The Elder
Lagunitas Brewing Company
Lagunitas Sucks Brown Shugga Substitute Ale
It might not be Pliny the Younger but I didn't have to wait 6 hours in the rain. This is a reasonable facsimile if Pliny the Elder. — 12 years ago
Rising Tide Brewing Company
Calcutta Cutter Imperial India Pale Ale
The only beer out East that satisfied out strong hoppy California IPA palates. Reminiscent of Pliny the Elder from Russian River Brewery and Double Tap from Berryessa Brewing. — 12 years ago
Eric Bordelet
Poiré Authentique Pear Cider
Made from younger trees. I prefer the more expensive version with the elder trees though. This one was about $16-$17, so $8 cheaper from Arlequin. — 13 years ago
Cade
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Dark ruby, almost purple in colour, lots of fine sediment. The wine offered a complex nose of elder, black currant, cherry, blackberry, chocolate, spices, clove, liquorice, some leather, some tobacco and a charred wood component. On the ripe palate the wine showed elder, black currant, cherry, some blackberry, coffee, chocolate, spices, cinnamon, liquorice and some tobacco, paired with lively medium-plus acidity, medium-plus tannin, notable heat from the alcohol (15.2% ABV) and very good length. The full-bodied wine had good complexity, with well-handled oak, but the alcohol was out of balanced. Inferior to the tight, dense, concentrated, powerful 2007. 91 — 11 years ago
Chasseur
Sangiacomo Green Acres Hill Chardonnay 2004
2004. The color and flavor of butterscotch! Really nice, acids remain to keep it fresh in the mouth. A charming elder offering. — 12 years ago
Domaine Roulot
Le Porusot Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004
Spectacular, fresh notes of pineapple, beeswax, elder flowers, intense balsamic, citrus, custard pie, rich texture and a powerful finish. — 13 years ago
Epic Brewing
Elder Brett Saison-Brett Golden Ale
Just enough sour (almost cider esque) from wine barrel aging. Very complex with funky, straw like nuances. A contemplative beer brewed in Salt Lake City by Epic and aged accordingly with a collaboration from Crooked Stave in Fort Collins. — 12 years ago
The Elder
Pinot Noir 2012
Early tasting of 2012 PN - watch this space in Oct 14! — 12 years ago
Teutonic Wine Company
Crow Valley Vineyard Riesling 2012
My favorite summer wine! Bright fresh squeezed lemon acid and wet river stone minerals duke it out for a dry finish with white nectarines and elder flowers — 12 years ago
Brendan Perrett
Aptly named elder statesmen of Australian fortifieds. Savoury, complex salted caramel, almost buttery. Lovely stuff. — 11 years ago
