Fool's Mate Okanagan Valley Chardonnay

Still maintaining bright lemon peel but beginning to taste like candied lemon & grilled pineapple from the age. Oak is beautifully balanced bringing vanilla and roasted cashews and almonds. A thought provoking marriage of oak and acidity. Still has some life in it to age but I can’t imagine it being much better than it is now — 8 months ago

Grimm Artisanal Ales

Rainbow Dome

Grimm is killing it at the moment. Really impressive. Known originally got their fruit blended beers but best without the added flavors. Their sours are a success and this is no exception. Excellent. — 3 years ago

Kitchen Sink

Artisanal Winemaking California White Blend

Decent legs, 8/10. Pale straw color. The aroma is mouthwatering... Grapefruit and honeydew and some sort of flower. Taste is full, but mellow and refreshing. Tastes like California. I love this one! — 5 years ago
