Hopewell Brewing Oktoberfest

 

Hopewell Brewing Oktoberfest...$10.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
We’ve brewed this Märzen-style Lager for many years at this point, but for the first time ever we decided to try a new process: krausening. For the uninitiated, krausening involves taking fresh yeast from an actively fermenting beer and adding it to a mostly fermented one to healthily finish the process, and further aid in conditioning, plus the removal of unwanted fermentation byproducts.

What results is a stunningly clean, amber-hued lager with just the right balance of bready malt character and a noble hop-accented, drying finish. Get into it.  5%ABV

Destihl Oktoberfest German-Style Märzen Beer


Oktoberfest Season!!

Destihl Oktoberfest German-Style Märzen Beer....$10.99 / 6pk
5.8% ABV
This is a German-style Märzen characterized by a medium body & light reddish-orange color. Sweet maltiness dominates slightly over a clean hop bitterness. Malt character is light-toasted rather than strongly caramel with bread or biscuit-like alt character present in aroma & flavor. Hop aroma & flavor are low but notable, while fruity esters are absent.

Deep golden in color, this Oktoberfest lager features German Hersbrucker, a noble hop with a spice finish and delicate aroma. This beer has a complex malt profile and a full-bodied mouth feel with a crisp, clean finish. 5.6%

Boulevard Bob's 47 Oktoberfest



Boulevard Bob's 47 Oktoberfest...$9.99 / 6pk
Our fall seasonal beer, Bob’s ’47 Oktoberfest is a medium-bodied, dark amber brew with a malty flavor and well-balanced hop character. With this Munich-style lager we salute our friend Bob Werkowitch, Master Brewer and graduate of the U.S. Brewer’s Academy, 1947.

Paulaner Oktoberfest



Paulaner Oktoberfest...$9.99 / 4pk 16.9oz cans
Ever since 1818, we have brewed our bottom-fermented Oktoberfest Bier during Oktoberfest – Germany’s favorite Oktoberfest beer and a true institution in Munich. The glass is full of October sunshine, strong and golden. The perfect balance of a light taste of hops and a strong note of malt. A feast of a beer, which always goes down well.

2023 La Scolca White Label Gavi





On sale!
2023 La Scolca White Label Gavi...$14.99

Fresh and lemony, this white is medium-bodied, showing aromas of peach, lemon and pear. Linear and refreshing.
Rated 90/100 James Suckling
The 2023 La Scolca White Label Gavi showcases the elegance and precision that have made this estate a benchmark for Cortese in the heart of Piedmont. Sourced from vineyards in Rovereto—the “Grand Cru of Gavi”—this wine offers a crystalline, bone-dry profile with vibrant citrus, green apple, and pear layered over delicate floral and anise notes. A streak of minerality and bright acidity gives it a refreshing lift, making it a versatile partner for seafood, light pastas, and fresh salads.

2021 Beaulieu Vineyards Tapestry Reserve Red Blend






2021 Beaulieu Vineyards Tapestry Reserve Red Blend...$55.99
A layered and lightly chewy red with currant, orange peel and hints of hazelnut. Fine tannins. Some pine, cedar, graphite, black currant and iodine. Perfumed. Tannins turn fine and bright. Excellent length and serious tension. One of the best I have had. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 15% petit verdot, 11% cabernet franc, 9% malbec and 5% merlot. Drinkable but will age nicely. Best in two or three years
Rated 96/100 James Suckling

Tait The Ball Buster Proprietary Red



2021 Tait The Ball Buster Proprietary Red..$19.99
86% Shiraz, 5% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon
90 POINTS – 17 VINTAGES IN A ROW!  The new 2021 just scored
The bold and oaky 2021 The Ball Buster ripples with fleshy sweet and inviting chocolate blackberry aromas. Coconut oak with generously ripened cherry jam flavors provide upfront impact before settling into a supple, crowd pleasing style punctuated by light tannins. 2024-2027
Rated 90/100 Vinous Media
Made in the same full-on style that proprietor Bruno Tait has been pursuing since its first vintage in 2001, Tait’s 2018 The Ball Buster Proprietary Red is a blend of 77% Shiraz, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. Mint and baking spices lead the way, backed by a big mouthful of blackberries and black cherries. Full-bodied yet supple, it’s spicy and rich, with lingering notes of mixed berries and spice on the finish. Despite weighing in at 15.9% alcohol on the label, it doesn’t seem hot or overripe—an achievement in itself, but past vertical tastings suggest that this wine can develop nicely for a decade or more.

2022 Henri Bourgeois Sancerre ES-56 Domaine

Wine Spectator #80 Top 100 Wines of 2024


2022 Henri Bourgeois Sancerre ES-56 Domaine...$43.99
Sol de Silex
A distinctive Sancerre, with fleshy persimmon, yellow plum and verbena notes. Offers plenty of richness buoyed by a salty mineral layer, while dried herb details and tangy acidity wash through. A waft of smoke hangs over the long finish, marked by a bitter kick of pink grapefruit pith. Drink now through 2032. 4,000 cases made, 700 cases imported.
Rated 92/100 The Wine Spectator
A solid, precise and lively Sancerre with so much mineral character. Aromas of leaves, flint, gunpowder, mild spices and dried lemons dominate on the nose. It’s medium-bodied yet so intense, full of verve and drive. There is a bright acidity driving the vertical dimension in the long, focused, stony finish. Drink or hold.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling
