Mystic 'Everyday Saison'. Chelsea Mass. Retrieved from my Boston trip as a beer that would suit my palate. Great suggestion. Not many Saisons can be called session. But this one is both top-ferments fruity/baking spice, good depth, but also nervey and bright at only 4.3%. Crafty as f@ck. More Duvel than Petrus, just hidden in a supermodel's body — 9 years ago
A lovely buttery and mildly acidic white with hints of stone fruit and oak. Perfect for the spring/summer and would pair so so nice with mussels or a cheese plate — 9 years ago

Funky, dirty, meaty nose, drinking stones of the earth. Purple and black fruit from some overgrown long forgotten mystic garden. Extended finish like another round of applause. — 10 years ago
Almost a perfect sangiovese rosè by Il Palazzino from Monti in Chianti, one of my favorite vineyards around, such a mystic spot! Fruity crisp choice and... finished too quickly! — 10 years ago
This is the Beerenauslese. Had the Spat 76 as well and the difference is sticking alto ugh there is a similar profile and backbone. A very intriguing and mystic tea like nose, melted with quince jam, cinnamon and confit orange peel. A lifetime experience — 10 years ago

If you are going to go all the way to Mystic Connecticut to have a California Chard, it might as well be Kistler--but you may want a pizza to go with it. — 9 years ago

The best kind of Riesling. Not too sweet but has floral notes. And I like the twist cap so it stays fresher. — 10 years ago
Giovanna Morganti: Podere Le Boncie. She's a fine and set apart winemaker in San Felice/Castelnuovo Berardenga. Her house is the cellar, her mystic garden the vineyard where she does home-grown her own sangiovese grapes and few others local vine variety (mammolo foglia-tonda colorino canaiolo) allowed in the Chianti Classico Appellation, with such a filial piety and discipline as they were kids in a kindergarden. "Le Trame" is the name of her A rated eldest child, a magnificent utterance of Tuscany through the wine. Here's instead, her declassified sangiovese under the IGT umbrella (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) called simply, 5 - with a touch of self-irony - which in terms of grades at the School would be C or D. I do adore this "slacker" and strapping "5" for the harshness sour inborn at the wine, a spontaneous expression of a very acidic and stoney soil too! — 10 years ago
By the first time since I saw Cerretalto the vineyard with my eyes, I felt in love with the wine: a mystic core which pour out from that ferrous almost mulberry soil brushed by a gentle breeze that blow through the hills of Val d'Orcia; sober, clear, severe, tidy wine a generous and enduring expression of that certain land. — 11 years ago
Wine in the room of the Mystic Hotel in SF. Paige and I bought package at an auction. Two night stay with dinner at Burritt Tavern — 12 years ago
Way better than expected. The malty, tight finish makes it taste like a fun herbal beer versus fernet shots dropped in a bock. — 8 years ago
Somewhere between shoe polish and prunes on the nose with a streak of smoky allspice and juniper. Sarsaparilla tar, roasted eggplant skin, oregano, burnt corn, cat bed, wet leather, black beans, burnt coffe and cigar ends. Coffee-rootbeer, black pepper, black mushroom, and eel. Sleek and nuanced, but a mistress of epic proportion. #dankdark #bellsbrewery #neptune — 9 years ago
She catches the eye slim with dreamy curves, darkly dressed complimented by earth-toned loosely falling ribbons. Gripping her firmly with one hand sliding finding her neck the other slowly pulling her upward she opens wet and her pale gold to yellow juice easily pours lightly, rhythmically dancing, ebbing and flowing revealing a subtle essence of ripe peach and flower petals against moist grass and wet stone, then she lunges spilling across your lips leisurely coating your mouth front to back with an orange essence her tannins gently grip, then she slowly slips on and away, "into the mystic..." and you wonder , will she come again...?
PS: particularly good with fresh whole slightly crispy sardines, cherry tomatoes and chilled organic cucumber all sprinkled with hot Hungarian paprika... — 9 years ago

Killer saison that focuses on the varying effects of yeast versus hops or malt. The latter two remain constant. — 11 years ago
