Vina Robles Petit Verdot Huerhuero Vineyard



2016 Vina Robles Petit Verdot Huerhuero Vineyard...$23.99
Compare to $34 at the Winery
Petit Verdot is a Bordeaux variety predominantly used for blending due to its dark color and high tannin contributions in the finished wine. Indeed at Vina Robles, a small percentage of this variety typically finds its way into our Cabernet Sauvignon wines for this purpose. However, we have found the variety exhibits richness and balance without the excessive astringency when grown in our estate vineyards. As such, we singled out a small lot offering from our Huerhuero Vineyard to showcase its exceptional qualities as a standalone wine.

The grapes were handpicked in the cool morning hours and sorted in the vineyard. They were gently crushed and then allowed to ferment in small stainless steel tanks. Various extraction techniques were implemented during the progressive stages of fermentation to enhance fruit flavors and balance mouthfeel. The wine was then transferred into barrels to complete malolactic fermentation and spent 20 months in French oak barrels.

2019 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling





2019 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling...$51.99
The 2019 Polish Hill Riesling boasts hints of baby powder and lime alongside green apple and mint on the nose. It's medium-bodied, with a pristine, almost watery feel on the palate, but it simultaneously delivers fascinating intensity of flavor and tremendous length, with a gentle, softly dusty texture on the finish. It should easily cellar for more than a decade.

Grosset is one of Australia's most famous producers of Riesling and was an early protagonist in the switch to screwcaps, but the winery also turns out outstanding wines from Chardonnay (purchased from the Adelaide Hills) and blended reds. The vineyards are certified organic, and additives (with the exception of sulfur) are strictly verboten. Vineyard manager Mark Groat took me around the vineyards, where under-vine mulching is being used to control weeds and retain soil moisture. Aside from being organic, the entire operation is carbon neutral—a reflection of owner Jeffrey Grosset's commitment to sustainability. Look for a new barrel-aged Riesling bottling in the near future.

Skeptic Gin





 

Skeptic Curious Spirits Gin...$26.99
Featured as one of the Top 100 Spirits in the World by The Wine Enthusiast
At Skeptic, we produce our gin using processes rarely used in the industry. First, we filter our base spirit in the same manner as our vodka for exceptional smoothness and to remove impurities. Next, we soak our unique recipe of FRESH ingredients and botanicals directly in the base spirit for 5 days. Last and most importantly, we cold vacuum distill the infused spirit in our one-of-a-kind, custom-built vacuum column still at below room temperature (approx. 50F); a process which preserves delicate flavors and aromas that are normally cooked out or altered under standard distillation temperatures.

The resulting gin is an award-winning, ultra-smooth, intensely flavorful yet balanced, citrusy and aromatic gin that will elevate any cocktail to new heights. The flavors are a mélange of citrus, fresh fruit, spices and botanicals. So smooth and flavorful, it can be enjoyed neat or in your favorite gin cocktail. So good, USA Spirits Ratings rated it Best In Show (USA) and Gin of the Year with 92 points overall. Skeptic Gin also earned a bronze medal against a fierce field of competitors and well-known brands in Cigar & Spirits magazine's 2018 spirits competition and a Best of Category (Contemporary Gin) title from the American Distilling Institute. Perhaps most impressively, it was listed among the Top 100 Spirits IN THE WORLD by Wine Enthusiast Magazine!
Still skeptical? Taste the difference and become a believer.

A SPECIALLY INFUSED GIN FINISHED IN TEQUILA BARRELS
Ready for a new class of spirit?! Enter: Ginquila!
We guarantee you've never tried anything like this one... Ginquila is inspired by a cocktail called the Cantarito, a Paloma style cocktail served in a clay pot.

But why stop there? Just to make sure this spirit is like nothing you've ever seen, we finished it in Tequila Barrels for a few months!
Just like the rest of our spirits, Ginquila is:
Cold Vacuum Distilled
Naturally Gluten Free
Free of Unnatural Additives
Sugar Free!

So how do we enjoy this crazy concoction? Well, while our list of bespoke Ginquila recipes is still in the making, we recommend it with Grapefruit soda and some fresh lime or just straight up with a lime wedge!
