Pilsner style beer from Maryland. Aromas of citrus peel with some floral notes as well. On the palate a nice crisp flavor with lemon and spics notes. A nice refreshing beer for the summer.

The most delicious and exotic version of this long-time favorite we've ever tasted. Think Viognier with a nice kick of cistrus and mouthwatering minerality. Hard to resist.
If you find yourself at café table in Alto Adige around 6pm on a crisp, mountain, summer night, this is what you drink (well, if you’re not having a spritz). Vinous captures it nicely: The 2023 Kerner is delicately... Read More

As always, this is a darker, richer, take on Brunello that's lifted nicely by 2019's freshening acids. While it's even better to wait, no reason not to enjoy a bottle or two now!
