Beverage of the Week
Troon Vineyard Cuvée Pyrénées Applegate Valley 2018 The ultimate pairing of Tannat and Malbec found in Troon’s Cuvée Pyrénées in the third vintage of this inspired red blend. Troon calls their Cuvée Pyrénées a “statement wine” as they feel it demonstrates the sum of the great fruit from their estate vineyards paired with their winemaking philosophy… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Wine Reviews
Tenuta Montauto Silio Ciliegiolo IGT Toscano 2018
Brilliant, medium ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of red cherry and cocoa with supporting notes of red plum, mineral, cassis, and dried herbs. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of black currant, hibiscus flower, anise, and five spice. The finish is long and lingering with silky tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a supple texture. $19 4 Stars/91 points
Spirits Reviews
New Holland Knickerbocker Barrel Gin
Brilliant, pale golden straw. The aromatics are very interesting and certainly barrel-driven with scents of cola and Whiskey with accents of ginger, sweet citrus, and a host of brown baking spices supported by hints of brown sugar. The palate is in somewhat agreement with the nose as the decadent Whiskey and brown spice notes give way to peppery ginger and citrus notes that become redolent of lemongrass and citronelle. Full-bodied with dense brown spirit and brown spice notes that are foiled by citrus and ginger ultimately becoming dry. $29.99 – 3.5 Stars
