Wine of the Month

Ray Station Merlot

When we first tasted this it was a bit green around the edges but some time in the bottle has really turned this wine around. There is plenty of fruit and smoke on the nose with hints of earth, wild berries, crushed fruits and toasty oak. The palate follows the nose with a nice mouthfeel, full body, loads of dried fruits, berries, preserves and jammy fruit and oak on the finish. Smooth and round with some nice subtle complexities drifting past the finish.

Banfi is well known for its reds but this tuscan Pinot Grigio is a great bottle of wine. Rich and textured you actually feel like you have something in the glass which is nice. There is melon and canteloupe on the nose along with hints of wax pear and apple. The palate is clean and zippy with some nice fruit and acid balance. The finish is crisp and refreshing leaving the palate clean and ready for more.

Bourbon of the Month

Buffalo Trace Distiller

Eagle Rare Single Barrel

We chose this barrel for its fantastic quality and flavors. This was barreled in 1993 so technichaly it is 13 years old but they usually bottle at 10 years so don't change the bottle tags. The nose is really aromatic and floral, with earthy spice, wood chard, burnt caramel and creamed peach. The palate is viscous and creamy with woody toast, caramel, butterscotch, warm winter spice, sap and super smooth. The finish slips down warm and refined with no noticable burn though after all the years in the wood one would expect that. The barrel was only a third full meaning much of the impurites had evaported along with the angels share. Look out soon for another barrel from Buffalo Trace.
