Grenache Carignan Blend 2013

Los Pilares San Diego County Red Blend 2013: Fresh. Natural. Extraordinary. Consisting of 50% Grenache & 50% Carignan, this was a light-bodied, extremely unique wine. Red fruits (cranberry & cherry). Plum. Earth. Short finish. For me, the wine was a bit thin on structure but very clean & natural tasting. This was my first San Diego County wine and it left me quite intrigued & impressed. Hoping to explore other San Diego wines in the near future. Cheers🍷 — 5 years ago

La Dona's Sparkling Muscat

Love it. Super aromatic and tropical on the nose. Peaches, mango, and apricots. But none of that fruit comes through on the palate. More grapefruit, super minerally, lots of sediment and funk. Bone dry. — 10 years ago

Ruination Double IPA

Surprisingly, I kinda liked this despite my aversion to overly-hopped beers. The nose is a straight up hop-bomb - floral, citrusy, piney. The palate's also full-on, with heaps of hoppy bitterness, but balanced by malty sweetness and tropical fruit notes (passionfruit and mango for me). Finishes crisp and earthy. Not bad, but not my kind of beer (not an IPA fan basically). — 7 years ago

Unique white coming from young woman winemaker in the Canary islands. I found this to be pleasantly #smokey but not over #oaked . Expresses the #volcanicsoils very well but light and sharp at the same time! Interesting find! #canaryislands — 11 years ago

Semilla is amazing, thoroughly enjoyed though I have some regret over not ordering the suckling pig with Sichuan peppers. In Paris, Spring is also a must and bistro dumont Josephine is an incredible bistro.

Alex, you didn't miss out not ordering the pig! Tough, with little flavor. The lamb, on the other hand, was fantastic. Also, had delicious meal and wine pairing at Verjus.

Pretty average all around. I had higher expectations, but they weren’t fulfilled. I have had no luck with higher priced white wines. Maybe I’m just drinking excellent value lower priced ones, because I find them much better! — 7 years ago
