Burnt City Brewing

Charles Smith

Royal City Washington Syrah 2019

Earthy, blue fruit, smoked pork, olive brine, more alcohol on the nose than I recall, nice cigar smoke, dark ruby almost purple yet bright still, terroir driven with a sense of place. I feel like royalty with every sip. — 7 days ago

K Vintners

M.C.K Motor City Kitty Syrah

Fresh and with so much savory fruit, but really needs time as the tannins are imposing. Really needed the steak! — a month ago

Gravner

Venezia Giulia Ribolla Gialla 2015

No formal notes. A burnt brassy colour. It’s difficult to imagine a white wine with more flavour intensity than this skin contact Orange wine from Gravner. From memory apricot and mandarin peel, walnuts. Great palate length, low acid. Went well with a rich fish dish where I would normally have a light Pinot Noir. — a year ago

Wow 🤩 - Deep gold color. Aromas of burnt honey, pineapple, dried apricot, passion fruit and eucalyptus. Simply divine on the palate - orange, apricot and dried fruit.

Viña Tondonia Rioja Rosé Blend 2010

@Severn Goodwin doesn’t know I lifted this from his cellar. Far too pricey for a Rose.

As different as the most considered typical Rose.

Splendid but, if you are expecting Bandol or new world, this is probably not for you.

I entitled this bottle shot, Roses for Rasado.

Notes of sherry, vermouth, rhubarb, concentrated British tea sack. Geraniums & pink Roses. Gravel powder, dry top soil, burnt, brown sugar, blood orange, underripe pink grapefruit, dry floral bouquet. Excellent, well balanced finished.

Crazy good change of pace.

Top photos from my 2015 visit. Great historical stop in Haro.

Grabbed one of these for $45 from a shop who didn’t know what they had!

@Shay A This is one of those buy-everything-you-can bottles, esp at $45 👍

Stealing at $45. There is a place Indiana that has this well priced. Definitely not $45 but, $65. Still good. However, shipping laws what they are, couldn’t grab them.

Château Rieussec

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2017

Still fairly primary. The fruit on the nose is remarkable. The purest apricot, and a little lightly burnt brown sugar, lots of flowers. Intense in the mouth. Not that sweet, and pretty good acids. Great length. This will go a long time. Delicious now, and certainly much better down the road. — 6 days ago

Aged 20 Years Tawny Port Blend

browner colour, smells of burnt caramel, apricots, amber honey - very syrup-y. not as sweet as the other port. tastes like raisins, maple syrup-esque. tastes similar to the maple syrup taffy/lollipops. not as fruity as the other port. after chocolate the flavours are softened and honestly not as sweet — 8 months ago

Château des Tours

Réserve Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2010

A bit of spritz initially. Then the magic happened. Lovely cherry fruits, sandalwood, with tons of Provençal herbs. A hint of burnt sugar on the very long finish. Delicious with roasted chicken. My last bottle. — 4 years ago
