Morette Bardolino Classico
$29.99
Located just south of Lake Garda, in Peschiera del Garda, Veneto. Le Morette winery produces top-quality Lugana DOC white wines and reds in the Bardolino Classico DOC. Bardolino is similar to Valpolicella, with the same permitted grapes; it has a different terroir and is typically a bit lighter. The winery has about 40 hectares of sustainably farmed vines and has a “Friends of Biodiversity” certificate. It's a blend of 65% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 5% Molinara, hand-harvested at the end of September. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26°C, with an 8-day maceration with skin contact. Aged for a further two months in bottle before release.
Siegel Cabernet Reserva
$22.99
Alberto Siegel and his father founded Viña Siegel (now Siegel Family Wines) in 1980. They started planting vineyards in Colchagua and building the winery in Santa Cruz. When Don Germán died in 1998, Alberto became the owner, together with his family. Initially, Viña Siegel only sold bulk wines to the biggest Chilean wineries, like Concha y Toro, San Pedro and Santa Rita. In 1997, Alberto decided to enter the bottled wine business and made the necessary investments to go ahead with this project.
Siegel Ketran
$91.99
Alberto Siegel and his father founded Viña Siegel in 1980. They started planting vineyards in Colchagua, eventually building a winery in Santa Cruz after years of selling bulk wine to large producers. The Colchagua Valley is located in the Central Zone of Chile. It's a 'transverse valley", which means that it is a valley formed by a river, in this case, the Tinguiririca, running east-to-west towards the ocean. The valley cuts out at a ridge or mountain at right angles. The Colchagua Valley is the leading fine-wine-producing region in Chile. In the Mapuche language, Ketran means “land ploughed by the fire resulting from volcanic activity.” This wine is born out of the inspiration of the volcanic soils that give birth to the vineyards in Los Lingues at the foot of the Cordillera de Los Andes, high Colchagua. It offers black fruit, mocha, toast, and spice with firm, chewy tannins. The wine will continue to improve with time in the cellar. It's a blend of 35% Syrah, 30% Petit Verdot, 25% Carmenere, and 10% Cabernet Franc grown on colluvial soil, clay, and a decomposition of volcanic rock. It's hand-picked, and aged in French oak barrels and left to age for 30 months and then another 12 months in bottle before release.
Glen Grant 18 Year
$211.99
The Glen Grant 18-Year-Old is aged in (surprise!) oak casks. Given the producer tasting notes below it likely has some sherry cask influence in the mix. Bottled at 43%.
Kahlua
$36.99
Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
Mattei Quinquina Vermouth Blanc
$49.99
Herby aromas with floral honeysuckle and elderflower. Quinine bitterness grows gradually on the palate, rich grape juice offsets complex herbs along with zesty lemon, white pepper, and lemongrass.
Bittersweet Corsican aperitif based on mistelle of Muscat and Vermentinu grapes and flavored with various plants, fruits, and spices, including macerations of cinchona bark and local citron fruit. Sweetness comes from natural grape sugars - musts are blended with neutral spirit to prematurely halt fermentation. Enjoy chilled or with a splash of tonic.
Basil Hayden 10 Year Bourbon
$94.99
You don't see Bourbons with an age statement at or above 10 years very often, and the price on this one is pretty decent. This is a very spicy high-rye Bourbon, and limited in availability.
Producer Description
"Basil Hayden’s 10 Year Old Bourbon features the same high-rye bourbon recipe that Basil Hayden’s fans know and love, but the whiskey is aged in barrels longer to create another layer of complexity and deeper flavor. The result of the extra aging is a distinct whiskey with big oak aromas along with hints of char and vanilla. Basil Hayden’s trademark spice shines through as the perfect complement to the caramel sweetness and wood flavors, making the whiskey a memorable one for fans and newcomers alike."
