Cariola Erbaluce di Caluso

A rare find and so welcome. Aroma of stewed pears and cloves, palate is all bruised fruit with lemon curd and caramel, finish is long and thirst quenching because the acid rings clear. More like these on lists please! — 8 years ago

Bruliam Wines

Bu Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir

A savory California Pinot, which seems rare to find these days. A touch of VA gives the wine a sour cranberry note, raspberries, dried flowers and pomegranate. — 6 years ago

Oude Kriek Lambic

Hmmm. Interesting. Not my kind of drink, but it offers complexity. Great with fried chicken 😋 B&S write-up:

This oddity of a kriek beer is rare indeed, for not only is it from one of Flanders’ original lambic breweries, it’s also made from a near-extinct sour cherry from the town of Schaerbeek. Historically nicknamed the “city of donkeys”, as donkey-drawn carts used to transport this rare Belgian varietal of sour Morello cherries, the prized fruit contains a level of depth, power and concentrated tartness which is about as close to an expression of terroir as you can find in beer.

Here, 25% old lambic beer is blended with 75% young lambic beer (made with whole handpicked Schaerbeekse cherries), before conditioning in bottle. It’s a rather straightforward process but proves to be genius – bold notes of dark berries, cherries, citrus, earth and almonds are just the beginning with this captivating offering – pour it into a big wine glass for a special taste of oude school authenticity.

Caravina Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Holly Orchard
9.0

It is Cabernets like this that remind me that the 2011 vintage should not be automatically dismissed as being too cool or problematic. There are definitely herbal notes, and some noticeable bell pepper, but not "greeness" per se. It had a surprising amount of blue and dark fruit at the backend, finishing with some earthiness, sweet tobacco, and some oak. It had a good amount of acid (considering it is a California Cabernet), which made it very food friendly with the skirt steak and chimichurri sauce. There are great values to be found from the 2011 vintage. This would be one of them! It is rare to find a nicely balanced cab with decent acid at this price point. I would go ahead and drink it now and not hold onto it for too long, as I'm not sure it would evolve much, but is very good right now. — 9 years ago

Raidis Estate

Billy Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Totally agree with the high ratings from others.
Dirt cheap from K&L wines. Dark berries - black currants and blackberries. Plenty of acid. Tons of tannins so decant for a while this wine ROCKS 🌈. High score its very rare to find this kind of quality at this $. 💥 may be 1 in 100.
