Wine Reviews

Line 39 Cabernet Sauvignon California 2023
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of boysenberry and black plum with supporting notes of cassis, black tea, black currant, and licorice. The palate echoes the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of blackberry, plum, cocoa, and baking spices. The finish is long and lingering with ripe tannins. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced with a supple texture. $11 – 3.5 Stars/89 points

Line 39 Sauvignon Blanc California 2024
Brilliant, light straw color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of red grapefruit, star fruit, and soursop with supporting notes of citrus zest, green tea, and tropical fruit. The palate echoes the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of pomelo, apricot stone, and chamomile. The finish is crisp. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced with a vibrant texture. $11 – 3.5 Stars/89 points

Spirits Reviews

Luxardo Espresso Liqueur
Brilliant, dark mahogany color. The nose is filled with scents of dark roasted espresso beans with supporting notes of dark chocolate with hints of vanilla bean and brown sugar. The palate is in full agreement with the nose while being a bit sweeter as the sugar adds depth to the espresso elongating the palate with notes of vanilla bean and cocoa nibs. Full-bodied and generous with espresso and supporting flavors — ideal for cocktails. $24.99 – 4 Stars
