Chateau du Coudray-Montpensier, Chinon $ 19.99

and it is perfect to accompany red meat, local dishes and stews.
 
Four Vines Biker Zinfandel, Paso Robles $19.99
Black cherry and spicy aromas lead to an elegant palate of wild blackberry and plum flavors bolstered by a touch of black pepper and sweet, toasted oak.
The 2017 offers a plush mouthfeel and a long, velvety finish
 
D66 "Others" Grenache, Cotes Catalanes $29.99

Ruby red in coloring with a distinguished brick rim, this wine offers alluring notes of marion berries, blue fruits, compote, garriuge, and a touch of dried lavender. 
Rich, concentrated dark fruits are immediately noticeable upon entry which transition effortlessly to a piquant mid palate of plum tart, dried spices, and mountain herbs.

Commonwealth "Cosmos" Double IPA, 4 pack $19.99

8.3% ABV
For a double IPA, the nose is not overly intense with floral hops as expected, surprising toasty aroma with subtle hints of apricot and alcohol.
Strong start as expected that slowly fades with a sustained aromatic finish.
The experience is very smooth for such a high ABV IPA brew, very drinkable.

The first of our seasonal brews. 
Abita Bock is brewed with pale, pilsner and caramel malts and German Perle hops.
Our bock is similar to German maibocks with its rich malt flavor and full body.
A perfect choice during Carnival season in New Orleans.
