Impressive domestic fino sherry, hitting all the right notes. Savory, saline and satisfying, perfect with Tortilla Espanola, Marcona Almonds, anchovies and all manner of tapas. Delightful. Nice job, Quady Winery of Madera, CA. Nice job. — 4 years ago

Classic Syrah mellowed by 5 years in the bottle. Perfectly balanced. Too bad Quady doesn’t make wine from this vineyard anymore. — 5 years ago

Oh I think I’m in love. Smoky. Steak. Jerky. Salt. Then a rich finish with a small kick of tannins. I think it’s very well balanced for its age. ❤️ — 5 years ago

Here’s a rare New World wine that benefits from a bit of cellaring. Mostly Cab Franc and a bit of Merlot. Too intense for me fresh out of the cellar, but after 10 years, well, it’s hard to remember a wine I’ve had that’s this good. The chalkiness of the Cab Franc and the jaminess of the Merlot of mellowed into a symphony of aromas and flavors too subtle to pin down and yet very much still there for your enjoyment. — 2 years ago

Vermouth is just an underrated option overall as a stand-alone drink.

I like to first sip a new bottle with an ice cube to understand its flavor notes. But I think my favorite way to drink it is with club soda (Canada Dry is pretty much the best club soda with no added minerals — Topo Chico is good if you’re looking for mineralized soda water). So I add about three quarters of a standard rocks glass with club soda over a large whiskey rock style of ice and then pour vermouth directly over, watching it diffuse with the soda to etch out a light cola, dark amber, color.

This ones got notes of mocha, cinnamon, citrus, cocoa, cola, orange peel, and even some spruce.

Really just all around wonderful coffee cola sweet and savory flavors. I prefer a slightly lighter Spanish style sweet vermouth, but this is a good change up. — 4 years ago

Anyone who even remotely likes Can Franc is going to love this. Bordeaux, eat your heart out. — 6 years ago
