- Domaine Thomas Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc (2021)$28.00+
The Thomas family has been growing grapes and making wine in Sancerre since 1670. Today, Julien represents the 13th generation to run the Domaine, farming 16 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir based out of the hamlet of Verdigny. He converted the estate to organic and biodynamic practices in 2012, using only indigenous yeast to ferment happy grapes that produce a wine of great pleasure. What makes this Sauvignon Blanc from Domaine Thomas stand out is the lush fruit character and texture achieved in the vineyards. Full and developed fruit flavors of citrus, grapefruit, crisp green apple, and wildflowers resonant from the glass. With great texture, a classic minerality lingers through the finish with crushed rock and refined herbal notes of balanced pyrazines (pyrazines express green, grassy notes).

Beer and Cider
- Lucky Buddha Beer$7.00
- Manhattan Project Half Life$6.00
HAZY IPA 6.2% ABV | 33 IBU Half-Life is always a crowd favorite for both craft beer aficionados and those new to the beer scene. It is an unfiltered Northeast inspired IPA with an aroma that is interesting without being overpowering. Upon first sip, you will immediately pick up on the citrus characteristics. Soon to follow will be stone fruit and pine. But this is not a bitter IPA, friends. It is perfectly balanced with a focus on the delicious aroma. Half-Life finishes with a subtle and wheaty breadiness. It’s so perfectly light and crisp that it would be an amazing session beer if it weren’t for the 6% ABV, so sip and enjoy.
