Billecart Salmon Champagne is back!

These have been very tough to get lately. There wasn't much to go around, but we took everything we could! We are getting large and small formats next week, along with some vintage bubbly as well. In the mean time, grab a bottle or two of the 750ml.

Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve...$59.99/750ml
The Brut Réserve is a light, fine and harmonious champagne. It is made up of a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from three different years and sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region.--winery notes

Based on the 2015 vintage and disgorged with nine grams per liter dosage, the latest release of Billecart's NV Brut Réserve contains fully 55% reserve wines and is showing very well, offering up complex aromas of warm bread, crisp green orchard fruit and citrus oil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and charming but lively, with an elegantly textural attack, a fleshy core of fruit and lively balancing acids. Rated 90/100 Wine Advocate

A well-knit Champagne with a citrusy, orange peel overtone and a lithe backbone of acidity enlivening flavors of cherry and apricot fruit, grated ginger, pastry and minerally saline. Creamy finish. Drink now through 2023. Rated 91/100 Wine Spectator

Billecart Salmon Brut Rose...$97.99/750ml
The Brut Rosé is a fresh and elegant Rosé Champagne, blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. Radiant color with graceful effervescence, a persistent mousse, and fine bubbles rising slowly in the glass. Subtle and fine aromas leading to an expressive red berry flavor with citrus zest. Creamy and smooth on the palate, evolving to strawberries notes and a raspberry finish. Light, balanced and precise.

A lively rosé Champagne with a pleasing, citrusy juiciness to the flavors of steeped raspberry, white peach and blanched almond. A subtle thread of chalky minerality winds through the finish. Drink now through 2023. Rated 92/100 Wine Spectator

The palest of rosés, this is an elegant, structured wine. Its dryness is balanced by the fine apple and red-currant fruits and the strong sense of minerality. Fragrant and lightly structured, this fine bottling is ready to drink. Rated 92/100 Wine Enthusiast

Rated 92/100 Wine Enthusiast





2020 Medimer Cotes de Thau Piquepoul...$13.99
WINEMAKING: Early morning picking and cold temperature fermentation to preserve freshness. Piquepoul is a grape that needs heat and sunshine to ripen nicely. However it requires cool temperature fermentation to express its crisp and powerful aromatic profile.
TASTING NOTES: It’s important to know that Piquepoul grows in a warm and dry climate, close to the Mediterranean sea. Its aromatic profile shows citrus and grapefruit, which pairs beautifully well with Mediterranean cuisine. The signature of the Piquepoul however is a slight saline minerality on the palate which makes it the perfect seafood match. It is a versatile food wine for everyday. Great on its own enjoying outside on the patio. Enclosed with a screw cap too.
They are considered the largest Thau Basin port, known for its white wines which pair perfectly with oysters is ideal for sipping outside on a terrace.




2020 Sol Real Vinho Verde White...$8.99
SOL REAL VINHO VERDE WHITE is bright and citrusy, due to its natural acidity. With dominant apple and grapefruit aromas and a splash of green, herby notes, SOL REAL brings the fun and the flavor. Produced with Arinto, Trajadura & Loureiro grape varieties and at 9.5% alcohol, this baby is ripe for the picking.




"Jean Foillard is most likely the top estate in Beaujolais today and has been for the past 10 years or so" - Vinous Media

2019 Jean Foillard Beaujolais Villages....$19.99
Lowest price on Wine-Searcher is $24.98
Brilliant violet. Incisive, mineral-accented cherry and black raspberry aromas are complemented by suggestions of pungent flowers and allspice. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavors that deepen slowly and become sweeter with air. The mineral note repeats on a very long, smooth finish shaped by fine-grained, even tannins.
Rated 92/100 Vinous Media

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA

Great price for 19.2oz -- fresh new pack!





Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA...$2.49 / 19.2oz can
What you have here is the only Imperial IPA in America inspired by a bowl of soup and a thrift store football game...

Back in the 90’s, Sam was struck by a cooking show demo teaching viewers how to properly season soup through a process of continuous peppering. As it stewed and simmered, the chef added pepper in small but consistent doses, bringing through a unique bold taste and intense savory notes. If it worked for soup, why not beer?! Inspiration sparked and Sam knew that Dogfish needed to bring this idea of continuous dosing to our hop additions in the brewhouse.

Enter our thrift store electric football game. If rigged at just the right angle over the brew kettle, and covered with hops instead of small dancing football players, the vibrating playing field would perfectly shake and shimmy the hops cascading down into the boiling wort at a consistent rate. Continual hopping was born!

Continual hopping provided a beautiful balance to our Imperial IPA - allowing us to add a foolhardy amount of hops throughout the boil without making 90 Minute crushingly bitter. With rich pine and fruity citrus hop aromas and a strong malt backbone, 90 Minute IPA created pungent, unapologetic flavor that led Esquire to call it “perhaps the best IPA in America.”

Stone Buenaveza Salt and Lime Lager





Stone Brewing Buenaveza Salt and Lime Lager....$8.99 / 6pk 
Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager was born here in Southern California, which is vibrantly influenced by our neighbors to the south. SoCal's warm weather lends itself to outdoor activities year-round. From surfing our coasts, to snowboarding and biking in the mountains, off-roading through deserted lands, or boating and fishing in our lakes and rivers, this Baja-inspired lager is the perfect companion. Brewed with just the right amount of lime and sea salt, it’s everything a lager should be – crisp, refreshing and full of flavor.
The name is pretty simple: we took “Buena” for good and “-veza” from cerveza. Because we’ve always believed good cerveza is an important part of a buena life.

4 Hands Tiger's Blood Hard Seltzer

Very popular last year!!

4 Hands Tiger's Blood Hard Seltzer...$9.99 / 16oz cans

Tiger’s Blood! A throwback to the sweet, messy, melty snow cone. Tiger’s Blood is a blend of vivid strawberry and watermelon with a kiss of coconut.

Rockwell Brewing Crisp Chinos Rice Lager

The popular Crisp Chinos are back!




Rockwell Brewing Crisp Chinos Rice Lager...$9.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
Rice lager
50,000 crispy fans can’t be wrong
We went hard on the Jasmine rice to craft this smooth and crispy crusher. We think you’ll love it as much as we do. Try it with a lime. For real. Trust us. We wouldn’t lie to you.
ABV: 5.2%

2nd Shift Brewing El Gato Grande IPA



Fresh batch in stock now!

2nd Shift Brewing El Gato Grande IPA....$11.99 / 4pk 16oz CANS

7.6%

Here's a big hoppy IPA that is done the way they shold be done and has about four truck loads of hops in it, although it's not very bitter at 62 IBUs. LOTS of Amarillo with a good bit of Citra and Columbus just for a good time.

Left Hand Brewing Key Lime Pie Nitro









Left Hand Brewing Key Lime Pie Nitro...$11.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
Super smooth and silky with tart lime & vanilla.
Key Lime Pie Nitro is as tart and tropical as the mouth-watering dessert it’s named for. This sour ale combines the puckering brightness of real lime juice and lime peel with creamy lactose richness. Our blend of malts is enhanced by vanilla and cinnamon, providing a layer of flavor reminiscent of graham cracker crust. This velvety, citrusy sour is then finished off with the addition of nitrogen. As you watch all the tiny Nitro bubbles cascade into your glass, the pillowy head tops off your experience like a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Each sip mimics a spoonful of Key Lime Pie, and we bet you can't have just one slice.

2021 Peyrassol La Croix Rose...$15.99

2021 Casas del Bosque - Pinot Noir ROSE...$13.99
Chile
This single vineyard Rosé is made with Pinot Noir grapes planted on the coolest, westernmost reaches of Casablanca Valley.
A very pale hue of pink. Delicately fruity with hints of strawberries, rose petals and rhubarb. Bone dry, with ample body and refreshing acidity. Ideally served at 41 – 46ºF with smoked fish, salmon ceviche, fresh goat cheese salad, vegetable tempura or sushi.

2020 Pegau Pink Pegau...$19.99
Sourced from Laurence Féraud’s 100+ acre estate in Sorgues, just 4 miles south of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Pink Pegau boasts an outsized popularity and ardent following in the marketplace. Crisp and aromatic (and a bit cheeky), this bone-dry rosé is loaded with character and offers immense enjoyment both on its own and at the table.
Tasting Notes: Pale pink/salmon in color, with peach, floral and red fruit aromas. Bone dry, with a crisp, mouth-watering acidity leading to a long, spicy, mineral finish.
Serve With: Enjoy as an aperitif, with seafood, or a wide range of lighter fare.

2020 Horgelus Cotes de Gascogne Rose....$13.99
35% Merlot
35% Tannat
30% Cabernet Sauvignon

Horgelus Rose is made from grapes that were picked at night. At night the grapes are cooler and lends itself to a much fresher Rose wine. This Rose has an intense and complex bouquet of sweet strawberries, juicy blackcurrants and ends with a thirst-quenching and dry finish.
Great wine on its own but also goes well with grilled chicken, salmon and fresh salads.


2020 Bargemone Rose Rose Coteaux d'Aix en Provence...$21.99
Bargemone is among the foremost estates of the Coteaux d’Aix appellation of Provence. A benchmark producer of the delicious, dry rosé for which Provence is famous, the Commanderie was founded by Templar knights in the13th century, and is home to a proud viticultural tradition and more than 160 acres of sustainably grown vineyards.
Tasting Notes: Offers classic aromas of wild strawberries and red currants, with a light, floral character and a crisp, bone-dry palate.
Serve With: A rosé of reference, to be enjoyed year-round on its own or with a wide range of lighter fare and Provence-inspired cuisine.


2020 Sol Real Vinho Verde Rose...$8.99
SOL REAL VINHO VERDE ROSE is all about fresh picked strawberries, rhubarb and red currants. The all-about-summer-pink color give way to well-balanced flavors in the mouth that do super well with food. At 10.5% alcohol, this fresh fruity, slightly sparkly rose is a sunny-time must.

WhistlePig Roadstock Rye Whiskey 86 Proof….$69.99
WhistlePig RoadStock Rye was created on the road less traveled and is the first ever All-American barrel double finished rye. In collaboration with Jordan Winery and Firestone Walker Brewery, the epic journey of RoadStock began earlier this year at our 500-acre farm in Shoreham, VT, where we commissioned an 18-wheeler ‘Rolling Rickhouse’, which would make its way from Vermont to California and back on an epic 6,000-mile journey.  Upon completion of the RoadStock Rolling Rickhouse, half of the future RoadStock whiskey was transferred into Bordeaux blend casks from Jordan Winery that would make the full 6000-mile round trip journey providing ample time for the whiskey to steal the nuanced complexity from these incredible casks. The other half of the whiskey would remain in their virgin oak original barrels until we made it to California.   After weaving along the historic Route 66, the RoadStock Rolling Rick House headed north to Firestone Walker Brewing Company in Paso Robles, CA. where the balance of the whiskey was transferred into Firestone’s Imperial Stout, Imperial Blonde Ale and Experimental Ale barrels to finish on the long journey back to Vermont.

Compass Box Vellichor Scotch Whisky

This was going to be in the raffle, but we are told we can get more
order away!

Includes barrels from Macallan, Highland Park and Caol Ila distilleries in the blend


Compass Box Vellichor Scotch Whisky....$429.99
Bottled at 44.6% ABV
Not chill-filtered
Natural colour
Lead Whiskymaker: James Saxon

We combined these Sherry-matured stocks with bold and mature malt whiskies from the Macallan, Highland Park and Caol Ila distilleries. The aroma is highly evocative for anyone with a fondness for books; the taste evolves and intensifies as any good political thriller or historical romance should.

A tribute to the storytelling potential of blended Scotch whisky, and the atmospheres of our favourite book stores.



Compass Box Experimental Grain Whisky...$129.99
Bottled at 46% ABV
Not chill-filtered
Natural colour
Lead Whiskymaker: James Saxon

The majority of Experimental Grain Whisky is comprised of grains from the Cameronbridge and North British distilleries. They bring notes of fudge, vanilla and set honey. On top of this the younger whisky from Loch Lomond layers impressions of pine forests and patchouli oil.

Experimentation abounds throughout Scotland. For those who thought grain whisky was by default light and creamy, think again.
