Basil Hayden Bourbon
$67.99
Basil Hayden Bourbon is made by Jim Beam Distillery. It is created using the high-rye Old Grand Dad mash bill, which purportedly contains about 27% Rye in the mash. Bottled at 40%.
When Basil Hayden Sr. began distilling his smooth bourbon in 1796, the state of Kentucky was only 4 years old and George Washington was president of the United States! Hayden was born and raised in Maryland, where he learned to make whiskey from rye. When he came to Kentucky, Hayden began making whiskey from a base of corn, but added a higher percentage of rye than other distillers, resulting in a smooth, mild bourbon that was distinctly his own.
Amaro Ramazzotti
$26.99
Made from a 200-year-old recipe! An Italian classic! Amaro is an Italian bitters, commonly served as a digestif after a big meal. It's generally served neat, without adding anything except perhaps a wedge of orange on the side. That said, it can be very refreshing with a bit of ice, or perhaps some tonic water or club soda. Amaro is made by crushing various herbs, bark and citrus in alcohol, and then adding sugar syrup. The mixture is then aged in bottle or wood.

$19.99
A very fruity Sauvignon Blanc! Prominent gooseberry flavours with hints of asparagus and a splash of vanilla. Good start to any occasion or meal.
Chapoutier La Bernadine Chateauneuf
$64.99
Since Michel Chapoutier (one of the most highly regarded winemakers in France) took control of this long-established firm in 1988, quality has soared. All the vineyards are now run on biodynamic principles. Chapoutier's La Bernardine is quite unique in that it is made up of only 1 -3 grape varieties when 13 are allowed by AOC law. At such low yields, Michel produces a rich, flavorful wine with moderate tannins.
Argiolas Costera Cannonau di Sardegna
$32.99
The Argiolas Costera is made from 100% Cannonau (Grenache) and is testimony to the quality of wine produced from this varietal.

A delicious choice for a myriad of dishes ranging from poultry and grilled meats to sausages.
