Gundlach Bundschu

Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

You can taste the sulfur and obtrusive igneous rocks that laid the foundation for the Gundlach Bundschu winery in Sonoma. Love how you are practically drinking dirt and rocks. Highly recommend. — 10 years ago

Willett Distillery

White Oak Barrel Aged 3 Years Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey

Warm vanilla and sherry trifle notes bordering on sponge cake with candied orange peel and cloves, as well as caramel apple, baked pear, baklava and bahri dates in this nose-feast. Hot entry with heavy oak that bites like a thorny rose stem, burnt brittle, toasted black sesame, leather whips, black pepper, vanilla bean, cedar, spicy tobacco with a squirt of grape seed extract, lingers on an wooden point that suggests cypress, but my mind returns to lac and wood stain, if they were edibles. There is also an igneous quality to the whole. The wooden Arrow of rye whiskey: Hot hot hot! #Willet #whiskey #whisky #rye #ryewhiskey #rarewhisky #barrel — 8 years ago

Contadino Terre Siciliane Rosso Red Blend 2015

Enchanting wine. Super appealing and unique aroma, raspberry and strawberry with a funky fermented edge, almost like a Belgian sour beer. Taste is ripe red fruit, crushed igneous rocks, great acidity, kind of light body and finish. #supercrushable — 9 years ago

Gulfi

NeroJbleo Nero d'Avola 2012

I've not yet been to Sicily, but this wine almost whisks me away. Beautiful juice, dark red & blue fruits, baking spice, lots of flowers and igneous rock on the nose and finish...in between is a savory complexity. Beguiling and satisfying. — 9 years ago

Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese Riesling *** 2001

Smoky lime eclipses smoked apple and baked pear, with a nod to buttered rum, palm leaf, and lemon pudding and of course the whiff of petrol. Apple jolly rancher memories and lemon intimations of spiced tea with strong lemon, cinnamon sticks and clove that morph into violently formed, but arabesque igneous rock and dried field mushroom. As bright and shiny as Christmastide! — 9 years ago
