Usseglio CNDP Magnum
$182.99
From Stephane Usseglio: Domaine Raymond Usseglio finds its roots in the initiative of my father, Raymond Usseglio, who founded it in 1963. My family's wine history dates back to 1931, when my grandfather, Francis, left his native region, from Piedmont, to settle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
After more than fifteen years of working in the fields, in 1948, he operated a sharecropping farm with his vines and produced his first wine in 1949. The year 1962 marked a significant turning point, with the planting of the first vines in my grandfather's name on the Terres Blanches terroir, now one of the most emblematic of the Domaine. Near these plots, in 1963, my father, accompanied by my mother Danielle, took up the torch from his father and founded the Domaine Raymond Usseglio.
Burdock Blue Oblong Ale
$27.59
From Burdock
"Like our Grape Ales, we rested feeder-aged table beer on Haskap berries and waited until it reached peak tastiness. This blobby berry beer is rich in wild bluebby character."

Burdock Bouvier D'brusco
$30.29
From Burdock
"Barrel aged beer rested on Cab Fran Rose skins from Pearl Morissette. Big juicy flavours and natural charisma (effervescence), make it easy to mistake this big dog as part of the lambrusco breed.
Expect big bubbly action, we suggest chilling Bouv and opening with a glass near by!"
