This is a big one, bold, juicy, with real presence of the 16% alcohol despite the age. Nose of blackberry, pine wood, vanilla, band-aid, somewhat musty clothes, and cacao. The age is definitely there in the musk and dustiness, but it’s unclear what to expect with a beast like this. Full bodied, dark purple/red and deep color, but no sense of the age in the color. Palate shows more of the age, deep chocolate notes, overripe plum, driftwood, slate and some malo-like milky elements. The alcohol is definitely there, with a finish like menthol, softened but present, well integrated tannins, with those Chico-raspberry like hints lingering for a long time into a finish that’s round and somewhat meaty. Weirdly, VERY strangely, tastes a little bit like skin. — 6 months ago

Somehow the taste of strawberry plus guava equals a raspberry vibe on the tongue. Maybe it’s basic but I’m a Topo Chico fan girl in all it’s forms. — 5 years ago

Vermouth is just an underrated option overall as a stand-alone drink.

I like to first sip a new bottle with an ice cube to understand its flavor notes. But I think my favorite way to drink it is with club soda (Canada Dry is pretty much the best club soda with no added minerals — Topo Chico is good if you’re looking for mineralized soda water). So I add about three quarters of a standard rocks glass with club soda over a large whiskey rock style of ice and then pour vermouth directly over, watching it diffuse with the soda to etch out a light cola, dark amber, color.

This ones got notes of mocha, cinnamon, citrus, cocoa, cola, orange peel, and even some spruce.

Really just all around wonderful coffee cola sweet and savory flavors. I prefer a slightly lighter Spanish style sweet vermouth, but this is a good change up. — 6 years ago

Hazy light orange, tiny bubbles, light head on pour. Typical hop-forward nose, in mouth dank hoppy flavors with slight tart nectarine pulp and nectarine stone finish. Not at all sweet so a serious take on fruit ales by the original hops-happy craft brewery out of Chico CA. It will grow on you — 5 years ago

Birthday 2020 wine. A richly complex layered wine. Nose: chalk, schists flint, vanilla yoplait, candied lemons. Palette: truly a wild journey but grounded in this like best cream soda of your life vibe. Candied citrus, salinity, sweet morning bun. A hint of musty cellar but just the right amount not off putting. Texture is like a melllow marshmallow topo Chico. Pleasantly long finish. Great acidity and bubbles all around. Fantastic stuff, will acquire another bottle to drink maybe birthday 2030. Hope there are sufficient antibody tests and be able to leave the apartment by then. — 6 years ago

Even without the celeb endorsement La Sorga’s “Chuck” is the best red pet nat ever. Extremely alive, it’s 100% Gamay, carbonated like a Topo Chico. Tiny bubbles and lots and lots of them.

Bone dry, it looks like berries then roundhouse kicks to minty moss and forest growth. — 6 years ago
