Abe Schoener of Scholium Project is planning an urban winery in LA and gave a tour of the location he is trying to secure in an industrial area along the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River. Fittingly, the area was a vineyard in the 1800’s. Will be a couple of years before this comes to fruition, but an interesting plan. This wine was consumed from Solo Cup, so the score may not be fair. A Merlot Sangiovese blend on the riper end of the spectrum, but the tannins have softened since the last time I had this. — 8 years ago

If you're looking to get slapped in the face with funk, this wine is for you. If you like farting on an airplane because no one can hear you, this wine is definitely for you. Talk about subtle tannins creeping on you like a man in a dark alley wielding a paper mâché knife. Drink this in solitude. Cry in public. — 11 years ago

This was the GSM (as opposed to the Shiraz that was matched by the database). $30 a bottle. Very nice. Would recommend/gift. — 9 years ago

Big time flavor in this stout from Central Waters. A slight hoppiness quickly gives way to a smooth and vaguely sweet middle, which lingers just a moment or two before the big, grainy, bitter finish characteristic of imperial stout takes over. — 10 years ago
