The Beers!!
CABOOSE VIENNA LAGER (VIENNA VA), 4 pack 16 oz. $16.99 NEW
2017 Virginia Craft Brewer’s Cup Gold Medal Winner!
Vienna lagers are a traditional style of beer dating back to the 1800s, originating in Vienna, Austria. Easy drinking and fun to pair, our lager is brewed from four German and British malts that add a bread flavor and subtle caramel notes. Tettnang and Warrior hops are added during the boil process which brings out the mild bitterness of the hops and creates a clean crisp finish.
The sweetness from the malt offsets and balances the bitterness of the hops.
Vienna, VA Lager is a year round beer. Good with Winter and Fall roasts or your Summer and Spring grill, we like to pair it with a few of our signature dishes such as pork belly, a good burger, and our macaroni and cheese.
VASEN NORSE Double IPA, 4 pack 16 oz. $18.99
ABV: 8.0%
This double-dry-hopped DIPA was conditioned on Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo hops to produce a complex, well-rounded hop character with hints of grapefruit, tangerine, and pine. Traditional Norwegian kveik yeast from a farm in northern Norway contribute complex aromas of orange peel, peach, and white pepper,
which combine with rich brown sugar and honey to balance this moderately bitter farmhouse-style ale.
The Wines!!
SUBSTANCE SAUVIGNON BLANC, CHARLES SMITH $15.99
92 Points, James Suckling!
A pretty white with sliced white peach, apple, lemon and a hint of lychee.
It’s medium-to full-bodied with a compact palate and a lightly chewy finish.
But always tight and focused. Drink now.
SUBSTANCE CHARDONNAY, CHARLES SMITH 2021 $15.99
93 Points, James Suckling!
This is attractive with sliced pears and glazed lemons with salted caramel, raw almonds and cream. Medium- to full-bodied, so lively and textural at the same time. It is clean and pure with crunchy stone fruit and chamomile aromas on offer, with a flavorful, creamy finish.
100% barrel fermented with native yeast. Drink or hold.
GOLDEN WEST THE PROMISE PINOT NOIR 2019 $22.99
93 Points - James Suckling:
"Very attractive aromas of sweet and sour fruit with cherries, strawberries and some orange peel. It’s medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins and a delicious chocolate and coffee undertone to the fruit at the end. 40% whole cluster. Handmade pinot."
Winemaker notes: Complex layers of aroma and flavor. Black raspberry, forest floor, Allspice and velvet theater drapes from the nose. Wild mushroom, limestone, suede and earth engulfs the palate that is
full, elegant and precise as a rare Swiss timepiece.
CASASMITH CERVO BARBERA WAHLUKE SLOPE WA $17.99
93 Points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Winemaker Charles Smith
“Dense and impressive. The aroma builds with black rose, red cherry, and mushroom notes.
Lavender, beach sand, and lava rock flavors. An all-encompassing wine that brings out the word WOW!”
K VINTNERS MCK MOTOR CITY KITTY SYRAH $39.99
98 Points, James Suckling!
Layered aromas of plums, black cherries, leather, bark and iron. Full-bodied with a lot of nuance. Firm, gripping tannins. Dried roses and crushed blackberries mix with dark, mineral complexity, leaving a buzz on the palate.
A clear note of cocoa powder comes through. Concentrated and dynamic.
Superb. Best after 2024.
