A lot of rough reviews. I think this is really good! A bit of almond, honey, apricot, and anise with a creamy mouthfeel. A fine sipper on a warm evening.

If someone had never tasted a Napa Valley Cab, I would happily pour this for reference. It's bold and great. I'm enjoying the balance of ripe, dark fruit with tasteful oak additions. There's a hint of eucalyptus, and pleasant leathery tannins. I personally would take this over Silver Oak or Heitz with my ribeye, and that's not just my wallet talking. $50 well spent.

My man Sydney at Cork & Keg told me to buy this wine, and I do what Sydney says so that he'll order what I ask him to. I've passed by this wine 100 times because I didn't like the label. But, you can't always judge a wine by its label. Look at Bionic Frog.
This is really good! It's a steak wine. Bold, nicely structured, and plenty going on flavor-wise. Big dark fruit, smoke, cedar, focused acidity and firm tannins. It's a winner. And the bottle weighs like 7 pounds.

Yeah, I bought 2 Joel Gott wines today. I guess I'm reliving some of the wines I liked when I first got into wine.
This is just fine! Inexpensive and chuggable, if I'm not careful. Citrus, green apple, pineapple, melon.. you're supposed to say "grass and gooseberry" when you drink SB, but I've never tasted a gooseberry. Not very grassy, either. Doing this with Thai spring rolls, and it's great.

This is 1792's new Cognac cask release. A lot of these barrel flavored whiskies are horrible- over done. This one is pretty tasteful and tasty. It comes off with more heat than 90 proof. The cognac is in the mix, and once you pick up on the "Jack Daniel's Banana," that's all you taste.

Got some teeth on it. Very pleasant fruit, red and blue. Chalky tannins. Inexpensive and just fine to drink now.

This is pleasant enough for some good Friday vibes.

You are what you drink... Good and clean. This is an inexpensive Tuscan Rosso that is pleasing.

Powerful nose on this one. I felt like I was getting into a big Paso Robles cab.
This wine is fruity and juicy, with an underlying tobacco leaf bitterness. Very sippable. This would make for a nice wild card at a party. $12.
