Krebs Brewing Co.
Prairie Artisan Ales Merica Farmhouse Ale
Just the right amount of funk - it is funky. A healthy amount of hops works to balance out the funk, not too avante-garde, a bit like a good jazz track. Something I'd love to drink again. — 10 years ago
Prager Winery and Port Works
Noble Companion 10-Year-Old Tawny Port
Nutty, orange rind, and chocolate. M+ acid and M sweetness. M+ intensity. On the palate, raisin, dried fruit, cherry, caramel and orange. Long finish. — 10 years ago

Territorial Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout 2016
Nice fresh hoppy / pine scented nose. Massively tropical fruited palate of pineapple and coconut. All tied together with a nice but not overdone malty backbone. Probably the best, most complex beer Coop has produced. — 10 years ago
St. Bernardus
Pater 6 2016
Darkest brown patched with bubbles as lichens. Magnificent and noble head of sable; loose cartography of lacing. Brown sugar, dark, grainy malt and leather that all turns smoky with a swirl. Dry tobacco whiffs and roasted beets and grilled sprouts and caramelized onion. Light of touch in autumn woods, with applewood, cedar and late afternoon shadows of vanilla bean, caramel thread counts, clove smoke, and light malts to nicely bundle and button the parcel. These perfumes of devotion are lifted on wildflower scrub. #trappist #trappisten #stbernarduspster6 #abbeyale #peter6 #belgianbeer #bier #biere #birra #ale #brstbdrnard — 6 years ago

Brewery Ommegang
Three Philosophers Quadrupel Ale
Dang!!.. Is the best way to describe while in Houston I guess. Stupid pricey at $15usd for 750ml, but almost worth it. The cherry is very much present, but is not overwhelming and totally works. 9.7% — 10 years ago

Alpha Hive Double IPA
Super fresh. Canned 24 hours ago. Massive fresh hoppy nose. Sticky, resiny hops flavor with a slight hint of the honey that cuts the bitterness perfectly. — 10 years ago
Russian River Brewing Company
Redemption Blonde Ale
Nose is pear, lemon peel, floral hops, and a touch of Belgian yeast clove and fennel. Quite pretty.
Quite a lot of hops on the palate which mostly come across as the noble, floral type. A bit of ester comes in mid way and finish is super dry with a touch of spice and mild bitterness. Great creamy mousse on the mouthfeel with a touch of astringency.
Very dry quaffer that would be great with mild cheese or salad. Hoppier and less yeasty than I remember, but that's the RR way. — 7 years ago

Other Half Brewing Co.
Oh... Double Dry Hopped India Pale Ale
The Other Half's Oh... Double IPA is extraordinary. Perfect almost Zen like balance, rich and juicy yet not at all heavy - the 6% alcohol content is exactly right in my view. From the brewery's website: "Double dry hopped IPA w / citra, galaxy, motueka + citra lupulin powder". Not quite the ideal of water, hops, barley and yeast, but it works so very well. Here's some context: The Other Half is a brewery in Red Hook, Brooklyn that is, in my opinion, making the best beers in the New England (juicy) IPA style. This type of beer has become popular recently and rightly as done well they are both complex and approachable. Recently The Other Half took over a bar in Manhattan serving a range of their beers. The place was packed. The Other Half is so hot right now. And rightly. If you do visit the brewery, plan on doing so early in the evening if you are intending on buying cans. They sell out fast. — 8 years ago
Donnafugata
La Fuga Contessa Entellina Chardonnay 2012
Tasted October 2013
Splendid Chardonnay from Donnafugata exposing deepness of impact on your senses.
This wine debuted along with the Contessa Entellina DOC in 1994. La Fuga label express movement, sunshine and the land.
Fermented in stainless steel then aged in tanks on its noble lees for 3 months, at least 3 months more in bottles.
Powerful nose full of pineapple, banana, passionfruit, mango, scented by thyme.
Excellently balanced, medium bodied wine showing great tension between delicate minerality + refreshing acidity and tropical fruits and herbal accent.
Works perfectly with Sicilian crustaceans Kous-Kous and chicken noodle wok. — 10 years ago
Stefan Dolhain
2014 vintage. As Sauternes suffers from a lethal combination of high production costs and low demand, it is about time we all start drinking more of it. The 2014 vintage combines a lot of botrytis with high acidity resulting in beautifully balanced wines that are very attractive young but should age beautifully for decades. Rabaud Promis has a long history (a lot of it in common with Sigalas Rabaud), but has been in the hands of the Dejean family for the last 4 generations. In early 2020 Jean Merlaut (Bordeaux négociant and owner of Gruaud Larose) took a majority share in Rabaud Promis, but Thomas Dejean remains the winemaker. And to judge from this terrific effort there is indeed no reason to change the winemaker. 80% Sémillon, 16% Sauvignon blanc and 4% Muscadelle. Brilliant golden yellow. Intoxicating complex perfume of fresh and dried fruits, flowers and subtle roasted flavours combined with an amazing lemony freshness. The mouth confirms this complexity with layers of concentrated fruit, balanced by crispy acidity and a knock-out brown sugar, lemon confit and noble rot "rôti" finish. It has amazing intensity while remaining light on its feet. Fabulous value at 28 euros! Abv. 12,6%. Note: these wines are much more versatile at the table than you think. While foie gras and blue cheese are classic combinations, I tried it today with veal, sautéed carrots and mushrooms and baked potatoes. Works really well. I invite you all to experiment with the culinary possibilities of these wines. — 5 years ago
