Cataldo Sauvignon Blanc (2009, Italy) (August 24, 2010): “…nice and refreshing, but a bit too apple-y for my taste!” [details]

Paumanok Festival Chardonnay (2009, New York) (August 11, 2010): “On the sweet side and almost a little sparkly.  Perfect for a special occasion.” [details]

Excelsior Chardonnay (2009, South Africa) (July 7, 2010): “Very cheap, but fairly decent…Quite fruity and lemony, but not at all sharp or vinegar-like.” [details]

Bandit Pinot Grigio (July 2, 2010): “The innovative packaging is a huge plus for certain situations, and it’s worlds better than other “boxed” wine.” [details]

WINES – SPARKLING

Louise d’Estree Brut (July 25, 2010): “Under $10 and perfectly enjoyable.” [details]

Fire Island Lighthouse Ale (July 6, 2010): “It’s a pretty light beer – kinda similar to, like, Stella.  Tasty and refreshing.” [details]

Pretty Things Baby Tree Quadrupel (July 3, 2010): “winner!  It doesn’t taste puckeringly bitter like some high-ABV beers, and has almost a earthy-fruity taste that’s is quite smooth.” [details]
