Château Bonnet

Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2014

Rosé of 50/50 cab merlot. Inspired a conversation about the spectrum of bell peppers, or as @Molly Brooks Thornton accurately said "candied bell pepper." Fresh grapefruit and Rainier cherry around a core of fresh wet soil. Puckery acidity, in a good way. — 9 years ago

George Dickel

Superior No. 12 Brand 90 Proof Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky

There's a lot to like about this whisky. There's also quite a lot not to like. The intense vanilla, caramel, mocha flavors are delicious and sustain beautifully. However, there isn't the elegance or smoothness of a great whisky. Better than most large production options at a similar price point and a worthy addition to the home bar.

Thanks Trixie! There's a major Thornton Dial exhibition opening at the Met in NYC this spring. I'll be going for sure and might upgrade my whisky for that outing. 🥃

Les Clos Cuvée Vielles Vignes Fleurie Gamay 2014

The 2014 Domaine De la Grand'Cour Le Clos Fleurie is my current obsession, but these were all delicious and fun to taste back to back (to back to back...). A study in granite, flowers and crunchy red fruit. Thanks for the great event @Max Kogod and #kogodwinemerchant, and thanks for hosting @Molly Brooks-Thornton and #bankershillrestaurant — 8 years ago
