Canella Lido Prosecco Rose
$25.99
The Canella winery began in a small, family-style restaurant in San Donà di Piave in the Veneto region when owner Giovanna tasked her son Luciano with managing the restaurant’s wine program. He began searching the surrounding areas for the best wines for his mother’s cuisine, finally deciding to create his own. He experimented with adding bubbles to a base wine and sweetening it himself. The wine was a great success and ultimately, demand began to far exceed his ability to supply so he opened his first winery, hired a team, and sold the first Canella-labelled wines. A true pioneer in the world of Prosecco, Canella is a shining example of Venetian creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit. Canella is found in Conegliano, the appellation’s historical core. The large hillside vineyards are located at the precise altitude where grape-ripening is more gradual and as a result, the fragrances are more intense and the natural fruit acidity is at its best.
As of August 1, 2009, wines may only be labelled Prosecco if they have been produced in specific zones of northeastern Italy and if they carry the Prosecco DOC designation. In turn, the historic areas of Prosecco Conegliano- Valdobbiadene and Colli Asolani, were upgraded to DOCG designation.
Kir-Yianni Assyrtiko
$31.99
As its label suggests, Assyrtiko is produced from selected vine parcels located in the north of Greece, at the village of Agios Panteleimonas in Florina, at the unique plateau of Amyndeon. There lies the cooler viti-vini region of Greece, consisting of an exceptional mixture of elements. High altitudes between 600 – 700 meters and poor sandy soils on a stunning terrain of raw mountainous beauty. The four neighbouring lakes act as a moderating influence of surrounding temperatures all year round, contributing to the continental-ish climate with cold -often snowy- winters and mild summers, notable diurnal variation, and the beneficial, trademark to the area, wind blowing from the north. For this introduction to the varietal mountainous expression, they select mostly young vines of Assyrtiko (average age of vines 10 years).

MacNair`s Exploration Rum Jamaica Peated
$104.99
The spirit was produced by the Clarendon Distillery in Jamaica before being transported to GlenAllachie Distillery in Scotland. It was initially filled into a mix of American and French oak casks before finishing in ex-Meikle Toir (peated GlenAllachie) casks. 46%.
Producer Description
"Produced from the highest quality sugar cane grown in Jamaica, at the heart of the Caribbean, this pot still rum has enjoyed a unique maturation journey, having been fully matured at The GlenAllachie Distillery. The spirit was sourced from Southern Jamaica’s Clarendon
Distillery, which lies on one of the oldest sugar cane plantations on the island and is one of only four producers in the country. Renowned for crafting some of the most flavourful and intense rums in the world, Jamaica has been a hub of rum production since the 17th century.
"For this release, our Master Blender Billy Walker sourced high, medium and low ester spirit. Initially filled to a mixture of American and French oak casks at 86% ABV, the rum was left to mature at each ester level for 30 months. The spirit was then reduced to 69% ABV and re-filled to casks which previously held peated GlenAllachie to add a distinctive twist. Using his half-century of experience, Billy then expertly blended the spirit to craft an expression in which the subtle peat smoke and charred cedar wood notes marry perfectly with the Caribbean jerk and ester-fuelled rum."
