A multiple tasting of global brown spirits, but dinner of enchiladas with locally sourced ingredients was perfectly paired to the ultimate of Green Chile vodka from none other than St. George's (Alameda, CA).
Happy 2022>2023 Delectable Family.
I was lucky enough to land one of the current COVID variants during my Holiday break, yet 'luck' is one word for the situation. Fortunately symptoms were mild but my palate is twisted, so hopefully 2023 brings a reset. — 2 years ago

Fruit forward, easy drinking, and feels like a new world Sauvignon Blanc with a twist of honey notes. So interesting and fun to drink.

This is quite youthful and seems on the natty side, but not too much so. Also seems like it was deliberately picked on the not-quite-ripe side. The nose is super-bright, with crunchy little purple mountain berries and pink peppercorns. A bit of cured beef too. In the mouth, the acids are through the roof, overriding some nice, crisp, dark berry flavors. There is a bare hint of barnyard funk too. Very nice length. Overall it’s got a lot of character but seems a little disjointed. Picking a tad riper may have made a better wine, but it wouldn’t have made a “statement,” which I think was what was primarily behind this wine. — 5 months ago

This Zinfandel/ Petite Sirah blend from Washington State is drinking very nicely right out of the bottle.
Spicy and fruit forward. Juicy and elegant. Already showing nice complexity.
Nicely balanced, and not cloying at all, which was a great surprise.
Delivers more than its price point, and drinks like a $35 California Cabernet. Interesting stuff.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Went really well with prosciutto, and will also pair nicely with a burger.
A blend of 51% Zinfandel, 38% Petite Sirah and 11% Lemberger. Aged in French and American Oak barrels for 26 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
