Bedrock Wine Co.
T'n'S Blocks Hudson Vineyard South Syrah
At 10-years, a beautiful experience…deep, dark pour with no signs of bricking…dark fruit (more purple and black) aromatics that just keep on developing…palate mirrors aromatics with strong fruit profile…pleasing texture/mouth feel…medium finish…hard to say how much longer one should hold…tonight, it was in the right place for our dinner — 2 months ago
Hudson Vineyards
Carneros Chardonnay 2011
Christmas Eve pop and pour appetizers. A majestic medium gold color. On the nose: subtle notes of candied lemon, banana, pear, buttered popcorn, honey. Taste: chalky-creamy, bright wine with lemon rind, saline, pineapple, brioche, mineral and a white pepper grapefruit finish. YUM! — 7 months ago

Mature but still vibrant with soft fruit and modest acidity. — 2 months ago
Balletto Vineyards
Cider Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017
These always get better with age. The “sharpness” of the fruit and tannins melt away and the wine is so much more harmonious — 7 months ago

Black cherries, light raspberries, a little graphite and licorice. — 7 months ago

Eric Bordelet is the acknowledged Cider Master from the Loire valley in Normandy (Mayenne). The colour of amber beer. This cider is made from a blend of 19 apple varieties including bitter, sweet and acidic varieties. Aromas of mouldy apple (unsurprisingly) Palate is intense yet refreshing with stewed apple and low acid. Fine bubbles. Only 6% ABV and very enjoyable. — a month ago
