Hippard Ranch Vineyard Petite Sirah 2010
We are at Taco Tuesday again today, and I've decided to try a Filippi Winery 2010 Petite Sirah. The color is deep purple in the glass. I picked up berries on the nose. This medium bodied wine also has blackberry on the palette. There is also some spice on the palette and the finish, which is not too long. Overall good structure. I could drink this again! — 10 years ago

Old Vine Lopez Ranch Zinfandel 2012
Hello fellow wine connoisseurs. Tonight I am trying a wonderful old vine Zinfandel from Cucamonga Valley where I had the privilege of visiting over the Christmas Holidays. If your looking for a wine you can drink that isn't as light as a pinot or as heavy as a cab, this zin is awesome!!!!
The cork was perfectly preserved. The color is dark purple but you can see your hand through the wine looking down on the glass. It is not as transparent as a Pinot Noir however. The legs are long and thick at about a 6 second drip. This is surprising. The initial bouquet is very light , reminds me of lavender and honey. EXCELLENT! The initial palate gives hints of grapes and dark berries with an amazing buttery texture. WOW. The finish is a bit sour like green apples and yet dissipates quickly leaving the flavor of buttered toast with blackberry jam. Don't get me wrong, it is very dry. It is in no way sweet. The after taste dissipates completely in five seconds leaving you thirsty for more. I can hardly wait to sip again. You should have at least a case of this wine on hand at all times. Oh yes, it is a 2012! — 10 years ago

Hippard Ranch Library Reserve Cabernet Franc 2009
Light purple color in the glass. Spice and hints of Vanilla on the nose. Took in oak on the palette. The finish was smooth with just a slight lingering finish. This is definitely one of Filippi's best wines. — 10 years ago

Aslin Beer Company
Take It In To Cooperation Sour Ale
#VABeerMonth
One of the beers our buddy Zack (@MyLifeIsAComicality) traded with us. This canning is a collaboration between Aslin Beer Company in Herndon, VA and Kings Brewing Company in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Made as a sour ale with peach, mango, raspberry, pink guava, vanilla and milk sugar. 5.0% Alc/Vol.
Cloudy and opaque pink almost like a grapefruit with a light head. Stinky to start on the nose with a bit of guava and more tropical fruits. Medium to medium plus bodied with some tart characteristics coming through. Quite refreshing and crisp mouthfeel with some tropical, sour red berries and stone fruit notes. Medium plus finish.
$$ - $4.51 a can. — 7 years ago

Raisiny goodness. Heated raisin with baked plumberry on the palate. Long lighthearted lasting finish, with a gingerlike heat. Pleasantly light for a dessert wine. — 7 years ago

Estate Bottled Velluto il meglio Red Blend 2010
Great smooth wine from JFilippi Winery. This blend of Tempranillo, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Cab with Vanilla and spice on the nose goes down very well. I will definitely need to buy more of this one! — 10 years ago

Pride of Cucamonga Hippard Ranch Red Blend 2010
Light ruby red in color. Cherry on the nose. Light to medium body on the palette. Opening up quite well after a few minutes. A bit of a lingering finish. Should go well with Taco Tuesday Filippi Winery Rancho Cucamonga, CA. — 10 years ago
South Coast Winery
Oaks Block Zinfandel 2008
A mild, and smooth Zinfandel, this 08 from South Coast Winery glides across your tongue and assuages the thirst for flavor from your taste buds. This zin'a flavor is lacking in complexity, but rather pleasing in the soft notes of its simplicity. — 12 years ago
