2018 Pascal Jolivet "Attitude" Sauvignon Blanc, Loir Valley FR $

The minerality gives a long finish to the wine, a smoothness and elegance – characteristics of all of Pascal Jolivet’s wines.Very pleasant with or without food, in particular with seafood, asparagus, roasted fish and goat’s milk cheese. “Attitude” is the epitome of Pascal Jolivet’s style of wines. It has international appeal and characterises the evolution of a new generation of Sauvignon Blanc.

2016 Rabble Zinfandel, Paso Robles AVA $
Vibrant notes of boysenberry, violet and sweet cake batter lift from the glass. The palate bursts with flavors of raspberry jam, cocoa and a hint of black pepper. Youthful acidity and chalky minerality are the backbone of this wine, while sweet oak tannins round out the finish.

The Beers!!

Cigar City Jai Alai IPA, 6 pack $12.99
Jai Alai, a game native to the Basque region of Spain, is played on a court called a fronton. Jai Alai players attempt to catch a ball using a curved mitt whilst the ball travels at speeds up to 188 mph! Proving they have a sense of humor the Spanish dubbed this game, with its ball traveling at race car speeds, “the merry game.” Tampa was once home to a bustling Jai Alai fronton but sadly all that remains of Jai Alai in the Tampa Bay area is this India Pale Ale that we brew in tribute to the merry game. The India Pale Ale style of beer has its roots in the ales sent from England to thirsty British troops in India during the 18th century. Pair Jai Alai India Pale Ale with beef empanadas, deviled crabs and other spicy dishes.?


Bronx Brewery "Now Youse Can't Leave" IPA, 4 pack $14.99
 A massive double IPA you won't walk away from. 
This big, double IPA delivers massive fruit hop flavor & aromas balanced by a solid malt character. 
Once you bust it open, you won't be able to walk away from this brew.


Lickinghole Creek Black Forest Witch Stout, 25 oz. $19.99
This Imperial Chocolate Stout was laid to rest in French Cognac Barrels which imparted deep notes of oak, stone fruit and cocoa powder. We then en-robed this bold barreled aged stout with pounds of coco nibs, fresh vanilla and sour cherries to give the appeal of biting into a dense yet moist piece of Black Forrest cake.
Take a sip of what this witch has been brewing in her cauldron.
