New Rosé Arrivals!

It is Rosé time, and we are getting in fresh 2021's weekly! It looks like the sun will come out tomorrow, and it will be a perfect day for these Springtime sippers. Come in to Kirkwood to see our ever-growing selection! These hit the shelves this week:

2021 Routas Varios En Provence Rosé...$15.99 750ml or $31.99/1.5L Magnum

We don't get too many big bottles of Provence Rosé!

Freshly cut watermelon, ripe peach aromas and floral notes lead to a palate alive with wild strawberries and hints of mineral notes. Crisp acidity and a refreshing finish. Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon

Rated 91/100 James Suckling

2021 Pali Wine Co. "Wild Series" Rosé of Pinot Noir...$19.99

The best rose is crisp, clean, and refreshing- a thirst quenching treat appropriate 365 days of the year! It wasn't until we planted our estate vineyard and received our first crop in 2015 that we were afforded the opportunity to make whole-cluster rose of Pinot Noir which is by far the superior method of making rose. Today, our "Wild Series" Rose of Pinot Noir is made from sustainably farmed Pinot Noir grapes grown on Pali Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills. It is made using only wild, naturally occuring yeasts and is unfined and unfiltered.

Pearly pink with aromas of nectarine and rose petal bursts, paired with subtle strawberry, grassy freshness, and salty stone fruit.--Winery Notes

2021 Les Lauzeraies Tavel Rosé...$17.99

Tavel is the Rhône Valley’s rosé-only appellation. These wines have nice grip and body so they can be drunk year-round and even benefiting from aging. Make no mistake however, this is still Rosé, meant to be chilled and enjoyed with a wide range of meals; it’s a great pick for Thanksgiving! A Grenache dominant blend of numerous grapes (including the white varieties Clairette and Picpoul), this wine undergoes a longer maceration than most rosé, up to 48 hours, which brings out that deeper character and color. Displaying a generous mouthfeel, excellent purity, lovely florals (violets, roses) and a light spice note, Les Lauzeraies shows great versatility and range. --Importer's Notes

Black Grenache (50%, softness and high aromatic potential) - Mourvèdre, old Carignans and Syrah (17%, color,spicy aromas and fullness) - Clairette (6%, floral aromas) - Picpoul and Bourboulenc (7%, flower aromas and liveliness) - Cinsault (20%, delicacy) - (15% and structure).

Intriguing Italian Wines

Kirkwood just got in some new arrivals and reloaded on a couple favorites! Great QPR on all of them!

2019 Borgo Palianetto Verdicchio...$21.99 -- New Vintage! This is DELICIOUS

The 2019 Verdicchio di Matelica Vertis stops you in your tracks, pulling you close with its nuanced bouquet of incense, chamomile and dried flowers. Coaxing unlocks further depths of ripe apple, ginger and hints of vanilla. This 2019 is deeply textural and medium-bodied, communicating importance through its weighty presence; yet all is kept perfectly in place by a mix of vibrant acids and salty minerals. There’s a youthful density here that will require time to unwind, with a blend of white stone fruits, sometimes melon and sometimes lime, and all under an air of tropical florals. This tapers off remarkably long and staining - yet fresh. This is Vertis at its best, but it will require a few years of cellaring to fully blossom. That said, it will be worth the wait. Rated 93/100 Vinous Media

2019 Monte del Fra Custoza Bianco...$18.99 - Just Arrived!

This elegant white is lightly mouthwatering with its citrusy acidity, offering a finely meshed range of white cherry, blood orange sorbet, lemon thyme and salty mineral notes, followed by a lingering, lightly spiced finish. Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Cortese and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2024. 7,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported. — AN 

Rated 90/100 Wine Spectator, #59 WOTY 2021! Also Rated 92/100 James Suckling

2017 Castorani Montepulciano d'Abruzzo...$13.99 - Just Arrived!

Lots of clean, fresh black-fruit character to this. Medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins but the fruit persists through the finish. Drink or hold. Rated 91/100 James Suckling

2015 Vite Colte Barolo Essenze...$34.99 - Perennial Best Buy!

Sumptuous cherry and raspberry nose. Rich and voluptuous, with fine concentration and explosive fruit. Ripe but not jammy, with plenty of spice and vigour; forward but has sufficient structure to age. One for the hedonists! Rated 97/100 Decanter, 93/100 James Suckling

Stone Brewing Triple IPA!

 

Stone RuinTen Triple IPA...$15.99 / 6pk cans
A stage dive into a mosh pit of hops
STYLE Triple IPA
ABV 10.8%
IBUs  110

Brewed in 2012 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the first full-time brewed & bottled West Coast style Double IPA on the planet — Stone Ruination IPA. It was a thrill to pay homage to a beer already well known for its off-the-charts levels of bitter hoppiness by amping it up even further, and our brewers rose to that challenge. Now ten years later, fans are still clamoring for this beautifully bitter beer. So in honor of those who voted to bring this 10.8% monster back, may this ‘stage dive into a mosh pit of hops’ be every bit as gloriously ruinous as ever.

Stone Brewing first came to St. Louis back in 11 years ago this month - April 2011

It was April when he did a kick off party at our store.   This is a picture I took of Greg Koch founder of Stone at a tasting when he came into town.  

I still have a few bottles from the release party and autograph signing he did at our store.  The Stone IPA bottle has the special "Hey St. Louis" label!!!

I wonder how a 11 year old Stone IPA tastes?

American Light Whiskey is making a huge comeback....
Penelope made one, but it is super allocated and will be in our February raffle....we are excited to offer Bespoken American Light Whiskey

What is Light Whiskey?
By definition, light whiskey had to be distilled to at least 160 proof, though it was typically distilled as high as 190 proof, Bourbon, by contrast, usually enters the barrel in the 100- to 125-proof range and legally can never be distilled higher than 160 and aged in used or uncharred new oak containers, where Bourbon is aged in charred barrels

Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey...on sale..$15.99 / 375ml

Regular price $31.99

50% ABV
Distilled at a higher proof, our American Light whiskey is lighter in color and harshness. The result is a spirit with a brilliant golden color and a smooth finish. On the nose, notes of butterscotch, marzipan, honey-infused mocha, and black tea dominate, with rich cinnamon sugar on the palate and a compelling finish of cacao nib and winter spices.

Starting with cedar and resin, scents of dried apricot and walnut soon follow on the nose. The entry is opulent for a 100-proof whiskey, with high-toned notes of orange peel covered in dark chocolate, black pepper, and apricot nectar. Cedar threads down a path laden with peach preserves and honeyed chamomile

Bitburger / Deschutes Dry Hop’d Zwickl

Deschutes Brewery!
In 1988, Gary Fish established a small brewpub in downtown Bend, Oregon and named it after the iconic waterway flowing through town, the Deschutes River (pronounced da shootz). With a belief that good beer brings people together, Gary founded The Deschutes Brewery & Public House as just that – a home for the public. A community gathering place, where friends, family and strangers could come together over some great food and a house-brewed pint of beer.

In its first year, the public house sold 310 barrels of beer. Today, the brewery sells more than 225,000 barrels of beer each year

A passion for brewing can bring people together, and that’s exactly why we have partnered with our friends at Deschutes Brewery to a brew a full-flavored, unfiltered Zwickl beer. This unique brew is made out of Bitburger Siegelhopfen, Bitburger’s unique proprietary hop blend from the Eifel National Park; and the aromatic American Citra and Mosaic hops, which are grown in Yakima in the United States. Together, they give Bitburger Dry Hop’d Zwickl its fruity and hop forward flavor profile. Friendship at its finest!
Bitburger Dry Hop’d Zwickl has a fruity and hoppy flavor profile. The beer is copper-colored and features an elegant gleam and accompanied by a light, creamy white foam. Hopped no fewer than three times in Bitburg, Germany, and perfected with the special Citra and Mosaic hop varieties grown in the Yakima region in the United States, this Zwickl tastes of ripe apricot, peach, and lime. Fruity and full-flavored at the tip of the tongue, the beer boasts a balanced composition of harmoniously integrated hop notes and a pleasant bitter finish. Our fruity and hoppy Bitburger Dry Hop’d Zwickl has an alcohol content of 4.9% ABV.

Grand Army Farms DUCK Eggs...$7.99 / dozen

Prepare just like chicken eggs! Fried, poached, scrambled, omelets....use in baking...

Duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs, with a larger yolk-to-white ratio that makes them ideal for baked goods. Golden in color and rich in flavor, baked goods made with duck eggs tend to be moist and fluffy, rise better, and hold their shape well. Duck eggs are preferred over chicken eggs for cream and custard fillings because they contain less water and more fat.
You can cook duck eggs just like chicken eggs and will find that they have a creamier, richer taste. Some people prefer them deviled or in omelets or quiches, as they have a stronger flavor than chicken eggs when eaten plain.
Health Benefits
However you serve them, duck eggs are an excellent source of nutrition. Their dark yellow yolk indicates that they hold more antioxidants, more omega-3 fatty acids, and 50% more vitamin A than chicken eggs.

Build Muscle
Duck eggs offer more protein than chicken eggs, even taking size into consideration. Protein can help you build lean muscle, maintain a healthy weight, and recover after exercise or injury. - -WebMD
