Lost Hog Lake County Zinfandel 2018

Fruit forward, jammy - little stem flavor. Lacking of sophistication. — 5 years ago

Nova Vineyards Lake County Zinfandel

Rich, well rounded wine. Black cherries and other deliciousness. — 7 years ago

Whistlepig

10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey

Intense ethyl acetate and toluene nose. Black pepper and a lot of heat. Oak finish with subtle caramel and vanilla. To be totally honest, while good, this whiskey is too bombastic and one dimensional. I think Bulleit Rye is at least as good at a quarter of the price. I look forward to trying the older Boss Hog. — 8 years ago

Fort Ross-Seaview Pinot Noir 2011

Slightly acidic and a bit higher in alcohol than the smooth jazz Sonoma bottles I'm used to, but i really enjoyed this. A hint of raspberry and forest floor. — 9 years ago

The Boss Hog Black Prince

If you can handle cask strength this is a nice one, finally opened after well over a year of buying, give it a splash of spring water

I’ve only had a couple of the Whistlepig line and both were exceptional! Don’t think I could handle too much of cask strength though before my tasting notes would diminish...

Blair Vineyards

Pinot Noir 2012

This one is a Single Varietal Pinot Noir from Richard’s Stone Hedge Vineyard. Very nice varietal expression. Aromas of Cherry Cola and Tobacco. Earthy and organic on the pallet with the fruit in the background. Hint of peppery spice and balanced oaky notes. Very Burgundian. Nice effort that is now at its peak. — 7 years ago

Ronco del Gnemiz

Sol Sauvignon 2003

A deeper dive into Friuli. Inspired by a recent article published on Punch highlighting the cellar led by Bobby Stuckey and the attention given to Friuli at Frasca. Sought this producer out and glad to find this bottling with some age (2003). I was especially curious to try these wines with food and [Hog Island] Oysters are always my preferred litmus test for expressive white wines. A fun look at Sauvignon Blanc from this region.
Would be interested to seek out the Friulano from this same producer in the future.

Hog Island Cuvée

Courtney Cochran
9.5

Diffused honeycomb, white flowers, pear skin and green apple. White peachy cool on the palate, minerality and touch of tropical fruit. Great acid, pert approach and generally beckoning for another sip. Salinity. Made for #HOGISLAND oysters - Ready! — 10 years ago
