Staff Pick Notes

There are some days that I get home from work and all I want to do is dig into a nice Rotisserie chicken and wash it down with a deliciously rounded, scrumptiously balanced white wine.

This is one of my go-to week nights, and as long as we keep it in stock, I'm keeping my chiller full.
