Tonight is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year and the weekend before Christmas. I have opened the 2013 Andrew Will Two Blondes Vineyard Yakima Valley Bordeaux Blend. 44% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Cabernet Franc.

On the nose is a stunningly juicy dark fruit of blackberry, black cherry, black currant, milk chocolate, violet, vanilla, cigar box and dark rock earth.

The palate reveals lack cherry, raspberry, plum, green bell pepper, black pepper, red currant, violet, graphite and some earth notes.

This wine is what I have come to expect from the Andrew Will Winery and Chris Camarda. This is a full bodied wine with a polished texture that is well balanced. There is medium + acidity and medium + fine tannins that lead to a long clean fresh finish. Another outstanding wine from Andrew Will. Have a wonderful weekend leading into Christmas please be safe and enjoy family and friends. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 6 years ago

Wind Gap Solstice Release event. Majik is almost always the lowest ABV in the lineup at 11-12 %, but this one is 10.4. Lean, cool climate Syrah. Always a favorite and the '05 and 06 Pax versions are still drinking very well. — 9 years ago

Really brings out the spices in food. Tried it with Irish cheddar and dukkah, and the cumin in the dukkah exploded. Amazing! — 9 years ago

Happy Summer Solstice. Fresh, nervy, precise Chard. Also has a tasty apricot character dusted in citrus zest aromatics. A great wine to officially welcome summer. — 9 years ago

Took Joy’s suggestion and celebrated the Winter Solstice and full moon with the 2014 Winter’s Cuvée. What a wonderful idea! And the restaurant waived the corkage because we brought a white chocolate ginger cheesecake for the staff to enjoy. Life is good. — 6 years ago

Bière ambrée d'exception de la brasserie canadienne Dieu du Ciel. Elle est un peu forte car elle titre à 10,2, mais elle a la particularité d'exploser en bouche au niveau des arômes: caramel, fruits, épices, et en cherchant bien des notes de fruits rouges. Elle a la particularité d'être disponible tous les 21 décembre, et elle peut se garder plusieurs années en cave. Je la conseille fortement — 8 years ago

Celebrating summer solstice with a delicious Verdejo. The winemaker suggest notes of grapefruit and lime but I’m really getting baked pineapple and tropical notes. Golden green gold colour, perfectly balanced acidity with a notably assertive and lasting palate for a Verdejo. I really enjoyed this wine. — 7 years ago

Very good GSM blend. Bought additional bottles. Top 10 2017 tasting at NCWC. Re-Tasting 12/26/17 - fantastic. Taking the unusual step of upping by two points to 92. Re-affirmed 6/21/18. Summer solstice calls for this delicious wine. — 7 years ago
