Taylor's Folly Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

A nose of, well, Pinot! No mistaking this red fruit - raspberry, strawberry - and rose petals. The palate has a touch of darker fruit up front but then lavender, cinnamon and strawberry rhubarb. The finish is medium length. This goes down (a little) easy. — 6 years ago

Sandra Dee Cider Blend with Cherry and Vanilla

Sandra Dee from Townline. Almost tastes like a wine. Great job balancing the cherry and vanilla. Tastes v fruity and unique. A little flat. Bad batch? — 6 years ago

Catie's Corner Viognier

My first viognier with some age on it. Major coconut cream pie, with other stone fruits as supporting cast. Still noticeably high alcohol, but maybe because I usually drink fairly low alcohol whites. Interesting and tasty wine. — 7 years ago

Pleasant Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir

Wow, just got this Pinot from Whetstone. This is seriously good. Nose is earthy and with a big, dense fruit rush. Legs are long, but you don't get that true alcohol taste. My Riedel Som Pinot glass is brimming with a dark, almost eggplant color...every swirl releases a wonderful aroma. Just beautiful. — 9 years ago

Missing Link Hopped Session Cider

A ridiculously good cider out of Boston MA. This is what I'm talking about, cider and Mosaic hops! Slightly bitter, hints of citrus, perfectly balanced sweetness, yet still noticable that the base is cider and not grain. 4.8% ABV

Not sure why we waited so long to open this, as I remember it being stunning when we tasted late last year (2018). Just fantastic, could easily drink this in mass quantity in warm or cold weather!

No, just have a backlog of other things we should be enjoying. I still have to wait a couple more weeks to let my recent Fall ship rest, than we have way too much to sample for holding at the house or sending to storage.

Bella Vigna Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Refined silky.....no.... abstract, cunning and wildly spicy. It is everything I expect from extreme farming on the Sonoma coast. I bought this at release and is all that I imagined. — 8 years ago
