Pomares - Douro 2021 - A delectable blend of three indigenous Portuguese varietals (40% Gouveio, 35% Viosinho, 25% Rabigato), the 2021 Quinta Nova Pomares Branco bursts with energy. It captures the beauty of the Douro, beginning with a fresh, beguiling bouquet. Savory scents of green apple, white peach, and lime eagerly greet the nose. In the mouth, the wine’s citrus and orchard fruit flavors have structure and finish smooth and dry.
Montepulciano D'Abruzzo - Color intense ruby red with purple hues. Fragrance intense fruit aromas with notes of black cherry and forest fruits blended with hints of spice. Taste full-flavored, soft with good length, sweet and silky tannins.
La Posta - Pizzella - Malbec 2021 - Notes of black fruit and sandalwood. Good body and low acidity. Tastes of blackberry and cherry with and earthy oak feel. Great spicy finish.

Spirits of the week
Garrison Brothers - Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey- As it matures, the bourbon cycles through the wood’s pores and crevices, soaking in the sugars from the sap, and yielding an aroma brimming of butterscotch, nutmeg, and vanilla. Notes of fruit dominate the palate, with hints of butter, whipped cream, angel food cake and oak. The finish is smooth, with chocolate and espresso notes. A true tour de force of flavor.
