Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
The color is very dark and extracted, almost black with a purple core full of intensity. The nose has a beautiful perfume of black and blue fruits. The entry is plush, with plenty of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, but the secondary flavors are strong as well. The mocha, vanilla and baking spice aspects are complimented with tobacco, spice and cigar box in good balance. Additionally, the underlying mineral and coffee notes with a touch of graphite adds to this dynamic wines complexity. On the palate, the wine is user friendly with early drinking ability, but the tannins provide excellent structure. Rather expansive in the massive mid-palate, this is a dense and chewy Cab. The finish has just the right amount of well-integrated, fine grained tannins that allows for early drinking and will pair well with protein now, but the massive nature of this baby will reward you for many more years.

New Holland Knickerbocker Gin
Knickerbocker Gin is a vibrant, aromatic spirit twice distilled and infused with flavors from more than a dozen herbs and spices. Generous amounts of juniper-berries contribute a bright citrus and evergreen body, bursting with flavor before a clean, dry finish. Named for the Dutch explorers of a new world, Knickerbocker celebrates modern exploration in the historic realm of distilling.
New Holland Dragons Milk
Dragon’s Milk is a 17th century term used to describe the strong beer usually reserved for royalty. This strong ale was aged in oak for over 120 days. The aging process extracts flavors from the wood, which contribute to its complex character. Hints of bourbon flavor perfectly compliment its roasted malts to produce a beer fit for a King.
Charles Smith "Kung Fu Girl Riesling"
The grapes used in Charles Smith's "Kung Fu Girl" Riesling are harvested from a single rocky vineyard, resulting in a wine with lush aromatics and tons of flavor. On the nose, Kung Fu Girl is bursting with Asian pear, white peach and spring flowers. Apricot, pear, lime, and a pleasant minerality keep this off-dry wine at the perfect level of subtle sweetness. This is a great wine for a summer picnic.
