Hendrick's Gin
$50.39
Hendrick's is a small-batch, handcrafted gin distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. No other gin tastes quite like it because no other gin is made like it. Hints of coriander, juniper, citrus peel, rose petal and an infusion of cucumber make for a delectably complex drink. The taste is clean and refreshing, yet unusually rich. When making the traditional gin and tonic, add a slice of cucumber! Your next cocktail will rock.
Torlesse Sauvignon Blanc
$21.24
Torlesse takes its name from an early Canterbury resident, surveyor and farmer, Englishman Charles Torlesse. He gave his name to the Torlesse mountain range, which part circles the Canterbury Plains and was at one time the largest land owner and farmer in North Canterbury, and founder of the nearby town of Rangiora. Interestingly, the name Torlesse is given to the underlying bedrock from which most New Zealand soils are derived.
Shaw and Smith Chardonnay
$57.79
The Adelaide Hills produces some of Australia's finest Chardonnay. M3 Vineyard was planted in 1995 and takes its name from owners Martin Shaw, Michael and Matthew Hill Smith. The grapes are hand picked and whole fruit pressed prior to undergoing barrel fermentation and maturation in French oak. But this is not an oaky Aussie. Sophisticated with pure fruit character, it's elegant. Wonderful with lobster.
d`Arenberg Dry Dam Riesling
$22.09
Four generations of the Osborn Family have made wine at the d'Arenberg vineyards in the hills just north of the township of McLaren Vale. The original d'Arenberg Riesling vineyard was next to a dam, or reservoir, which in the driest summers would completely dry up. Winemaker d'Arry Osbourn soon learned that a dry summer meant a very concentrated Riesling with lots of flavours and intensity.
Inniskillin Vidal Icewine 375ml
$63.74
Originally developed in the cool wine regions of Germany in the mid-1700s, Icewine is ideally suited to the Niagara peninsula climatic conditions. Grapes are left on the vine well into the winter months. The resulting freezing and thawing dehydrates the fruit, and concentrates the sugars, acids, and extracts in the berries, thereby intensifying the flavors and adding complexity. Uniquely Canadian!
Poli Sarpa Grappa
$58.49
Producer Description
"This Grappa was conceived in 1983, but it took a few years to see the light of day.
The goal was clear in my mind: a Grappa to encase the aromas of Tradition, but without the typical flaws of old fashion Grappas, often stingy, aggressive and oily.
It had to be an authentic Grappa, sincere and genuine, what I would now call a classic Grappa.
Moreover, it was meant to be a bridge between the Grappa of the past and the Grappa of the future, representing the present of Grappa with its best typical features."
Chateau Montifaud VS Cognac
$59.39
An incredible cognac at such a great price! The Montifaud VS is a single estate cognac made from a blend of 4 to 6 year old cognacs, and unlike most other brands has no added caramel. Montifaud is family-owned, by descendents of Augustin Vallet, who started it all in 1837. One for chilly nights with dear friends and family by the fire!
Greenock Creek Alices Shiraz
$61.19
Thrust into the international wine spotlight thanks to an unmatched eight perfect 100-point scores from the world’s leading wine publication, The Wine Advocate, Greenock Creek remains the proud standard-bearer for long-lived Barossa Valley red wines of deep colour, abundant flavour and great structure.
Their vineyards are situated in the sub-regions of Seppeltsfield, Marananga and Moppa located along the Barossa Valley’s western edge and are some of the oldest vines in the world. Thin, sandy loam topsoils lie sparsely scattered over ancient deposits of bluestone, marble stone, limestone, quartz and ironstone. Rainfall is limited, often to less than 400 millimetres a year falling through winter and early spring. Subsurface clay retains valuable moisture, sustaining the vines through the long, warm and dry summers and autumns. The perfect, low-disease-pressure conditions in which to grow small, healthy bunches of compact, flavour-packed berries.
Two Alices' are better than one! Alice's vineyard and the Shiraz it grows takes its name a mother and an aunt of Greenock Creek's owners Annabelle and Michael Waugh: Annabelle's mom and Michael's favourite aunt. Alices Shiraz is one of the iconic big reds in Greenock Creek's portfolio and is also the winery's largest vineyard with a total area of 15 acres. The vines on the site were planted in 1997.

Producer Description
"Matured first in bourbon barrels then Oloroso casks, there's no finer example of a sherry cask finish than our 15 Year Old. It's the final three years spent in Oloroso sherry casks that gives Bowmore 15 Year Old the rich, deep colour and robust warming finish."
