Baron de Ley Gran Reserva
$43.99
93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate! The review: "The 2004 Gran Reserva is a mouth-filling, opulent effort from the great 2004 vintage that straddles the line between traditional and modern-style Rioja. It offers up a soaring perfume of wood smoke, pencil lead, exotic spices, lavender, and blackberry that leads to a dense, impeccably balanced, lengthy effort that has the structure to evolve for 5-7 years."
Muga Rioja Reserva
$36.99
The red 2012 Reserva is always a blend of Tempranillo with some 20% Garnacha, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo from the lower part of the valley of the Oja-Tirón river. 2012 saw good ripeness, and the wine shows it, but doesn't show any excess. The vinification is as classic as it gets: the grapes ferment with natural yeasts with a 'pied de cuve' and the wine matured in new barriques the first year; it was then transferred to well-seasoned barrels for a further year of upbringing. It still feels quite oaky with some smoky aromas and some notes of roasted sesame seeds. The palate is lush and round, with polished tannins. This is a textbook Rioja at a very good price for the quality it delivers. This wine should be readily available, as it's produced in good quantities, close to one million bottles, which for this quality is impressive. 91+ Robert Parker
Rekorderlig Wild Berries
$4.99
The Rekorderlig Wild Berries is a Swedish pear cider with added wild berries. Pear and raspberry are prominent on the palate, with other berry fruit also evident. The pear base carries the other fruit flavours very nicely, with just enough fruit to balance a citrus edge. Fruity, and fairly sweet.

Ollieux Rose
$28.99
Château Ollieux Romanis is a 60-hectare (148-acre) domaine in the Boutenac area of the Corbières that has belonged to the Bories family since 1978 (although its history as a wine estate dates back to the 18th century). Pierre Bories, who up until then had worked in finance, came ‘home’ in 2001 because his parents had been badly let down by an exporter and, through no fault of their own, the property was in real financial difficulty. He took the estate over, ‘with no clients and a lot of debt’, and over the last two decades has radically transformed it.
Chartreuse Green

Producer Description
"Created in 1840, the "Liqueur de Santé" is the first liqueur made from the original recipe of the Elixir Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse. It was so popular that Father Garnier, attorney and responsible for the liqueurs at the time, later decided to officially name it 'Chartreuse Verte', and registered the “Chartreuse” mark in 1852. It is still produced and manufactured today by the Chartreux Fathers in their Aiguenoire distillery in Entre-Deux-Guiers (Isère - France)."
