D'Arenberg The Hermit Crab White Blend

2016 D'Arenberg The Hermit Crab White Blend...$12.99

Chester Osborn manages to produce a cool and juicy white from the warm climes of McLaren Vale, particularly in 2016, when rain in late January refreshed the vines. He focuses this blend on fruit grown in free-draining soils over limestone, once a seabed built by the shells of creatures like hermit crabs. Early-harvested fruit provides brightness to the richer fruit left to ripen later. The wine has the crispness of Asian pear to balance the fuller notes of peach and smoky chamomile. Chill it for Dungeness crab.

Priorat Natur Vermut.

Priorat Natur Vermut...$23.99
Ruddy orange in hue, this Catalonia vermouth offers earthy aromas. The deep, intriguing palate has plenty of bittersweet interplay, flitting between hints of melon and white floral freshness to orange peel and almond bitterness, accented with rosemary and vanilla. Complex and delicious. New to the U.S. as of July 2017.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Enthusiast


IDEAL WITH.. slightly salty or savoury foods. However, traditional accompaniments from this region are olives, nuts and clams. It is also great with fish or seafood. Or, if you have a sweet tooth, you can drink our vermouth as a dessert together with a chocolate cake.
Drink it always cold. It can be drunk neat or with some ice cubes and an orange or lemon piece of fruit inside.
In the Priorat region, vermouth has been the aperitif par excellence for nearly 100 years. We make our vermouth according to ancient recipes. It is an authentic vermouth. It is intense, full of aromas, sweet and with a bitter finish that makes it fresh.

Dogfish Head Festina Peche.

Now in 6 packs!

Dogfish Head Festina Peche...$9.49 / 6pk

Was $9.49 for a 4pk!  2 extra beers for same price!
A refreshing neo-Berliner Weisse, Festina Peche.  Sadly, there are only a few breweries left in Berlin still brewing the Berliner Weisse style, which is characterized by its intense tartness (some say sour). There were once over 70 breweries in Berlin alone making this beer! In addition to fermentation with an ale yeast, Berliner Weisse is traditionally fermented with lactic cultures to produce its acidic (or green apple-like) character. Served as an apertif or summertime quencher, Festina is delicately hopped and has a pale straw color. To soften the intense sourness, Berliner Weisse is traditionally served with a dash of essence of woodruff or raspberry syrup. In Festina Peche, since the natural peach sugars are eaten by the yeast, the fruit complexity is woven into both the aroma and the taste of the beer so there is no need to doctor it with woodruff or raspberry syrup. Just open and enjoy!

Borgogno Chinato Barolo

Borgogno Chinato Barolo...$44.99 / liter bottle
The Barolo Chinato di Borgogno was created in the early decades of the 20th century. Thanks to the creativity of Cesare Borgogno, an enthusiastic herbalist and friend of large Vermut producers, including comm. Mario Cora and Count Alfredo Marone Cinzano. Producing this special wine involves starting from an excellent base, which must be Barolo. Sugar, alcohol and infusion. The infusion is the element that lends character. It is obtained from natural products, including roots, leaves, flowers, seeds and fruits, and there are at good 37 different spices. Of the most commonly used herbs and spices for the Barolo Chinato, the most notable is obviously the China in the three classic varieties: Calisaya, Soccimano, Succirubra. The Barolo Chinato has moderate alcohol content, a red colour somewhere between amber and garnet, the characteristic fragrance reminds on of tanned leather and the taste is warm, full-bodied and lingering. Best served in small glasses at 13⁰ or 14⁰, and enjoy with chocolate or with a chocolate based baked goods. In addition to the Barolo Chinato Borgogno also produces the Chinato and the Bianco Borgogno, with the same production method but a different base.

The Chinato Borgogno is produced with 70% Nebbiolo and 30% Barbera.

Partner Sweet Vermouth

Partner Sweet Vermouth....$25.99 / 375ml
THE STORY:  John Wilkinson was telling his friend Steve Matthiasson how much he loved Matthiasson Vermouth, a sweet elixir made from the (white) Flora wine grape. Steve makes only a few hundred cases every two years, as there are only 10 or so acres of this varietal in all of California.
Steve was immediately on board and wanted to make a cherry vermouth with wine grapes that evoke dark cherry flavors like Petit Sirah and Merlot. He suggested we add fresh Tartarian cherries.
Thus the inspiration to create a new sweet vermouth to pair perfectly with our style of whiskeys. (One we could make more than a few hundred cases!)
Partner Vermouth’s unique complexity comes from Steve’s knowledge of aromatic bitters and his ability to blend, taste, and tweak over and over until it's perfect. Enjoy Partner in your favorite cocktail, neat as a digestive, over ice...

THE WINE:   Partner Vermouth hearkens to an earlier America when alcohol and medicine were one and the same. Whiskey and vermouth cured all.
Vermouth is wine infused with botanicals. This marriage of flavors dates back to the origins of wine itself. The Caesars and Pharaohs of the ancient world had their own royal recipes, as well as the common folks on their farms…families throughout history added herbs and spices to their local wine, both for flavor and for health. Vermouth has always been considered medicinal as well as delicious, and we are continuing the tradition.
A blend of Merlot and Petite Sirah, heightened it with fresh Tartarian cherries from Lodi California, and exotic spices from around the world. We made grape spirit infusions of spices such as Smoked Black Cardamom, Star Anise, Indian Coriander, Chinchona bark, and Wormwood.

THE PROFILE:  Smokey and exotic on the nose, fruity on the palate, with a long finish that cleans up with the bitter herbs, Partner Vermouth works in a cocktail, on ice, or simply neat.  Cocktail’s Essential Partner

"The 2015 Chianti Classico is a bold, juicy wine. Black cherry, lavender and expressive spice provide much of its exotic, alluring personality. Lush and racy, but with vibrant fruit and tons of Sangiovese structure, the 2015 is a winner."

Noon Eclipse Red Blend

2014 Noon Eclipse Red Blend....$71.99
Since 2012, Eclipse has been produced exclusively from estate-grown McLaren Vale fruit. The 2014 Eclipse is a blend of 85% Grenache, 8% Shiraz and 7% Graciano, aged almost entirely in used oak. Aromas of spiced strawberries and raspberries are inviting and complex, hinting at white pepper, cardamom and allspice. It's full-bodied yet seems almost weightless, buoyed by high-toned fruit and bright acids, while fine-grained, silky-textured tannins give shape and focus to the palate and add a savory edge on the long finish.

Odell Sunny Rain Golden Tart

Odell Sunny Rain Golden Tart...$13.99 / 6pk cans
Common to the high elevations of the Rocky Mountains, Sunny Rain is the unexpected shower from a cloudless sky. In that juxtaposition, we found inspiration. For this limited release, we introduced bright hop aroma to balance a tart citrus-like character. It’s as unlikely as rain on a clear summer day and it makes for a surprising, yet very drinkable beer.

OTRA VEZ LIME & AGAVE

A well-balanced, tart, and refreshing ale.
We combined the classic flavors of lime and blue agave nectar in a tart gose-style beer for the ultimate answer to the heavy heat of the day. The bright lime flavor helps wake up the palate while the mild sweetness of the agave rounds out the tangy zip of the citrus fruit. Light and refreshing, this all-new Otra Vez will have you calling for another round.

2018 Boulevard Saison Brett

2018 Boulevard Saison Brett....$11.99 / 750ml

Saison Brett, based on our very popular Tank 7, is assertively dry-hopped, then bottle conditioned with various yeasts, including Brettanomyces, a wild strain that imparts a distinctive earthy quality. Though this farmhouse ale was given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the “Brett” character, if that's what you're after.

Imperial Stout Brewed with Coconut and Vanilla


Coconut Vanilla Stout. It’s about to get really hot outside. How about a cold glass of refreshing Imperial Stout. Yep, you heard that right. Brand new to our line up is Prairie Paradise. We took a stout, gave it a hint of vanilla and a good deal of toasted coconut and created one season defying, genre bending brew. Imperial stouts are usually thought of as a cold weather beer, but here the coconut and vanilla blend push the image of the stout into a year round, all season style.
