Beverage of the Week
Troon Vineyard Kubli Bench Rosé Applegate Valley 2019
Made with a unique blend of 60% Tinta Roriz, 35% Primotivo, and 5% Grenache. This is the first Troon Rosé that we have seen and perhaps their first Rosé (certainly in the modern era of Troon Vineyard that started in 2016). This Rosé is certainly made in the crisp, refreshing, and moderate alcohol style that we love. See the Beverage of the Week feature

Spirits Reviews
Grand Macnish 12 Years Old Blended Scotch Whisky
Brilliant, golden amber color. The nose is rich with waves of smoke, roasted nuts, baked apples, oak, and brown baking spices. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a round fruit-driven core with accents of spice, wood and a hint of chocoltae. Medium-bodied with a nice sense of balance while we wanted a more sustained palate and a bigger malt punch. $26.99 – 3.5 Stars
Wine Reviews
Troon Vineyard Kubli Bench Amber Applegate Valley 2019
Hazy, medium gold/amber color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of quince and lemon curd with supporting notes of lychee, burnt sugar, and sandalwood. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a tropical fruits-driven core with flavors of Asian pear, pineapple, wet river stones, and citrus zest. The finish is long and lingering. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant yet rich texture. $30 4 Stars/92 points
