Sloan

Asterisk Rutherford Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

9.7

Almost black colored. Just a quick decant and lovely ripe black and blue fruit forward, camphor, tobacco, licorice. Grippy yet rounded tannins, incredible mouthfeel, with a nice long finish. Incredible wine, absolutely loved it and can’t wait to see how it evolves over the coming years! — 6 days ago

Jefferson's Bourbon

Jefferson's Reserve Pritchard Hill Cabernet Cask Finished Very Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Bill Bender

9.5

I thought this was tremendous. Unlike the Groth cask reserve I get a vibe for the wine barrel treatment here. This is 15 yr old bourbon finished in Chappellet Pritchard Hill cab oak barrels. The bourbon itself has a red hue, possibly owing to the wine barrel. I actually poured my taste in to my wine glass after I finished off some Sloan. To me it's a more successful experiment than the Groth cask. The increased time in French oak has created a smooth, dry whiskey with absolutely zero bite. While I can't specifically pinpoint flavors of wine...or Pritchard Hill...the flavors of cherry and dark chocolate and less obvious sweetness places this smack dab in the middle of my wheelhouse--near my watches, converse and left behind bras. — 7 years ago

@Michael Meyer The BT stuff is quite nice, one of my fav distillers. @Bill Bender We love the Jefferson bottles, they are always doing interesting stuff, cut our teeth on Ocean, and been in love since.

Hundred Acre Vineyard

Ark Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

2007 Hundred Acre. Post-Thanksgiving dinner w McC at Jar. Decanted abt 1 hr before drinking. Still huge. Comp against ‘01 Sloan. This lacked some of the finesse that the Sloan showed. This is also so massive and too young to drink. — 4 years ago

My reward for the 1:49:55 finish in the NYC Half Marathon (and for beating my fundraising goal toward cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital!). My prior score and notes on this remain consistent. I just LOVE this wine. — 7 years ago

@David Goldfinger @Carl Fischer @Ron R @David L I agree ., awesome wine! Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️ with an upside to being a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ given some time.
