Rottensteiner Lagrein Riserva
$44.99
An exploration into the rich winemaking history of South Tyrol, Rottenstiner's Lagrein Riserva has elegance to spare. The sedimentary soils irrigated by the Talfer River passing through the vineyards near Bolzano allow for the native Lagrein grapes to flourish. After fermentation, the wine is matured in large wooden barrels to further develop texture and complexity.
A deep garnet-coloured wine, with arrestingly complex aromas that oscillate between delicate florals of violet and the earthly elegance of chocolate and spice. A distinct tannic edge is perfectly balanced by fresh yet restrained acidity, creating a wine just waiting to be paired with red meats and ripe, intense cheeses.
Carlone Davide Boca Piemonte
$73.99
Boca is both a small D.O.C. zone and a rare red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape (locally named Spanna, 70-90%) along with Vespolina and Uva Rara (Bonarda Novarese), vinified either together or separately. Despite its modest size, its roots can be traced back to Roman times.
The wine is grown in the north of Piedmont, along the Sesia River, on the wooded hills of the Novarra province around the towns of Boca, Maggiora, Cavallirio, Prato Sesia and Grignasco. It delivers notes of wild berries, cherry, and forest floor. Fine but grippy tannins make it a natural fit with beef and lamb.
Cecillon Dragon Eau de Vie
$63.99
This French Eau de Vie is made from barrel-aged cider that is distilled and then bottled at 40%.
Terredora Irpinia Falanghina 2024
$39.99
Made from 100% Falanghina harvested from selected vineyards in Campania.
This winery begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terradora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Piedirosso and Falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the South for its power and its ability to age for many years. We have just received their Irpinia Aglianico, Falanghina, Rosato, and Lacryma Cristi Rosso (made from Piedirosso).

Yukon Stranded Sun Radler Tall Can
$4.39
This Ralder from Yukon Brewing contains carbonated lemonade and a touch of lavender. 3% ABV.
From The Producer
"The word radler comes from the German word for cyclist. There are a number of stories about how that morphed into a beer name (no doubt one of them is true… we just don’t know which one). Suffice it to say that the beer is a mix of beer and carbonated lemonade, making it light and ridiculously refreshing. It was our desire to add a twist of flavour and aroma to that concoction, and after some trial and error, settled on lavender. While the lavender is subtle (which it should be, after all) it pairs excellently with the lemon."
Cecillon Divona Cider 300mL Bottle

Wild yeasts are necessary to make the natural bubbles, It displays a fruity nose, fine bubbles, light golden colour, slightly dry with caramel and vanilla flavours.
Alois Lageder Dolomiti Pinot Grigio
$28.99
The Alois Lageder winery in Alto Adige comprises fifty-five hectares of the family's own vineyards, which are managed on the basis of biodynamic principles. Their roots go back to 1823 when the young craftsman Johann Lageder set himself up as a wine merchant in Bolzano. His successors started to produce their own wines and acquired a number of vineyards. Alois III, the great-grandson of the founder of the business, saw the variety of climate zones in Alto Adige as one of the region’s strengths and in 1934 purchased the Löwengang wine estate in Magrè, in the southern part of Alto Adige. Soon smaller winegrowers also began to supply him with grapes. When Alois III died unexpectedly in 1963, Alois IV was only 12 years old. His wife Christiane and his eldest daughter Wendelgard accordingly managed the inheritance on an interim basis. Then, since the middle of the 1970s, Alois IV - together with his sister and her husband and oenologist Luis von Dellemann – set about repositioning the winery with a strict focus on quality and innovative methods in the vineyard and cellar. Today, the 50-hectare family-owned vineyards are farmed biodynamically.
