Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Deep red fruit and spice on the nose and coming through on front mouth first blush showing more dark cherry than black fruit (all still slightly tight post aerator-corked bottle pour).. It seems well-balanced with tannins showing slowing the final downhill run offering that finishing touch and back-end memory. This wine shares classic Cali cab notes with slightly brightened fruit, all of which will benefit from a few years in the cave followed by some playtime in a broad-bowled decanter, where its truth will thereafter come to the table.
PS, my guess is that the spice on the nose is largely the result of some newer oak bathing😎 PSS, back @ Matt & Mindy's fabulously folky yet scrumptiously sophisticated Friendly Market just off the bike trail (emphasis added) where you will find very special stuff soundly local with influences from Quebec to NC, at least! 100 years...🌀🌲 — 11 years ago
Stone Brewing Co.
Ruination Double IPA
This the New revamped version of Stone's Landmark Classic Double West Coast IPA, 2.0 It adds newer hops and picks up the ABV 8.5% because of the need to stand in the current market of big and hoppy IPA's these days, Stone decided to improve their classic beer, and yes it is a improvement, more tropical and cleaner malt, still bitter by most standards, hence the name, Until "Enjoy By" came about this was my favorite DIPA, Still a Great beer, and I do like the new hop profile, but as much as "Enjoy By" this is still just a big hop bomb, "Ruinten " is always the one to pick up ever year, but overall great that Gregg decided to do this, good choice, I am happy to still have this available all year long in its New improved version — 11 years ago

Weill A Way Vineyard Mixed Blacks Red Blend 2012
Super dark and deep mixed blacks. Tons of concentrated dark and purple fruits; rhubarb, plum, huckleberry compote. The freshest of fresh on the palate, farmer's market, "free sample, I know you're going to love this" fresh. Long but not over staying its welcome, full flavored but not fleshy. Bravo. — 13 years ago

Intrinsic Wine Co.
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
An interesting wine. Sold as "extreme extended maceration" with skin contact for 9 months. The result is fairly impressive in the mouth. The nose is a bit odd and unidimensional - cedarwood. The tannins are nicely integrated and fairly soft. Went quite well with food. Almost imagine they are going after the prisoner market here. For $15, very good value. Very good QPR — 10 years ago

Evangelho Vineyard Heritage Zinfandel Blend 2012
Loving this California producer right now. You may see their Zinfandel in the ATL market. Winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson is the son of Ravenswood founder Joel Peterson. They're working with multiple old vineyards in CA making gorgeous Heritage single vineyard wines (vineyards a blend of varietals). — 12 years ago
Alaskan Brewing Co.
Icy Bay IPA
This a very good IPA, I like this a lot, it so well balanced, and even though it does try to push too much on the hops and citrus notes, mostly grapefruit, which gives that classic west coast IPA profile, it is there to let you know what it is and the style it is, this beer gets lost in the very large market of west IPA's but it such a treat to drink, super cheap and well worth it, get if you can, not a big hop head beer, which I like, but to have this proves you do not need to hop some beers up to be good, like this one is, really good — 12 years ago

Cantina dei Produttori Carema
Riserva Carema Nebbiolo 2011
Classically Nebbiolo with a rustic charm. Complex nose... black cherries, tar, bright limestone, dried wood, and the aromas of a fresh flower market. Palate is round and juicy with back-end acidity, more than tannin. Red fruit dominates, and the rustic feel persists. Dry finish, with excellent length with cranberries and red raspberry. Opened nicely overall several hours. Will pair well with pastas and game. Co-op producer. — 10 years ago

Peyrassol
Commanderie de Peyrassol Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2013
After long day on the Harley, this crisp rose from Provence proves clean showing an essential mineral-based quench washing away the trail dust and enriching the scallops, etc. in the brilliant French garden @ The Market Place on 20 Wall Street as sweet jazzy guitar works with the wine melting the neck and shoulder stress associated with 7 hours in the saddle screaming across NC, from my azure Carolina coast to our monster waves of blue mountains - Asheville! Sublime almost all the time! Cheers — 12 years ago
Mark Seeber
Michael Cruse found a sweet spot in a crowded market. This wine will reward those wanting something they can't find anywhere else. If it was $5-10 cheaper I'd buy this as my house wine. Still, a fun wine that brings bright cherry, with some tartness and herbal notes followed by a minerality that gives it some crunch. Strong finish that pairs well with roast chicken, grilled brats, or a salad lyonnaise. Much better at cellar temp than after an hour at room temp otherwise I would score higher. — 9 years ago
