Orval 330 ml Bottles
$9.39
Orval Trappist brewery makes only one beer for the general public. It has an intensely aromatic and dry character. Between the first and second fermentations there is also an additional dry-hopping process. Through this process, the beer acquires its pronounced hoppy aroma and extra dry taste. Orval is one of the six Belgian Trappist breweries, a list that includes Westmalle, Westvleteren, Chimay, Rochefort, Orval and Achel. No other breweries are entitled by law to apply that name to their product.. The Notre-Dame d'Orval has a long history of distruction and reconstruction. The single beer they produce is probably the driest of the Trappist ales. They began brewing prior to the French Revolution, but that conflict was among the distructive events of the monestery's history.

Hansel Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

While the Estate Pinot Noir from Walter Hansel utilizes barrels of Pinot from a variety of Hansel-owned vineyards, the heart and soul (and a majority of the Pinot) is usually harvested by hand from the legendary Meadows vineyard.

Tedeshi Amarone 2021
$79.99
Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition produced exclusively from grapes grown on hillsides.

Grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September, beginning of October, and are placed on plastic trays for drying. This process lasts until January and renders the once plump juicy grape to a raisin. The result is a wine of great flavour and style. This is a great wine at a great price; it has notes of vanilla and ethereal aromas of sweet currants, blueberries and cherries. Enjoy with braised red meats and cheese and a hearty peasant-style loaf of bread. A Kensington Wine Market exclusive!
Bussola Ca`Del Laito Ripasso
$71.99
Another great creation from Tommaso Bussola. This wine is composed of 40% Corvinone (ancient Corvina clone), 40% Rondinella, 15% Molinara and small quantities of other indigenous varietals and is aged for 17 months in oak. Pairings include a meaty lasagna or parmigiano as suggestions.
This is a "ripasso" style Valpolicella that uses the "lees" of Bussola's Recioto instead of the traditional Amarone "lees". This technique gives a richly seductive wine, with terrific concentration and voluptuous texture!

Nice review for a well priced Rhone wine!
