Half Acre Beer Company Lager Town Oktoberfest

Red Orange opaque amber with yellow orange top. Sea dragons and pretzels waltz, bowing backwards among stylized skeletal equines turned high contrast with melting mantis head ambivalence latencies. Dried apricot and pineapple honey breadsticks with capers, lime, lemon twist and hazelnut aromas. Strong lemon influence on the entry shows points of grapefruit pith and a lovely roundness suggestive of rosemary and dietary yeast.
Intense and lovely Oktoberfest offering.

Viña Nora

Rías Baixas Albariño 2019

Facing a natural terrace above the river Miño, located in the town of As Neves, within the wine region of Condado do Tea, bordering Portugal. Pale yellow with pronounced fruit and floral aromas. On the palate white flesh fruit flavors, citrus and herb notes with lively acidity and nice balance of minerality. Crisp on the finish ending with lemon zest notes. Nice! — 6 years ago

Bolla

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2015

When Abele Bolla opened up Al Gambero Inn in the northern Italian town of Soave over 100 years ago, no one could have guessed that the favorite pastime of winemaking would continue for four generations. Deep Ruby with aromas of jammy berry fruits, spice and oak. On the palate cherry and dried plum with bold spice, floral, cacao and cedar. Structured firm tannins, nicely balanced on long finish ending with fruit, cedar and earthy spice. Just starting to drink well now with room to age. — 5 years ago

Gary's Town Vineyard Syrah 2009

Down to my last bottle. Wish Red Car still made this wine. Pretty damn good, especially for an 8 year old CA syrah. Still going strong with plenty of stuffing left. — 7 years ago

Finca La Melonera

La Encina Inglés Ronda Garnacha-Syrah Blend 2015

A rare and special blend of Garnacha, Tintilla de Rota, and Tempranillo from the incredibly beautiful town of Ronda in Andalucia. This is an earthy, macho, and lusty wine! My friend described it as a bad boy, the kind that makes you want to behave badly. This wine has mineral aromas and flavors of dried mud and straw combined with black cherry and black currant notes that stretch into savory, meaty impressions. Tobacco and vanilla flavors linger long on the palate. With smooth tannins, and medium plus balanced acidity, this is a winner! — 7 years ago
