The heavily peated malt for this new dram has been created from harvests brought home from three Islay farms, by Raymond and his farming colleagues Neil Mclellan and Raymond Fletcher.

Amazing 2016 Chateau Meyney
Early on in my wine career I was lucky enough to sit in with an established tasting group that focused on Bordeaux. Over the course of 4 or 5 years amazing bottles were shared and debated over for a few hours every Saturday afternoon. I learned quite a bit in that time about how a wine ages, how to assess its character and flavor profile and how to taste wine without worrying about the cost or score, just to focus on the flavor and the enjoyment. But what I learned most from that group is that Chateau Meyney always over delivers, it was a given if we were drinking Medoc wines, someone would bring a Meyney and it would always show well. Do not hesitate to grab up some of the 2016 Chateau Meyney we have left, as always it will over deliver now and in the future.
-Aaron Zwicker Wine Buyer at Forsyth
2016 Chateau Meyney St. Estephe....$38.99
The 2016 Meyney is a bold, powerful wine. Tobacco, menthol, chocolate, spice and torrefaction notes all add shades of darkness. Meyney is potent and quite broad in feel, and yet everything is very nicely balanced. Although not especially subtle, Meyney delivers the goods, and then some

Prat Sura Vacqueyras La Cuvee
We taste a lot of wines, and most do not make the cut. We recently tasted a bunch of new wines, this one stood out as the best of the lot! Great bottle!!
2016 Prat Sura Vacqueyras La Cuvee...$34.99
Based on 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, the 2016 Vacqueyras La Cuvée is another inky colored effort that has a modern slant yet is beautifully done. Blackberries, cassis, roasted herbs, chocolate, and gravelly mineral notes all emerge from this rockingly textured, balanced, full-bodied effort. It's more rounded and sexier than the Réserve cuvée yet should keep just as long.

FID Street Hawaiian Gin
FID Street Hawaiian Gin...$29.99
Bridging the gap between old English and American craft gin styles, Fid Street Gin is the first gin ever created on Maui and only the second in Hawai'i since prohibition. Reminiscent of a London Dry, it is crafted with eleven botanicals and Hawaiian fruit, and distilled in unique glass stills. Fid Street Gin exhibits a very clean and aromatic fresh cut floral and citrus bouquet with a hint of forest air.
The Backstory: In the 19th Century, the arrival of English ships in Honolulu Harbor led to a strong Victorian influence. Named after a sailor’s word for “drink”, “Fid” Street, now known as lower Nu’uanu Avenue in Honolulu, became the place where the thirsty and sea-weary reveled.
Fid Street Gin pays homage to this history by marrying the typical components of a London Dry gin with unique local Hawaiian ingredients.

CHICAGO'S FIRST DISTILLERY SINCE THE MID-1800s
Established in 2008, KOVAL produces organic whiskey, liqueurs and specialty spirits in Chicago's first distillery since the mid-1800s. Founders Robert and Sonat Birnecker, chose to leave their academic careers to bring the distilling traditions of Robert’s Austrian family to America. In making this decision, they vowed to make organic spirits from scratch (avoiding the common industry practice of purchasing and bottling pre-made spirits) and to change the way people understand whiskey by creating a new, signature style - using only the “heart” cut of the distillate - affording a brighter, cleaner take on whiskey.
Embracing the grain-to-bottle mentality, each step of the spirit-making process is thoughtfully monitored: beginning with contracting local farmers to grow the grain, to on-site milling and mashing, to finally distilling, bottling, and packaging. After numerous international awards and Robert at the helm of consulting for the burgeoning craft industry, KOVAL has grown to be one of America’s leading small batch, independent spirit manufacturers.

Lopez de Heredia - White wines!
Some amazing whites with some age!
2006 Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva White...$42.99
One of two vintages I tasted of the white from the Viña Tondonia, the 2006 Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva is from a warm and ripe year, but the wine doesn't show heat. It feels a little riper than the 2007 I tasted next to it. It has more depth and complexity than the Gravonia, with the aromatic profile closer to a white Hermitage than any other white I can think of. The palate is bone dry, with some austerity and pungent flavors, where the flavors include lemon peel, beeswax, herbal tea and dry hay. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2015.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate
A very impressive delivery of fruit here. Incredible clarity and purity of papaya and peaches with peach blossom and almond blossom in the mix. The palate has a very sleek, fine, pure and fresh line of mouthwatering acidity and supple, fleshy dried peach and lemon. Assertive but silky. The length is impressive. Drink now.
Rated 96/100 James Suckling
2009 Lopez de Heredia Vina Gravonia White...$27.99
This white is rich and expressive, a fine example of the traditional style. Bold flavors of quince, dried pineapple, lemon confit and vanilla mingle in a polished texture, supported by firm acidity and fine tannins. Balanced and long. Drink now through 2029. 1,791 cases made, 600 cases imported.

This white is rich and expressive, a fine example of the traditional style. Bold flavors of quince, dried pineapple, lemon confit and vanilla mingle in a polished texture, supported by firm acidity and fine tannins. Balanced and long. Drink now through 2029. 1,791 cases made, 600 cases imported.
