Punta Nevada

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

Oktoberfest 2019

Toasted bread, brown bread crust, grape candy, and a leafy, herbal hop character.

Lots of toasty, bready notes with cherry/grape Jolly Rancher and an underlying metallic mineral note from the lager yeast.

Great project for SN pairing up with a different German brewer each year to come up with this. Nice to have a fresh example of this style.

Brennan Vineyards

Winemaker's Choice Nevada Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Wine from our Fredericksburg trip. From 4.0??? — 7 years ago

Punta Final

Reserva Malbec 2013

This is an excellent wine. Solid across the whole palate. Balance of red and dark fruit. It has the structure to lay and tannin to lay down for 5 more years and wonderful acids to bring a note of brightness that should also endure. — 7 years ago

Punta Crena

Pettirosso Colline Savonesi Sangiovese Blend Rosé

Best bottle to drink on the dock while fishing for fresh Dungeness crab. Super fizzy, dry, and strawberries that remind of summer sun. Love. — 8 years ago

I really enjoy the Ruffino family wines I've had, this is no different. Floral and a bit salty / grapefruit...really easy and fun frizzante

La Bota de Manzanilla Pasada Bota Punta No. 50 Sherry

Bodegas J.C. Conde

Neo Punta Esencia Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2004

This is just really well balanced. It has the acidity and tannins to run. I can't hit this with one description. Right balance. Right fruit, right must, right bite, slow oxing, will update in an hour. This one needs at least 2yrs to be epic. Save. Will be awesome in 3+. — 9 years ago
