We did a cellar clean out a month or so ago, a few older wines came out and some newer ones went in. We try and hold all Bordeaux for a minimum of ten years. This one, the 2005 Chateau De Candale, had been languishing for 13 years just waiting for us. online pharmacy https://youngchiropractic.com.au/wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/inc/php/ventolin.html…
In my recent trip to Napa Valley, while visiting Calistoga and one winery in particular, Knights Bridge, we were gifted a bottle of Cab at the end of our visit. I tucked it into our suitcase, with a few others, and felt that since it was a gift I should do one of my one-bottle…
In writing wine and spirit reviews, which include comprehensive tasting notes on appearance, aroma, flavor and sometimes a score, it would be remiss for me not to explain that even when I’m not working on an article I will still employ some of these same methods when drinking wine for pleasure with friends or at…

Somebody noticed that I’ve added brown spirits to my “likes” along with all things in the wine department. Maybe it’s because I’m hungry for more single spirit vendors to join us for Cocktails on the Roof 2017 too. Either way, I don’t care! Come along on this ride with me and you may see that…
The last time I got a chance to review Jim Beam Bourbons was in 2012, at the Spirits Confidential tasting with several ambassadors and Master Distillers. Clearly, four years between evaluations has been far too long. This time I took my time, took a seat and contemplated the whiskies alone and not in cocktails. Tasting…
