Beverage of the Week
Leinenkugel’s Canoe Paddler (USA)
Leinenkugel’s offers over a dozen different styles including a collection of seasonable beers like their “Canoe Paddler”, a classically styled Kolsch beer. Luckily, the Canoe Paddler has earned such a following that it is now available all year. We absolutely love the Canoe Paddler as it has everything a lover of classic European beers seek.

Spirits Reviews
Camus Seraphin XO Cognac
Deep chestnut, amber color. The nose is dense and expressive with rich aromas of dates, dried apricots, butter toffee, and baked apples, with accents of exotic brown baking spices and oak. The palate echoes the nose being rich and lush while dry with complimenting notes of roasted almonds and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied while being decidedly sweet and slightly viscous. $129 – 3.5 Stars
Wine Reviews
Villa Spinosa Amarone della Valpolicella 2008
Brilliant, deep crimson color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of black plum and black currant with supporting notes of black tea, mocha, cigar box, and vanilla. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black fruits and truffle. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a opulent texture. $85 4 Stars/92 points
Livia Antica Greco di Tufo DOCG 2018
Brilliant, light pale straw color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of green melon and kiwi with supporting notes of citrus zest, orange peel, and honeysuckle. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of red grapefruit and apricot. The finish is crisp. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced with a vibrant texture. $15 3.5 Stars/89 points
