Sipping Mezcal with a great cigar?
Napa Cellars
Reserve Pinot Noir
This Pinot shows aromas of black cherry, plum and earthy notes with a smoky oak character and baking spices with decadent flavors of strawberry, cherry, cola and notes of clove and black pepper. We think this Pinot will make all your Holiday celebrations even better!

Ardbeg An Oa
Islay Single Malt
Scotch
Islay whiskies from several cask regiments - including; sweet Pedro Ximenez; spicy virgin charred oak; and intense ex-bourbon casks. The result is a dram with smoky power, mellowed by a delectable, smooth sweetness. Hallmark Ardbeg peat, dark chocolate and aniseed are wrapped in smooth, silky butterscotch, black pepper and clove. Slàinte!

Mezcal!
The slow process of cooking agave piñas in a two-meter deep earthen pit, lined with rock and wood is distinct to Mezcal. This days-long roasting saturates the sweet fibers of the piñas with the smoky signature Mezcal is known for. So, forget the "worm", we're talking about the good stuff!
