"Nose: Sea-salt, peat sherry. Body: Full, smooth. Palate: The dryness of the whisky itself is at first offset by the sweetness of the sherry character. As the palate develops, the salty notes in particular emerge."

"Cherry and tart red currant dominate the Chehalem 2010 Pinot Noir Three Vineyard which, as its name implies, incorporates fruit from all three estate locations, and essentially represents those barrels that weren’t selected to inform single vineyard bottlings. Buoyant, bright, and refreshing, it finishes with penetrating persistence allied to piquant nuttiness, if ultimately without a lot of complexity."

"The beer pours a cloudy, honey colored gold, with a very nice head.... The smell is loads of citrus, with plenty of orange and grapefruit....The taste is outstanding....It's fresh, crisp, and amazingly drinkable.."

"This is always one of my favorite wines when I'm looking for a bit of a new world style from Spain. Plum, black raspberry, sweet cedar, brown sugar and Asian spice on the nose which is followed by deep plum and black cherry flavors surrounded by velvety tannins and a rich lengthy finish." - Steve Reiter, Binny's Glen Ellyn

"Graham's 1991 Vintage Port gets my nod as the port of the vintage. While keeping in mind that Graham's aims for a sweeter-styled port, there is no doubting the opaque purple/black color, or the explosive nose of black fruits, licorice, spring flowers, and tar. Thick and full-bodied, with a satiny texture and a blockbuster, alcoholic finish, this is a top-notch vintage port."
