Perennial favorite. This one seemed a bit oxidized. More golden in color. Same notes of lemon zest and almond. A bit off. Still good. — 7 years ago
Re-committing to my long review backlog. This one is a perennial favorite for me, and Wayne does a great job from year to year with this central coast chard. More on the honey/peach side of the spectrum, with a light amount of oak and butter. Definitely one (like Aubert) that benefits from a bit of time in the glass and approaching room temp. — 7 years ago
This pint can of Perennial Artisan Saison de Lis is amazing and just what I’ve wanted!!!
This is a Belgian style ale brewed with Chamomile flower and it’s amazing, picture the frothiness of the chamomile tea, and it’s robustness and gentle bitterness in a beer form... it’s very very very good! — 8 years ago
The flagship from Domaine Saint Préfert, and my first Charles Giraud. Préfert’s Charles Giraud has been a perennial high-scorer with multiple triple digit scores from Robert Parker. The 2015 is one of only four Chateauneufs to receive 99 points from Wine Spectator (none have received 100 points) and one of the other four is the 2010 Charles Giraud. This is epic juice. 60% Grenache, 40% Mourvèdre. Soaring aromatics. Incense, kirsch, lavender, fig, stone, meat, plum, Provençal herbs and exotic spice. Plush and silky, with an all-consuming intensity. Pair with Jeff Buckley. — 8 years ago
Penultimate bottle! With perennial thanks to D Beckwith for the tip. Owing to its age, it shows best from 30-90 minutes on opening. Thereafter it gets sorta wide without further revelations or complexity, but there’s a kind of mineral sweet spot with cool Japanese umami notes and I’m consistently impressed by the showing. — 8 years ago

Bright wine, reminiscent of my perennial favorite Furore. — 9 years ago
One of the best. Love the chili pepper flavor with dark and milk chocolates. Cinnamon and vanilla are secondary. The spice is what sets this apart from other beers in this style. Needs no pairing. — 5 years ago

A perennial crowd favorite with tropical fruit and luscious mouthfeel that is unusual in Sauvignon Blanc. (Fun fact: Merry Edwards actually pours this wine after the Pinots in its tasting line up and essentially at room temperature. Be careful to not overchill!) — 7 years ago
A perennial bargain, Domaine de Fontsainte does not disappoint in 2017. Vibrant, pure berry flavors with a pillowy softness on the edge. Buy by the case for your next garden party. — 8 years ago
