BY THE GLASS OPTIONS

Zenato 2017 Amarone Classico (Veneto, Italy)

Dense and concentrated, yet still beautifully balanced and well-integrated, this is classic Amarone. Lush aromas of plums, dates and toasted oak greet the nose.

An elegant, open-knit version, with bitter plum and cherry notes lined with light bergamot and red tea hints. There’s a dash of cedar through the finish.

Seven Apart 2019 Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley, California)

This luscious wine is bright, polished and high-powered. The red-purple hue is notable, hinting at the freshness and intensity of the aromas. Red cherry, raspberry, and fresh tobacco come to mind, with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, graphite, and California bay. On the palate there is a rush of red fruits, which continues to build in intensity as the wine is savored. The texture is incredibly fine-grained and silky, while the fruit at the wine’s core expands and lengthens on the finish.
($60.00 per glass)

This cult classic, hazy IPA is still brewed with copious amounts of peaches, vanilla, and lactose just as before. This go around utilizing HBC 586 in both hot side and the dry hop, bringing complimentary stone fruit notes to this full-bodied beer. Using almost a half a ton of peaches in this batch, there is no question the dominant flavor in this beer, however not overpowering making way for a super refreshing IPA. 7.4% ABV
