Alain de la Treille Touraine, $12.99

Featured in The Washington Post This week!!
Crisp and refreshing, with rich, ripe lime and grapefruit aromas. Great elegance with mineral style and despite everything some kind of roundness.

Alain de la Treille Rose' $13.99
This dry Rosé is a blend of 40% Gamay, 40% Cabernet Franc 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.

Perchaud Chablis AOC, $25.99
A classic Chablis with aromas of ripe white fruits, citrus and a taste of rich minerals.

Chateau de Segries, Cotes du Rhone Rouge $17.99
The wine is ripe, rich and round, with black raspberry, white pepper and spice flavors. Good concentration and acidity.
A true Cotes du Rhone in a Bistro style.

Chateau des Arnauds, Bordeaux Rouge $14.99
The wine shows a deep red purple color and intense aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, black cherry) with hints of liquorice.
Very fruity and well-balanced. It is powerful and well structured in the mouth with round and silky tannins, ripe flavors of black fruits.
Strong and a slightly spicy finish.

CastelMaure Grande Cuvee, Corbieres $16.99
Deep and intense color, powerful aromas of dark berry fruit, prune and coffee nuances, and a persistent finish.




The Beers!!
Hardywood Fresh, Five Flavors Ale, 4 pack $15.99
a tart ale which harkens back to those five original flavors– cherry, orange, lime, lemon, and pineapple.

Solace Brewing, Juicy Lucy, 4 pack $17.99
Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that coats the beer nicely.
Aroma of grass, resin, tons of grapefruit, light oranges, curacao, a touch of peaches, bunches of apricots and a little bit of the alcohol noticeable near the end.

Straffe Hendrick Wild, 4 pack $21.99
a wild version of the famous Straffe Hendrik Tripel.
The tradional tripel beer is refermented with a wild Brettanomyces yeast, that creates unusual fruity aromas in harmony with the rich use of aroma rich hop varieties.
The wild yeasts also provide a longer natural shelf life to the beer and taste developing over the years.
