Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)

Les Clos Cuvée Vielles Vignes Fleurie Gamay 2014

After the hype from Somm2 and good feedback from wine biz buds, my verdict is this is a very, very good Beaujolais Cru. I definitely recommend you try it if you are into Burgundy or esp Cru Bojo. My wife guessed Burgundy blind when I poured it for her. Like ripe red raspberry and bing Cherry, with a dash of roasted herbs smeared on a granite rock...yeah, literally that. The aroma is a perfume of red fruits caught in a tug of war with a granite rock-like minerality and roasted herbs and forest floor. The palate is dead sexy, juicy and sappy fruit and acidity, with a perfect balance and elegance that feels weightless. Thanks for the enlightenment @Jason Wise and @Brian McClintic! Now I can add #dutraive to my faves from #beaujolais like #lapierre #thivin #foillard #sunier #thevenet — 9 years ago

Despres also had a quick appearance in the film and is very good as well.

And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment—don’t lecture me about the war, you didn’t fight in it. You think I’m frightened of you man? We almost died in the trench while you were off gettin’ high with the French! — 9 years ago

Illumination Farmhouse IPA #2

Lighter than a traditional IPA but quite lovely. Oily head, apricot and grapefruit notes. Zero pine, thankfully. Kind of like a hoppy, crafty Sankatay lager but better if that makes sense. — 12 years ago

Maple Wine

Joe Carroll
9.8

Smells like a combination of maple, almonds and decaying leaves. It's bone dry but has all of the maple flavors intact but it's yeasty dryness makes it drink like the most complex white port I've ever had. — 9 years ago

Enlightenment Wines has been around for close to a decade. They are micro batches that have been produced by a guy in Williamsburg at a small studio upstate New York. A couple of months ago they opened a meadery (Enlightenment Wines) and tasting room/cocktail bar (Honey's) in Brooklyn. Much of what Raphael makes is based on Honey but he does a bunch of other unusual things like this bone dry maple wine and a dandelion wine. They are some of the most unique, well crafted fermented beverage I've had.

Very raisin in light vinaigrette, with a hoisin edge, bitter citrus and lemongrass. Light-bodied with mineral buoyancy, and a marinated raisin and mushroom. — 10 years ago
