Thornton Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

This Sonoma Pinot Noir is drinking perfectly after almost 10 years with bold aromas & flavors of blackberries, plums, along notes of graphite and forest floor.  The palate is nearly perfectly balanced with well integrated tannins and punchy acidity through a long finish. A wonderful pairing with reverse seared Filet mignon and fried garlic green beans! [8/16/24] ($33) — 4 months ago

Château Bonnet

Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2014

Rosé of 50/50 cab merlot. Inspired a conversation about the spectrum of bell peppers, or as @Molly Brooks Thornton accurately said "candied bell pepper." Fresh grapefruit and Rainier cherry around a core of fresh wet soil. Puckery acidity, in a good way. — 9 years ago

Superior No. 12 Brand 90 Proof Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky

There's a lot to like about this whisky. There's also quite a lot not to like. The intense vanilla, caramel, mocha flavors are delicious and sustain beautifully. However, there isn't the elegance or smoothness of a great whisky. Better than most large production options at a similar price point and a worthy addition to the home bar.

Thanks Trixie! There's a major Thornton Dial exhibition opening at the Met in NYC this spring. I'll be going for sure and might upgrade my whisky for that outing. 🥃

The 2014 Domaine De la Grand'Cour Le Clos Fleurie is my current obsession, but these were all delicious and fun to taste back to back (to back to back...). A study in granite, flowers and crunchy red fruit. Thanks for the great event @Max Kogod and #kogodwinemerchant, and thanks for hosting @Molly Brooks-Thornton and #bankershillrestaurant — 9 years ago
