Scherrer Winery: "Continued Patience" Sale 40% Off Select Wines + Free Shipping on 12+

I'm surprised I haven't seen more winery direct offers due to reduced on-premise demand. But here's a great opportunity to buy wine from a tremendous California producer that's hard to find at retail (in Massachusetts anyway).

From the winery:

As you would imagine, it has been extremely difficult for us to operate under these conditions. Fortunately, because of your support, we have been able to manage. So out of gratitude as well as necessity, we have once again selected several wines that had been held back for restaurants which are absolutely showing their potential for the 2021 “Continued Patience” Nepenthe.

Michael Browne wrote in his book Pinot Rocks:

This guy named Fred Scherrer, he’s got Scherrer Winery. He is a wonderful guy and he grew up on a farm in Alexander Valley. He has been making wine forever. He worked for Tom Dellinger and he’s still making wine. I asked him one day, it was probably, I don’t know, 12 or 15 years ago. I said, “Fred, you’ve been doing this for a long time, making wine, and I am struggling here man.” I said, “When did you get it? When did you understand it?”

He says, “Michael, I’ve come to figure out it takes two consecutive adult lifetimes to figure it out.” I said, “Wow, nobody has that.” He said, “Exactly.”

I went for for 10 bottles of the RRV Pinot, 1 of the Platt and 1 of the Big Brother.

Tip: Scherrer is a Grand Reserve World Mastercard and as such earns 5x on that card. It will probably be the top winery I spend at this month so I'll get an additional 2x for a total of 7x in rewards. I normally put unbonused wine spend on credit cards I'm working towards a welcome bonus on but 7x is enough to sway me to use the Grand Reserve Card.
