Lone Wolf IPA

P A
9.0

This quintessential IPA from Fernie Brewing is the one that launched the IPA movement in Fernie BC. With taste appeal from the newly introduced IPA consumer and the seasoned aficionado this hoppy IPA pleases all, at 6.5% alc/vol and a IBU of 70. Lone Wolf epitomizes our rugged and individual mountain spirit. A perfect match with wings while watching the Super Bowl. Cheers 🍻🇨🇦🏈 — 7 years ago

I'm not a Riesling aficionado by any stretch so I picked a nice NY finger lakes producer and we are NOT disappointed. A perfect way to ease into the evening with artichokes on the grill. — 8 years ago

Corton Charlemagne Rémy Rollin 07 from Wine aficionado

📝 Frederic (Wine A) brought our fish courses alive with this unique magnum of elegant juice that showed the minerality of Chablis, terroir of old Burgundy & creaminess of a new world Chardonnay with a smokey tone - very unique mix of aromas & flavours that was perfect for the scollops & cauliflower porridge! Check out others reviews for better 📝 😜

Thanks Frederic for sharing this experience 👍

Play Date Napa Valley Rosé of Syrah

Im not really a rose aficionado but wanted something a little different than just white on a hot summer afternoon and red just was not an option. I was completely impressed! Great body, refreshing not to light with a hint of fruit at the end of every sip. I would definitely have this at home for guests who wants to try something new. — 10 years ago

White Hills Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2011

Loved it - no wonder it has won so many awards. Top notch Chenin Blanc. Clean, crisp, and very good flavor. Makes a good Pinot Grigio taste like tap water. Glad my wine aficionado neighbor introduced this to us. — 10 years ago

Carabella Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Stunning Pinot Noir from Willamette! Luscious strawberry and dark cherries, and a nice leafy herbality on the nose and pallet, sliding into a white cracked pepper and black tea on the back and sides of your tongue. Just as you fall into comfort, it all fades into bliss, leaving a pleasant truffle and vanilla oak wrapping that begs you for a second sip, and a third. Definitely for a French Pinot aficionado to try as well! — 10 years ago

Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 2010

I don't normally drink desert wine, but when I do....

Kidding aside this is killer, acidity , freshness tannin, it offers a great experience for the wine aficionado and the novice.

Black cherry, cassis. As huge as it is it is just as fresh. Full bodied , fresh acidity and ripe tannins. 13.5 abv!

Reserve Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

No soy muy aficionado a los Cabernet Sauvignon, siempre me han parecido muy cargados sobretodo en boca, pesados, será por eso que con carnes van muy bien, a mi más bien me gustan los vinos ligeros, frutados, especiados, muy sutiles en el paso por barricas, en fin… son gustos de cada quien, aunque debo decir que este vino en particular es más ligero, lo degustamos con parrilla de carne a discreción, no hay duda el Cabernet Sauvignon se luce y armoniza muy bien saludos #wine #wines #winelovers #piscopremium #piscosour #pisco #10añosdeamoralpisco — 7 years ago

Quinta das Carvalhas 10 Year Old Tawny Port 2015

The "vintage" is the bottling year. Lovely dark fruit, (figs, raisins, plums) along with some molasses sweetness. Sweet Mother makes a pronounced guest appearance. She's always welcome.
Update: she's been hanging out on my counter and has opened up, exposing even more raisiny dark fruit delightfulness. Sweet Mother has been blended nicely into its fold of tasty happiness. To quote a great wine aficionado, smiling on a Monday is better than not smiling. Go Tigers!
