Really dark fruit and a splash of mint. To quote Led Zeppelin and the legendary @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego , you gotta whole lotta oak, you gotta whole lotta oak 🎶

2016 vintage. Mount Eden Vineyards wine dinner @Mister A’s Restaurant-San Diego. Decanted and tasted after opening and after 4hrs. Opening notes showing the baker’s pantry and a distinctive, crumbled Graham cracker vibe along with plenty of baby fat and meandering. Fast forward four hours…wine had dropped all the above and gained actual structure along with some richness, cinnamon (more the heat than the flavor) and darker fruit components. Still needs a decade plus but coming along and all the building blocks are slowly being laid in place. A small chance this wine is the best Cabernet JP has ever made. Have had more than a few (including the Old Vine Reserve (that 1991 tho, 1990 didn't suffer either)-no longer made-through the '90's) in the 90’s and 00’s laying down defined, kick-*ss parameters. 4.20.23. — 3 years ago

Very interesting, kind of a peanut M&M’s taste, in a good way, definitely singular. A great melted real juice popsicle taste and feel — 7 years ago

Very good West Coast New England style IPA that has good depth, blood orange notes and a touch of pine. — 8 years ago

Love it. Super aromatic and tropical on the nose. Peaches, mango, and apricots. But none of that fruit comes through on the palate. More grapefruit, super minerally, lots of sediment and funk. Bone dry. — 10 years ago

Perfect wine to open the palate and the appetite. Compliments of @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego. Cheers to drinking with friends I’ve made on @Bev Delectable. — a year ago

Dark purple in color with a purplish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Smooth and elegant.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward.

Showing blackberries, cooked plums, spices, light oak, licorice, herbs, light black tea and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cranberries.

This 5 year old Syrah from San Diego County is drinking very nicely. Peaking now. Spicy, tangy and interesting.

Needs 30 minutes to open up properly and remove some of the acidity.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

Aged in French oak barrels for 20 months. A tiny production of only about 250 bottles.

90 points.

$30. — 3 years ago

The current West Coast IPA standard. Consistently fantastic in the 16oz can but catching it on draft at one of the various Pizza Port properties takes it up just a notch with slightly less dank and super clean high notes on the initial draw. Essential San Diego County brewha. — 5 years ago

For the Sour Wench: EXCELLENT blackberry beer. It's sour up front, tart blackberry finish. One of my favorite breweries- and one of my new favorites by them. — 9 years ago

Once only a draft release, now it bottles, hands down one of the best brown ales in the world, perfect in the style, roasted, toasted malts, nutty and very smooth, not over sweet, coffee and chocolate notes, but in the style, so not like a porter, easy drinking, very easy to session, if you are fan of this style, like New Castle, this is far superior — 10 years ago

At Coci Northpark San Diego. The wine. Food excellent. Very very difficult to evaluate. I think they used too much oak on this. Ridiculous big and tannic even after 12 years. And after 90 minutes. I tough it is corked at first and even at 60min. Tobacco, cigar box. Touch cherry hint of prune plum. And better with a t-bone than with the light Italian food.I think they really overdid it to please - May be Robert Parker - at the time? Give it at least 2 hours to breathe before serving!!!! — a year ago

2022 vintage. @ Mister A’s Restaurant, San Diego-Les Caves de St. Charles CDP dinner. 100% Roussanne-driven. Initial mineral indication of interest, broad mid-palate transition, yang-styled, white grape “fat” on the judiciously-honeyed finish. Wowzers. Grab you some if you can find it. 95 cases produced. Good luck with that. 11.16.23. — 3 years ago

Los Pilares San Diego County Red Blend 2013: Fresh. Natural. Extraordinary. Consisting of 50% Grenache & 50% Carignan, this was a light-bodied, extremely unique wine. Red fruits (cranberry & cherry). Plum. Earth. Short finish. For me, the wine was a bit thin on structure but very clean & natural tasting. This was my first San Diego County wine and it left me quite intrigued & impressed. Hoping to explore other San Diego wines in the near future. Cheers🍷 — 5 years ago

Surprisingly, I kinda liked this despite my aversion to overly-hopped beers. The nose is a straight up hop-bomb - floral, citrusy, piney. The palate's also full-on, with heaps of hoppy bitterness, but balanced by malty sweetness and tropical fruit notes (passionfruit and mango for me). Finishes crisp and earthy. Not bad, but not my kind of beer (not an IPA fan basically). — 7 years ago

Great barrel aged sour beer! I really dig the way oak aging softens the usually hard bite of a sour brew. — 7 years ago

At $15.95 a well balanced pizza and burger wine with some sense of local (for us in San Diego). 50% Barbera, 30% Tempranillo, 20% Shiraz (not Syrah). — 9 years ago
