Yellowstone American Single Malt Whiskey...$44.99
100% Malted Barley
Like any member of our family, Yellowstone American Single Malt Whiskey stems from previously established roots. Nearly everything we’ve perfected across seven generations of distilling presents itself in this bottle. Much like the park for which it’s named, this whiskey is a uniquely American icon. One worthy of revisiting.
108 Proof (54% Alc/Vol)
Aroma: Cereal Malt and honey with a hint of peach blossom
Body: Sweet medium body with notes of honey, pear, stone fruit, and dates
Finish: Notes of oak with hints of cinnamon and English walnuts

Yellowstone Select Bourbon...$35.99
This smooth, well-rounded bourbon features a hand-picked blend of sweet, spicy, and smoky bourbons, each chosen to give this exclusive whiskey a taste that celebrates its deep, family origins.  A delicate fusion of flavors from seventh-generation distillers, this straight bourbon features a handpicked blend of 4- and 7-year-old bourbons, for an exclusive old-fashioned whiskey that honors its deep family origins.

About Limestone Branch Distillery: Steve Beam and his brother Paul Beam opened Limestone Branch Distillery in 2011, with the goal of crafting the finest whiskey in small batches, honoring their long family heritage. With a history of distilling on both sides of their family – Beam and Dant – the brothers are seventh-generation distillers. In 2015, by partnering with Luxco, they brought the Yellowstone brand back to the family, just in time to commemorate the brand’s 105th anniversary. As one of the founding members of the Kentucky Craft Bourbon Trail, Limestone Branch Distillery is located in Lebanon, Ky., in the heart of bourbon country. The distillery is well-known for its handcrafted products, including Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey. Taking home gold medals from both the 2018 SIP Awards and the 2018 San Francisco Spirits Competition, Yellowstone Select dates back to 1872 and is known for its smooth-sipping and time-honored original recipe, featuring leather with hints of citrus and oak on the nose. On the tongue, it’s spicy rye with soft cherries fading to smoked caramel and a memorable finish, rich with brown sugar and Kentucky tradition.

An amazing new "Curacao" liqueur
Locally made!!!
Nobletons Le Bon Liqueur d'Agrumes Orange Liqueur....$26.99
When we met with Demetrius Cain of Nobleton's Distilling House at his distillery about a month ago, he gave us a preview taste of this amazing new liqueur. It is a Satsuma Mandarin orange liqueur that is made from a very old family recipe. He was telling us about his "family crest" which you see on the label-- an alligator with a snake tail. Every one in attendance at the distillery was asking when can we get it! It arrived a few days ago, but just getting it posted now. He was telling how he stuffs the Satsuma Mandarin's in the barrel with the base spirit to age it all together!

Make sure you check out the Le Bon Margarita recipe on the bottle!

Aecht Fastenbier!


 
Aecht Rauchbier Lentbeer...$15.99 / 4pk pint cans
The Original Schlenkerla Lentbeer is an unfiltered smokebeer, brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. Bottom-fermenting yeast gives the reddish brown lentbeer a natural cloudiness. Its smokey aroma is already noticeable in the smell, combined with a fine hoppy note. In the drink the fullbodied, highly drinkable lentbeer shows its strong malty flavour, rounded up with the smokey taste and a light bitterness. Due to the nourishing yeast, the Original Schlenkerla Lentbeer has the "Brotzeit already included" (German word for afternoon snack).
Brewing process:
Different from the Original Schlenkerla Smokebeer, the Schlenkerla Lentbeer is made from a mixture of light (e.g. non smoked) malt and Schlenkerla Smoked Malt. It is brewed in classic copper kettles in a two-decoction mash with hops from Spalt (near Nuremberg) and Hallertau. One week of primary fermentation is being followed by a two month period of lagering in the ancient cellars underneath Bamberg. The lentbeer is being served unfiltered with fine bottom fermenting yeast from the keg and thus preserves its full body and aroma.




Now in CANS!
Aecht Helles Schlenkerla Lagerbier...$14.99 / 4pk 16oz cans

“Schlenkerla Helles” is brewed with fine Bavarian aroma hops from the area around the city of Nürnberg. It's lagered in century old caves underneath the historic Schlenkerla brewery and maltings. Schlenkerla Helles is boiled in the same copper kettles and bottom fermented by the same yeast as the historic Schlenkerla Smokebeer. Its subtle smokiness without using smoke malt makes “Helles Schlenkerla Lager” a unique representative of the classic lager beer style “Bavarian Helles”.

New Red Burgundy! 1st time in Missouri!

 

With its array of celebrated sun-soaked vineyards and captivating sights, the village of Pommard is surrounded by ageless, timeless beauty. At it’s heart, is Château de Pommard, a historic estate established in the early 18th century. The estate’s walled Clos Marey-Monge is a 20 hectare monopole and a UNESCO heritage protected Burgundy climat, cultivating century-old vines. The distinct, but complementary, terroirs are farmed biodynamically, naturally fermented, and aged separately, creating wines of complexity, power and grace.

Château de Pommard's Clos Marey-Monge is a collection of microclimates and soil types. Comprised of seven connected plots, each has a different soil composition essential to growing superior Pinot Noir. Each plot is hand-harvested, fermented, and aged separately. Paul has overseen the final stages of their biodynamic conversion and now the vineyard is fully certified.

Château de Pommard Clos Marey-Monge Grands Esprits...$109.99
A unique single-plot expression within the walled Clos-Marey Monge vineyard, this rich, fleshy red highlights the spice and smoke of Pinot Noir sourced from iron-rich red-clay soils. Black-plum and red-cherry flavors are boldy concentrated, lifted by hints of violet perfume and a firm acidic spine. Anchored by fine-grained but densely packed tannins, the wine should improve through 2030. ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA

2021 Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay






The first load sold fast! One of our favorites every year! 
60 more bottles in stock now!
2021 Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay...$41.99

This has a more reductive and flinty personality with sliced pears, apples, lemons and light cream. White flowers, too. Full-bodied and very agile on the palate, staying calm until the end when it kicks in and runs long. Toasty finish with acid and phenolic structure. Old Wente clone. Goes on for minutes. A wine for aging, but so good already.

Grapes are hand selected crushed and the juice fermented at low temperature. The wine is then refermented in steel vats and undergoes microfiltering before bottling.

From carpaccio to roasts, it is really easy to do justice to this red characterised by a garnet red colour and a slightly wild and spicy bouquet, as well as a hint of vegetal, reminiscent of cut grass. In the mouth, it is well-structured, despite not having an excessive alcohol content, and still relying on a perfect balance of all its components.
