The second annual Berserker Day is being celebrated at Wineberserkers.com.  This online community is a place where thousands of folks slightly (or very) berserk over wine gather to discuss this passion.

In honor of Berserker Day, over 60 special deals, raffles, and auctions are being offered by the member wineries, retailers, and individuals of the forum.

If you want to discover some new wines at some very attractive prices, check it out. (I believe you will have to register with WineBerserkers in order to see the deals.)

By the way, our offer on the forum is we will be raffling off 6 magnums of the soon-to-be-released 2008 Butterdragon. To be eligible, you’ll have to be a member of Wine Berserkers and have donated the retail value of the wine ($135) to a children’s health charity from Jan 1 – Jan 27, 2011. Our recommended charity is the Children’s Tumor Foundation.

We went to this last night. It was okay, but a pretty small exhibit. It would be worth stopping in on that floor if you are going to SFMOMA anyway but probably not worth a special trip.

I heard several folks saying what we were thinking: they should have a wine tasting at the end of the exhibit.

One Wednesday, January 19, 2011 we bottled approximately 150 cases of our ’08 Baconbrook Cabernet.  This wine will be released in the Fall.  Here’s the video.  Sorry for some of the sound quality.  It’s loud on those bottling trucks.

Tasting our 2007 vintage wines.

I just had to chuckle. That’s how the ad in the SKY MALL catalog described a technological marvel that is “so feature rich you won’t need a cell phone.” It doesn’t make calls, text, or email, but “there’s no need to shuffle around your pockets for your cell phone to know the date and time. It’s right there on your wrist whenever you want it.” I guess marketing in today’s interconnected world requires new verbiage to sell a watch.
