William Church Winery Event And Tasting At The Cork And Tap

Friday night The Cork and Tap, in Coeur d'Alene, held a tasting event featuring wines from the William Church Winery located here in Washington State. In addition to the wine, winery owners Rod and Leslie Balsley were on-hand to answer any questions patrons had.

We tasted four wines starting with a white:
2013 Viognier
2012 Bishop's Blend
2012 Syrah
2012 Cabernet Sauvignon

All four of these wines from the William Church Winery, were hands down, the best wines we've ever tasted. In fact we enjoyed them so much we brought home a bottle of both the Syrah and the Cabernet Sauvignon to review on isitworthit.guru in the coming month.

Turnout for the event was a bit light, but that gave time to talk one-on-one with Rod. I learned a great deal about wine and wine making, it was a lesson I'll soon not forget.

I've personally been on a quest to find a red wine that I like most of my adult life. Until The Cork and Tap opened it's doors I've had no success at all. The Cork and Tap owner's Mike and Trish, both know wine and I've learned more the last few months than I have the previous 30 years.

The Cork and Tap offers daily wine tasting and they have four beers on tap at all times. Paying them a visit is worth the trip from Spokane to Coeur d'Alene. Keep an eye on their social media accounts for the next event, or heck just stop on buy.

Amazing Camacho Facebook Post

I was truly humbled to see this Camacho Cigars Facebook post yesterday. Thank you!

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these Tryst e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic. You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
