Dageraad Blonde Can
$5.49
A Belgian style Blonde Ale from the fine folks at Dageraad Brewing. 7.5% ABV.
Dageraad Amber Can
$5.19
A flavourful, balanced Belgian-pale ale with an enticing aroma and a crisp finish.
Invented for the Liége exposition of 1905 to compete with British imports, the Spéciale Belge or Belgian pale ale style marries the complexity of Belgium’s beers to the drinkability of Britain’s pale ales. Dageraad Amber’s light malty sweetness and rich bouquet of malt and stone fruit are balanced by a hoppy aroma and a crisp finish. This beer was inspired by the experience of enjoying a fresh bolleke − Antwerp locals’ affectionate nickname for a glass of De Koninck − in the Dageraadplatz, just a stone’s throw from the De Koninck Brewery.

Purple Hands Freedom Hill Pinot Noir
$106.99
Founded in 2005, Purple Hands works passionately to offer an experience of humble luxury—drawn from the details of a deep geologic story, expressed through authentically Oregon Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Native to Oregon vineyards and farmland, owners Cody (son of Oregon Pinot Noir pioneer Ken Wright) and Marque Wright are most intrigued by wines that reveal the history of their native landscape. The name Purple Hands is meant to depict this work: the work of harvest when your hands are purple and black and rugged from long days and nights of pushing yourself to create and sustain quality.

Sylvain Martel Julienas 3L
$324.99
Sylvain Martel completed his winemaking training in the Southern Rhone and spent ten years running a small organic estate in the Ardeche. He relocated to Beaujolais, after the Graillot family of Crozes-Hermitage brought him on board to help establish and manage Domaine de Fa. As fate would have it, Sylvain met Anne-Sophie Dubois (we carry her wines as well) in 2016 and settled down in Fleurie. By 2018 he was ready to start his own project and purchased a 1.3ha plot of 45 year old Gamay vines on a dramatic steep slope at 450m altitude in the lieu-dit of Bessay in the western part of Julienas. A terroir of blue stones, the tree-lined vineyard is planted to a high density, cultivation is organic and the yields are kept low (25hl/ha).
Pietradolce Santo Spirito Etna Rosso
$78.99
Santo Spirito Etna Rosso is a wine obtained from Nerello Mascalese grapes from a pre-phylloxera vineyard that was brought to light and restored during land reclamation work. This vineyard is located in the highest part of the Contrada Santo Spirito at 900 meters above sea level. It is a very windy promontory with marked temperature variations and sandy soils, with abundant volcanic rock.
The harvest takes place in the second half of October. The crushing and destemming is followed by a maceration of approximately 18 days in raw cement tulip tanks. The 14-month aging in oak barrels is followed by maturation in the bottle. The result is a wine with an ample bouquet, which alternates spicy notes with red berries. The taste is vibrant, with distinctive elegance and personality, like drinking a bottle of great Burgundy.
Radio Coteau Savoy Chardonnay
$124.99
In 2002, Eric Sussman established Radio-Coteau, focusing on the north coast vineyards of western Sonoma County and Anderson Valley. With their benchland locations, well-drained soils, exposure to capricious marine air and fog, these sites host grapes naturally suited to their surrounding elements. This natural selection afforded Eric an opportunity to refine his Old World experiences while working with New World grapes. For nearly two decades, he and his winegrowing team have strived to balance nature’s expression with a delicate, but disciplined human touch in these handcrafted wines. The winery has been Demeter Certified Biodynamic® since 2008, a reflection of their commitment to crafting wines of origin utilizing low-intervention winemaking practices.

Paul John Mithuna Single Malt 58%
$259.99
For all of you Gemini's out there! Or, for all of us whisky lovers. No need to discriminate. The unpeated Mithuna release from Paul John is bottled at 58% ABV, and is part of the distillery's Zodiac series. Mithuna is the Indian counterpart to the Gemini zodiac sign.
Producer Description
"Unpeated. Non chill-filtered. Matured in American virgin oak casks and finished in ex-bourbon casks.
Hues of old oak and sophisticated aromas of liquorice with gentle beeswax lead to a luxuriant delivery of ulmo honey on crisp toast, and tender notes of vanilla. Chewy flavours of coffee mocha, orange peel and delicate spice float on active tannins while gentle oils enjoy gists of dark cocoa tones. The finish is gratifyingly long and complex with multi-toned sugars and delicate honeys.
Renowned for contradictive strengths, the characteristics of Gemini are epitomized by this Indian single malt as mesmerizing layers of austere, dry tannins are challenged in equal measure by resplendent sugars and mocha on delicate oils."
