Les Bourgeois Vineyards Launches New Distillate Brand
Les Bourgeois Vineyards, a Missouri-based vineyard and winery in Rocheport, MO, has partnered with a local distiller to launch a craft distillate brand -- Planck & Anchor Distillers.
The brand name is derived from distiller Jonny Ver Planck of Jefferson City. Ver Planck's history and experience with distilling is rooted in the tropics and represented in the brand and products.
"It really started out of an idea to distill vodka and go straight from the still to bottle and to drink at my own bar I planned on opening in Belize. Once I started distilling I quickly fell in love and got back to my rum. To put it shortly, I travel the world for work and try liquors from all over with many people and I love the way it brings culture and people together the same way music, my other job, does," said Ver Planck.
The flagship products being released under the Planck & Anchor Distillers brand are the Rocheport Rum line of white, gold, coconut, aged and spiced rum along with a vodka and gin. The first of these products will be the white rum launching on May 1 with the gold to follow closely thereafter.
This new endeavor will provide Les Bourgeois with opportunities to expand their product line without affecting the quantity of wine production.
"The relationship between the winery and the distillery is symbiotic. We already have the tools it takes to have a successful fermentation. It also gives a second life to the winery's tanks. Once you have fermented your vintage and finished that year's wines, your tanks sit empty for a good portion of the year," said Jacob Holman, winemaker at Les Bourgeois. "With this collaboration you can ferment non-grape products in your off season getting more value out of your tanks."
Les Bourgeois Vineyards has installed two small stills in a portion of old the wine production facility, which used to be Pete's Cafe. While the distillery space is still under construction, distilling has continued. After much analysis and fine tuning they have perfected their white rum product and are in the process of the first bottling run.
Renowned for its spectacular bluff-top view of the Missouri River Valley, Les Bourgeois Vineyards and Winery is one of Mid-Missouri's premiere cultural and recreational attractions. Upon completion of construction, Les Bourgeois hopes to increase tourism traffic to the Columbia area and enrich the experience with the multifaceted location.
A family owned and operated vineyard, Les Bourgeois offers a unique combination of rural quaintness and accessibility. Just off interstate 70, guests may take a tour of the new production facility, sample a selection of award-winning Missouri wines, indulge in a meal at the bluff-top Bistro overlooking the Missouri River or share a quaint picnic at the A-Frame wine garden.

95 Point Cab Sauv!
2011 Denner Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon...$59.99
One of the highlights in this range, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Blackberry jam, cassis, grilled herbs, menthol and smoke all jump from the glass. The juicy, exuberant fruit is pure Paso, while the aromatic and savory notes are those from a long, cool growing season. A hint of dark spices from the 80% new oak lingers on the finish. Readers will have a hard time finding a California Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers this much quality and pure pleasure for the money. In 2011, winemaker Anthony Young decided to bottle one lot of his Mother of Exiles Cabernet Sauvignon on its own, which turned out to be a brilliant decision. What a gorgeous wine this is.

TOPO Disitillery: Chapel Hill North Carolina
Certified Organic
TOPO Organic Vodka...$26.99
F. Paul Pacult's
Spirits Journal: Five Stars, Highest Recommendation
"Clear as rainwater. I favorably respond to the toasty, grainy smell of wheat snack crackers that greets you after the pour... Entry is sturdy, moderately viscous, cereal dry yet with a beany bittersweet aspect thatÃs very charming; mid palate is long, significantly sweeter than the entry, creamy in texture and vanilla-like. It is rare that I come across an unflavored grain-based vodka with as much layering, depth of flavor, character and ribbony texture. Tasty enough to quaff neat and slightly chilled."
TOPO Organic Piedmont Gin...$25.99
F. Paul Pacult's Spirits Journal: Four Stars, Highly Recommended
Cocktail Enthusiast:
"TOPO Piedmont Gin is really interesting on the nose. The juniper is there, but itÃs subtle. More prominent are some soft, sweet vanilla aromas, plus some fruit, cardamom and a bit of mint. Drink up and you'll get more cardamom, some cucumber and plenty of citrus...This is an easy-drinking gin. Especially at 92 proof...And one thing we like the best: its base spirit, that soft winter wheat, is never overpowered. The sweetness of the wheat shines through to mingle with the botanicals."
TOPO Organic Carolina Moonshine Whiskey....$21.99
Tasting Panel Magazine:
"Fudge and clay soothe on the first whiff, evolving to an earthy vanilla bean note. A clean, pure sensation is buoyed by the lightweight texture and peppered fudge in the mouth. The taste lingers, a generous spread of its wonderfully sweet character."

Against the Grain is back
Against the Grain Rico Sauvin....$13.99 / 22oz
Ahh Dey Ahh Dey, RRRRico Ahh Dey Ahh Dey Saaaauvin!
An India Pale Ale featuring Nelson Sauvin hops. Named after the Sauvignon Blanc grape, is a variety of hop developed and grown in New Zealand. It has a strong fruity flavor and aroma that is described as resembling white wine, or fresh crushed grapes or gooseberries. Some reviewers of this hop perceive the fruitiness as being very tropical with descriptions including passion fruit, tangerines, and grapefruit. These hops are organic and are about 4 times as expensive as our normal American varieties, hence the footed glass only.

Citra ass down and crush this beer!
Against the Grain Citra Ass Down...$13.99 / 22oz
This is a very hop forward American style IPA. Brewed with Pale, Vienna, Munich and wheat malt for a solid base for all American hops, focusing mainly on the variety “Citra.” Citra hops are a relatively new variety introduced in 2008. It was bred as a hybrid of a number of different hops, including Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, U.S. Tettnanger, East Kent Golding, Bavarian, Brewers Gold, and other unknown hops. The resulting hop, Citra, has a distinct citrusy and tropical fruit flavor and aroma. In Citra ass down we used American Columbus for bittering and 11# of Citra at the end of the boil for late kettle addition flavor and aroma. Then we added 6 more pounds Citra and 5# Centennial post fermention for aroma. Rebrewed for your tasting pleasure!
ABV 7.6%
With this beer, we’re putting in a swimming pool! And if there’s enough
left over, we’re gonna fly you all down here to help us dedicate it.
Not your typical “Jelly of the Month Club” beer. Dark roasted malt and bittersweet cocoa and coffee flavor and aroma burst from this pitch black milk stout. The full body and sweetness are derived from the addition of lactose (aka milk sugar) which is not fermentable by beer yeast. A healthy dose of Nugget and Crystal hops provides a counterpoint to this ale’s rich and complex maltiness.
ABV: 7.7% IBU 25.5

Comes packaged in very nice humidor
A.H. Hirsch Reserve is the manifestation of the American Spirit. This extraordinary bourbon had a long, dramatic journey from its inception to this final bottling. In fact, the history behind A.H. Hirsch speaks volumes about why it is not just the finest American bourbon ever made, but indeed a rare national artifact.
On the last day before prohibition, the line outside Michter's Distillery stretched 2.5 miles. Customers came on that cold day in 1919 to fill casks, bottles and tin cups and to drink their last rations of legal whiskey. A.H. Hirsch Reserve is a complete rarity- a whiskey of uncompromising quality and individual character. Matured in oak casks for 16 years, this whiskey shows the difference that traditional cask ageing makes. A must-have for any whiskey lover.
This is an exquisite, keepsake presentation for the last remaining bottles of the legendary A.H. Reserve 16 year old Bourbon. The humidor is handcrafted mahogany, and includes a scroll with an in-depth look at the spirited history of Michter's Distillery, a certificate of authenticity, a custom made heavy-metal T-Cork, and the one-of-a-kind (soon to be 'none-of-a-kind') - A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16 year old bourbon. The bottle is hand-blown and numbered.

Stewed damsons and plum conserve. Raisins, sultanas and fine grand cru chocolate provide lovely depth and structure. Prominent rose wine hue, built around a light copper orange core. Fruit shortcake drenched in vanilla custard, with a scattering of dried figs, dates and wild strawberries. Smooth tannins and light acidity highlight a wonderfully long finish.

Cask strength and matured in a combination of pedro ximenez and oloroso sherry casks. Non-chill filtered and of natural color.
Rich golden amber with a crimson heart. Wonderful rich aromas of honey drenched raisins and sultanas. Candied ginger and orange peel are spiced with a beautifully delicate back note of warm oak. A perfectly balanced traditional sherried character. An explosion of chocolate coated raisins and zest of orange, mellowed with sweet warm oak spices, hints of soft toffee and gentle sugared almonds. A uniquely balanced classic finish.
