New & Notable – Casa Noble Tequila’s
The following reviews are from Drinkhacker Casa Noble Crystal (Blanco) – Pungent on the nose, with deep, deep agave notes, white pepper, and cayenne. The body isn’t nearly the agave bomb you might be expecting. It is both sweet and peppery, but not really vegetal at all. Instead you’ll find notes of tart lemon juice,… Read More
Elegant, affordable Pinot Noir
Hi friends I was hanging around the Marlboro store when a salesman popped in to taste Joe on some new wines. When Joe likes something he get’s a little excited and generally brings me in a glass to try and he was palpably excited this morning. I was in the office, and he rushed in,… Read More

On a warm summer day out on the deck, nothing is more refreshing…. Read More
Casa Cuba By Arturo Fuente
In 2013, there were rumors of a new cigar blended by Carlos Fuente Sr. that never materialize into much of anything. We got in a couple boxes of one size and that was it. I was bummed because these cigars were great! Medium bodied, full flavored, and a finish that lasted for hours. Little was… Read More

Everyone knows that nobody drinks Merlot anymore.
Roger and I tried this wine a month ago and were, once again, completely floored by the price/value relationship available in wines from the Maule Valley in Chile. The Maule River runs directly through the valley. It is amazingly like Bordeaux, where the Gironde cuts through the region. Wines from the north (let’s say Right… Read More
