Michel Rey Pouilly-Fuisse En Buland
$52.99
Eve and Michel Rey produce natural, honest white Burgundy in miniscule quantities from the finest terroir in the Mâconnais. Their “La Roche” vineyards—Mâcon-Vergisson and Pouilly-Fuissé—are not only the highest vineyards in their respective appellations but, we believe, also deliver the purest expressions of Chardonnay in the region, bar none.
The Reys moved to Vergisson in 1988, as Michael was hired as a vineyard manager for a regional winemaker. Bit by bit, the couple saved their money and purchased small yet select parcels whenever they could. From the soil to the cellar, Michel and Eve do everything by hand, and it’s just the two of them—such diligence and dedication is what makes their bottles so special. They don’t have tons of vineyards; they don’t overextend. Through hard work and savvy winemaking, this duo is mentioned now in the same breath with Vergisson’s leading artisans, such as Daniel Barraud (who we also have some wine coming from) and Jean-Marie Guffens.
Their modest winery offers a breathtaking view of the Vergisson valley, and the wines faithfully mirror the majesty just outside their cellar door. While the word “artisan” is so often bandied about in wine, it is winemakers like the Reys who are true artisans, crafting with four hands works of vinous art, each and every vintage.
El Enemigo Bonarda
$37.99
El Enemigo is a winery co-owned by Adrianna Catena and Alejandro Vigil, both of Catena Zapata fame. The winemaker calls 2018 "El Año Mendocino", the Mendoza Year. After a small cool vintage in 2017, which we call “El Año Bordelés” (the Bordeaux Year) and a small, very cool and rainy year in 2016 “El Año Bourguignon” (the Burgundian year), they finally got a vintage that is classically Mendozan: dry, cool, sunny and with moderate yields in every region from the lowest to the highest altitudes.
Woodford Reserve Straight Malt
$62.99
This Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey from Woodford Reserve is a different beast - not quite a Bourbon but also not a Single Malt Whiskey. Bearing the moniker Straight Malt Whiskey means that it has to use a minimum of 51% Malt, and it does exactly that with a mash bill also containing 47% Corn and 2% Rye. Like Bourbon, it is matured in Virgin American Oak Barrels that are heavily charred. Bottled at 45.2%.
Raasay Gin
$72.99
This dry gin comes from the Scottish Hebridean Isle of Raasay Distillery, on the island of the same name. It is bottled at 46%.
Like many newer distilleries, Raasay’s first product out of the gates was a gin. This gin is created using 10 botanicals including juniper grown on Raasay itself, orange peel, lemon peel, rhubarb root, angelica root, coriander seed, liquorice root, orris root, and cubeb pepper. Some of these gingredients are steeped directly in the spirit still and the rest are infused using a copper gin basket.
Producer Description
"Our handcrafted Scottish island gin combines ten carefully chosen botanicals, including Raasay juniper, sweet orange peel, lemon peel, and our triple distilled spirit. Bottled at 46% using water from our well, this is the first legal spirit from an island rooted in centuries of illicit distilling. Every drop is lovingly distilled, bottled and shipped direct from the Isle of Raasay."

Milk & Honey Elements Sherry Cask
$119.99
This bottle was featured on Day 18 of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar
Also available in 50ml / Mini bottles
Part of the Milk & Honey Elements range, this single malt was matured in Kosher Oloroso & PX Sherry Casks. 46%
From The Producer
“To create this whisky, we travelled all the way to Jerez, Spain to oversee Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry made especially for us. The casks, once filled with quality sherry and seasoned for one year in Jerez, were brought to the distillery to mature our New-Make spirit for a wonderful complex whisky.
The M&H Elements Sherry is the first and only single malt whisky in the world, aged in kosher Sherry casks. This single malt reveals robust flavors of red fruit, dark chocolate, and oaky notes.”
Milk & Honey Elements Peated Cask SM
$104.99
Part of the Milk & Honey Distillery's Elements Range, this single malt was matured in ex-Bourbon before finishing in ex-Islay whisky casks.
Producer Description: "The Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. This whisky was matured in casks from Islay, that soaked in smoky aromas and salty flavors, and was then blended with ex-bourbon barrel-aged single malt. The Elements Peated integrates the fruity notes of the new make into the casks' typical Islay peaty notes; the result is a delicate, rather mellow, and lightly peated whisky."
Mascorrubi Teulera Ancestra
$29.99
This organic sparkling wine from Mascorrubi is made using the local Montonaga grape.
The Montonaga grape is a sub-varietel of Pareladda. Montonega vines produce loose bunches of small, pink grapes with thicker skins than Pareladda typically show and make aromatic and fresh white wine.
