Riding out the evening with an old school second label Cab. Massive new world fruit replaced with fresh herbs and olive tapenade. My wife puckered after the pedigree of the earlier wines lol. I'll take the change of pace. — 9 years ago

Black Forest Distillers

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin

Monkey 47 Dry Distiller Gin. Slightly hazy, water white, colourless. Pronounced intensity of perfume, juniper, lingonberry, violets, lavender, orange and grapefruit zest. With water added, more perfume and citrus notes to the fore. Dry on the palate. Warming alcohol, medium body, pronounced flavour intensity. Long finish. Very complex. Outstanding example of a premium gin. — 10 years ago

Funky monkey when opened, but gave way to roasted dark fruits, maple and campfire after decanting. Much fresher than expected on palate-pleasantly surprised — 11 years ago

Vigna del Fiore Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Sangiovese 2004

A little bricking, but not to worry, it is fantastic! A beautiful floral nose riding over just-resolved tannins. No decant, but it could probably benefit from an hour or so — 7 years ago

Woot Cellars

Monkey 2nd Prize Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

In my opinion, the lower ratings are probably caused by not holding the wine long enough. Nice wine at this point. — 8 years ago

Riesling 2015

A great surprise. Enough sweetness that I wouldn't drink without food, but it has bright citrus and pineapple with honey on the finish. Paired wonderfully with Christmas gumbo (duck, turkey and andouille). — 9 years ago

Azienda Agricola Valentini

Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 1998

Really complicated on these so suspect days, expose themselves with concepts such as: tradition, terroir, identity without falling into the most sinister rhetoric if not sounds just trite and hypocritical as the counterfeit currency with which even large-scale industries - supported by marketing - pays back its inattentive mass audience riding the wave of the country of origin or protected typicality. A diabolical mechanism this one for which even the most noble ideas probably the right practices and good experiences completed in the scale of centuries to human measure and not on massive industrial scale, are trivialized by sleazy slogan, emptied of meaning to be more or less surreptitious thanks to barbaric persuasion techniques and brain-washing propaganda.
Yet with the Valentini's Trebbiano you may not groped to summarize in words if not by drawing on terms so appropriate to express it. Now concerning this iconic label we've got behind it a local grape variety, a real family and a great wine that collect in a bottle the past and present story of a side of Abruzzo who claims to defeats victories and sacrifices to dominate the abuses (on and of) nature, miseries and splendours of agricultural seasons. Places, people, vision, wines such as Valentini are here to remind us how each bottle stay so proudly standing as non-reproducible beauty and fermented goodness expressing all its artisanal uniqueness and authenticity which are just that suspect to industrial wine production in manufacturing chains on standardized quantities; wines that are all equal to themselves even though wine itself is not much left at the end of the day/cycle. Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Valentini 1998 is what we have to rate right now: rusticity with class; style, purity and glory of a local grape recognized by many admirers from all over the world: act local think global this is another slogan-cliché which in this specific Valentini's wine exemple could sounds a little less false and more effective.

Juli Goldenberg / Stone / Monkey Paw - 24 Carrot Golden Ale

Another really well made and original Stone collaboration, this is a Belgian triple with a twist, carrot, raisins, vanilla Bean, cinnamon, but nothing over the top, just hints, delicious, but you really have like this style and appreciate the subtle hints that you get, some who reviewed this beer were disappointed that those notes described on the beer were not as much pronounced, but I think it is perfect, this is after all a Belgium triple with a slight twist, Very well done — 10 years ago

Giuseppe Quintarelli

Rosso del Bepi Veneto Corvina Blend 2002

A beautiful wine that exemplifies the pure craftsmanship of Quintarelli. The nose explodes with stewed dried berries, berry liquor and sweet oregano with dried brushy notes and chocolate riding in underneath. The palette is laced with lush berry but is accompanied with beautiful hints of hot earth and bitter cocoa. Balance, complexity, and power. — 10 years ago
