Born Hoshi Junmai Daiginjo Sake

This has more kick and aroma. Did this second. Not sure if that was right or I should have reversed it but think the progression was right. — 2 months ago

Luigi Giordano

Cavanna Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2016

Paired this with a pasture raised ground beef & veggie stuffed delicata. Was amiable with the dinner, a bit astringent when drinking with out the food. Overall happy with it! — 9 months ago

Gros Ventre Cellars

First Born Pinot Noir 2022

Great acidity with plenty of red fruits, cherry, cranberry and plums. Its expressive and refreshing finish reminds me of those outstanding nouveau beaujolis that keeps me reaching for another bottle with friends. — 2 months ago

Born Tokusen Junmai Daiginjo Saké

Sake tasting. Yamaha rice selection. Really nice. To me it’s a medium weight on the palate, creamy, with a little bit of alcohol on the finish. I’m a fan of Born in general. 32% polish. 16% ABV. Fukui, Japan. — 7 months ago

Bit more alcohol as it warms in the glass.

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner California Chardonnay Blend 2021

Prisoner Wine Company was born different, designed to disrupt. Roussanne and Gewürztraminer added to this blend, medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with toasty vanilla oak aromas. On the palate flavors of apple and pineapple with citrus zest and nutty vanilla notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, creamy oak and mineral character. — 2 years ago

Charles Krug

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Est. in 1861, first winery in the Napa by Prussian-born Charles Krug. Today the winery remains under the leadership of the Peter and Marc Mondavi, whose family purchased winery in 1943. Fruit sourced mainly from five family estates in Yountville, deep Ruby with ripe dark berry scents and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of sweet blackberry and cherry with leather, cacao and vanilla oak. Soft tannins, long ending with toasty oak and fruit! Very nice! — 8 months ago
