I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sumptuously entertains' is the definition.
'regales' can be an answer for 'entertains' (as in to entertain or regale someone with a story). I am not certain of the 'sumptuously' bit.

'a chap with drinks' is the wordplay.
'a chap' becomes 'reg' ().
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'drinks' becomes 'ales' (ale is a kind of drink).
'reg'+'ales'='REGALES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for regales that I've seen is " Treats".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
