Beverage of the Week
Murphy’s Stout (Ireland)
Move over Guinness! There is more than one Irish Stout to enjoy this St. Patrick’s Day (and every day beyond). Murphy’s is less bitter and creamier while still being dry and refreshing — a session-ready Stout — with subtle coffee accents.

Tongue Dancer Wines Vineyard eleven Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2023
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of red cherry, thyme, and slate with supporting notes of five spice, vanilla, hibiscus flower, and black tea. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of raspberry, dried herbs, and mulberry. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with an opulent texture. $69 – 5 Stars/99 points

Brilliant, medium gold/green color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of lemon curd, lychee, and citrus zest with supporting notes of meringue, apricot stone, slate, and brioche. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of white peach, orange peel, tropical fruit, and quince paste.
