"Mahi is long enough for real substance without that awful syrupy quality so common in other whites. There's a note in there that some describe is funk, but we'd call grassy." According to Karen MacNeil "New Zealand Sauvignon blancs have no parallel in the world." — 4 years ago

Now this is some really good PN. Bright cherries laced in minerality, and floral fragrances as if walking through a rose garden that is planted parallel with a road that’s just had fresh asphalt applied. Perfumed yet damp and earthy. Love the back-label note:

“The best of our barrels comes to you in this very limited bottling. It is comprised entirely from our Ribbon Ridge vineyard’s sweet spot, all from Clone 667. Named in honor of an Oregon Trail pioneer, this is a wine that could stand up to such a journey.” — 6 years ago

Fantastic stuff, although he is pricy overall for the quality. Aside from that, it embodied the standard terrior of Oregon wine with a distant parallel to Burgundy. Soft elegant fruit, aromas of fresh grated nutmeg and underbrush, with a very present pepper/clove spice to the finish. — 7 years ago

Valpolicella, or "valley of many cellars" is an area crossed from north to south by a series of hills, which in succession form three parallel valleys. Dark red with aromas of black and red fruits and spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with cacao notes and oven spices. Soft smooth tannins well balanced with acidity on a long finish. — 8 years ago

10 in 19. Still wonderfully integrated. Restrained and elegant, was shocked that it was 14.9 abv. Tobacco. Red savory fruit. Medium-full. — 5 years ago

Not an Alsatian gewurz but really nice. Doesn't have the oily mouth feel or the long finish. It's a new world wine. Great flavour, peachy, fruity with lemon finish. — 5 years ago

As I continue my never-ending and tireless search for the perfect “10” of IPAs a friend recommended that I try this one. The “Filthy Dirty” IPA from Parallel 49 Brewing Company, Vancouver BC, although not the perfect “10” it certainly ranks in the top tier of great IPAs. With its crisp mouth feel, hints of fruit and clean clarity on your palate this Canadian is a hops lover’s delight. Oh with so many great IPAs to taste and so little time, I need help.

A bout between 2013 Washington Syrahs for a New Years celebration. K Vintners Motor City Kitty vs Gramercy Forgotten Hills. When comparing these two, I can't help but think of the show Stranger Things. These two wines are parallel universes, and it starts with the color. The MCK is a dark, deep purple, while he FH is medium purple. On the nose, the MCK gives dark red fruit and a dirty, spicy note as if you just went out to the garden and picked a jalapeño, some cilantro, celery and grabbed a handful of black raspberry and a plum and rubbed them all in your hand. The FH on the other hand is fresh and vibrant with red fruit, cured meats and savory herbs. On the palate, MCK has pruney raspberry, plum skin, with pepper and earth greenness. The FH has bright red fruits - strawberries, raspberries wrapped in plum skin with a dash of pepper and tar - with medium plus acid and great grip. Depending on you mood or palate, if you're in a mood for a dark, dirty Syrah go for the MCK, and a bright fresher Syrah for FH. Both great! — 7 years ago

Penultimate bottle from a case of 12, bottle variation is crazy. Where the last was quite mature, this seemed just bottled, almost parallel to the ‘07 open beside it. Dry and laden with dark chocolate, black currant and baking spice. Had a Bordeaux vibe the ‘07 didn’t. Beautiful. — 5 years ago

I am imagining my dear Mother's disapproval of the name as she was always a proper lady.

This is a very smooth, yet crisp citrus flavored beer.

2007 Summum Chardonnay out of magnum, another Oregon wine that put me on the path to where I am today. Never forget opening this for a woman in Aspen and being so stoked that she hated it so we could drink it all night long. Tasted side by side with the 2015 out of Magnum, tale of two polar opposite vintages. Not a total parallel because the vineyard selection and plantings were different for the bottlings. The 07 is incredible, still young, still has life in front of it, not showing any signs of oxidation. This is benchmark Chardonnay for anywhere in the world, not just Oregon or the new world, as good as it gets. If you’re in the valley for a few days, Evening Land will dig these out of storage for you, they aren’t cheap but worth every penny if you Love Chardonnay. — 6 years ago

Finest Hungarian #wine I've had. @KNWWines Nagy Eged was #Excellence.

Incredibly chalky. Fine earth running parallel. Dense.

Opens up nicely. Tannins get superfine. Smokey raspberry, high acid. Focused elegant black raspberry finish. The cork would parrish before the wine would. We needed #food for this. — 8 years ago
