Mandorlaia Morellino di Scansano $22.99

Maremma, the coastal area of Southern Tuscany, is revealing its great potential for producing fine wines, and “I Massi” di Mandorlaia makes the case. Sangiovese, the backbone of Morellino, demonstrates power and elegance. Small percentages of Alicante, Merlot and Cabernet lend lushness. Dark intense purple color. Complex spicy and mineral notes lead to fruity aromas, round body, light acidic note well harmonized with powerful alcohol. Nice balsamic nose finish.

Hops – Warrior, Cascade, Citra, Simcoe


Two Roads "Lil Juicy" Double Dry Hopped New England style IPA, 4 pack 16 oz. $14.99

ABV 5.2%
An unfiltered, double dry hopped New England IPA that uses generous amounts of galaxy, citra and azacca hops.
The result is a “crushable” IPA with notes of tropical juicy fruits, orange, lemon-lime and florals.
