.. a few excerpts from our reviews

Grappa of Zin:
“…the Grappa of Zinfandel, loaded with golden raisin and dried dark fruit flavors, is an approachable, sippable delight.”
--Chris Sawyer, The San Francisco Chronicle

89 Points; “Highly Recommended”
--Beverage Testing Institute

“…deep, rich aromas of dried berries, currants, leather and licorice with hints of rose petal, cocoa, spice and cedar. Bold and powerful flavors of mixed berry, black fruits, straw, leather, sawdust, black cherry and plum close in a complex, rounded, lengthy finish.”
--The Underground Wine Journal

Poire William:
“…you’ll swear there’s a pear in every sip.”
--Carol Emert, Wine&Spirits

*****  (Five out of Five Stars)
“This is what eau de vie is all about…”

“Brilliant fruit essence begs for hours of nosing this pure fruit elixir. Refined and elegant on the palate, it offers rich, viscous, fresh pear flavor and elusive delicate spice notes.”
--The Underground Wine Journal

Kirsch:
**** (Four out of Five Stars); “explodes with aromas of freshly-baked cherry pie…”
--WineToday.com


“…walnut, mineral, rose petal and elusive cherry aromas offering substantial perfumed character…lively and floral with forward cherry blossom, plum, and cherry fruit flavors.”
--The Underground Wine Journal

Framboise:
“…bright, fresh, fragrant aromas of fresh raspberry, sweet plum and cherry notes…incredibly smooth and supple with mildly spicy raspberry fruit, dried currants and sweet cherry.”
--The Underground Wine Journal

Single Malt:
“Complex floral undertones and flavors of nut brittle and cocoa emerge on the palate…The finish has the clean elegance of a good sauvignon blanc.”
--Florence Fabricant, The New York Times

“…a floral, vanilla nose that turns to chocolate and plays a sweet cocoa tune on the tongue.”
--Shelley Handler, 7x7 San Francisco
