Belvedere Vodka Heritage 176






Belvedere Vodka Heritage 176...$29.99
Compare to $31.99 at Total Wine and More
A Taste of Vodka's Past - A New Spirit From Belvedere's Master Rye Distillers.
With Belvedere Heritage 176 (2020 Ultimate Spirits Challenge - Finalist - 94 Points), Belvedere’s Master Rye Distillers apply fire to the rye before distillation, to further demonstrate its potential for nuanced taste. Belvedere Heritage 176 is quite simply a taste of vodka’s past. Up until the 19th century, Polish vodka-makers relied on the old technique of ‘malting’, using fire-kilned drying —a tradition which also naturally revealed rich and distinctive flavors. Over time, as the vodka category expanded, and technology evolved, these old traditions sadly faded out, and vodka became more associated with neutrality.

Belvedere challenges neutrality and believes that rye, the heart of our brand, delivers both distinctive taste and character. To demonstrate this further, Belvedere has revived this traditional malting technique which unlocks rich depth, flavor and complexity that would otherwise remain hidden in the rye. Rich, full-bodied and complex, with hints of honey, walnut and allspice, Heritage 176 is best savored over ice with a lemon twist. Discover the taste of vodka’s past.

Pipeworks More Melon Pale Ale







Pipeworks More Melon Pale Ale...$12.99 / 4pk 16oz cans

More Melon | Pale ale with Watermelon Juice, Mosaic Hops and Huell Melon Hops 
5.5% ABV 

What could be better than a perfectly ripe watermelon at the end of summer? Maybe only... More?

This is an easy drinking pale ale for the season when you don't quite need a sweatshirt... but you take one with you just in case. We brewed this Pale ale with Huell Melon hops that have an incredible cantaloupe aroma and flavor, and Mosaic hops that really bring the freshly picked blueberry aromas. We added gallons of watermelon juice, and the result is simple refreshment.

2019 Bevan Dry Stack Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Bennet Valley...$37.99

You can smell orange blossoms as soon as you have the cork out of the bottle. Honeysuckle shows itself almost instantly, with hints of ripe grapefruit.


2018 Bevan Ritchie Vineyards Chardonnay Russian River Valley...$68.99
Guava, Meyer lemon, kiwi and blood orange fight for your attention. The nose is explosive and true to the wine’s deep flavor profile. Massive, but completely refined, this is as pure an expression of this vineyard as we have ever produced.


2018 Bevan Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast...$78.99
The Calera clone, with its deep raspberry and meaty, earthy core, dominates. Silky and plush with a long finish, this is a wine that demands your full attention. It is incredibly polished, with no hard edges, but has a lively energy that keeps it vibrant.


2017 Bevan Ontogeny Red Wine Napa Valley...$94.99
In 2017, we used more Tench and Sugarloaf than ever before to make sure that Ontogeny had the richness and depth that it has become known for. Sugarloaf Mountain Cabernet Franc was perfect for this, lending a beautiful blueberry and tobacco base. From there, we used Tench Cabernet Sauvignon for power, a kiss of Wildfoote for exuberance and a barrel of Sentinel Ridge for a little mountain tannin.
Cassis, black olives, tobacco, chocolate, toasted spice, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2017 Ontogeny, a more rounded, plush, sexy wine that nevertheless packs ample muscle, depth, and richness. It's a beautifully balanced, silky, awesome wine as well as a killer value.
Rated 97/100 Jeb Dunnuck


2017 Bevan Tench Vineyard EE Proprietary Red...$226.99
65% Cabernet, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, and the blend gives us another layer of complexity and sophistication. This wine is suave and dapper… think Mr. Darcy in a bottle.
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc from the redder iron soils in the center of the vineyard, the 2017 Tench Vineyard EE Red Wine is another incredible wine in this lineup. Deep purple/black-colored, with mineral-drenched notes of blackcurrants, ground herbs, earth, graphite, and crushed rocks, it has an “iron fist in a velvet glove” style on the palate, loads of tannins, good acidity, and a big finish.
Rated 98/100 Jeb Dunnuck

2017 Bevan Tench Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville....$226.99
From the rockiest parts of the vineyard right along the road, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard offers that classic Tench iron and marine hints as well as fabulous crème de cassis, nori, ground herbs, graphite, and crushed rocks. Deep, powerful and structured, yet with polished tannins, it's another beautiful, deep, textured wine from this estate.

The Balvenie 21 Year Old Portwood



The Balvenie 21 Year Old Portwood Single Malt Scotch....$229.99
compare to $249.99 at Total Wine and More
To create The Balvenie PortWood 21 year old single malt whisky, a marriage of rare Balvenie is transferred to port casks, or pipes, which have held fine port wines.

Considered by many to be David’s finest creation, this whisky is one of his proudest achievements and has won an array of highly coveted industry awards since its release in 1996.

Failla Occidental Ridge Pinot Noir




We are very excited to have a couple of cases of the Failla Occidental Ridge Pinot Noir. Wines from this very special vineyard are hard to come by, only Failla and Rivers-Marie source fruit from Occidental Ridge and usually these wines are soaked up by restaurants around the country. Only 23 bottles available (we have to try a bottle).

2018 Failla Occidental Ridge Pinot Noir....$79.99
he 2018 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard is a magnificent, head spinning wine. Inky dark fruit, violet, plum, licorice, hard candy, mint and sweet spice give the 2018 striking aromatic nuance, but it is the wine’s mid-palate depth and unctuous richness that stand out most. Even with all of its overtness and plushness, the 2018 remains light on its fee. That, in essence, is the magic of the Sonoma Coast – the way on which the wines feel ripe but not heavy. Wow. What a wine.

  • Re-O-rnged Citrus IPA
  • Day Pass IPA



Info on a few of the beers
Warbeard Irish Red
There is a caramel and toffee-like sweetness when you first taste this beer, which slowly fades into a slight dryness in the finish. Holding it up to the light, deep ruby highlights emerge, revealing the origins of its name. This is a smooth, malt-focused beer that's almost too easy to drink. It makes you want to come back for more, and low enough in alcohol to allow it.

Teter Rock - Kösch Style Ale
This is a very light beer with a mild aroma arising from the use of Pilsner malt and noble Czech Saaz hops. It is a clean, refreshing, delicately balanced beer with subtle malt and fruit characters that finishes with a slight, but refreshing tartness. This beer is a great, non-threatening introduction to craft beer for those who are used to more traditional light American beers.
