| 1. | ‘Gradual’ Douro Doc 2022 (Douro, Portugal) Nice rich palate, not as rich as Amarone, and balanced puckering finish. Apparently the Douro Valley is where Port originates from. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 2. | ‘Laguezzelle’ B. Taillandier, Minervois 2024 (Languedoc-Roussillon, France) Tasty, light red best served chilled. Perfectly balanced dryness. | Wine | love | Amy | |

| 4. | 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriekenlambik Amy loves, bc she loves sour and funk. Not surprisingly, Stefan winces when he drinks it. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 5. | A Table!!! Rose, Mas del Perie (Cahors, France) Meaty rose made with skin contact with Malbec, Merlot, and Tannat. Slight acidity. | Wine | love | Amy | |

| 9. | Arenisca Los Pilones Tinto, Cantalapiedra Viticultores 2023 (Toro, Spain) Made with a clone of Tempranillo. Quite dry, dark fruit notes, lovely bouquet. Amy loves almost as much as Amarone. Stef just likes, not loves. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 10. | Au Baron Cuvée des Jonquilles Very tasty, bit of a light malty taste. Drifts into Love but could be decent. More so here because it’s a great representation of a farmhouse ale. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 11. | Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen Malty and slightly sweet, very good expression of a marzen. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 12. | Barrique Brewing & Blending Equal Parts Just a tasty pilsner!!! | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 13. | Blaugies La Vermontoise I love it; Stef thinks it’s middling. We generally don’t like Hill Farmstead, but maybe I love it because it’s a collab between them and a Belgian brewery. A lighter tasting Hill Farmstead. | Beer | love | Amy | |
| 14. | Bluecoat | Gin | love | Stefan | |
| 15. | Bols Genever | Gin | love | Stefan | |
| 16. | Boon Framboise Very light rasberry beer - refreshing in summer | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 17. | Boon Geuze Selection Tasty lambic. Get when you can. 8/1/26 - tasty as usual, but it is a keg fermented gueze so not quite as amazing as bottle conditioned. Tasty is a good classification. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 18. | Boon Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek Had in February 2022 at Monks cafe with Emma & Amy. Dark and purple but bright, really good. Sour finish. | Beer | love | Stefan | |

| 23. | Cantillon Gueuze The benchmark of exceptional beer. The best. | Beer | love | Stefan | |

| 26. | Chimay Dorée Very clean ale that drinks like a pils Good as always! | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 27. | Chimay Red Classic Belgian Trappist ale. Anytime a beer menu has either this Chimay or a Westmalle Dubbel, we’re game. | Beer | love | Amy | |

| 39. | Dupont Moinette Blonde We both love! Can’t believe this blonde is 8.5% abv. | Beer | love | Amy | |
| 40. | Dupont Monk’s Stout Standard-bearer of a stout. Stef says not quite, much lighter and effervescent: much lighter body due to more CO2. | Beer | love | Amy | |
| 41. | Extra Brut Vouvray, Domaine du Facteur (Vouvray, Loire) 100% Chenin Blanc bubbly made in Champagne style. Stef loves this bubbly; Amy thinks it tastes like cider. | Wine | love | ||
| 42. | Foradori Teroldego Red, Azienda Agricola Foradori 2024 (Trentino, Italy) Second time we’ve had this wine, this time from Lovat. First time, Paul at Eighth & Driggs recommended it, and we still like. Just tastes like a classic Italian red. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 43. | Fox Farm Brewery Epilogue Woahwieeee!!! Funky funky funky with a wiiiiiild sour note. 11/10 funk! | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 44. | Frapin The heart of good old-fashioned Sazerac, what we might call an opinionated Sazerac. Absinthe makes a cocktail, but this is a really fine companion. Unusual Pitoniak respect very tasty smooth cognacy? And if you don’t know what that means you never will. Final testament, SFL. | Cognac | love | Stefan | |
| 45. | Getariako Txakolina, Gañeta 2025 (País Vasco, Spain) One of the best whites we’ve had. Very tasty. Amy thinks it’s borderline apple-juicy but has enough minerality in the foreground that makes it nice. | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 46. | Geuze Mariage Parfait Very tasty 750ml we had in Ghent | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 47. | Giffard Banane du Bresil Liqueur You like banana? Yes. Liquor with a clean banana flavor, no chemical aftertaste. Makes on OK negroni, explore. Mezcal and a different amaro? Would be best in a tiki drink. | Amaro Aperitif Vermouth | love | Stefan | |

| 53. | Hendrick’s | Gin | love | Stefan | |
| 54. | Herradura Anejo | Tequila | love | Stefan | |

| 61. | Lagavulin 16 | Whiskey | love | Stefan | |
| 62. | Langhe Nebbiolo, DeForville 2025 Tasty Piedmont, punches above its weight taste wise. Very good. | Beer | love | ||
| 63. | Laterradi Armagnac 1990 Armagnacs are really a hidden gem, tasty, inexpensive, and frankly better than most cognac. This is a tasty example, nothing actually exceptional but very nice. | Cognac | love | Stefan | |
| 64. | Le Facteur Su’l’Velo, Domaine du Facteur (Vouvray, Loire) 100% Chenin Blanc made on limestone, so chalky. Fresh, and punchier in the front. Fabien Brutout said the limestone was sourced from a castle. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 65. | Les Acacias, Mas del Perie (Cahors, France) 100% Malbec, young, spicy with dark fruit flavor. Fabien Jouves said his wines are like tea infusions- diffusion over time does the work. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 66. | Lillet Blanc Super light Vermouth esque, makes a great martini | Amaro Aperitif Vermouth | love | Stefan | |
| 67. | Lindemans Cuvée René Oude Kriek One of our standbys from Foodery. Very tasty and solid, lightly tart. My go to when I can’t get a good gueze. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 68. | Little James’ Basket, Château de Saint Cosme (Languedoc, France) viognier blend | Wine | love | Stefan | |
| 69. | Maceration, Domaine du Facteur (Vouvray, Loire) Dry white; mix of Chenin Blanc and Sauv Blanc. Punchy in the back. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 70. | Maine Beer Co. Dinner Really tasty pilsner like beer that is technically a DIPA. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 71. | Manzanilla ‘Deliciosa’, Valdespino (Andalusia, Spain)) Second time having it, fresh fortified wine needs to make an appearance at least a couple times a year. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 72. | Monk's Cafe Cuvee De Monk's Gueuze Cantillon and Monk's collab from 2020, absolutely fantastic as expected. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 73. | Morandina Amarone Della Valpolicella, Pra 2018 (Veneto, Italy) Curious to try this alongside the Speri to compare. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 74. | Naked Orange, Heinrich 2024 (Burgenland, Austria) I don’t know if it’s because I had the Spanish bretty (Brettomyces) orange last week, and so I love this for being far more palatable. Natural skin contact white blend. Stef says there a touch of funk, but I think the light funk is what makes natural wines interesting, the light brandy quality to it. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 75. | New Trail Amber Ale Corona-drinkable, lighter than red ales | Beer | love | Amy | |
| 76. | Nigori - kunizakari “Unfiltered” - pretty tasty and similar to a Makgeoli type korean rice beer | Sake | love | Stefan | |
| 77. | Nikka Coffee | Whiskey | love | Stefan | |
| 78. | Oban | Whiskey | love | Stefan | |
| 79. | OEC Brewing Oud Tempus (Blend #3) SSSSSSOOOUUURRR. Tasty! Sour as god though. | Beer | love | Stefan | |
| 80. | OEC Brewing Tempus (Blend #17) Sour as heck, milder than the #3. Tasty, would be Amy’s jam more than Stefan’s. | Beer | love | Stefan | |

| 96. | The Lost Abbey Red Poppy Grand Cru (San Marcos, CA) Tastes like the Russian River beers fermented in red wine barrels. Fabulous. | Beer | love | Amy | |
| 97. | Trillium Beer (New England) Reminds me of a lambic; it’s advertised as an American Wild Ale fermented with wildflower honey, but has the lambic nose and taste. | Beer | love | Amy | |
| 98. | Tu Vins Plus Aux Soirées, Mas del Perie (Cahors, France) Light red that is ridiculously drinkable. Fabien Jouves said this is the one to drink as you cook, put in the food, and drink with the food. Delightful light table red. | Wine | love | Amy | |
| 99. | Turley Juvenile Zinfandel 2024 (Napa, California) Extremely drinkable napa zinfandel. Medium to full bodied but modest. Drinks closer to a cab without being overwhelming.

| 104. | Willet Rye The best whiskey in the Kentucky IMO | Whiskey | love | Stefan |
