Chateau Du Mass

Cá dei Zago

Prosecco col Fondo 2022

Unusual as it has way more earth than usual for a Prosecco. Very interesting as it’s not just mass produced fizz. Do not waste by adding OJ — 2 months ago

Cigar City Brewing

Jai Alai India Pale Ale

One of finest mass produced “ craft “ beers on the east coast.
Wonderful bitterness on a hot day.
Some sugar shack residual sweetness.
Really packs a resinous punch.

Ravenswood Winery

Rancho Salina Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Ravenswood single vineyard efforts always deliver beyond expectations. and it’s a great value drinking at half the price of something comparable. I think the Ravenswood mass produced stuff subsidizes their good stuff. $19 at K&L SF on their old and interesting wall to the far left when you go in. — 5 years ago

Shows how a great vintage can lift a humble wine. Stellar stuff. Deeper and darker color. Deeper nose. Super floral, crushed granite, mashed flowers, violets, ripe but not too ripe. Very clean. Lovely nose. Palate has a mass of peppery fruit. Deep, ripe and complex with a huge granite footprint. Juicy and structured with ability to go 5-6 more years. Awesome. — 6 years ago

North Coast Brewing Company

Cellar Reserve Old Stock Ale 2016

Jumping spider eye bubbles mass in a parabola foam while smaller bubble sheens fill the bursting absences, until the whole becomes an espresso foam, and equally oiled. Unction lacings lean Hebraic but ultimately are the dream fonts writ by the hand of G-d. Mene Mene Tekel Parsin they seem to say before fluttering away as constellations on a starling’s back. Fair warning as this is a heavy purse to carry. Six years in and taking stock. Figs, dates, treacle, raisins, carob, caramel, vanilla bean, sweet potato casserole, bacon fat, mincemeat. Rich on the palate with milk chocolate, molasses, Turkish coffee, gingerbread, candied date, and espresso-tobacco finish. Gloriously integrated and complex complexions.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019

First to admit I'm a wine snob and yes this is mass made wine. BUT I'm humbled. Paired with intensely flavorful Nepalese/himalayan this fridge-cold wine is absolutely perfect pairing. The light grassy note and medium acidity doesn't poke your spicy mouth, it resets and refreshes. By itself I wouldn't be excited. If I were a professional I would push this as an affordable glass that takes a back seat to make the meal Better. wow.! — 4 years ago

8.9

Dark and dense color, the aroma is subtly Italian with leather and licorice but is not lively with authentic local feel. The weight and density is very satisfying, it does not feel like mass-produced, event though it is modern and very clean. It does not have the nuances and aromatic intensity to be considered excellent, however the consistency and integrity of flavor is very impressive. — 6 years ago

Ribbon Ridge Winery

Ridgecrest Vineyards Pinot Noir 2004

Mushroom melange and plums dance on your nose with forest mass and nettle. Textural perfection, boasting silky raspberry with tobacco notes. Such a strong showing for an 18 year old Oregon Pinot. Phenomenal.

Cohn Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Beautiful, could easily pass as Premier Cru Burgundy. 50 year old vines of Mass Selection clones. Iron and Mineral aromatics create a lovely frame for the beautiful Sonoma fruit. Great site. — 6 years ago
