This was our aperitif for Christmas dinner. Absolutely wonderful. And it makes a nice after dinner cocktail with a splash of Port. EDIT: And it made wonderful mimosas the next morning. — 9 years ago

This is in your face West Coast IPA, here on the west coast we honor and cherish this beers, these are the ones that started the DIPA beers, this brewery in fact was one of the first, West coast IPA's San Diego brewery, multiple locations, Associated with Port brewery and Lost Abbey, big hops, big malts, we still crave and need these beers, when everyone else is going to the tame and mellow DIPA's it is very good to see this brewery remaining true to what they do, Just Like Stone brewery, in cans, big plus, stays fresher longer, All IPA's and DIPA's should be in cans, Excellent DIPA, in the style, West Coast all the way, no mistake of that — 9 years ago
This is a great little secret Madeira under the RWC label. Not one of their cheaper varietal blends, as solid as they are - this is more special, unique stuff. According to RWC, this was a Favilla Vieira Madeira discovered by Ricardo Freitas with no vintage date but an estimated age of 40-50 years old when bottled in 2010. There is also a Verdelho. I preferred this Malvasia when I first opened them together a few months back, as it was just as complex but richer and denser. It's actually streamlined itself considerably over the last few months - do NOT open this if you are in the mood for one of those treacly sweet, port-like malvasias. This is highly acidic (RWC notes that it comes from the cool northwest side of the island), lime-juicy and angular, still having a vivid green tinge in the glass. In fact it feels only a tick sweeter than the Verdelho at this point and might even come across dryer than the Verdelho did when first opened. Buzzes with all sorts of cool energy, even seems to have a shisito-pepper-like snap, and at this point the top notes are dominant although of course there is also some deeper dried fruit nuances underneath. — 10 years ago
A true classic, first ever IPA brewed in San Diego, my all time favorite place for IPA's holds up pretty well after 20 plus years, nice citrus and tropical notes, less of course than current IPA's, but overall solid IPA, and as I said it is a classic, if you in SD, and are a beer Geek, it is a must to try, esp on tap, have a growler filled up right now, excellent brew — 10 years ago
Finally starting to mellow a bit. Lovely, and playing the role of a 20yr port this evening. — 11 years ago

Wild. Unsure what exactly to expect since the reputation was "he did something to the wine". Barrel samples were off the hizzie, but the final product just seemed to skew so modern. And then a jillion years later.. it is still such.
Dark dark dark. Cherry cherry cherry. Opened rather nicely post decant. A multitide of flavors and aromas greeted us over the course of the next hour. Sweet, almost port like without the heat. Cool. @northforktable — 9 years ago

This is crazy good. Strawberry preserves and apple butter on the nose, a refreshing burst of acidity up front and a butterscotch pudding finish that goes on forever. — 10 years ago
Delicious and funky. Co-fermentation gives it a lovely combined feeling with a delicious richness full mouth feel and lightly bitter critic acidity. I had it with a pork and it was 10/10 — 10 years ago

2009 was better, but the 2010 is good as well. The port was excellent as well. — 13 years ago
