I also got to taste the Son of Bourye. It was much more integrated than how I remember the Bourye. The Bourye tasted like a bourbon and a rye with a wall between them. SoB tastes more like just one whiskey.
I think I'm going to have to make it a point to pick up a bottle of the Bourye before there aren't any more left.
I also had a chance to meet MrViognier. Great to see you Mat!
Great to meet you, too!

Old Potrero last night, Saz 18 tonight.
Which Old Potrero rye do you like the best? I have limited experience with the label, but may have to take a tour of the distillery next time I am in San Francisco and fix this problem.
Nope...but a wholesaler started by ex-Republic folks: Pioneer Wine Co. The product should be hitting shelves soon...please let me know when you see it!Quote:

Perhaps if it were stronger than 90 proof it would have more zing but I'm enjoying it just the same.Quote:
