K&M

Quail Run Vineyard Viognier 2015

Pretty light gold color, medium viscosity. Lots of fresh, new, toasty oak on the nose, citrus, green grapes, some green grass/hay. Palette sees more oak, citrus, apricots, white flowers, medium+ acid, healthy alcohol, but not high octane like many French Viognier. I enjoyed this- I preferred this colder, medium complexity Viognier compared to many of the burning French versions. — 8 years ago

The Donkey and Thistle Napa Valley Pale Lager

Lots of tiny bubbles with a thick head. Good aroma of cloves, banana and spice. Smooth, balanced mouthfeel with light malt and a bit of hops. The barrel aging brings the flavors together nicely! — 10 years ago
