Perennial Prodigal Imperial Oatmeal Stout





Perennial Prodigal Imperial Oatmeal Stout....$5.99 / pint can
We scored some more cases today!!
Prodigal is an imperial oatmeal milk stout with a massive fudge and roast malt character. It’s a foundation for some of our favorite stouts, now here to stand on its own adorned with only a handful of cacao nibs and Madagascar vanilla beans to round out the edges.

New Belgium Err on the Side of Awesome



In stock at Forsyth and limited!
New Belgium Err on the Side of Awesome...$12.99 / 375ml
Dark and Golden Sour with Cherries
This collaboration with our long-time friends and world-class sour producers, The Rare Barrel, is full of complex and risky adventure. We took a portion of our dark sour, Oscar, blended it with kriek lambic, matured it in our original 17 wine barrels that began our sour program, then blended in our golden sour, Felix, before corking and bottle conditioning for several months.

97 Point CDP!!!

Rare - only 125 cases imported!!

2016 Rotem & Mounir Saouma  Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Omnia"...$99.98
Sublime, with a beguiling mouthfeel to the layers of cherry puree, steeped plum and warmed raspberry coulis fruit flavors, melded with rooibos tea, bergamot, incense and jasmine notes. The long finish features subtle minerality and remarkable persistence, seeming to move with grace. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2021 through 2045.
125 cases imported.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Spectator

You absolutely must try this Chateauneuf-du-Pape made by a Lebanese winemaker who also is a top-tier Burgundy negociant.
Wait...what?
Admittedly, this is not much of a sales pitch. But, let me explain:
Mounir Saouma and his wife, Rotem, moved to France in 1995. Mounir wanted to be winemaker in Burgundy, but his unique style of winemaking made it hard for him to find permanent residence. So, he started a micro-negociant under the name "Lucien le Moine". He purchased newly fermented wines, then raised them and bottled them. His Premier Cru and Grand Cru cuvees are generally less than 75 case lots, and they are among the most sought after in the area.

Saouma eventually wanted to purchase his own property, but since that is nearly impossible to do in Burgundy, he set his sights on the Rhone Valley. Much like his highly regarded Burgundies from Lucien le Moine, Mounir's Chateauneufs are made with the utmost care and precision, hence the miniscule production. We were able to score 5 of the 125 cases imported to the US.

This wine is an incredible wine with great depth and complexity. A true standout. Don't sleep on it!


Craigellachie 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch




Craigellachie 17 Year Old Single Malt Scotch...$119.99
What does Craigellachie mean?
It means 'ROCKY HILL'. Because it's a hill and it's rocky.
Persistent aren't we? You and our late co-founder Peter Mackie have something in common.
Even when styles changed and the other distilleries moved on, he dug his heels into the craggy Craigellachie rock. Steadfastly using worm tubs to add sulphurous ballast to the dram - they called him 'old fashioned' even in 1891. Ol' Mackie and his cat may have passed, but the Craigellachie method isn't going anywhere.

Tasting Notes: This youthful red offers aromas of strawberry, blackberry and cherry with light mineral and licorice notes, soft tannins, and a long, fresh finish. Serve With: Soft and fruity enough to be enjoyed on its own, this versatile red is also excellent with tapas and a wide range of red meats.

2016 Vina Robles Cabernet Sauvignon...$17.99
This bottling exhibits the richness that's made Paso Robles famous, yet at a price point that's great for frequent indulgence. Inky in the glass, the bottling's lush nose offers concentrated black cherry, caramel, cocoa and coffee. It's soft and smooth on the palate, where the black-cherry compote flavors are lifted by star anise and clove.

Vinestral Rioja Reserva




"at 17 bucks it's a total steal." -- Jeb Dunnuck
At our price of $16 - it is even better!






2009 Vinestral Rioja Reserva...$15.99
A solid step up over the 2011, the 2009 Reserva checks in as a 100% Tempranillo that spent three years in 60% American and 40% French oak. It offers classic notes of black cherries, vanilla, cedary spice, and tobacco, medium-bodied richness, elegant, fine tannin, beautiful balance, and a great finish. There’s roughly 2,000 cases out there, and at 17 bucks it's a total steal.
Rated 91/100 Jeb Dunnuck

Tenshen red and white blends!


We have an amazing price on what will soon become your go to Summer White Blend.
2016 Tenshen White Blend $15.98 
(compare to Total Wine and More $17.99)
The 2016 White Wine from Tenshen is made from a blend of Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay sourced from sites throughout the Central Coast. Brought up mostly in neutral barrels, with a small part in stainless, it offers rich, full-bodied aromas and flavors of buttered peach, tangerine, honeysuckle and flowers. Richly textured, balanced and with a clean, dry finish, it’s a terrific white Rhône blend readers should check out.
Rated 92/100 Jeb Dunnuck



Joey Tenseley has a deft hand with Red Blends from the Central Coast, this 2017 Tenshen may be his best effort to date. Perfect for your summer BBQ!
2017 Tenshen Red Blend...$17.98 
(Compare to Total Wine and More $19.99)
Black cherry, cola, root beer and roasted plums make for a very approachable and yet complex nose on this well-priced blend. The palate is also easy to like and not overly complicated, but carries quite a bit of intrigue with flavors of black cherry and smoked sagebrush.
Rated 91/100 The Wine Enthusiast

Jack Daniels Legacy Bottling #2 Edition


First and second edition are both in stock now!!





Jack Daniels Legacy Bottling #2 Edition...$22.99 / 750ml
43% ABV
Our second bottling in the limited edition legacy series is reminiscent of an early 1900s era design.  Its anchor and rope crest and black background speak to the quiet confidence and character of the Tennessee whiskey that rests within.










Jack Daniels Legacy Bottling #1...$22.99 / 750ml
43% ABV (not 40% like the black label)
HERE'S TO COLORFUL BEGINNINGS
Jack Daniel’s is known for being a well-crafted, smooth sippin’ Tennessee Whiskey. You don’t last for over 150 years if you’re not a quality product, after all. We’ve become known for something else along the way too: our iconic black and white label. But what people may not know is that the history of our label wasn’t always so black and white.
Some time before 1904 our bottles were a rather unexpected shade of green with an eye-catching gold trim. And as unusual as that may seem, it’s just one of the many labels in Old No. 7’s past. You have to be patient to make whiskey, and it seems that Jack took his time landing on the tried-and-true black label we know today. This is the first in our series of Legacy Edition Bottles. Each label we release will celebrate the unique, slightly mysterious history of Old No. 7.

Mancino Vermouth Vecchio...$179.99 / liter
The first aged Italian Vermouth, dark tawny brown, year aged oak aroma, cherry, honey, raisons, quinne, orange zest and liquorice.

Starting its life as the Mancino Rosso Amaranto, this extraordinary vermouth, has been resting in a single Italian Oak barrel for one year, making it the first aged, sweet vermouth.
Its character has gained strengths of old wood, time and additional spice, thus, demanding a little more respect. It has developed a richer, nutty and fruitier nose, with essences of Cherry, Honey, Raisons, dark chocolate and Vanilla. Not losing its original palate, but expanding in flavour and substance, the Mancino Vecchio will deliver a burst of a deeper bitter sweet, aged experience. Treat it as you would an old gentleman

The Balvenie 14 Year Old Week of Peat Single Malt





The Balvenie 14 Year Old Week of Peat Single Malt...$89.99
Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, distillery manager Ian Millar ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln. For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness.
