Oaks, annnd I will restock my Cabot Syrahs.

Two Jean Edwards from you, and two Sojourn from time2testit. I'm ok with 4 bottles.

I went in on Jean Edwards, Cellars 33, Calluna, EMH Black Cat and Rasa.

Looking forward to them all!

After yesterday's burnout, difficult to return to normalcy, but Invino has 2010 Foppiano Sauvignon Blanc RRV Estate Bottled for $14. RPM tour members were grabbing cases of this for $9, it was that good; $14, humm.

Only 5 bottles, but cost $200. I need to get crappier tastes. Jean Edwards and Sojourn.

Also purchased a Wine Check. Will be very useful when making the migration to California this year and will be well used in general! Now that I know about it, seems like a must have...

Wish that all the deals died yesterday, but I just bought the Cabot Syrah pack because I've had a day for the rave reviews here to settle and marinate. I'm just glad I'm not into Pinots at the moment since the offerings yesterday seemed pretty Pinot-heavy.

The Tercero varieties pack looks so tempting, but I don't have room for a full case. Any chance anyone in the Bay Area wants a split? or maybe it'll sell out soon and stop enticing me...

Edit: Went ahead and bought the varietals case anyway. More for my soul, less for my wallet.

I carefully considered my credit card balances, the status of my accounts receivable, the shortage of suitable space to store more wine, and finally (but most importantly) my relationship with DW and that yesterday also happened to be her birthday. So I spent the day out with her, smartphone turned off.

So I swapped the allures of her for the temptations of the sale. An exchange gladly made.

Yeah, that tends to happen on BerserkerDay. Luckily, I "restricted" my purchases to a six-pack of Bailiwick (really excited to try a new producer!), a six-pack of Big Basin, and a mixed case of Tercero. Nearly jumped on the Sojourn, Cabot, and Windy Oaks offers, but held off. Looks like a couple of offers are still going on today, though. Ugh, resistance getting low...must stay strong...

I ended up with:
- Sojourn: 2 Sangiacomo and 2 Sonoma Coast PN
- Halcon: 6 2009 and 6 2010 Syrah
- Jean Edwards: 1 each of the Stagecoach 07 and 08 and 2 of the 74-41 Cabernet
- Stefania: case of Chard for the wife

Thanks for all the help guys.

Do you like how I threw in the case of chard so when all this turns up it will hopefully ease the questions.

Thoughts from anyone on the budget Bodegas Olarra Rioja Anares Reserva 2006 from WL?

I got three magnums of Halcon Alturas - the vertical was gone, but Paul was nice to suggest 2x2009 magnum +1 2011 magnum at the same price. I have a few 750ml bottles of the 2010 in my cellar, so I can approximate the vertical anyway.

Also the Cabot Pinot 3-pack and Syrah 3-pack.

I am new to Wine Beserker and I found the whole sale a bit challenging to navigate - which was probably good for my wallet.

Just emailed Paul myself and begged for any mags he might have left.

I apparently live just 5 miles from Paul and have arranged to purchase a small selection to try and see if it is as good as you and Kyle say it is.

Hope you like them...if not next time your in my area bring them by I'll take them off your hands.

Well, I know his customer service is great so I am sure the wine is made with great passion and I know that your palate isn't completely wonky so I'm not too worried.
