Quick Reviews
Tacama Tinto De La Vina – 2014
As dull as a lecture on risk management in the paste-making industry. Pairs well with heaping plates of ennui.
Biltmore Riesling – 2014
A disappointing reez, the sputtering fizz makes one think it was produced in a New Delhi Pepsi plant. Best given as a Father’s day gift if you don’t like your father.
Washington Hills Gewurztraminer – 2012
Serviceable like a 1975 VW Beetle. Their are better Wurtzes out there but this will do in a pinch.
Tacama Tinto – 2014
A wine so bad you want to throw it at someone, which makes me think it was actually designed to be used as a Molotov cocktail for a Bruce Willis movie. I’d research what grapes they used, but I frankly can’t be bothered. Disgusting.
August Kesseler “R” Riesling Kabinett – 2013
This is baby-making reez, gooey sweet and sexy.
XYZin Old Vine Zinfandel – 2013
Bottled meh.
Apothic Red 2013 – Modesto CA
A blend like no other, needs no sanctification to be used for holy rites, it’s that good. Full review here.
Tenshen Red – 2014
Inky like the depths of Cthulhu’s homeland, but too fruity to ever seriously be confused for a harvester of human souls.
Las Moras Reserva Malbec – Bodega Finca Las Moras – 2013
A cunning foil for Sherlock Holmes, this is a complicated mystery of fruit, low tannin, moderate sugar and danky, crypt cobwebs. Forget the butler, the Argentinian malbec did it.
Sauternes – Chateau Le Renaissance – 2012
Finally, sullen fans of 99¢ boxes of golden raisins get a wine designed for them.
