I thought we'd start off today with a little wine, specifically Chimney Rock Elevage, a Merlot Blend from Napa. It has lucious black fruit with cocoa and
vanilla on the palate. It is supple and focused with a long silky Stags Leap District finish.

Now, onto a little food. Many people like to dip their bacon and/or sausage into a little maple syrup from time to time, but have you thought about combining those flavors outside of breakfast? We have with Maple braised pork shank with shell beans, braised greens and fall vegetables. Did you know that other than Quebec, Canada, the leading producer of maple syrup, the United States is the only other major producer and the leading consumer.


Finally, some Agaves. We offer a variety of tequilas: Sauza Gold, Sauza Hornitos, El Tesoro Platinum, Patron Silver, Gran Centenario and Del Meguey Chichicapa single villiage (Mescal). While they all have their own unique attributes, the Del Meguey is extra special. It is made by slow-roasting agave hearts in the ground and then mashing them and letting them naturally ferment. This gives the mezcal a slightly smokey flavor. Technically while all tequilas are mezcal, mezcals are not tequilas.
