Good Priorat at the BA first class lounge at Heathrow. Dark fruit, oak, vanilla, and cranberry. Interesting! — 10 years ago
Excellent American Pale, brewed with Amarillo,cascade,galena, hops, these hops really give that big citrus note, more than most pales, so very glad this is now a year round beer in Beer Republic offerings among their other excellent beers — 11 years ago
I didn’t have high expectations for this wine. Mostly, it was in my cellar as part of a “can I drink all 50 states?” Instead I was pleasantly surprised. Is it fantastic? No. It’s not comparable to decent West Coast quality. But it’s also not bad... moderate acidity and ripe red fruits are pleasant with hints of tannins still present. Fairly dry but hidden by the muted tannins that remain. Back notes are phenolic and a little bit oaky. It is soft and lacks structure; definitely a drink-now wine. I would happily have another bottle. I’m surprised these are the varietals they chose to grow in Illinois, but it works... — 5 years ago
Beautiful and highly structured bottle of wine. Smooth mouth feel with subtle tannins. Dark fruits, licorice, tabacco notes.
