Such a beautiful, balanced elixir! We may have to make the trip back just to get more from the source. — 6 years ago

When all the drink was drunk and I was sure it couldn’t get any better, John pours a dram of this elixir. Just wow. — 7 years ago

Awesome wine from @Benoit Touquette ! My first Jack Quinn wine. Elixir like. Not extracted, but the fruit is highlighted here in all aspects. Very fresh and pure (blackberry, fig, nutmeg) but a gripping finish (blueberries, brown sugar, plum tart). — 8 years ago

Not sure what the stats are on the 2014 vintage in NZ, but this one touched on elixir for me at first. It tightened up a bit with the Ramen at Kitchen Door, but I would be curious to taste past vintages, and looking forward to future releases. — 8 years ago

Liquid gold. Pears and honey infused into this golden elixir. Golden colour, delightful on the palate, almost syrupy at times, its weight lending gravitas to every sip. Delicious with grilled sea bass. Drink up! — 9 years ago

Remember life. Because; Death. Thank you for all your wine making brilliance my friend, @thesamkaplan for this luscious elixir in the form of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. We drank up with delight as we paired with a hearty carnivorous meal at Slate Restaurant Orlando. We lost ourselves in the depth of color and the over ripe fruit on the nose rolled elegantly over the palette as we chewed on the texture and chased the smooth finish with yet another sip. Cheers!!! Encore si'l vous plait! — 10 years ago

This incredibly unique semi-carbonated Lambrusco is all about Red Delicious apples. Pretty crimson murky red with a tinge of copper on the brim. It’s completely dry with a bitter note reminiscent of apple skin. Tart cranberries and spiced cherry flavors formulate into a Dr. Pepper and nutmeg elixir. So unusual and so perfect for this time of year.

And more surprises - an odd cone shaped knobless Champagne cork that requires a corkscrew. It comes wrapped in a personal paper note from the winemaker about wine quality. — 7 years ago

100% Pinot Blanc disgorged April 2016. Elixir of the Angels! Clear, bold, focused...elegance, balance and grace personified with quiet power of ripe orchard fruits. The flavor appears tsunami-like... then “poof”..it’s gone leaving you with a memory that needs another sip of reinforcement. Almost a religious experience. — 8 years ago

@delectable This is a Texan, not a Californian; Texas High Plains AVA to be exact. I'm speechless after this effort... insane character and uniqueness. Has it's own definitive style without losing the soul of Sauvignon Blanc. This is straight up radiating with energy.

My girl wanted in on this review. She's got a way with words that is one in a million 😜 So, here is our combined effort:

"Now featuring: The Green Elixir. Wisps of kiwi swiftly enter the nasal passage on command. Over-ripened sweet cantaloupe charges through leaping over fresh Bosc pears. Similar to walking through a field of freshly cut grass on a midsummer Sunday morning. Upon walking through the renewed grass, you will come across loamy soil, enveloped with sandy silt. Dandelions magically pop up along the adventurous route dancing lazily in the breeze.

Taste consistently bathes, not lingers, but bathes on the palate. Anyone ever kiss a lime rind? Experience it now with The Green Elixir. Sour, yet makes you yearn for more. Granny Smith apples frolic throughout the tastebuds. Heading towards the end of our adventure, straw begins to make an appearance and wants to join in the fun. At the peak of the completion of our endeavor, a special herb comes out to play. Lemon Basil pleasantly surprises you to make sure your finale is more than grand.

Another visit with my fav elixir/appertif A blend of grape must (chard and Savsgnin) plus eau de vie aged for 10 years. A walnut herbal oxidated slightly sweet juice that should be served chilled. One of a kind wonderful. — 10 years ago

If you could turn a red hot candy into a voluptuous cinnamon & bitter elixir, you'd have this! — 10 years ago

Wow was this good! I had this pretty soon after it was popped and it was just a powerhouse elixir of flavor. Very “iron fist in a velvet glove”. Up front, blackberry compote, shaved cocoa, and graphite. Velvet like on the palate...glides across picking up blueberry, nutmeg, currant and sweet pipe tobacco. Plenty of fruit and savory balance. I imagine this was even doing better after I left. I need to try this again! — 7 years ago

Wow! If you can imagine drinking a mountain side of flowers, pressed for a year, turned Into a wonderful elixir, then this is it. Oh, and it has a surprisingly petrol-herbaceous nose to boot. Almost effervescent in mouthfeel. Definitely worth a spin. — 8 years ago

Strega is an interesting Italian liqueur...better described below. I only sporadically enjoy it, but it's fun and tasty at each sip.

"Strega is an herbal, saffron-infused liqueur deeply tied to the secret world of witchcraft. Witches are said to convene in Benevento to perform rituals and honor Il Noce, the sacred walnut tree. (The lower part of the logo shows witches dancing with demons around Il Noce.) According to legend, Giuseppe Alberti, son of a grocer, saved a witch from falling out of a tree in the woods. In gratitude, she gave him the recipe for an elixir, which the Alberti family began selling in 1860, perhaps as a curative or restorative.

The liqueur's proprietary recipe is a mix of 70 herbs and spices which include Ceylon cinnamon, Florentine iris, Italian Apennine juniper, Samnite mint, fennel, and saffron. Saffron is the key to Strega's signature yellow color and it shares the spotlight with mint and juniper as the most pronounced flavors within the herbal mixture." — 8 years ago

Refreshing with hints of peaches, apricots, and play doh. Makes me feel 12 again, carefree, slightly flushed, and vibrant. Nothing can beat a $13 bottle of youth elixir. — 9 years ago

Let this one breathe for an hour or more. Incredible bouquet is followed up with a beautifully well balanced elixir. Exceptional for the price point. — 10 years ago
