Jim Barry the Cover Drive

2012 Jim Barry The Cover Drive...$16.99

With vineyards in Coonawarra as well as its Clare Valley home turf, a blend makes a great deal of sense. The colour is excellent, and the medium-bodied palate has an effortless display of cassis, redcurrant and plum fruit, oak integrated, the tannins fine and ripe.

Rated 92/100 James Halliday

Morrigan Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey

Morrigan Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey...$23.99 

Our whisky is produced and bottled in Ireland. It’s only in Ireland where they practically do not use peat when drying malt. That is why the taste of smoke that is peculiar to many of Scotch whiskies can rarely be found in Irish whisky. This makes this beverage noble. The highest quality is achieved by triple distillation and by the technological methods used by the most famous Irish producers. All cycles of production and bottling take place in Ireland, serving as a guarantee of quality and exclusiveness of the product. Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey

Ommegang Upside Down Brown with Brett

Back in stock!

Ommegang Upsdie Brown Ale...$12.99 / 750ml
What can “brown” do for you? Our latest Brewmaster’s Obsession Series ale turns your world upside down. The use of wild Brettanomyces yeast makes the beer more complex – yet magically more drinkable at the same time. The challenge to tame wild yeast is an obsession that drives our brewers, and fuels a passion for making great beer.

Upside Brown has a dark amber,deep copper hue with good clarity and a slightly off-white head. Fruit-filled aromas are dominated by pineapple and cherry, rounded out with a touch of farmyard funk. Sweet malt character is balanced by brett tartness with underlying flavors of cherry and dark fruits. Lively carbonation, dry and tart with a medium-light body. This fine ale can also evolve - cellar for a dryer and more pronounced brett presence. 7% ABV

This, combined with the worm tubs used to condense the spirit, gives the whisky the complexity for which it is renowned. This also makes the whisky suitable for longer ageing.

New , limited Glenmorangie Tusail

Back in stock!

Glenmorangie Tusail Single Malt Scotch....$119.99

The 6th release from Glenmorangie's award-winning Private Edition, Tùsail is the product of a carefully-selected parcel of Maris Otter barley, floor-malted by hand using traditional techniques, and non chill-filtered.

A rich winter variety of barley first introduced in 1965, Maris Otter was bred specifically to meet the demand for a high quality brewing malt and recognized for its ability to impart rich, rustic malty flavours. Now used only by a select few who continue, like Glenmorangie, to uphold an ethos of sacrificing yield for quality by using only the finest ingredients, the result is a whisky celebrating the variety’s renowned taste profile.

Stone Ruination 2.0 - new version is here!

Stone Ruination 2.0 Double IPA....$12.99 / 6 pack

Stone Ruination IPA was the first full-time brewed and bottled West Coast double IPA on the planet. As craft beer has evolved over the years, so too have techniques for maximizing hop flavors and aromas. For the second incarnation of our groundbreaking India pale ale, we employed dry hopping and hop bursting to squeeze every last drop of piney, citrusy, tropical essence from the hops that give this beer its incredible character. We’ve also updated the name to reflect the imperial-level intensity that’s evident in every sip. Join us in cheering this, the second stanza in our “Liquid Poem to the Glory of the Hop.”

Fresh Cans from Bells

Canned April 23

Bells Two Hearted Ale...$7.99 / 4pk of 16oz CANS
Two Hearted Ale is defined by its intense hop aroma and malt balance. Hopped exclusively with the Centennial hop varietal from the Pacific Northwest, massive additions in the kettle and again in the fermenter lend their characteristic grapefruit and pine resin aromas. A significant malt body balances this hop presence; together with the signature fruity aromas of Bell's house yeast, this leads to a remarkably drinkable American-style India Pale Ale.

Canned May 4
Bells Oberon Hoppy Wheat Ale...$6.99 / 4pk of 16oz CANS
Bell's Oberon is a wheat ale fermented with Bell's signature house ale yeast, mixing a spicy hop character with mildly fruity aromas. The addition of wheat malt lends a smooth mouthfeel, making it a classic summer beer.

Terra Incognita

Sierra Nevada / Boulevard Terra Incognita #3...$9.99 / 750ml

SIERRA NEVADA AND BOULEVARD MAKE THEIR THIRD CALIFORNIA TRAIL TRIP
The latest iteration of Terra Incognita emerges in Northern California

Chico, CA—August 14, 2014—Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Boulevard Brewing Company today announced that round three of their ever-evolving collaboration Terra Incognita will hit retail shelves late this month. First created in 2012 for SAVOR, a Brewers Association beer and food event, Terra Incognita proved too fun and flavorful a project to be a one-off. The beer, always a unique blend of fresh and aged ale, does not include the late addition of the wild yeast Brettanomyces this year.

“The base beer is a roasty, hopped-up brown ale that evolves in such interesting ways when it spends time in wine and whiskey barrels,” said Sierra Nevada Head Brewer Steve Dresler. “We hosted Boulevard at our Chico brewery and together tasted various blending ratios until we had a final beer that captivated us. We imagine craft beer drinkers will be similarly impressed.”

“Collaborating with Sierra Nevada on Terra Incognita the past three years has been a great experience,” said Steven Pauwels, Boulevard’s Brewmaster. “We learn from each other, laugh a lot, and the beer we’ve made has impressed my taste buds every time. This year is no exception.”

Terra Incognita celebrates and merges strengths of Sierra Nevada (savvy use of whole-cone hops) and Boulevard (barrel aging prowess). The beer’s name means “land unknown” and recalls the centuries old California Trail that connects the two breweries—an overland wagon trail across the western half of the US from Missouri river towns to what is now the state of California. This year’s final blend of Terra Incognita is a precise ratio: 55 percent wine barrel-aged ale, 32 percent bourbon barrel-aged ale, and 13 percent fresh ale. Sierra Nevada assertively hopped the brown ale before splitting it between red wine and bourbon barrels where it matured for 6 months, resulting in a 9.8% ABV blended beer whose earthy malt flavors are dressed in notes of tart fruit, vanilla and coconut.

65% Sauvignon Blanc

Chateau Tuilerie Pages is an outstanding white Bordeaux wine from Entre-Deux-Mers. Well known for extraordinary white wines, Entre-Deux-Mers (meaning "between the two seas") the region is located between the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers.

With sumptuous tropical fruit aromas, the wine is a standout in its iconic electric blue bottle.

Ciacci 2010 Brunellos -

2010 Ciacci Brunello di Montalcino "Pianrosso"....$139.99 / MAGNUM

Beautiful and delicate from the start, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna di Pianrosso impresses for its depth and balance. The wine sees one more year of oak cask aging compared to the base Brunello and you can definitely sense the extra spice on the nose. Those delicate balsam notes of root beer, ginger and rosemary oil are still prominently on display. Rich spice, leather and tar are followed by dark fruit, prune, blackberry and cassis. The finish is graceful and silky, but its length remains impressive. This is a terrific effort that promises a steady evolution ahead.

Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate

2010 Ciacci Brunello di Montalcino...$28.99 / 375ml 

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino represents a return to the traditional values of Montalcino. The bouquet is buoyant and bright with lingering tones of smoke, ash, balsam herb, licorice and soy sauce. Those kinds of aromas make Brunello such a wonderful wine and thankfully you get them in abundance here. Dry mineral and brimstone also give the wine a sense of focus, sharpness and cleanliness that is very appealing. The close is long, fine and polished. I look forward to retasting this bottle five years from now.
