Happy hour at Voyager (11/1/19). Crisp and dry, had notes of apple and floral (that last one might be b/c of that lady’s perfume...) Very nice, had two glasses. Went well with oysters and buttered hush puppies. — 5 years ago
Color : Rosé
Wine estate : Billecart-Salmon
Designation : Champagne
Name : Brut Rosé
Country : France
Vivino : 5/5
Note : 5⭐️ for this wonder! Always a pleasure to taste. Its salmon robe sparkling with fine bubbles makes us travel out of time in a soothing, relaxing, comforting space. On the nose, a minerality accompanied by exotic and refreshing fruits, a hint of brioche, peach, star dust and dreams. On the palate, a perfect end, a greedy and sublime gourmandise. YummY

5⭐️ pour cette merveille ! Toujours un plaisir à déguster. Sa robe saumon pétillante de fines bulles nous fait voyager hors du temps dans un espace apaisant, relaxant, réconfortant. Au nez, une mineralité accompagné de fruits exotiques et rafraichissant, un soupçon de brioche, de pêche, de poussière d'étoile et de rêve. En bouche, une parfaite finalité, une gourmandise gourmande et sublime. YummY — 6 years ago
Blend 3. Winey ale's very tasty. Producer's notes are pretty spot on imo, even the [reductive?] funk when first opened.
From Wildflower's website:
Gold is a blended, barrel aged Australian Wild Ale. Blend #3 is a blend of two barrels, 1726 and NoSai. The beer in 1726 was brewed on 27 February 2017 and racked into the barrel on the last day of that month. At blending, this barrel was showing great signs of both our house culture and a fresh example of Gold. It had a subtle acidity while still displaying fresh lime and citrus characteristics. NoSai, the sister of sponsai in Blend #1, was brewed clean and remained intentionally uninfected for the majority of its life. Alone, the beer was quite oaky with a lengthy body from the raw wheat and extended maturation in oak. The intention for this blend was to bring some fresher characteristics to Gold like stone fruit, lime, grapefruit and lemon. Ongoing, this is really what we would like to see; however, the blended beer still has great notes of barrel character with a long mouthfeel and oak.
The base beer is brewed entirely with New South Wales cereals: Single Origin (S.O.) Moree, NSW grown Gairdner ale malt and North Star, NSW grown Spitfire S.O. raw wheat thanks to Provenance Malt, and Riverina grown Janz S.O. raw wheat from Voyager Craft Malt. It is made with filtered Sydney water and Motueka (NZ) and Saaz (CZ) hops. Finally, it was fermented with our house culture: brewers yeast, foraged wild yeast and naturally occurring souring bacteria native to New South Wales. It was bottled on May 4 2017 and naturally conditioned through refermentation for 4 weeks. At bottling it was 5.0% ABV, 25 IBU and 0.8°P (FG= 1.003 SG). — 7 years ago
Matured in 60% french new oak, 100% MLF, 11months in oak.
Complex, lemon citrus flavours. Beautiful texture, delicate lime zest and nice mineral edge.

Wrong wine listed. Pet Nat and it was superb, favourite one to date!
Tropical fruit, sherbet fizz, depth of flavour. Went down to easily but had good complexity. — 4 years ago
Didn’t have a corkscrew so Lora and I bought this screw top in Dallas. Was pleasantly surprised that it was actually pretty good! Cheap too 😉 — 5 years ago
Lovely as an aperitif. Fresh Green apples. Bubbles dissipate pretty fast but probably due to the style. — 6 years ago
Color : Red
Wine estate : Château Saint Cosme
Designation : Côte-Rotie
Name : Saint Cosme
Country : France
Vivino : 4.5/5
Note : A blood red robe, an animal nose on floral notes. This Cote-Rotie makes us travel in a wonderful world. On the palate, an explosion of flavor on the woody side, red fruits and floral. A delight and a pleasure shared with the family around a perfectly made lamb, a marvel!

Une robe rouge sang, un nez animal sur des notes florales. Cette Cote-Rotie nous fait voyager dans un monde merveilleux. En bouche, une explosion de saveur sur le côté boisé, fruits rouges et florale. Un délice et un plaisir partagé en famille autour d’un agneau parfaitement réalisé, une merveille !

Tobacco noted with light cocoa and berries. smooth dry finish Very rounded Malbec. Prefer voyager 3 — 7 years ago
Cherry notes with some dust and spice. Medium bodied at best yet ripe fruit with traces of spice on palate. Marg River Shiraz from the north does not have a definitive identity. Shiraz seems to do better in the south ie Voyager, Cape Mentelle and Leeuwin Estate. — 8 years ago

Clear, deep garnet colour. Clean, pronounced blackcurrant and chocolate aromas. Dry with high acidity and tannins that are beautifully balanced and smooth. Full bodied with a long finish. Juicy blackcurrant, chocolate and mocha with a lovely vanilla flavour. An outstanding wine and a marvellous accompaniment to rack of lamb. — 4 years ago

Découverte surprenante dans un bar. Cette bière légère qui titre à 5.5 possède une attaque en bouche sur de l'agrume notamment du citron mais en même temps on a cette amertume qui revient assez rapidement. Bref une bière qui fait voyager — 8 years ago
