Beverage of the Week
Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Adelaida District 2022
The 2022 Esprit de Tablas is a charming and nuanced Châteauneuf du Pape tribute created in Paso Robles by Tablas Creek. This is Tablas Creek’s flagship red blend, and it never fails to impress. It’s crafted with 40% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 4% Vaccarese, 3% Counoise, and 3% Cinsaut. The blend changes from vintage to vintage, but the Esprit de Tablas is always led by Mourvedre… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Wine Reviews
Legado de Farro Verdejo Godello Castilla y Leon 2023
Brilliant, light gold/green color. The nose is moderately intense, offering scents of citrus zest, spring flowers, and nectarine with supporting notes of green tea, guava, and apple. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of green apple, slate, grapefruit, and peach. The finish is crisp. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. $14.99 – 4 Stars/91 points
Spirits Reviews
Nooku Bourbon Cream
Thick, tan and creamy. The aromatics are subtle, while the scent of Bourbon surely shines through with supporting notes of vanilla cream and roasted nuts. The palate is in agreement with the nose, delivering a creamy Bourbon and caramel-focused core with accents of toffee and mocha fudge. Medium-bodied with incredible viscosity coating every corner of your mouth while maintaining an ideal balance. $32.99 – 4 Stars
Disaronno Velvet — 2024 Gift Pack Liqueur
Creamy, opaque alabaster appearance. The nose is largely reminiscent of classic Amaretto with pretty floral scents with candied almonds, apricot stone, and vanilla. The palate echoes the nose, delivering a rich, chocolate, and fruit-driven core with waves of vanilla cream and chocolate-covered cherries. Medium-bodied and very silky, being quite viscous and long lingering on the palate. This gift pack comes with two, branded highball glasses. $39.99 – 3.5 Stars
Old Elk 2024 Gift Pack Straight Wheat Whiskey
Brilliant, bronze to amber color. The aromatics are very engaging, with scents of sweet grains, honey, caramel, and vanilla bean with accents of dried fruits and toasted oak. The palate echoes the nose, delivering a rich, baked fruit-driven core with waves of baking spices, toffee, and vanilla with hints of oak and black pepper. Full-bodied with ideal balance and great length on the palate — it carries its strength with style and grace. This gift pack also comes with a matte black elk head pourer that fits on top of the bottle. $65 – 4.5 Stars
