Wine Reviews
Tablas Creek Grenache Blanc Adelaida District 2017
Brilliant, medium gold/green color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of green apple, citrus zest, and pear with supporting notes of lime and slate. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of apple and kiwi. The finish is long and lingering. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced with a waxy texture. $35 3.5 Stars/88 points
Tablas Creek Cotes de Tablas Blanc Adelaida District 2017
Brilliant, medium gold/green color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of white peach and apple with supporting notes of green melon, honeysuckle, and citrus zest. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of apricot, kiwi, and slate. The finish is long and lingering with ripe fruit and crisp citrus accents. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a opulent but vibrant texture. $30 4 Stars/93 points
Spirits Reviews
The Bitter Truth Pinkgin Spiced Navy Flavored Gin
Very pale salmon color, crystal clear. The nose is very floral and fruity with waves of juniper and citrus and subtle notes of licorice. The palate is quite different than the nose as it delivers a bitter, pithy citrus core with tannic spice accents that fade on a thin finish. Medium-bodied and lacking a pleasing texture found in many Gins while highlighting citrus pith. We are not sure what they were aiming for in this Gin but we can’t imagine that they hit the mark. $34.99 – 2.5 Stars
