BOURBON COUNTY STOUT BLACK FRIDAY RELEASE!

There will be tickers on each beer - if they are not listed when you go to our website, that means they have sold out.

Bourbon County Stout 2023...$12.99 / 16.9oz bottle

After crafting the very first bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout, we’ve learned that to have the best beer, you start with the best possible ingredients. Barrels are such an important ingredient, and we continue to use only the best our friends on the bourbon trail have to offer.⁠

Bourbon County Original Stout is aged in a mix of freshly emptied bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Four Roses and Wild Turkey distilleries.⁠

Barrel aged for an average of 12 months, Original boasts deeply developed flavors of fudge, vanilla, and caramelized sugar with a rich, decadent mouthfeel

No limit!

Bourbon County Bananas Foster...$21.99 / 16.9oz bottle

STOUT AGED IN BOURBON BARRELS WITH BANANAS, ALMONDS, CASSIA BARK, AND NATURAL FLAVORS

Welcoming back another member of the family this year, Bourbon County Bananas Foster Stout makes its debut on the national stage. This recipe was first released in 2017 as Bourbon County Brand Proprietor’s Stout only to Chicago drinkers. Beloved by many, this release is especially near and dear to our innovation brewer Quinn Fuechsl’s heart.⁠
⁠
At the time when we first released this beer, the brewery hadn’t experimented with bananas much. However, Quinn had a good feeling that the fruit, along with almond and cassia bark, would be perfect ingredients in a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout — indeed, he was right. Sure to bring a bit of flair to your palate, this decadent pour is well-balanced with deep caramelization, aromas of fresh baked banana bread and warm notes of cinnamon and almond.

No limit!

Bourbon County Backyard Stout...$21.99 / 16.9oz bottle

STOUT AGED IN BOURBON BARRELS WITH MULBERRIES, BOYSENBERRIES, AND MARIONBERRIES

Feeling nostalgic this year, we dove into our Bourbon County vault and pulled out an iconic recipe. In 2013, we released “Backyard Rye” and our senior innovation manager Mike Siegel found himself hand picking mulberries off trees just steps away from our Goose Island Barrel House in Chicago. Inspired by that initial release and by his own childhood memories of picking fruit in his own backyard, Mike set to work on this year’s Bourbon County Backyard Stout.⁠
This barrel-aged stout was first aged in bourbon barrels for at least one year, and then finished and blended with mulberries, boysenberries and marionberries. Each addition of berry contributes its own distinct flavor profile, with some adding sweetness and others providing acidity and complexity. A taste of the past, this imperial stout is a balanced and nuanced play on fresh fruit, vanilla, and chocolate.

THESE ARE SOLD OUT!

There is a chance we might get more of these.

Wow, the nose jumps out - malty, woody, bread and yeast come through. Coats the palate with toffee, vanilla and spice. The whiskey lingers in the mouth. Come taste for yourself.  You can feel the warmth of the132.6 proof, but it does not overpower it at all! Fantastic!

2022 Joh. Jos. Prum Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Long Gold Cap

Almost perfect dessert wine!

2022 Joh. Jos. Prum Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese Long Gold Cap....$519.99
Hard to believe that this nobly-sweet masterpiece was possible in 2022! Here is a very lush and creamy Auslese with incredible aromas of exotic fruit coulis plus a slew of tropical flowers. So much ripe papaya on the full-bodied palate! Fantastic concentration, creaminess and vitality right through the super-long and compact finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs

An unprecedented Taittigner Comtes de Champagne Release!!!

WOW!  Four vintages in stock!

Limited release that just arrived today!

First time receiving the 2013 and we scored some library releases from Taittinger

2006 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs....$174.99
The 2006 Comtes de Champagne is striking, especially in the way it brings together elements of ripeness and freshness in a hypothetical blend of the 2002 and 2004. Smooth and creamy on the palate, the 2006 is all about texture. There is a real feeling of density and weight in the 2006, qualities I expect to see grow with time in the bottle. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. The 2006 has been nothing short of magnificent both times I have tasted it. Comtes de Champagne remains the single best value (in relative terms) in tête de cuvée Champagne. I suggest buying a case and following it over the next 20-30 years, which is exactly what I intend to do. There is little doubt the 2006 Comtes de Champagne is a magical Champagne in the making.

2011 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs....$179.98
A firm, fresh Comtes with a tight and composed palate. It’s full-bodied with a racy mid-palate. Long and persistent. Very structured with phenolics and acidity. Minerally. Floral, too. Refreshing and energetic. September 2021 release. Drink or hold.

2012 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs....$215.98
This is a fantastic and refined Blanc de Blancs. So layered and complex, with lemon curd, chalk, hazelnuts, pastries, baked apples and almond croissants. Structured and tightly wound, with almost imperceptible bubbles. Delicious salty notes at the end. Beautiful. Drink or hold.
Rated 99/100 James Suckling
The 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is showing beautifully out of the gates, offering up demonstrative aromas of sweet golden orchard fruit, buttery croissants, peach and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and enveloping, it's a rich, textural, vinous Comtes somewhat reminiscent of the brilliant 2002. If it gains in tension and cut (as the 2002 did and as I suspect the 2012 will) with more time on cork, it will make this initial rating seem conservative.
Rated 95+/100 The Wine Advocate
Rated 95/100 Decanter Magazine

2013 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs....$224.98
The 2013 Comtes de Champagne captures all the pedigree of this great vintage in its energy, depth and vibrancy. Lemon confit, dried flowers, chamomile, spice and crushed rocks all race across the palate. Passionfruit, ginger, marzipan and mint appear later, filling out the layers beautifully. Harvest took place in October in what has become the exception rather than the norm in Champagne.
Rated 98/100 Vinous Media
This concise review highlights Taittinger's newly released 2013 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne, a standout cuvée from the house, shaped by the vintage's classic profile. Aficionados of this cuvée will be pleased to find that it exemplifies the distinctive style that has garnered Comtes’s global recognition.

Domaine Collin Cremant de Limoux Brut Rose

Our best value in dry Rose French Sparkling!

VALENTINE'S DAY IS NEXT WEEK!

Plan ahead!!

(don't get caught up in Superbowl weekend and forget)

Domaine Collin Cremant de Limoux Brut Rose...$19.99
Chardonnay 75% Chenin Blanc 15% Pinot Noir 10%
Philippe Collin, a native of Champagne, moved to Limoux in 1980 to establish his own domaine. Though his family has made Champagne for generations, the opportunities in this sought after, and extremely expensive area, were very limited.
This elegantly constructed rosé is pale salmon pink in color. Though the wine is primarily made from Chardonnay, subtle wild strawberry notes are detectable in the nose and on the palate from the Pinot Noir. The crisp, mineral Chardonnay is softened by the lush and aromatic Chenin Blanc. The result is a lively wine with a lot of character, without any aggressive or astringent notes. This is a wonderfully versatile rosé ideal for pork and salmon dishes, or simply on its own as an aperitif

Joel Falmet GROWER CHAMPAGNE

The Rare Vintage!
2008 Joel Falmet Vintage Extra Brut Champagne....$89.99

An appealing Champagne, with a broad, creamy feel working in tandem with racy acidity to showcase expressive flavors of baked black currant, chopped almond, whole-grain toast and accents of candied lemon peel and crystallized honey. Reveals hints of white truffle and oyster shell that linger on the fresh, salty finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2030. 150 cases made, 25 cases imported.

St. Prefert Famille Isabel Ferrando Chateauneuf du Pape

Incredible CDP that you can drink now for Thanksgiving!

2020 St. Prefert Famille Isabel Ferrando Chateauneuf du Pape...$99.99

Now the flagship of this estate, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is 75% Grenache and the rest Cinsault, Mourvedre, and a little Syrah. Sporting a deep ruby/purple hue, it offers a beautiful array of black raspberry and darker cherry fruit as well as lots of graphite, chalky minerality, Provençal garrigue, and spice. Beautiful on the palate as well, this medium to full-bodied effort has a layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, rock-solid underlying structure and concentration, building tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It needs to be forgotten for 2-4 years (although it certainly offers incredible pleasure even today) and will keep for two decades. Tasted twice.
Rated 98+/100 Jeb Dunnuck
Even within the context of the excellent 2020 vintage in Chateauneuf this is a really stunning wine. Incredible concentration of spiced plum cake with stacks of candied citrus and dried herb aromas. Giant tannin structure but this is so plush and refined, it sweeps you off your feet and carries you in its arms through the super-long finish. Drink or hold.
Rated 97/100 James Suckling
Approachable out of the gate, with gorgeous red fruit, wild strawberry, licorice root, dusty earth and lavender flavors joined by floral highlights. Beautifully textured and silky on the palate, with mineral intensity building on the palate, imparting nice persistence and length. A polished yet honest, characteristic wine. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032. 3,300 cases made, 1,007 cases imported.
