Nice clean sweeter American whiskey ...third one that night though — 8 years ago

St. George Spirits

Botanivore Gin

My favorite gin to accompany tonic. Without a doubt more effervescent than hendrick's, but would recommend their dry gin for a gin martini. Very floral and delicious, little bit of spice. — 9 years ago

Rye Whisky

Recommended by my customer in Alabama. He said it's what they prefer drink in the South, rather than the more commercial local brands. — 10 years ago

Wiley Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009

A solid producer, vintage after vintage. This food wine is under 14% alcohol and caters to those who love new world pinot with old world sensibilities. — 10 years ago

Lindeman's

Trio St. George Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Blackberry, blackcurrent, cedar, tobacco, sweet tomato purée, liquorice and capsicum. Structure is super impressive too. Could throw down now, but they'd best be used as dust collectors for now — 10 years ago

Ridley Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

2014 vintage is a stunner. Beautiful crystalline straw color, with crisp apple aromatics and ripe peach and lemon peel on the palette. Leesy and rich without any hint of heaviness. Great lifted finish. #phillipshill is on a roll. — 10 years ago

7 Deadly Zins Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel 2011

Now this is a good Zinfandel. 15 percent alcohol, but you cannot feel much.
Smooth and not too bold. Red fruit on the nose and longer spicy finish. Long legs out of the bottle.
I need to give it an hour and see what evolves. Long, spicy finish with medium tannins.

Rating 2014 a 96 for now so the scale has somewhere to go up once it gets some age. Aromatics hit the nose with power and went down nicely. This one will be great @Bruce Phillips scary good for being this young. Cheers! — 9 years ago

@Ryan Mitchell I am a huge fan of the VHR. Such an incredibly well crafted wine. They knock it out of the park every year! I can't wait to try their 14. Great pull Paul Ryan! 👏🍷🍷👏

@Eric LaMasters this is their label before the commercial label goes on. The VHR label is one of my favorites to obsess/analyze since they put all the detail of every block of fruit within. Once you get your 2014 allocation (and yes you should) it'll have the traditional label. Mark down these blocks and the weather - truly special.

@Martin G Rivard VHR is probably my favorite. Yes, there, I said it. Can't beat the dedication to the land and every year is consistently getting better. Did drop your names to @Bruce Phillips to share some of the fun we have been having on @Delectable Wine . No shocker remembered you both @Martin G Rivard and @David A Lentine right away. Enjoy your evening. I told David next year I'll be there.
