Beverage of the Week
Tongue Dancer Wines “Magnolia Montrachet” Chardonnay Dry Creek Valley 2023 We are enjoying the third release of Tongue Dancer Wines (TDW) “Magnolia Montrachet” Chardonnay. The first wine from this great vineyard source was their “The Sly One” Chardonnay from 2021. The source vineyard, the Tolmasoff Vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley, is planted with the Montrachet clone — a name very familiar to white Burgundy lovers… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Maison Rémy Passot et Fils Beaujolais Cru Fleurie 2022
Brilliant, deep ruby/purple color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of raspberry, hibiscus flower, and red currant with supporting notes of red cherry, kumquat, pomegranate, and black tea. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of boysenberry, strawberry, and slate. The finish is long and lingering with ripe tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a supple texture. $27 – 4 Stars/92 points

The palate echoes the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of black plum, boysenberry, five spice, tart cherry, and oak. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a supple texture. $49 – 4.5 Stars/95 points

Brilliant, medium green/gold color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of honeysuckle, green apple, and bees wax with supporting notes of slate, chamomile, and Meyer lemon. The palate echoes the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of white peach, sudachi, apricot stone, lemongrass, grapefruit zest, and quince. The finish is long and lingering.

Spirits Reviews
Lucano Anniversario Amaro
Brilliant, deepest mahogany. The nose is luxurious and complex offering scents of wild mint, rhubarb, orange peel, licorice, cinnamon, and dried herbs. The palate echoes the nose delivering a lush but vibrant core of bitter herbs with fresh and dried citrus zest elongated on the palate with notes of minty fruitcake and vanilla bean. Full-bodied with incredible complexity, length, and ideal balance thanks to a generous dose of citrus-like acidity with peppery herbs. Made for Lucano’s 120th anniversary using an ancient recipe by Cav. Pasquale Vena — more potent and drier than their classic Amaro. $35.99 – 4.5 Stars
