Reign Wine

Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan (Weihenstephaner)

Festbier

Says in the bible: dark cometh and the yeast shall reign! Who knew it be in time for Oktoberfest? Honey bread!! Indian gum, spearmint, admittedly pretzel, but this one is crisp, and the raw yeast keeps it unique. Streaky lacing that would make Barnett Newman proud! Yeast coated granite, leads to dried potato skin, white pine, balsa, and a cedar-dry finish that borders on polystyrene, albeit with a breadfruit herbaceous characteristic, great fest beer! — 10 years ago

Viñedos Errázuriz Ovalle

Reserva Santa Ana Vineyard Carmenère 2013

This is a fantastic $10 bottle of wine. Our wine tastes have been seeing us venture well into $20 bottles for an average night. Reign it in and buy this. It's big and the spice lingers. Sweetness is up front and dissipates quickly to not longer on the tongue. There is a unique bitterness that I like. — 10 years ago

Bergström Wines

Cumberland Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2011

Still a little closed, but heavy on the nose with black pepper and fresh cherries, with hints of floral and savory. Cranberries and cherries reign on the palate with great acidity and umami throughout. Hints of cocoa on the backend and a finish that goes. Could use some time, but still enjoyable! From a demi-bottle. — 10 years ago

Remains one of the most extraordinary Pinot Noirs for the money. Perhaps not as flinty and ashy as the 07, but earthiness and minerality and just a hint of fruit still reign. — 12 years ago

SP68 Bianco Terre Siciliane Albanello Muscat of Alexandria 2011

And orange shall reign supreme. So says the orange man. Very solid orange wine. Not as big and complex as others. Lighter, crispy, not as orange as I'd want it either. Like just barely there on the color scale. Great on a hot day! — 10 years ago
