2020 Alban Vineyards Syrah Patrina



2020 Alban Vineyards Syrah Patrina...$59.99
Still in barrel, the 2020 Syrah Patrina is youthfully lush and hedonistic, the nose loaded with wild berry jam scents and touches of iron, aniseed and orange peel. The stunning palate balances concentration and detail and is supported by powdery tannins and exuberant freshness, offering notable purity and length at this stage. "There was big-time sorting this vintage and a lot of selection before we even picked," John Alban says. The 2020 Patrina is fairly representative of the final wine, having been assembled and racked once. It is due to be bottled in January of 2023 and released in the spring.

Brand new Bourbon Tasting with RD1 Spirits
Friday, June 9th from 4:30 to 6:00pm
At the fabulously appointed (In)famous Bar
Located inside the Wine and Cheese Place
On Forsyth Blvd, in beautiful downtown Clayton

This Friday, we have the folks from RD! Spirits, from Lexington, KY in to taste their
brand, spanking new to St. Louis, range of Kentucky whiskies. We were impressed with their efforts and stoked that we could get them behind the bar pouring their wares.In 1865, the Ashland Distillery was established, the first to obtain a federally registered distillery license, and was assigned 
RD#1
RD1 crafts impressive Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon to celebrate the firsts in our lives – those who were first to create, first to believe, first to remove barriers. Just like the gutsy mavericks who built Lexington’s first registered distillery in the late 1800s, RD1 was started in 2020 by modern-day entrepreneurs who have the spirit to dare, a gift all firsts possess.
RD1 Spirits Kentucky Straight Bourbon...$54.99 / 750ml
This traditional Kentucky Straight Bourbon invites you in with delicious aromas of vanilla wafers and roasted almonds. When sipping, orange flavors are followed by honeyed caramel, herbal tea and peppery oak. A long, warm finish ends dry with a spicy hint of ginger and cinnamon.
GOLD--2023 ASCOT Awards
RD1 Spirits Finished with French Oak...$64.99 / 750ml
A rich mouthfeel with caramel front and center on the palate supported by dark cherries and sweet oak. Finishes with dark chocolate and dries to oak with a touch of smoke.
DOUBLE PLATINUM-2023 ASCOT Awards
RD1 Spirits Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood...$64.99 / 750ml
The best of baking spices – apple cinnamon, nutmeg and light brown sugar – come alive on the nose and are followed by pine, vanilla, peaches and apricots. Flavor galore with spice cake, and ginger snaps in a rich mouthfeel. Try a drop of water to open up hints of herbal black tea, dark berry jam and pineapple pepper. Finish is long and warm, and ends with allspice and sweet oak.
PLATINUM-2023 ASCOT Awards
RD1 Spirits Double Finished in Oak Maple Barrels...$64.99 / 750ml
An undeniable burst of maple and butterscotch on the nose followed by lightly toasted caramel, roasted pecans and paprika. Its flavor boasts a delicate dance of maple goodness and black peppercorn spice. The finish is long, smooth and spicy with a light accent of toasted caramel at the end. Try this in an Old Fashioned but skip the simple syrup and just add more of this bourbon.

Cleveland Spirits Tasting Today at Kirkwood

 It's always fun to taste these out! Going from 4:00-6:00 at the Kirkwood Location


Bridge & Main Wheat Whiskey...$26.99

It’s really all about bringing out the best flavor possible. Bridge & Main starts with a mash bill that uses less corn (just enough to call it Bourbon), a good bit more wheat than some, and only a fraction of the barley. This makes it smoother, more flavorful, and slightly less sweet.

Tasting Notes
Notes of vanilla, apple, and caramel on the nose. Like other wheated bourbons, Bridge & Main is a tad  softer than most. You’ll find notes of oak, apple, nuts, and vanilla that are enhanced due to the toasted oak. The clean and crisp finish is reminiscent of a freshly baked pie crust right out of the oven.

Mash Bill
51% Corn, 45% Wheat, 4% Malt


Magic Rabbit Chocolate & Peanut Butter Whiskey...$23.99

This stuff is sooo good!!

At Cleveland Whiskey, we are always trying new things and we’re not super serious all the time. Sometimes, we just want to have some fun and that’s what happened here. It was like Magic.

Experience creamy milk chocolate paired with peanut butter nuttiness and whiskey­–an adult version of America’s favorite sweet treat like no other.


Cleveland Underground Bourbon finished with Black Cherry Wood...$36.99

Underground Black Cherry Wood bourbon delivers a unique rich textured and well-rounded bourbon with light flavor from the cherry wood with a slightly tart, slightly sweet spice note. No added sugar, artificial flavor or preservatives.

Our very own Parker, of the cartoon and cat loving variety, created this cult classic character back in our 17th season. Appearing in several episodes under another stage name that was deemed inappropriate, our executive producers and editors decided that a name change and further character development— a 4-month hiatus in Bourbon barrels—were necessary to satisfy our most ardent and demanding viewers.

Sierra Nevada Hoptimum Triple IPA




2023 Edition
Sierra Nevada Hoptimum Triple IPA....$14.99 / 6pk
Fancy seeing me here! After all, the place can hardly hold 11% — I’m scraping the rafters. Makes for a good view, and it’s clear when a room needs what I’ve got in spades: fruity, dank, and devilishly hoppy flavor. Your night is looking up. Savor it and don’t blink because I like to vanish in a puff of lupulin dust.
Hoptimum’s 2023 appearance ramps up the West Coast flavor profile, dry hopping with Simcoe, Idaho 7, Chinook, and Magnum varieties for heaps of resinous pine and a fruity medley of orange, grapefruit, and berries.

Truly “small batch,” each batch of our US1 Bourbon is typically composed of no more than two dozen barrels, leaving no margin for “blending out” imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is nuanced, mellow, and earthy.
