Bird On A Wire

Brouwerij 't Gaverhopke

Bitter Sweet Symphony Belgian Douple IPA

Truly a symphony. Balanced like that fool in Man On a Wire. For those that find the cloying sweet malt of some Belgians disgusting, this is the answer. A tinge of sour a tinge of malt. #symphony — 10 years ago

L'Hermitière

Poiré de Normandie Sparkling Perry

Caution: Some of these are super carbonated so watch where you point that bad boy when you twist off the wire. Consequently it's the most effervescent cider/poire I've ever experienced, nearly the same effect of putting mento's and coke in your mouth. Hazy golden color with a nice layer of lees sediment. The french farmhouse funk is as lovely as ever with alot of very obvious acetic acid on both the nose as well as palate. Semi-dry, appreciatively fresh with a nice long back end to round things out. She's a beaut :) — 11 years ago

Firestone Walker Brewing Company

Double Jack Double IPA

This is one of the best double IPA's out there; whether it is a nitrous tap, bomber, or one year old bomber. The depth of this particular beer is perfect on its on its own, a burger with a bird on top, or with a good slow cooked meat. All in all, you will not be disappointed. — 12 years ago

Bird on a Wire

Yarra Valley Syrah 2010

Lucious wine full of ripe blackberries. Not overly spiced and exceptionally smooth. Perfect with a simple filler steak followed by cheese. — 10 years ago

Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Dang, this 13 is a succulent wine. Young but singing like a song bird. Dense, extracted, and rich as all get out. Milk chocolate, dried flowers and black plum on the nose, fabulously rich sweet fruit on the palate.. A touch of lavender and tannins rounding out the mouth make this a dynamite wine for $30 - the best vintage of this I've had.. Get as much as you can. — 11 years ago

Under the Wire

Brosseau Vineyard Sparkling Wine 2012

Love this single vineyard vintage California bubbly. It's charismatic, layered, broad, energetic, and vinous with a yellow orchard fruit, ginger, floral, mixed citrus (lime and a hint of blood orange marmalade), gentle spice character underscored with an appealing wet stone minerality. 12% alcohol, 22 months on lees, dosed at 3g/L — 10 years ago

Consilience

Santa Barbara County Syrah 2005

Like a baptist preacher Amen-ing a c-sharp into my cerebellum. Aggressive and bold, yet soft silky tannins that dance delicately on my tongue, a Degas stuck in mid pirouette. Drinking alone in the D often has it's advantages... Drink now if you have this rare bird! — 11 years ago

Le Grand Vallon Condrieu Viognier 2011

Insanely balanced, and firing on all 12 cylinders. High-wire. Freshness with density, and heady perfumed floral aromatics matched with compelling savory, meaty notes from the variety and noble reduction. A pity I can't afford to drink more of this. You could wait more than a few years to bust into this, but crazy good now. — 12 years ago
