Billy Half-Stack IPA

I forgot how good this IPA was. Had it about 2 Christmas ago in a growler. My brother @notrog gave me a growler of this. It was so good then, it is so good now. And now that its in bombers, it might be my favorite bottled IPA from NYS. The hops shine through on this one nicely. If I'm not mistaken, I smell some Nelson Sauvin hops. Juicy, fresh fruit, its tropical fruit, citrus fruit some tree fruit too. Great malt profile that sweetens up the bitterness from the hops perfectly. Clean dry finish keeps you coming back for more. Balanced. Only down fall, the midpalate might be a bit short or watery. Go find this from @singlecutbeer and enjoy. #beer #craft #craftbeer #craftbeerny #nysbeer #nydrinksny #tasteny #singlecut #astoria #queens #billy #ipa — 11 years ago

North Fork Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Still has plenty of life. Still excelent tannic structure. Great acidity. Fresh and vibrant. Fruit, tobacco, spice and deliciousness. Got another 10 years to go. #liwine #nydrinksny #tasteny #bedell #cabernertsauvignon #wine — 11 years ago

Estate Merlot 2010

Big and yet graceful. From a powerful vintage. Packs lots of fruit with plenty of earth and spice. The heat from the vintage pokes it's head up on the nose but adds complexity on the palate. Flowers. Cherries. Spice. Earth. Cocoa powder. Bay leaf. Cardmom. Chewy tannins. Fresh acidity. Don't be fooled by the nose. The palate over delivers. #liwine #nydrinksny #tasteny #merlot #wine — 11 years ago

Southold Farm + Cellar

Artful Dodger ODV Main Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

This is nutty. This is purposeful. This is rich. This is zesty. This is sold out. This is something I should have had sooner. This is something I regret not getting more of. Sauvignon Blanc with pourpose, to change the way you think about Long Island Sauvignon blanc. #liwine #tasteny #drinklocal #southoldfarmandcellar — 11 years ago

Marco Tulio North Fork of Long Island Red Blend 2012

Plum, cherry, blackberry, vanilla, earth, savory herbs and spice. And that's just on the nose. Well balanced and nice acidity. Bit of heat, but it ads complexity. #liwine #tasteny #drinklocal #mdw #nydrinksny #roanokevineyards — 11 years ago

Gabby's Cabernet Franc 2006

Who would have thought that this would have finished in last in a group of older Long Island wines. Sure 2006 wasn't a great year, but in its youth it was stellar. And its still young. Showed lots of earth, spice and savory notes. Most of the fruit has fallen off compared to the 2002's and 2003's we tasted. Still showing a small amount freshness, and the tannins were more relaxed. This is by no means a knock. I like an earthy and savory Cabernet Franc. It was just shoing less fruit than the others. #liwine #nydrinksny #tasteny #roanokevineyards #cabernetfranc #franc #wine — 11 years ago

In the glass tonight. 67% merlot, 28% cab franc 5% cab sauv. Far less over-wrought than many 2012s. Ripe but lithe and fresh at the end. #nywine #liwine #wine #tasteny — 11 years ago

Block 1 North Creek Vineyard Seyval Blanc 2013

Finishing up from last night. Nice acid and length. Wanted a bit more fruit. Not well familiarized with Seyval. I'd give it another go around. #hudsonvalley #hudsonchatham #seyvalblanc #wine #nydrinksny #tasteny — 11 years ago

Clovis Point

Chardonnay 2013

Tasty chardonnay from the 2013 vintage. Pear, apple and citrus fruits lead the way with hints of spice and croissant. Fresh, but the balance is a bit off, most likely from the heat of the vintage. Viscous mouth feel. Lingering finish of white pepper and apple. #wine #chardonnay #liwine #nydrinksny #tasteny #drinklocal — 11 years ago

Taste Red Merlot Blend 2010

Merlot heavy blend. Spice, dark fruit, earth, herbs, smoke and sweet vanilla. Well integrated tannins and freshness. Not a bargan, but if you have some in the cellar, this one has life. Would love to see this in 5 years. 2010 vintage. #bedell #liwine #nydrinksny #tasteny #tastered #wine — 11 years ago
