Barbera

What a delicate/feminine style… Almost ankida Pinot-esk with a mandarin/tamarin finish. — 8 months ago

Penns Woods

Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Solid vintage year for the reserve cab. It’s one of the better balanced mid-Atlantic cabs you can find. It has the density and complexity of a top tier cab you’d expect from.more acclaimed Napa vineyards - but without the the ‘in your face’ tannins. Nice job Penn’s Woods! — 4 years ago

Galen Glen

Lehigh Valley Grüner Veltliner 2016

A crisp and “minerally” PA White. Straw gold in color with a green hue. Aromas of pear, straw and lemon grass. Flavors of pear, fresh thyme, and slate. Zippy acidity. Really good. — 7 years ago

BACA Wines

Double Dutch Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel 2021

deep purple and some strong legs. Aroma is jammy as hell. Touches of oak aromas underneath the fruit. Lightly smoky. Flavor is boldly fruity with a surprisingly acidic astringent finish. — a year ago

Lake Erie Noiret 2018

Had a glass at the winery and it tasted good enough to buy a bottle and bring home. So … at home , it pours a deep ruby color. Aroma of red raspberry and berries and a hint of smoke? . Cherries and raspberries in the middle with a dry pucker at the finish. — 5 years ago

This Pa brewery is rocking my world. Close my eyes and taste this, and I drift back to my time when I lived in Waterloo, Brussels. Label says 9.5% abv, but it’s tucked in nicely. Woody notes on the palate, with cardamom, cloves and licorice. Heart-warming as it slips down the hatch. Well done! — 7 years ago

Yes, @Dawn E. It’s where the final land battle took place. If you visit the museum there, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Napoleon won! Still, I enjoyed my time there... but the food and beers were to die for!

@Ron R Thanks! Great info 👍!

Pinnacle Ridge

Chambourcin 2016

This was good. It wasn’t earth shattering like the way the cashier made it sound, but it was decent — 8 years ago

Penns Woods

Reserve Merlot 2019

Consistency is good - see my notes from earlier vintage. Approachable on opening. Floral on the nose. Dense spicy raspberry and a touch of leather on the palate. Starting to show some mineral on a moderate long finish. Tannins show at the finish. Perhaps the vines are getting more mature as it seems as if the profile is moving towards an old world style that may need cellaring in future vintages. — 3 years ago

Franklin Hill Vineyards

Fainting Goat Red Blend 2019

Just as delicious as I remember it. Can distinctly taste the black cherry. It is delightful to taste the actual description of the wine. Definitely on the sweeter side. — 6 years ago

Apostelhoeve

Cuvée XII Louwberg Maastricht Müller-Thurgau Blend 2017

Vintage 2017 / Man, I am so proud this wine is Dutch. I retasted Apostelhoeve next to Bordeaux blanc and Alsace. And it still stands. Light-footed but with a great backbone. Blend of several grapes. #apostelhoeve — 8 years ago
