I don't know what kind of evil voodoo sorcery is going on at Stone brewing, but these guys can't seem to put out a single bad ale. This is the most basic of their IPA selection. Very clean, simple and straightforward. No funky aftertaste and no smack you in the face crazy hoppiness. I suspect they are sacrificing chickens to some voodoo God, but I can't prove it. — 9 years ago
The very best thing to say about this Imperial oatmeal Stout, is that is so well balanced, not too much of one thing going on, the roasted and chocolate mixes well with the yeast, the oatmeal smooths out the 10% Avb and cuts the sweetness from that, not too sticky or syrupy, is it the best? No, but for a everyday Imperial Stout, is pretty good — 10 years ago

Wine of the night for many, the facts: made from 80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, from vines between 10-40 years old, and a small quantity of the “Vieilles Vignes” cuvee, produced entirely from Roussanne vines of at least 65 years of age. Deep gold in color, this is indeed in the mature stage. A complex and full nose showed layers of almonds, sea breeze, candied citrus and honeysuckle. The palate indeed confirmed the small bit of oxidized notes (sherry like saline) that went very well with the yellow fruits and flowers, full bodied with grace, minerality and good acid cut which no doubt is how it was able to age. — 11 years ago
From pre-phylloxera vines, Taylor's bought a small lot of only three barrels from the 1863 vintage that had been quietly resting in a cellar for well over a century—the producer had the foresight to reserve them when phylloxera swept through the region. An important wine because, as Taylor's staff pointed out, ungrafted vines no longer exist in the Douro. An incredible experience, and one that I felt lucky to have since the winery has fewer than 12 bottles remaining.
There is an incredible, concentrated sweetness on the nose; coffee, vanilla, maple syrup, and dried tobacco leaf. In the mouth, lacquered elegance, a long toffee-hued ribbon slowly unfurling, like removing a sheet from an ancient mahogany bureau, there is dust and warm wood and leather, layered against dates, dried orange skins and burnt sugar. Spiciness and minerality emerge on the finish, filtered sunlight through ancient glass and sea salt captured by time and slow evaporation. — 9 years ago
#delectableapp since you so urgently want to know what I need from a wine app: a tracking system (through the distribution chain) for numbered bottles, like for large sea animals and birds.
Great wine, drink now but no need to drink up. — 10 years ago

One of the Spring selections from my Deep Sea membership. The "Red" is a Conway table wine, this iteration being a Rhône style with Syrah taking the majority share of the blend. The Conway Family estate grapes are grown on the central coast, Rancho Arroyo Grande. The Arroyo Grande AVA is a 16 mile long winding valley in San Luis Obispo that offers diverse microclimates yielding a great variety of viticultures. Head to the Santa Barbara Pier one of these Spring days and have a glass at the Deep Sea tasting room! ~$25 | #deepsea #conway #rhonestyle

Vibrant and classic example of Genevrieres. Hints of almond and sea shell like minerality augment a delicate citrus backbone. Drinking well now. No need to wait! — 12 years ago

Clean crisp apple, all steel no oak. With sea bass en papillote. Probably too dainty for a Super Bowl dinner, but it's still delicious! — 9 years ago
So good. No flaws at all. WOTN. — 9 years ago
Dusty pine cone, soggy pretzels, snow iced cream nose. Cut wild lowers and tall valley grass, Coral pieces straight from the sea, covered in living shells. A hint of walnut in cinnamon. Whoa! Absolutely oceanic initially. Send forth the mollusk!! Maybe soda bread, but really just sweet clams pulled from the mud and injested. The idea of cinnamon surfaces often but is not the driving force. You aren't taking the maidenhead for wife, but you can dream. There are no clouds atop this cognac-colored ocean, but the lacing is unbreakable and washes like the ocean around the bowl. — 10 years ago
Smooth with a pleasant edge of juicy cranberry. No surprise there's a touch of sea salt in the back. — 10 years ago
