Producer Description
"Roper’s Hold is a celebration of artistry in spirits. Similar to painting, the aging and blending of these collected whiskies is what makes each of them desirable as a unique expression of the spirit and cask. Each blend’s ephemeral existence further amplifies its appeal. No matter who you are, you must get it while you can. For every label in this brand, nothing will ever be like it again. Compelling. Distinct. Creative. Complex."

Athletes Du Vin Chenin
$36.99
Les Athlètes du Vin is a négociant project focused on value-driven wines from the Loire Valley. The idea was conceived by a group of French winemakers called Vini Be Good, who work together to distribute their wines across France. The wines are vinified by various members of the Vini Be Good network using their own grapes or grapes purchased from friends and neighbors in the Loire. The common core philosophy is that wine character first begins on the vine and that the soil is worked in such a way that grapes can draw their quintessential qualities. We are proud to present these wines made by their friends and family, as several of the cuvées are vinified by Gérard Vallée, brother of Mathieu Vallée from Château Yvonne." - Garneau Block
L'Orme de Rauzan Gassies

This story began in 1936, when Paul Quie offered Chateau Bel_Orme as a wedding gift to his wife, Lucienne, and continued a few years later, when they purchased together Chateau Rauzan-Gassies. Since then, the Orme residence has been the new generation's family home, revisiting with l'Orme de Rauzan-Gassies, the finesse of a great wine, charming and fruity.
