Holy cow! What a huge CM more like Grand Cru Montrachet than 1er. Big bold no lingering oak golden in color multi layered. — 8 years ago

Tasty light everyday wine. Cherry cow pie on nose. Low alcohol, good acidity and fresh fruit. Drinks a bit like Beaujolais Villages. — 9 years ago

Mid to light body, with dry, acidic fruit. "Dusty" feels like the word of the day. Paired well with a fresh ragu, and would go with anything from a heavier cream sauce to a rare slab of cow. — 9 years ago

I enjoyed tasting and selected TOASTED COW at Oak Knoll vine yards where my host family took me. I learned this name of the wine is very famous among local people. Mostly I prefer dry to sweet, but this a little bit sweet, but light and good aroma taste so good.

Recommend pairing with our cow tongue and truffles. Bright, acidic body with candied red berries. Likened to Banfi's Brunellos. Serralunga is gorgeous. — 6 years ago

A Wisconsin favorite, cloudy ale, with a thick frothy head. Its premium priced, perhaps overly priced, but it seems to sell well at any price.

Im looking for thirsty beer drinkers . We have to finish the 1/4 barrel from last nights party. — 7 years ago

I meet with a lot of wineries that talk about being bio-dynamic. However, none of them are more passionate about this practice than Rippon. They love talking about it with great passion and truly walk the talk. In the photos are a huge pile of cow dung, stems, dropped fruits etc.. It all goes back into the vineyard to nourish the vines. The fruit to make "The Mature" comes from the Emma's and Tinker's vineyard. On the nose, light red fruits, beautiful fresh red florals and light spice. The palate is medium bodied with lean fruits of; dark cherries, plum, strawberries, raspberries, black berries, warm spices, bright red roses, gritty minerals, fine chalkiness, beautiful acidity and a well polished finish. Additional photo of their Cellar Door grounds. — 9 years ago

GW tasting 9/28/16. Nose that's complex and looked the 2000 but more floral behind the oxidation. Really nice on palate and lonely and still very fresh even at this age. Amazing. Good finish with minerals coming through behind the fruit. — 9 years ago

Holy cow! Beats the tar out of any white Chateauneuf du Pape I've ever had! White peach, some funky tropical fruit I can't quite place, then petrol, llicorella, a hint of oak and a honey finish. Probably the best white I've had all year! — 9 years ago

Purple Cow's 2012 off-dry Muscat provides just enough sweet. At 1.9% residual sugar, you can really taste the essence of the Muscat grapes. This wine is excellent with hard, white cheeses such as Parmesan or Asiago. — 10 years ago

Wish I held onto this longer! Great bottle, honey, apricot, and well balanced sugars. Enjoyed with a cheese board that leaned towards pungent salty Stilton and Valdeon and earthy raw raw cow varieties. — 10 years ago
