Who wants to celebrate with me? Congratulations to all the winners in my portfolio and a big thank you to Sommeliers Choice Awards.
8 Gold and 1 Double Gold! 🥇

Who would have guessed that a Chardonnay steals Riesling the show?! I didn’t and I love them both…

One of my absolute favorites? SEKT.
And not every Sekt is worth your time… trust me. I’ve tried many and did the research.

All my sparkling wines are made in the traditional method, Brut or Brut Nature. Who needs sugar?!
If the term SEKT is NOT further specified on the bottle, it’s most likely tank method/charmat method.

And rumor has it you should always have sparkling wine on hand. I support this rumor.

Have you tried Sekt or Champagne and Currywurst? Do you want the recipe? 🤤

I might have some very cool Sekt bundles ready for BD17… 👀✨

Forbes just featured BerserkerDay!

In a time when wine sales are declining, BerserkerDay keeps breaking records by doing something simple but powerful: supporting small producers and independent wine businesses.

BerserkerDay helped me so much in the early stages of my business and gave me the confidence that there is a market in the US for the wines I was choosing.

Fast forward to today: **3 years in business
**my 3rd Berserker Day! January 30th!  **importer of the Year 2025 **First distributor signed!

So grateful for this community and everyone who buys wines not just on Berkersker day, but you should definitely check out the offers :) January 30!!

German Pinot Noir or Spätburgunder? Max calls it Pinot Noir for his Sélection massale vines from Burgundy versus Spätburgunder which are clones from Germany.

Biodynamic. Volcanic. Ridiculously complex but elegant. I love his volcanic single vineyard Pinot Noir. Spontaneous fermentation kicked off with 5 days of carbonic maceration, followed by classic maceration on the skins.

Aged for nearly two years in 100% new French oak, crafted by a small cooper in Burgundy using oak harvested from the forest that crowns the vineyard.

FUN FACT: Because it is officially labeled as “table wine,” the full site name cannot appear on the label.

Region: Baden, Markgräflerland

Psst. It will be on sale during Berserker Day! January 30th, Friday. 📆

Germany is a cool-climate wine-growing region. So how are the red wines THIS good?

Tiny production overall, but the commitment to top-tier red winemaking (and a little help from a warming climate) has unlocked a new era:
Merlot, Zweigelt, Pinot Noir, Spätburgunder, Lemberger, Cabernet Franc.

Did you hear the news? Siegloch 2019 Cabernet Franc Vogelfrei Reserve was crowned best RED WINE (Category Cabernet) by VINUM red wine price!!?? I snagged a few bottles!

The vines are grown on our steep-slope terraces overlooking the River Necker. The vineyard with its rustic calcareous soils is cultivated by hand. Aged in French oak for 18 months, bottled unfiltered and without any fining. As pure as it gets!

Expect elegance, complexity — and very little inventory. Check out my red wine bundle I curated for BerserkerDay. Safe the date! Jan 30th!
