Episode 138: Bully Hill Special Reserve St. Croix

Summary: The episode where you find out how Kate became the Prince of Bel Air Who is there: Chris, Jen, Kate, Joe, Tim About the wine: This wine was developed by Elmer Swenson way back in 1983 especially to grow in the cold climate of Minnesota. We come to the sad realization that Kate was not born yet in 1983.... Color: Super dark purple in color Nose: Spice, basil, salt, dark berries Taste: It’s like drinking blood that’s been soaked in an oak cask, low in tannins, smooth and deep in flavor with a pleasing aftertaste. Because it isn’t high in tannins, you should drink it rather than hold on to it. Pair it with: “stinky” cheese (says Bryan) Scores Chris: A Probationary 90 Bryan: 93 for them to be able to make a wine this tasty with a rather new hybrid grape for $12 is incredible Jen: 89 I like hybrids, I like the bloodiness and food friendliness of it. It’s so dark and brooding Kate: 89 It’s so dark and brooding, I feel like I want to try to save this wine.
