Brewery Ommegang

All Hallow’s Treat

Ommegang All-Hallows Treat. Black as soot with arabica creme head billowing; starling lacing in dimpled oils. Clean with creamy afterfeel, and the thinnest veil of peanut vaporous and undulating as the mask of the demoniac, entering the nose on tasting with caramel coffee and as spidery threads beneath the bitter, earthy toast of oaken bonds. Dark in soul and art. Best Chocolate Peanut butter beer I have had.

Estate Special Reserve Lot 22 Starling Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Produced by my friend Carl McKnight at his family owned winery - St Josef's in Oregon. It's exceptional! — 8 years ago

Domaine Julien Cruchandeau

Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Rosé Blend

NV (2018 fruit); Last bottle! 🙁 Still delicious and prior notes apply.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons and pianist Paul Lewis collaborate on the third of three concerts encompassing all five of Ludwig van Beethoven’s piano concertos in one weekend. Today's program includes OGONEK (Starling Variations, 2022; world premiere), FARRENC (Symphony No. 3 in G minor, Opus. 36) and BEETHOVEN (Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat, Opus 73, Emperor). This weekend has been an auditory pleasure, enjoying all five of Beethoven's piano concerti, and what a finale today!

Love Huey Lewis on piano, but he’s a little better with the Harmonica.

I actually sat next to Huey in the MSP airport many, many years ago.

Kirk Venge

Croix Starling Morelli Roost Chardonnay 2014

Awesome recommendation from our local wine guy. Hadn't heard of if before, apparently it's a newer project from Kirk Venge. It's the Chardonnay but Delectable doesn't seem to have it in their database. Complex nose and palate of flowers, minerals, slate, apricots, mint, brown butter, blah blah blah. Basically, too many to list, but I like how it tastes a little different each time. Really nice acid and viscosity. Sure to age well. — 8 years ago

Its awesome and definitely worth a try. $80, but that's from a little boutiquesy tourist place in my town. Likely cheaper elsewhere @Ron R

Agree. This was very good. Excited to try the croix pinot and zin

Saracina

Lolonis Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Nose has under-ripe peach, lemon zest, cold chalk and wet beach sand.

Palate has pineapple core, dried lemon, sea spray and dehydrated peach.

Nice balanced acidity, no real herbal notes to speak of, a different expression than the traditional style. This wine should have a long life ahead, drink 2024-31.

The inaugural, single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc for Saracina from the Lolonis Vineyard; possibly some of the oldest SB vines in the US, planted in 1942.

@Douglas Braun @Andrew Schirmer Yes, a great weekend. But the most amazing footnote, Paul Lewis has played all 5 piano concertos this weekend without the benefit of sheet music, all memory! Plus I'm thinking might be the first soloist to perform with the BSO for 3 days continuously. We've not had a weekend of great music like this since we got all three acts of Wagner Die Walküre in one epic weekend several years back! (I had to take the next day off, we dedicated the weekend to a lot of Riesling.)
(I had to check my calendar to make sure which pieces were exhibited. 🤦‍♂️)
