Genesee Bock Beer


Genesee Bock Beer...$5.99 / 6pk
Introduced in 1951
Our take on the 16th century German legend has turned out to be a legend in its own right. For every spring since 1951, our brewery has carefully crafted and lagered Genesee Bock Beer. The result is an exceptionally hearty, full-flavored beer with a slight malty finish—and a perfect way to celebrate the snow melt.

Gingerbread Cookie Hard Cider


Crown Valley Gingerbread Cookie Hard Cider....$4.99 / 22oz
It is our semi-sweet apple cider with natural ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and vanilla.  Giving a wonderful gingerbread cookie flavor.

Don Q Rums are back after a number of years!




The Original Cristal Rum!!
Don Q Cristal Rum...$9.99
Unlike most clear rums, Don Q uses a multiple distillation system to produce a cleaner, more refined, and more delicate flavor profile. So a Don Q drink will sip smoother than a drink made with another rum. So smooth, in fact, that you can substitute Cristal in a vodka drink, and most won’t be able to tell the difference. It’s then aged for 1 1/2 to 5 years in American White Oak barrels to impart a touch more smoothness. Try it. You’ll see.


Don Q Anejo Rum...$15.99
We like to think Puerto Rico has the happiest angels in all the world: when we age our Añejo rum, we lose up to 10 percent to evaporation. Compare that to Scotland, which loses only two percent to the so-called “Angel’s Share”. Aged in American White Oak barrels from three to ten years, Añejo offers a bouquet and mouthfeel that rum experts find...well...intoxicating.

Don Q Rum Gran Anejo...$53.99
Aging mellows a spirit. It also brings out new flavors and aromas. Our Gran Añejo contains a blend of rums aged between 3 and 12 years and Solera rums aged up to 20 years, creating a balance between sweet and dry that you won’t get in other spirits. Drink it on the rocks, drink it neat. If you must, add a splash of ginger (we won’t tell anyone). Drink it slow, and share a moment with your friends.


2013 Fevre Chablis in stock now!



IN STOCK NOW!!!
2013 William Fevre Chablis
2013 William Fevre Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru...$119.99
The perfumed and penetrating nose is unusually expressive for a young Les Clos and there is so much iodine, mineral reduction and oyster shell nuances present that this could be from nowhere else but Chablis. The big, powerful and imposingly scaled flavors ooze both dry extract and a pungent minerality yet the balance is perfect on the intensely saline finish that is markedly dry but once again not really austere. This should be terrific though note that patience will be required.
Rated 93-96/100 Burghound
Rated 93-96/100 Stephen Tanzer


2013 William Fevre Bougros Cote Bougerots Grand Cru...$104.99
The 2013 version displays a deft touch of oak that again is sufficiently subtle as to allow the ripe and very fresh white and yellow orchard fruit, sea breeze and iodine scents to shine. There is excellent punch as well as fine detail to the almost aggressively mineral-driven flavors that possess good power but also a lovely sense of refinement on the wonderfully long and impeccably well-balanced finish. Exquisite.
Rated 93-95/100 Burghound
Rated 92-94/100 Stephen Tanzer


2013 William Fevre Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru...$68.99
Pale, green-tinged yellow. Aromas of lime leaf and mint are lifted by steely minerality. Dense, rich and powerful, even opulent, but without any heaviness. Harmonious acidity frames and intensifies the white peach, lime and mineral flavors. Still holding a lot of gas following the recent end of the secondary fermentation. This beauty is less clenched than the 2012 was at this time last year. A beauty in the making.

2013 William Fevre Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru...$51.99 / 750ml
2013 William Fevre Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru...$29.99 / 375ml
A wine of structure, depth and gravitas, the 2013 Chablis Vaillons is endowed with serious intensity and minerality. The flavors are remarkably transparent and translucent in this striking, chiseled Chablis. There is plenty to look forward to here. This warm, sunny site is one of the first vineyards Fèvre harvests, along with Vaudesir.

2013 William Fevre Chablis Fourchame 1er Cru...$51.99 / 750ml
2013 William Fevre Chablis Fourchame 1er Cru...$29.99 / 375ml
The 2013 Chablis Fourchaume stands out for its length and overall persistence. Mineral and nutty notes dominate over fruit at this point, as the Fourchaume is mostly a wine of pure texture and overall harmony today. This is an exceptionally beautiful, highly promising Chablis from Fèvre. The Fourchaume emerges from the domaine's younger vines in Vaulorent, while the older vines go into the Vaulorent bottling

Limited Whisky in collab with Macallan Managing Director




The Exceptional Grain Scotch Whisky....$75.99

A significant small batch Scotch Whisky created by Don Sutcliffe, managing director of Craft Distillers and 35-year veteran of distilled spirits marketing, in collaboration with Willie Phillips, for 23 years managing director of The Macallan.

The inaugural release, autumn 2013, was The Exceptional Grain, a blend of very special aged Scotch grain whiskies, selected from several different distilleries, each barrel chosen for its distinctive & memorable characteristics. While others blend to produce year-in, year-out consistency, each edition of The Exceptional Grain will offer a Whisky that is authentically individual, possessed of its own qualitative and stylistic distinction.

The Exception Malt will be released in the fall of 2014; the Exceptional Blend in 2015.


THE EXCEPTIONAL GRAIN
A blend of remarkable aged grain whiskies, including a barrel of 30-year-old from the Carsebridge Distillery, long since closed. Blended by Willie Phillips, formerly of The Macallan; finished in first-fill sherry casks. Subtle, elegant, authentically individual, with great structure. (750ML/43%abv)

El Dorado Demerara Rum 25 year Old

Limited, 2 bottles in stock at Forsyth now
El Dorado Demerara Rum 25 year Old...$489.99
Distilled in 1988
A very limited edition for the connoisseur who appreciates the best in the world of spirits.
An extremely rare creature and a rare experience to savour. Created to mark the turn of the millennium, 25 Year Old Vintage Reserve is presented in an appropriately distinctive decanter to treasure or to give with pleasure.

This exquisite vintage rum possesses a silky smoothness which challenges the oldest cognac. The constant ambient warmth and tropical conditions of Demerara dramatically hasten the maturation process – producing a spirit that is the equivalent of one aged for many more years in a cooler climate.
Tasting Notes:

An extremely rare creature, this rum is rich, smooth and mellow with soft syrupy mouth-feel and subtle notes of caramel and heavy fruit cake. An after-dinner treat for sipping slowly and sparingly.

Blackadder Limited Releases


New batches of Blackadder and very limited!
Blackadder RAW CASK is whisky as it always was. Whisky as it used to be. Every drop is "Whisky from the Old School". We wanted to bottle whisky as it would have been when served direct from the casks behind the bar in Scotland’s pubs one hundred years or so ago.  Blackadder does not believe in chill-filtering or in colouring whisky. We believe that the purest is the best. Quite simply, Blackadder RAW CASK is every bit a Blackadder whisky but even more so. We use a special bottling process to make sure that each and every bottle of Blackadder RAW CASK contains its own share of the cask sediments as well as of natural oils and fats that might otherwise be left behind when filling a cask strength whisky straight from cask. This ensures the maximum possible natural flavour is in each and every bottle. The only thing we do when bottling is to use a small filter to ensure that splinters of wood from the cask do not inadvertently pass into the bottle.

Salumi is in stock!

Great Salami just arrived!

Salumi Artisan Cured Meats


These are some of the best salamis in the country....Salumi Artisan Cured Meats....come in ask for taste.



"Salumi Artisan Cured Meats in Seattle is the semi-retirement project of the father of TV chef Mario Batali. With a mission to cure meats like salami in the traditional Italian way - with more than a dash of innovation - Batali is doing for the salami industry what many artisanal American cheese producers have done for good stinky cheese: He's creating a great domestic artisanal product in a niche where really excellent offerings traditionally came from abroad." -- Jessica Thompson



A new load just arrived at Forsyth....
Come in and asked for a taste, all sliced fresh to order.

Coppa
Carved from the center of a pork shoulder, our tender Coppa is then rolled in chili flakes before it is stuffed and hung to air dry. When cut, its beautifully marbled slices are a feast for the eyes and the palate.

Agrumi
A fragrant and colorful salame, with cardamom, orange peel and red chili flakes.

Hot Sopressata
A familiar Italian classic! Ours in intensely red and has a slight bite. A must have for Italian sandwiches.
Pancetta
Pork bellies, rolled and spiced with black pepper.


Finocchiona Salami

"A traditional Tuscan Salami flavored with fennel with a rough texture from the hand-mixed pork. This is the customer favorite at Batali's store in Seattle" -- Batali


Mole Salami
''We developed the mole because we have a large Spanish community here, but also because I wanted something totally different, broken away from Italian custom with the same concept of curing but a whole distinct new level of flavor. The dark-colored mole salami has the same homemade texture as the others, only with a deep hint of chocolate."-- Batali

House Salami
"Our house signature salame with a touch of ginger. Mild with a slight tartness at the end." -- Salumi

New Asturian Cider




SERVING ASTURIAN CIDER
When Asturian cider is served, it is poured in a particular way; El Escanciado: since it is natural and bottled without gas, the bottle must be held above the head allowing for a long vertical pour (requiring considerable skill and accuracy), which causes the cider to be aerated when it splashes into the glass below. This gives it a pleasant "zingy" taste. The glass is passed around and everyone drinks from the same glass. After drinking most of the glass, it is customary to splash a little out onto the ground, as a way to clean the glass of any lees for the next pouring.




Llaneza Natural Cider...$6.99 / 700ml
Sidra Fonciello - Tinana, Asturias, Spain

come in and ask for a free taste




Meadowkass Spring Milk Dutch Cheese
In Holland, nothing expresses the coming of Spring more than fields filled with green grasses and brightly colored tulips. To celebrate this vibrant time of year, the cheese makers of Uniekaas create Meadowkaas, a young Dutch Spring milk cheese made in Gouda style – which uses only the milk from the cow’s first grazing. Over the Winter months, the grasses have grown rich in nutrients and flavor resulting in a treat for the cows which turn out copious quantities of fresh milk with a high cream content – over 50%, making this cheese rich and creamy with just a hint of salty and sweet.

Lots of ripe-blackberry, mineral and dark-chocolate character. Hints of rosemary and dark licorice as well. Full body with a dense, chewy mouthfeel and a long finish. It's very structured and powerful. Hints of walnut and chocolate on the aftertaste. Second wine of Ornellaia and what a wine. Try after 2019.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling
The 2012 Bolgheri Le Serre Nuove is a voluptuous and generous wine that bursts forth with wild-cherry aromas, blackberry, crème de cassis, oak spice and smoke. The blend of grapes this year is 52% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 12% Petit Verdot. It awards pleasure and smoothness, thanks to its plump tannins and ripe fruit overtones. Le Serre Nuove shows the acidity and structure for ten years or more of cellar aging.

93 Point Chard from Hansel




2012 Walter Hansel Chardonnay Russian Valley Estate...$27.99
The 2012 Chardonnay Estate, from a vineyard planted in 1976 and 1989, was aged in 38% new Francois Freres barrels, and goes through malolactic with lees stirring for about 6-8 weeks. Another terrific value, this 1,000-case beauty exhibits lots of white peach, honeyed citrus, brioche and pineapple notes enhanced by a gentle seasoning of wood spice, a full-bodied mouthfeel and loads of fruit as well as exuberance. There is a heavy underpinning of minerality running through this attractive Chardonnay. Consume it over the next 5-7 years.
