La Dona's Sparkling Muscat

Love it. Super aromatic and tropical on the nose. Peaches, mango, and apricots. But none of that fruit comes through on the palate. More grapefruit, super minerally, lots of sediment and funk. Bone dry. — 7 years ago

Glad to see Alpine here. This is a great DIPA, where the hops are nicely balanced by the earth and Grassy tones, with a hint of citrus on the front. Long lasting finish, great carbonation. — 8 years ago

Really nice porter. Quite bitter, which I think makes it stand out among many of the syrupy beers of this style. Vanilla but without overwhelming sweetness, like an actual vanilla bean. — 9 years ago

Unique white coming from young woman winemaker in the Canary islands. I found this to be pleasantly #smokey but not over #oaked . Expresses the #volcanicsoils very well but light and sharp at the same time! Interesting find! #canaryislands — 8 years ago

Dorado Double Imperial IPA

Love this beer, it was first released only on draft years ago, then in Bombers, now in 12oz six packs( yes!!!) one of my favorite double IPA's , 10% AVB do not taste, but it is the hops, Crystal hops, less acidity, so it is less bitter, so smooth, but big and hoppy, with citrus and tropical notes, my kind of double IPA, "Sculpin" on crack, Outstanding!!! — 9 years ago

McCormick Ranch Carignan 2012

This has got to be the most refreshing red wine I ever had...with jamet CdR trailing shortly behind. No minerals here for contemplation but lord am I high on acid right now! This one's all about the judicious decisions very obviously made by the winemaker here to extract intensely on what most would consider grapes just barely hitting ripeness. Clocking in at a whopping 12% alcohol I could drink this all day everyday. Ultra clean strawberry dark cherry lemonade this one. Highly pleasurable and highly unique. Ate it with just about everything in my pantry just for fun and all of it worked. Definite recommendation. Another one up for american winemakers 👍👌 — 9 years ago

Swami's India Pale Ale

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 — 9 years ago
