The Wines!!

Michelet Chablis 2015 $22.99
Chablis is famous for crisp, unoaked, mineral-tinged Chardonnays in northern Burgundy.  Michelet's Chablis is powerfully aromatic with white flowers, fresh fruit, lime, and citrus aromas.  It is a wonderful accompaniment to shellfish, oysters, fish, veal, and foie gras. 

Rated one of the Year's Best White Burgundies by Wine & Spirits Magazine. 


Le Jade Viognier 2017 $9.99
Viognier, a grape famous in Virginia, is actually believed to have originated in Dalmatia.  Here in Southern France the grape enjoys warm sunny summers that help it develop heady aromas of honeysuckle, melon, guava, and ripe peach.  It is full and rich on the finish.  Almost opulent with just a tinge of acidity that makes it bright and fresh.  It works very well with richer dishes and even spicy curry sauce.

Reverdy Sancerre Rouge 2016 $19.99
Sancerre is most famously an expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, but as a red or rose wine it is 100% Pinot Noir!  The wine is spicy and juicy with cherry aromas and it pairs well with rabbit, roasted poultry, and ham. 

Domaine Manoir du Carra Julienas 2015 $17.99
Some of the finest and most age-worthy expressions of the Gamay grape come not from the fresh and fruity Beaujolais Nouveau, but from the hilly "cru" regions of the north.  This wine exhibits a red plum and cranberry-scented bouquet that is nicely defined.  Very fresh, with supple tannins and a purity of fruit.   Pair it with game, poultry, and cheese. 

Chateau Trois Moulins Haut Medoc 2015 $22.99
A flour mill just nearby explains the origin of this cru bourgeois’ name, which means “three mills”. Already in its day, it attracted English and Dutch connoisseurs. History continues for this ruby-colored, subtle wine with its elegant bouquet of jammy red fruits. It is subtle and very round on the palate and has a long powerful finish.  Made from 52% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. 

Another great example from the classic 2015 Bordeaux vintage!

The Beers!!

Ardent German Style Pilsener 4 pack $12.99


5% ABV • 36 IBU
Ardent Pilsner is 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.

Parkway  Brewing "Four Damn Fights to a Pint" Double IPA 4 pack $15.99


9.5% ABV, 165 IBU's
This delicious Double IPA uses a variety of hops including Galaxy, Azzaca and Centennial. Four Damn Fights has notes of citrus and tropical fruits, stone fruit and grass, as well as earthy/mineral and spicy notes.

Alewerks Black Forest Barrel Stout 4 pack $24.99/ 1 - $6.99

9.5% ABV
Inspired by the famous dessert, this beer recipe developed from barrels of unusual history. The imperial chocolate stout is aged in oak touched by Bourbon and brandy; Montmorency sour cherries are added to the barrels, and the result is a genuine dessert course in a glass.
Hints of bourbon complement a creamy sweetness, as well as distinct notes of cherry, chocolate, and vanilla.
