Smart Cookie Vineyards

B Cellars

Ehrlich Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Licorice and cookie spice on the nose. Prominent fruit up front, blackberry, with a long finish. Would imagine that this should age well, if you have the patience and discipline. — 8 years ago

SweetWater Brewing Company

Hop Hash Infuse Double IPA

Pinecones and orange blossoms. Pineapple cake and dried apricots fill your nostrils. Lemon-orange, maple, sweet corn, creamy grapefruit, pine nuts and lemon cookie coalesque and then a resinous pine in burlap emerges triumphant in the face of the tropical monsoon. It carries on like pine tar on a baseball bat. Home run! — 9 years ago

Dauvergne Ranvier

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2009

Quite light for Côte-Rôtie. Smart and sophisticated with just enough red fruit to play along with the savory, umami character. Medium tannins and acidity and with plenty of remaining longevity. — 10 years ago

Cigar City Brewing

Jai Alai India Pale Ale

This thing is like a merengue cookie after you get through the citrus zest and gum arabic candy crust. There is a tangerine characteristic, that turns into tangerine pith, and has a powdered sugar millisecond before becoming bony and rich. This thick little lady is bumping in every respect! — 10 years ago

Cambria Estate Winery

Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2010

Paired with Girl Scout cookie: Thanks-a-lot — 10 years ago

The dosage probably needs a little more time to find a more precise balance with the wine, but delicious all the same!

Fass Nr. 9 Vernatsch Südtirol-Alto Adige Schiava 2011

Giampiero Nadali
9.1

Smart interpretation of a very popular grape, Schiava or Vernatsch. Transparent red color, wide sensations at taste of red fruits, salty acidity, and the long and funny to drink! — 12 years ago

Domaine Parent

Les Épenots Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Tightly wound. Needs time. Oatmeal raisin cookie and doughnut on the nose. Crushed rocks, clay, deep red fruit. Nice spice at the end. — 8 years ago

Clos du Gravillas

Lo Vièlh Vin de 100 Ans Côtes de Brian Carignan 2012

100 year old vines, languedoc Carignan. Big tanins, big body. Lavender & Leather. Belinda demands it to be decanted- smart move. Nice sleep-wine from big John. — 10 years ago

Château Doisy-Védrines

Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1989

Moody copper gold in color. Wonderfully mature, botrytis infused, sugar-coated pecans, salty caramel, cookie dough, dried guava, cappuccino cream, cured ham. Did I say it's very complex!? Really love the balance and mixture of full-throttle sweetness and mouthwatering savoury, hearty elements. Beautiful wine to sip and contemplate on this perfect Indian-Summer-Sunday.... — 11 years ago

In Porrera, the freshest part of Priorat, this is a very young winery, with smart ideas about wine, architecture and design. Very elegant, smooth, long finish. — 12 years ago

Venge Vineyards

Silencieux Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Pretty darn good. Not sure it's going to pair well with a cookie making night, but it has that "it's Friday" depth you look for when kicking off the weekend. — 8 years ago

Realm Cellars

Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

@David A Lentine @Gina Sabean @Christine You know that you are drinking GREAT wines when you can say that a Realm Beckstoffer To Kalon came in last. I love this producer beyond measure!! Every wine they make is a hit. Everyone tonight agreed that drank by itself it would have been amazing. However, it still needs a few years to open up and spread its wings!! All of my bottles were decanted for 8 hours today, I began formulating thus rodeo of a lineup around 11am. The Realm had huge dark fruit but too many rough edges in comparison to the others. In all honesty, these are so good that we are splitting hairs but alas they must be ranked and that is how the Cookie Crumbled this evening. — 9 years ago

1991: Trusting the makeshift neck tag. Reticent nose, yet full delivery on palate. Book smart Cote Rotie, with everything you'd expect present. The youngster of the night, yet in welcome company. No hurry to drink, will continue to develop. — 10 years ago

Tenuta Argentiera

Poggio Ai Ginepri Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Nicely balanced and deep. Licorice on the finish with smart tannins. A little loopy throughout... likely thanks to the Syrah content. Nice little super tuscan! — 10 years ago
