Fork In The Road (artisan Wine Co)

Masottina

Collezione 96 Brut Prosecco

Best Prosecco I’ve had in the U.S. so far!
Not bitter. Was really happy with it. From Wegmans - $13 - inaugural Fork in the Road. This should be a go-to!!

Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales

Co-operation Ale

Fantastic new sour from Jolly Pumpkin (new for me, anyway). This is a collaboration between JP and Baston Brewery, it’s a blend of JP’s La Roja and Baston’s Nectar Des Dieux Triple. Super complex with layers of molasses, brown sugar, chocolate, but also the acidity of La Roja. One of the most interesting JPs I’ve had in a while. — 2 years ago

This is one of the best J.P. beers I've had. Excellent collaborative effort!

Road 31 Wine Co.

Napa Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Enjoyed this wine at Blind Dog in Park City. Outstanding Pinot Noir. Fruity and smooth. Only 32 barrels made so may not be easy to find, but if you find it, buy it! — 4 years ago

Forty Nine North (Artisan Wine Co)

Okanagan Valley Red Blend 2017

Medium purple in color; black cherries, plums, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry jam, crushed gravel, and licorice with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok with food. — 7 months ago

Torbreck Vintners

Descendant Barossa Valley Shiraz Viognier 2005


From the winery: "This single vineyard wine, located next to our winery block on Roennfeldt Road, was planted by Dave Powell in 1994 with cuttings off old RunRig vineyards - some of the oldest genetic material in Australia. The Barossa's first co-fermented Shiraz/Viognier, Descendant has been joined by many more in the last couple of years - a testament to its success. Shiraz is crushed straight on top of Viognier, which has been lightly pressed for RunRig. The blend of fruit is then co-fermented and later the wine is matured for 18 months in barrels that had been previously used for RunRig. The deep red clay soils in this vineyard produce fruit which is very savory, textured and rich, a satin-like texture and a glorious perfume. Of all the Torbreck releases this is one that really needs patience. Its immediate charm can be enjoyed upon release with a few hours breathing, but after the first 6 months, the rest should be locked away for at least 5 years."

2.9" of rain here in the last 24h, enough for now please.

Rôtie Cellars

Northern Blend Walla Walla Valley Syrah Viognier 2016

Road tar, smoked black fruits, green olive, and loads of meaty, gamey notes emerge from the 2016 Northern Blend, which is 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier that was co-fermented and aged in used barrels. This big, sexy, exotic effort just screams Syrah and is full-bodied, has terrific depth of fruit, polished tannins, and just overflowing amounts of character and charm. Drink it any time over the coming decade or so.
Jebs review, can’t disagree. Great for $30.00

I agree. Great Syrah

Matchbook Wine Co.

Tinto Rey Dunnigan Hills Tempranillo Blend 2018

63% Temp, 17% Petite Verdot, 10% Graciano, 9% Tannat. Dark color. Almost black in low light. Aromas of smoke, cherry cobbler and licorice root. Maybe slight petrichor. Flavors are nice. Dense and fruit driven. Cherry pits and licorice chews (the Dutch salty, fruit flavored kind). Hint of herbal backbone (sage and basil meet mint and marjoram). For its fairly low price (think this was $12.99) this is a great CA wine. Restrained but big. Fruity but balanced. Fun but elegant. And it’s from just up da road! Nice work neighbors. — 2 years ago

Independence Inc.

Vino dal Bosco Baer Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2019

Note: this is for the NO SULFITE ADDED “Vino dal Bosco” build using fruit from Baer Ridge Vyd in Rockingham Co. — deep, mouthfillingly dense, yet LOW tannin Purity Bomb. Spectacular with pizza or chili… Pure heavy-extraction bliss from a HUGE VINTAGE. STEWED cherries and Colombian coffee. 20$ at Wegmans in Cville. Spectacular artisan build :) — 3 years ago

Rocky Mountain Vineyards

Road Kill Red Red Blend 2018

A fun semi sweet table wine. Goes down easily. Even the bottle is fun - red!
A note: it is produced in Palisade, CO not in CA as listed on the front page.

Bedrock Wine Co.

Schmiedt Road Lodi Zinfandel 2015

Couldn’t get over how pretty and light on its feet this Zin was. Looks like Nebbiolo in the glass. Sour cherry, dried herbs and flowers, mesquite smoke, sourdough yeast on the finish. Worthy accompaniment to some top tier bbq brisket by @Steven Perlman — 5 years ago
