A few months back I offered our Club a rare find of Jefferson’s Ocean Wheat. It was the only one of its kind. I snagged that barrel from Dan Burke the C.B.O (chief barrel officer) at Jefferson’s but that wasn’t the reason why I was there in the first place. In fact, I was actually there specifically to secure the barrel that I’m offering up today, which I thought would be the perfect thing to kick off the holiday season.
If you remember, I told you about Dan, the stoner surfer dude that lives in Kentucky, yes, Kentucky. He took a while to open up, but once I got him going, I think I got offered the really good sh*t. We were supposed to taste 15 samples to pick out this barrel. We ended up tasting 27… plus a few bonuses like that incredible Oceans NBR.
After 27 samples, you better believe what we scored is something really special. This is one of my best hauls ever – a rare single barrel of Jefferson’s Reserve at 100 Proof!!!
Tasting Notes: It leads with sweet aroma of warm panettone. Then the sweet delectable taste of fruit and honey. A warm burning at the end. And the flavor of this nectar stays on your taste buds more than a couple of minutes. Best consumed relaxing and enjoying on a holiday afternoon.

This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
Now some of the best Pinot Noir in the world comes from the Yamhill-Carlton District (this small neck of the woods has earned its own AVA) and specifically from Shea Vineyards. Big name wineries clamor for fruit: Antica Terra, Beaux Freres, Bergstrom, Penner-Ash, & Sine Qua Non, to name a few. This Pinot is lights out and even given the pedigree, drinks several echelons higher. Blueberry, Blackberry, Blue Cheese (?!?), chanterelle mushrooms, lavender, mint – I could go on. It’s literally got it all, but I won’t spoil it for you.
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
Our third single barrel of Whistle Pig and the first time we have our hands on their 6-year PiggyBack bottling. This one leads with a nose of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, butterscotch and toffee. On the palate, I get a lot of citrus & peach with a touch of lavender & black cherry. The finish here is strong & long with spicy dried fruits and caramel notes that linger. This one was distilled in house in Vermont, and as anyone can tell you with the farm releases, they always deliver the best of punches. This one comes in at 109.8 Proof.
