Monte Rio Cellars

North Coast Syrah 2016

Interesting, light bodied Syrah. Initially old boot leather but as it begins to open I’m overwhelmed with cranberries. Front has spice and earth. Has a tangy/tartness on the back end. Love the skull on the front. — 6 years ago

Nicolis Angelo e figli

Ambrosan Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2003

Imagine aged plums and white cherries blowing a hole through the back of your skull like a 12 gauge. That only partially captures the experience of this amarone on the nose. Medium minus acidity and gentle tannins make this quaffable, yet still deserving of a considered reflection. High quality producer, corked. — 9 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2010

Popped and poured and surprisingly approachable! Some oak showing now, with wonderful dark fruit and minerality. I didn't even need food to skull 3/4 of this bad boy. — 12 years ago

Riserva Brunate Barolo Nebbiolo 1989

Brunate riserva selezionata. Can wine bring you to tears? This wine can. And knock your head straight back as the aroma shoots straight up your nose and through the top of your skull. Dear god. Wotn. — 7 years ago

Amazing. A privilege to try this wine. Glad it was so well loved

Carlisle Winery & Vineyards

James Berry Vineyard Syrah

Dark chocolate and pepper notes. Drier on the palate to most syrahs yet pleasant without sucking the moisture from your skull. Great value for money. — 8 years ago

I dig the Skull....prefer it over Royal City (which is stellar in its own right)

I saw a bottle of 06 Royal City close on auction yesterday for $285.00, @Bill Bender had no idea they could fetch that kind of cash nowadays

Coronado Brewing Company

Crown Series Skull Wrapper IPA

Oh gee, big surprise. Another great IPA from the San Diego area. Who woulda thunk it? This has a smoother hop with less bite but it's still flavorful. I like the lower ABV which makes it a great start to an evening. Just on the edge of being a session ale at 7%. — 10 years ago
