Very impressive, and because of the quality of the vintage, I guessed correctly this time. The quality is synonymous with the Wight Vineyard cab. Bold, sweet and textured. Syrup de cassis plays off sandalwood and bright acidity. This deserves cellaring, as it’s going to further improve. — 3 days ago

I really don’t like sake, but sake bombs with the right IPA are mesmerizing.
Mixed with Stillwater extra dry sake style saison ale. One part sake, four parts saison. Summer killer. Loving this concoction 🥹 — 7 days ago

Yes, it’s Thursday and I shit the bed. My bud (Zach) gifted this to me from Indy. It’s a brilliant effort. Loving this brew. — 12 days ago

AG nailed the notes on this wine. Really nothing to add. All dimensions of the wine check all the right boxes.
Rush of blood to the head got me and my board 🏂 out to Whistler as they extended their season. First time here and the conditions are stellar. My close friends can’t understand why I’m always on the move. My reply is “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”! 🥹 — 18 days ago

Zinfandel clearly has some utility… with a very suggestive appearance.
Drink this cold. Very rugged expression of a summertime wine. Displays it full coat of arms when combined with hard cheeses. Lots of cherry blossom notes with hints of red licorice. Drink over the next 24 months. — 3 days ago

No complaints with this. Excellent chard which would benefit from a little more time in the bottle. Nice density and purity of fruit. Well done, but in my opinion, Mount Eden chard is just as good, and less than half the price. — 11 days ago

At $12 I’m throughly impressed with this. Sandalwood nose eases into a velvety mid palate of cherries, and a wisp of cinnamon. Acidity is in the background and overall finishes moderately sweet. If you see it, try it. — 17 days ago

First vintage from Hobbs.
I expected better from this producer. No complaints, but no glowing remarks either. — 4 days ago

I re-learned how good this producer is. It’s complex, layered and textured, with just the right amounts of almond, brioche and honied notes on the nose and mid palate. While the acidity is fairly restrained, this presents like it has many more years ahead of it.
There’s an informality and freshness to this wine which belies its quality and sheer elegance. If you don’t want to spend on Aubert, Kistler et al., you should pay a visit to this producer. — 10 days ago

Whistler throw-back. Loving this.
The Canucks. Akin to spilling some paint, it’s impact is widespread. Really enjoy the sweet citrus notes. — 16 days ago
