Beverage of the Week
Terra Vina Mourvedre Columbia Valley NV
This unique Mourvedre is made of wine from two vintages and fruit from two different states. It’s big and bold while ideally balanced with bright natural acidity. We love this Rhone inspired wine from the Pacific Northwest… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Spirits Reviews
Cubaney Gran Reserva 12 Years Old Rum
Deep mahogany color. Aromatic notes of vanilla, cola, treacle, and dark molasses fill the nose accented by exotic hints of clove, allspice, Bourbon, and black pepper. The palate echoes the nose delivering sweet molasses and spice notes with a soft trailing semi-sweet and spicy finish. Medium-bodied being slightly viscous with crisp pepper and dry spice notes. $34.99 – 3 Stars

The palate echoes the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black fruits, dark chocolate, and fruitcake. The finish is long and lingering with silky tannins.
