A touch musty, with lemon and tangerine below. Lemon verbena, citrus pith pudding and dried limestone make this steely, coconut and charcoal dust sea wind take on interesting tastes. Like an ocean-soaked lime-in-brine over driftwood. Additional smells of lychee and ginkgo emerge with added depth and dried bamboo scents. The palate has sprouted green olive and caper notes. Still alive and staying there. #pouillyfuissé

Crisp, cool, super ripe bing cherries, red licorice and the savory burnt corner of the bread on the nose. Tastes like raspberry and red current jam between two slices of thin toasted driftwood. Friendly acidity and satiny tannins that stick around. Paired excellently with ribs. — 7 years ago

Outstanding. Inky and concentrated. We had this one with beautiful steaks. This drinks very well at such a young age but would certainly evolve further. Soft char on driftwood leftover from a hot campfire. — 8 years ago

Singularity Imperial Russian Stout, Victoria BC. Infinite density for sure! 14.6 alcohol and about the extract-iest beer I've ever tasted. Stomps on Bigfoot. Milk chocolate, cacao nibs and hint smokey in the mouth. Dense, roasted and massive, maintains balance by being mostly dry, but alcohol gives it breadth and sweetness. Pretty amazing over the top beer! — 8 years ago

Dense, a deep crimson with a solid core - it looks less than half its age(!); incredibly distinctive (unmistakeable) nose of driftwood bonfires, sweaty leather bike-saddles and tarmacadam, cedar, Trinidad tobacco - never mind the palette, the NOSE lasts for 30 seconds AFTER you've put down the glass. It's still lightly tannic - not ambivalently, but elusively complex, and forcefully insistent. This has truly cemented me as an Haut-Brion convert. I cannot imagine a greater expression of the Graves. Utterly sensational - though after an hour and a half it started revealing a hint of VA and lost an inch of its engorgement. Oh well, it's only the first of my bottles and had the lowest level by far (4.5 cm)... — 8 years ago

Crystal Clear Sangio Brick color, watery rim, cherry & coffee on the nose, black tannins and dried strawberries on the palette, slight raspberry in the finish. Perfectly good food wine, as tannins need some bitter & fatty-sweet smokey BBQ Char to dance with. Drink now (2 yrs max). Good job Driftwood...(and I'm a Californian, sshhh) — 7 years ago

Excellent bottle of Les Amoureuses. The texture is finely knit, as Les Amoureuses should be, but it's more powerful than most - not the leaner, lighter, more waifish Musigny that many of them are, but rather being much closer to Musigny itself in terms of its scale, density, and solidity as well as in some of the darker gravelly flavors that figure in. The last Amoureuses I had from Frederic Magnien (2002) was too oaky, in fact my notes say the oak totally ruined the wine. Here it is not a problem at all. The wood is still present, but it's developed and aged in much the same way that the rest of the wine ages, suggesting driftwood and some earthy decay more than the simple toastiness or sugar-and-spice of young oak. — 8 years ago

After a day trying to keep up with a 7 year old biking along the Elk River my wife and I decided to stop at the Bridge Bistro and have a sandwich and adult beverage. This IPA"Fat Tug" from Drift Wood Brewery in Victoria, BC. Is in my humble opinion the "Gold Standard" for BC IPAs. 🇨🇦🍻 — 7 years ago

Old school chardonnay, and from Margaret River no less. This is no apologies stuff, with plenty of butter and melon and oak and that golden colour that's so rare these days. It's developed nicely and certainly in its prime drinking window. — 7 years ago

My favorite out of all of MV's wines. Like The Who's Quadrophenia, it's the perfect balance of world-class song writing and simple rock n roll. Ruby garnet with aromas of black licorice, black current, cherry cola, vanilla and toffee. Refined, feminine elegance dancing around in the smooth mouthfeel, while still being full bodied with a burly and masculine richness. An assortment of cherries are on the palate, along with plums, driftwood and caraway. Finishes with a little visit from the tannin, but not overwhelming, and a higher acidity than you would expect. — 7 years ago
