Beverage of the Week
Ayinger Jahrhundert-Bier (Germany)
The great Beers from Ayinger have been available in the US for more than two decades. Our BOW, the great Jahrhundert-Bier was first created in 1978 to celebrate the brewery’s 100th anniversary. We love everything about this classic German lager.

Wine Reviews
Guidobono Loreto Nebbiolo d’Alba 2020
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of black cherry, thyme, and earth with supporting notes of anise, red currant, black tea, and leather. The palate confirms the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of raspberry, five spice, elderberry, rose petals, and clay. The finish is long and lingering with silky tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with an opulent texture. $26 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
Spirits Reviews
Isle of Skye 12 Years Old Blended Scotch Whisky
Brilliant, pale copper color. The nose is filled with the scents of vanilla-accented cereal with waves of honey, orange peel, and heather with faint hints of smoke and pickling spices. The palate echoes the nose delivering a fruit-forward core with loads of dried apricot with supporting notes of star fruit, dry baking spices, and a bit of citrus and chocolate rising on the finish. Medium to full-bodied with nice balance as it brings together fruit and spice with subtle smoke accents. $27.99 – 3.5 Stars
