Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend 2021

Smooth, velvety red fruits, bourbon barrel, hints of vanilla on the finish. — 5 months ago

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2001

Garnet, just beginning to brick at the edges. Smells like dried leaves and animal hide. Roasted plums, black cherries, maybe a bit of toffee, iron. A charming curmudgeon, taking its time to get where it’s going. — 7 years ago

Founders Brewing Company

Curmudgeon Old Ale

The swamp smoke rose from the bottleneck as a stew of sediment was revealed through the phone light. Tea biscuit and ginger snap with molasses,burnt caramel and peanut brittle are conjured in turn, with coffee cake loaded with walnut. The palate invites with a yielding smoothness and teetering, sweet fig and date, but behind it, tea tree oils, resinous paper, dark tobaccos half-smoked, copper coins, fruit cake, struck flint, burnt corn tortilla, charcoal dust, and a slow-smoldering engine smoke. He's a dirty old machine, but soft in the middle with nougat and an espresso-chocolate cream that borders on coconuts. After a drag through the scrub, we arrive in a grove of sweet fruits. Duplicitously integrated. #Founders #stout #barrelaged — 7 years ago

Russell told me that his wines are meant to be drank young or aged. I would have popped it as well! Bravo!
