CHATEAU L'OMBRIERE Bordeaux Superieur
Blend 40% Merlot 60% Cabernet Sauvignon

"Deep intense color.  Ripe black fruit aromas and black cherry.  Soft tanins and long finish.  Accompany with your favorite juicy burger or BBQ with good friends...invite me if you can...TM"

SEAN MINOR Four Bears
2010 Cabernet Sauvignon - Paso Robles

"Named after our four children, Four Bears was founded to celebrate the things we prie most; delicious approachable wines, expressive terroir-driven flavors and family!"

JOSH CELLARS "Josh"
Merlot

"Growers, that I call friends, all lend a hand in this, "winemakers wine", what we jokingly refer to as a "vin de garage"; a handcrafted win we made just for oursleves.  This Merlot, created in a Bordeaux style blend, offers rich plum and black cherry flavors, accented by savory spices and toasted oak.  with a soft, supple texture and lingering finish.  A wine that is bold and expressive but unassuming, and approachable."

CAMBRIA ESTATE WINERY
2012 Chardonnay

"Don't let this Chardonnay fool you.  It's delicate, enticing aroma of citrus blossom and subtle vanilla may seem shy at first, but once you take your first sip, the vibrancy of its mutli0faceted personality shines through as zesty citrus, luscious white peach, and juicy pineapple that fill your palate with mouth-watering layers of fruit."

Classic Car Show & La Sirena Cigars with Arielle

La Sirena Cigars with Arielle
by Miami Cigar & Co.

Thursday, October 17th 6-9PM

     La Sirena is the lastest release from Miami Cigar & Company, the folks behind standout brands like Nestor Miranda, La Aurora, and more. Handcrafted in Nicaragua by Pepin Garcia, La Sirena features a dark, toothy Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, two Cuban-seed Nicaraguan binders, and Nicaraguan Criollo '98 and Corojo '96 long-fillers. The result is a rich, full-bodied smoke that's layered with complexity. Notes of coffee, oak, pepper, and cocoa coat the palate before a slightly sweet finish. A full-flavored, top-shelf handmade that's extremely well put together.

Meet La Sirena Founder and Brand Manager Arielle Ditkowich

SERIE R Esteli Event this Thursday, Oct. 3rd

SERIE R Esteli
by La Gloria Cubana

This Week...
Thursday, October 3rd 5-9PM

     La Gloria Cubana Serie R started the large ring, full flavor craze back in 1999.  The trend-setting brand is charting a new course with the release of SERIE R Esteli, named for its Nicaraguan roots. 

A brick and mortar exclusive, Serie R Esteli is a collection of large ring, full-flavored Nicaraguan puros, made from tobacco sourced from a string of unconnected, independent farms on the Jalapa mountainside.  In a departure from its Dominican roots, Serie R Esteli is handcrafted in Nicaragua and showcases Nicaraguan tobacco in an optimally aged, palate-pleasing splendor. 

However, probably the most exciting differences of the Serie R Esteli from its Dominican counterpart are the price-points.  Suggested Retail per stick is $7.50-$8.50, almost 30% lower than the original Serie R. 

There Will be Deals and Prizes.
- BUY 3 GET 1
- BUY a BOX (18ct) and Recieve a Free Leather Travel Humidor.

FAQ - YES!  The Bar will be Open
