Pisoni Vineyards

Estate Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2013

Pisoni Estate Pinot has become something of a tradition at our house for Thanksgiving...and as usual, it did not disappoint. Not sure it was quite as good as the sourdough stuffing Vanessa made to accompany dinner...but it was close! — 5 years ago

Forsythe Vineyard (Alban)

The Mason Edna Valley Mourvedre 2007

This wine is insane. Nose is an absolute assault of clove, cardamom, incense, menthol, and, most prominently, a freshly unwrapped piece of grape Bubble Yum (which I suppose no longer exists). Palate is completely disjointed, with intense dark fruit, loam, asphalt, and licorice. Great restaurant. Vanessa has lost her mind over it. I was actually quite lucky to get any wine at all, as McCusker insisted that everyone working in the restaurant down to the dishwasher should try some. — 8 years ago

Or I offered a small taste to our server and the sommelier. One of those two versions is correct.

Oro de Calabaza Artisan Golden Ale 2013

Part of a bunch of older JPs that Vanessa found, this is awesome. SO much better than when this is first released, this has a subtle complexity to it that makes it seem more like a fine white wine than beer. Fantastic. — 8 years ago

Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Well, I fired up a couple of fullblood waygu fillets for tonight (and Vanessa made a KILLER polenta), so the competition was tough. This is a terrific cab nevertheless. Classic nose of black fruits, violet, cedar, and black currants with a hint of leather. Not as tannic as I was expecting, but still had enough backbone to keep it interesting. If you have this, I’d suggest waiting a couple of years, as I suspect it will be more interesting once it starts acquiring more secondary flavors. Still a terrific cab! — 8 years ago

Estate Scallop Shelf Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Body, structure with 10 years at least potential per Vanessa (Winemaker). This will be something (it is already something actually). Love bouquet and tannin balance. Aging will likely develop amazing complexity. — 8 years ago
