Tanqueray No.Ten
$55.99
Tanqueray Gin was initially distilled in 1830 by Charles Tanqueray in the Bloomsbury district of London. When Charles died in 1868 his son Charles Waugh Tanqueray inherited the distillery, which operated until it was severely damaged in World War II.

Aha Toro Blanco
$48.99
"Tequila Aha Toro has been handmade for over a century at the hacienda “El Olvido” in the tiny village of Jesùs Maria in the province of Jalisco. The hacienda is the centre of the distillery and has a wealth of history. Located in the highlands, at 2100 meters above sea level, the area benefits from the ideal growing conditions. Each bottle is a unique piece of hand blown glass also handcrafted by Mexican artisans," according to importer Lanigan-Edwards. "Blanco is in its most pure and simple state, true to its 100% agave essence. It is a powerful un-aged Tequila that shows how traditionally made Tequila from the mountains of Jalisco should taste. This lively and crisp tequila is the best choice for ultra premium cocktails. Aha Toro Blanco may also be enjoyed straight up in a snifter, chilled first in the refrigerator or the freezer, then sipped. Red apples are dominant with a hint of minerals and honey. Soft and fruity opening, followed by minerals and honey, with a sweet fruit and peppery finish."
Marcarini Barbera D'Alba Ciabot
$31.99
Barbera is the Piedmont's most widespread variety, and one where results vary greatly. Given Marcarini's extremely low crop yields per hectare, excellent exposures (south/southwest), and élevage in French barriques, their superb version is a truly great wine, with remarkable balance between tannins and acidity. This exceptional Barbera is a particularly fine match for meat-based second courses.
