Beverage of the Week
Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Blanc Paso Robles 2020
This complex and delicious white is a careful blend of five varietals: 40% Grenache Blanc, 19% Roussanne, 21% Viognier, 15% Marsanne, and 5% Clairette Blanche.

Wine Reviews
Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Paso Robles 2019
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of black plum and boysenberry with supporting notes of black tea, forest floor, violet, and five spice. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black cherry, graphite, balsamic, cocoa, and mineral. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a dense, meaty texture. $60 – 5 Stars/97 points
Tablas Creek Mourvedre Paso Robles 2019

The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of blackberry, baking spices, forest floor, and dried herbs. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a meaty texture. $45 – 4.5 Stars/96 points
Spirits Reviews
Ballotin Carmel Turtle Chocolate Flavored Whiskey
Brilliant, golden amber color. The nose reveals a dessert in a glass with waves of sweet caramel with pecan brittle and decadent dark chocolate. The palate confirms the nose delivering a rich, caramel-focused core with supporting notes of toasted nuts, chocolate, butter cream, and hints of Whiskey. Medium to full-bodied with a viscous palate feel that elongates the candy shop flavors. $25 – 4 Stars
