Beverage of the Week
2Hawk Malbec Rogue Valley 2017 (USA)
2Hawk shows us what New World Malbec can be. It’s balanced, nuanced, with loads of earth and spice acting as the perfect companion to the dense black fruits. This is 2Hawk’s first estate Malbec and it’s a strong statement… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Spirits Reviews
Corazón Reposado, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, crystal clear with a soft amber hue. The nose is rather pretty and more subtle than the blanco offering scents of baked agave, caramel, allspice, nutmeg and hints of citrus. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a lush core that showcases the baked agave while becoming woody at times leading to a long finish punctuated by caramel and brown spices. Medium-bodied with a rich core that becomes drier on the finish providing a vibrant dose of acidity. $34.99 – 3.5 Stars
Wine Reviews
Trivento Reserve Malbec Mendoza 2019
Trivento Reserve Malbec Mendoza 2019
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of red cherry and raspberry with supporting notes of earth, black tea, and slate. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of plum, red currant, and mineral. The finish is long and lingering with ripe tannins. Medium to full-bodied and nicely balanced with a chewy texture. $10.99 4 Stars/92 points
Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon Valle Central NV
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of black fruits and plum with supporting notes of cocoa and baking spices. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and black plum. The finish is long and lingering with silky tannins. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced with a velvety texture. $6.99 3.5 Stars/87 points
