Beverage of the Week
Gecaj Estate Owner’s Choice Petit Verdot Rahovec Valley 2017
This amazing Petit Verdot is made through a special selection of top grapes that are hand-harvested from their estate vineyards. This particular vineyard enjoys 10 to 12 hours of sunlight per day. The resulting wine is opulent and fruit-driven while generous with notes of exotic spices, herbs, and earth. Bravo!

Wine Reviews
Chateau Font Barriele Les Vignes D’Heloise Costieres De Nimes 2019
Brilliant, dark ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of violet, black plum, and forest floor with supporting notes of black tea, dried herbs, mineral, leather, and cigar box. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of black cherry, blueberry, mocha, slate, and tapenade. The finish is long and lingering with firm tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a meaty texture. $25 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
Domaine Notre Dame des Pallieres – Les Rieus Cotes-du-Rhone, Rouge 2019
Brilliant, deep scarlet color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of red cherry and wild berries with supporting notes of fresh herbs, hibiscus flower, vanilla, and black pepper. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of black plum and strawberry. The finish is long and lingering with ripe tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a supple texture. $14.99 – 4 Stars/92 points
Spirits Reviews
The Singleton of Glendullan 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Brilliant bronze color. The nose is wonderfully fresh and complex with notes of baked tropical fruits, orange, shortbread, and toffee. The palate fully agrees with the nose being beautifully proportioned offering a subtle tapestry of malt, fruit, and spice and a hint of vanilla. Medium-bodied with nice balance with bright fruit accents. A delicate style of malt best enjoyed as an aperitif. $50 – 3.5 Stars
