Beverage of the Week
Tablas Creek Côtes de Tablas Adelaida District 2018
This rich and hedonistic wine is made with a classic Rhône blend of 45% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 12% Counoise, and 10% Mourvédre. The 2018 vintage provided near ideal conditions with cooler than normal temperature with a six week heatwave in July to August followed by moderate temperatures again before harvest… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Wine Reviews
Diez-Caballero Reserva Rioja 2010
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of red cherry and earth with supporting notes of fig, cedar, and oak. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of red plum, dried herbs, mineral, and five spice. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a opulent texture. $19.99 4 Stars/92 points
Spirits Reviews
Laphroaig Lore Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Brilliant, deep mahogany. The aromatics leap from the glass in a full attack of dense peat smoke, sea salt, and oak with accents of citrus, roasted nuts, toasted grains, and damp leaves. The palate echoes the nose delivering an exploding peat bomb with flanking notes of seaweed, sweet malt, and assertive spice and oak notes. Full-bodied with a sledgehammer of peat and oak. $124.99 – 3 Stars
