In one fell swoop kick off the sandals, throw off the shirt, hop skip across sun-baked flat tile stones and dive with a swan’s assurance into the seaside swimming pool, warmed only by the elements, and just as mysterious, elusive and temperamental…….
Album pairing: Krulle Bol - This Is The Kit — 2 years ago
Paired with Midlake’s Van Occupanther. A perfect pairing. The complexity is a 91, but with the album it calcifies the memory of both. As for the actual wine, the cork was dry, but the wine is alive, — a year ago
Album release wine! — 2 years ago
High fruit, blackberry, red currant. Mid-strong vanilla. High tannin and medium high acidity. The finish is quite long. Extremely nice wine for the price point. — 5 years ago
Nose has ripe blackberry, mashed blueberry, light cedar, spring voilets and tanned leather.
Palate has rich (!!) chocolate covered blackberry, mullberry, blueberry seeds, blackberry jam, moist earthy loamy soil and wet sand.
In a very nice spot tonight after a 4-hour decant. A perfect pair alongside local, grass-fed beef patties on a super hot grill, great crust and warm middle.
Also a great accompaniment to Robert Glasper's newest project, R+R=Now, Collagically Speaking, a great West Coast style jazz album, keeping with the Glasper-style, but adding some serious players surrounding him. On Blue Note for this release, so serious respect from the industry. — 5 years ago
Try this with a vintage album, such as Chicago Transit Authority circa 1969. Carries a bouquet of angry leftist rebellion with just a hint of “the world is watching”. Damn good wine. — 2 years ago
Love this night in and night out. Funny thing this time - on the nose there is something that won’t go away - remember when you would open a new album? Remember that smell? Not vinyl. No other way to describe it. Just very interesting. Very fresh smelling. Plenty of citrus too. Palate very nice and the album scent not there on the palate. Finish a little different than normal. Still nice. — 5 years ago
Deep golden amber skin contact Italian white, made with Albana grapes. Was real sexy but I got distracted listening to our freshly opened Bright Eyes Cassadaga vinyl and geeking out over how amazing every song is and all my deepest life memories this album has guided me through with my husband — 5 years ago

WotN. With air this was a composite puzzle of herbs, yellow fruits, new album cover and petrol-stained fingers. Wow. — 6 months ago
