The Wines!!

Chateau Suau Bordeaux Blanc $12.99
This wine reveals complex aromas of honeysuckle, citrus and pineapple. It's refreshing and expressive. An excellent depth of fruit as well as a long finish with a nice acidity.
A very fresh bouquet for this dry white wine that shows a beautiful harmony between the exotic and white fruits. In the mouth, the Sauvignon brings power and character, while the Semillon brings a juicy and flavorful finish.

Alain de la Treille Rose' $13.99
This dry Rosé is a blend of 40% Gamay, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Pinot Noir. It is very aromatic with tons of fresh strawberry and watermelon type of flavors. The fruitiness is very elegant and the finish is nice and balanced.
MAISON ALAIN DE LA TREILLE is located in the heart of Loire Valley since 1885. Vineyards owner and winemaker, ALAIN DE LA TREILLE creates diverse and delicate wines on the most prestigious vineyards: Muscadet, Touraine, Vouvray, Sancerre.

Alain Jaume Haut de Brun Cotes du Rhone $14.99
The color is purple-tinged garnet. The nose displays aromas of fresh berries (wild raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry) and hints of spices. The palate is big and full-flavored, with silky-smooth tannins. The finish reveals touches of liquorice, garrigue and black pepper. A Côtes du Rhône with great complexity for an everyday drinking.

A classic Rhône to drink between 1 and 4 years. Best poured at 17°C.


Domaine de la Mordoree' La Remise $17.99
Color : deep red
Aromas : red fruits and black fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant) and flowers (violet, peony).
Palate : nice mouth feel, nice freshness
Drink within 4 to 5 years.
With its exceptional resistance to oxidation (due to Marselan) this wine will remain pleasant for a long time after opening the bottle.



Chateau Bellevue Cotes de Castillon Cuvee' Veilles Vignes $18.99
The wine offers a rich and intense bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry and strawberry. It is smooth and full in the mouth with a velvety texture. Acidity combined with firm but well-integrated tannins are a fine supporting cast to the black fruit flavors at the end.


The Beers!!

Ardent German Style Pilsner 4 pack $12.99


5% ABV •   36 IBU
A golden straw, clear pilsner with classic lager aroma that is clean and bready, with light grassiness from 100% Hallertauer mittelfrüh noble hops. Medium body and high carbonation accentuate the soft bitterness, malty sweetness and mild fruitiness. Ardent Pilsner is a crisp, refreshing German-style pils that finishes dry and clean with a creamy, long-lasting head that leaves rich lacing.

Collective Arts, Liquid Art Fest IPA, Mango, Vanilla, Passionfruit 4 pack $18.99


Done as part of the annual art fest to highlight up and coming artists.
Tons of mango, apricot, peach, and passion fruit. Tastes fairly sour thanks to the fruits, with some ripe fruit sweetness as well. The malt is barely there, except for a creamy dough/white bread presence. Hints of vanilla and lactose, but they are subdued. Finishes lightly dry with some mild weedy dankness. Just a light hint of astringent yeasty off-flavor lingers.

Firestone Under Currant Wild Ale, Bottle $14.99


6.3% ABV 4.26 BeerAdvocate
In 2018 we challenged ourselves to using an array of fruit new to our palettes and practices. When offered a high quality freshly picked Black Currant sample, we couldn’t resist. We present to you a metamorphosis for your senses.  Using 12 to 36month aged Agrestic Ale as a base, to which we add 1.5lbs/gal Black Currants, the beer undergoes the final maturation in our French Oak “Fruiders” for an additional four months.  A convergence of supple tannin and deep purple pigments, gooseberry jam, a mouth-watering acidity and earthy leather elicit notes of a beer having vinous roots.  A new variant to one of the Barrelworks pioneers is born. Santé!
