Pietradolce Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese
$41.99
A simply outstanding red wine from the slopes of Sicily's famous Mt. Etna. Look for berry notes and herbs on the palate, and hints of flowers on the nose. Here's what Robert Parker's Wine Advocate has to say about this winery: "Pietradolce is my new Etna darling. This estate has always been on my radar, but the wines have never tasted as good as they do now. Michele Faro and his team (winemaker Carlo Ferrini is a consultant) have made impressive leaps and bounds in quality - from the stunning historic vineyards they own to the immaculately designed gravity winery that is coated with slabs of volcanic stone. Construction was almost done when I visited the estate this spring. Located in Solicchiata on the northern side of the volcano, Pietradolce boasts some of the most beautiful vineyards I have ever seen. I cannot exaggerate this point."

Erdinger Oktoberfest Pack
$23.89
Ninkasi Oktoberfest
$8.49
Toasty malt with grassy, earthy hops. Ninkasi makes their Marzen with a slightly more robust hop profile and a tad more alcohol than the classic Oktoberfest beers, but it still fits as the perfect beer for the changing season.
Blindman Longshadows IPA 4pk
$19.99
A very malt-heavy base with moderate sweetness makes a great stage for a whole bunch of big hefty, fruity and dank hop aromas. Massive hop notes give way to a moderate and balanced bitterness. A fantastic Alberta IPA!
El Dorado 25 Year
$429.99
The El Dorado 25 Year is one of the most sought after rums in the world. We haven't seen it for several years and are only getting 6 bottles. The rum comes from Demerara Distillers in Guyana, it is a limited release that is only produced from excellent single vintages.
Tasting Note From A Previous Bottling:
"A very limited edition for the connoisseur who appreciates the best in the world of spirits…. Created to mark the turn of the millennium, 25 Year Old Vintage Reserve is presented in an appropriately distinctive decanter to treasure or to give with pleasure," according to the team at Demerara Distillers in Guyana, where this beauty is made. "This exquisite vintage rum possesses a silky smoothness which challenges the oldest cognac. The constant ambient warmth and tropical conditions of Demerara dramatically hasten the maturation process – producing a spirit that is the equivalent of one aged for many more years in a cooler climate. Tasting Notes: An extremely rare creature, this rum is rich, smooth and mellow with soft syrupy mouth-feel and subtle notes of caramel and heavy fruit cake. An after-dinner treat for sipping slowly and sparingly."

Serve with slow-roasted lamb, pizza or anything big and meaty.
