Uncommon Brewers

Château Lestage-Simon

Haut-Médoc Bordeaux Blend 2001

Some mild signs of age which is not uncommon for this quality of a Bordeaux and it's 14 years old. Great nose, dark fruits, Cedar, leather. Somewhat dusty.

Prosser Vineyard & Winery

Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

For the price this is a pretty great Cab Sauv. I can taste plum, black cherry, a very light oaky taste ( most likely aged in older oak barrels) I also taste a very slight hint of smokiness, and tobacco. It has subtle tannins which is uncommon for a Cab Sauv. — 13 years ago

I wish more Gewürztraminer tasted like this - expressing refinement and precision uncommon for this grape. — 13 years ago

Interesting. Maybe things are changing there. For super-fine Gewürz you might also like Fitz-Ritter, just across the border in the same hills.

Fleury Pere & Fils

Rosé de Saignée Brut Champagne Pinot Noir

It is the day after Christmas I thought I would go with a Champagne. This is the Fleury Pere et Fils Champagne Rose de Saignee NV. On the nose I get good red fruit of strawberry, fresh bread, Brewers Yeast and very fresh overall feeling. On the palate I get tart cherries, new strawberries, medium + acidity, and an earthy minerality with a good long finish. This was bought for $39.99. — 11 years ago

India Pale Ale Brewers Reserva

A very good IPA, still one of the best since first brewed in 1989, if you have not had this, you should try, it is a true classic in IPA's — 13 years ago
