One Eyed Spirits

E. Guigal

Côtes du Rhône Rosé Blend

I haven’t had a French love affair in awhile, but here I find myself again. The sound outside of the “gite” window during the afternoon sojourn of me and “x” Frenchman is one of honey bees flitting from the stamen to stigma of strawberry plants, impregnating rosettes to guarantee me even more days of oenophilic passion. (D, the husband I briefly forgot about, indicates he bought this at Cambridge Wine & Spirits). — 7 years ago

Dominus Estate

Napanook Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1991

There have only been 3 wines that made me a little teary eyed and I am proud to add this one to the list. On the nose it’s like you’re stuck in a Cuban cigar box, bing cherry, freshly tanned leather, tobacco. Red currant, ripe cherry, this wine sneaks up on you and then boooooooom you time travel to an old barn, smokiness, wet hay, dark chocolate finish. The tannins could not be better. A quick tartness then a very mellow finish. The finish lasts for 5+ minutes. I honestly don’t know how to give this wine its proper recognition. Such an amazing piece of Napa history.

I am so honored to have shared this with @Arden Barnett. What a bottle. The first thing I noticed off this wine was the color. The 1991 had an amazing rim of light brown, bleeding into a dark ruby in the center. Clearly cellared and cared for properly. The nose hit me with a light milk chocolate covered cherry then a full scent of cigar box, black licorice and leather. The wines finesse on the palate was even more impressive. BlackBerry, overripe cherry and red currant overwhelmed my senses and the tannic structure could not have been more perfect. Unbelievable wine with great company. Thank you @Arden Barnett for opening this up.

Botanivore Gin

This stuff is good, flowery and smooth - had it with ice! Got a taste of another one of their gins - flowery with a pine resin Christmas feel to it - didn’t catch the name though. — 7 years ago

Columbia Valley Merlot 2016

After a painful night of passing a kidney stone then having to make the difficult decision to put down one of my cats I needed a good wine tonight. This Merlot is full of flavor, full bodied and out of this world. I really need this tonight. Not a good day 😪 R.I.P. sweet little one eyed kitty — 7 years ago

Gigglepot Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

The cabernet cousin to one of my favorites. First time I have seen this. In the house style of big extracted fruit, supple tannins, and high but well hidden ABV. Would seek out again but if not there is always Blue Eyed Boy. — 8 years ago

Lagunitas Brewing Company

Lucky 13 Red Ale

Lagunitas crushed it with this Red. Before I got into IPAs, ambers were my thing. This one is off the charts good. If you are a big Fat Tire fan, you may not appreciate the higher IBUs and ABV. If you are someone who likes both IPAs and Ambers, you're going to friggin love this. Makes me teary eyed to think this is a limited release and yet Buttweiper continues to exist. — 9 years ago

Hefeabzug Wachau Grüner Veltliner

If you know me you know that my first love is Austrian hard bodies. A close secon, and one that shares many traits is this Grüner Veltliner from the venerable Wachau region. This wine is similar to those blonde haired blue eyed beauties. It's youthful and refreshing. With a huge mineral back bone that is synonymous with the the Wachau region. In addition you get some lime notes with the iconic white pepper finish. This is a wine to write home about. Just like an Austrian fräulien, the deeper you go, the better it gets. — 10 years ago

With the "Perpetuam" special release around the corner, I felt like a dram of one of the previous special releases. The older spirits and Sherry oak do not tame this Ardbeg, but do balance its feral smoke and iodine. Great on the rocks on a warm California evening. — 11 years ago
