Holy cow, fabulous! Pear, green apple, and lime notes. Light & refreshing but special enough for a celebration! A favorite! — a year ago

Natural style, nice funk, reasonable 14% ABV, Alice Feiring club selection. FYI the côt varietal is Malbec … name comes from Cahors in SW France where it originated — 5 years ago

I love this wine! Probably my favorite for so many reasons! Barnyard, mud, cow shit, and French oak on the nose. Tobacco, smoke, tar, and dirt on the palate. If I had to nitpick, the finish could be longer. I now agree with something I read in a book today. Your favorite wine doesn't have to be the one with your highest rating! — 8 years ago

Tasty light everyday wine. Cherry cow pie on nose. Low alcohol, good acidity and fresh fruit. Drinks a bit like Beaujolais Villages. — 9 years ago

Mid to light body, with dry, acidic fruit. "Dusty" feels like the word of the day. Paired well with a fresh ragu, and would go with anything from a heavier cream sauce to a rare slab of cow. — 10 years ago

Lovely wine. Dominated by flowers and cow shit throughout. Nice depth with a great texture. My style. Very expressive wine. — 2 years ago

Not even surprised. Rick went to his cellar and slapped his you know what on the table. This is a beautiful example of Bdx.
Cow dung nose gives way to a sweet, textured palate. Tannins are close to be resolved, but zero tertiary notes. Great acid structure completes an excellent presentation from a lack luster vintage - boys w/end in Pittsburgh. — 5 years ago

Recommend pairing with our cow tongue and truffles. Bright, acidic body with candied red berries. Likened to Banfi's Brunellos. Serralunga is gorgeous. — 7 years ago

A Wisconsin favorite, cloudy ale, with a thick frothy head. Its premium priced, perhaps overly priced, but it seems to sell well at any price.

Im looking for thirsty beer drinkers . We have to finish the 1/4 barrel from last nights party. — 8 years ago

Holy cow! Beats the tar out of any white Chateauneuf du Pape I've ever had! White peach, some funky tropical fruit I can't quite place, then petrol, llicorella, a hint of oak and a honey finish. Probably the best white I've had all year! — 10 years ago

Holy cow., this is very pure and intense but light. Such delicious and resolved fruit. The restraint of the vintage shines though but there’s a purity and essence here. Great stuff — 2 years ago

45+ minute decant and could have benefitted from more. Mix of red and purple colors. Amazing nose! Floral, earth, cow shit, and smoke. Resembled some very high end Bordeaux’s. Wine gets interesting from there. Lots of spice, minimal fruit, and a smooth texture. Short finish. Pretty good value and I want to try again. — 6 years ago

Holy cow! What a huge CM more like Grand Cru Montrachet than 1er. Big bold no lingering oak golden in color multi layered. — 9 years ago

I meet with a lot of wineries that talk about being bio-dynamic. However, none of them are more passionate about this practice than Rippon. They love talking about it with great passion and truly walk the talk. In the photos are a huge pile of cow dung, stems, dropped fruits etc.. It all goes back into the vineyard to nourish the vines. The fruit to make "The Mature" comes from the Emma's and Tinker's vineyard. On the nose, light red fruits, beautiful fresh red florals and light spice. The palate is medium bodied with lean fruits of; dark cherries, plum, strawberries, raspberries, black berries, warm spices, bright red roses, gritty minerals, fine chalkiness, beautiful acidity and a well polished finish. Additional photo of their Cellar Door grounds. — 9 years ago
