2012 Marqués de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

Spain
Marqués de Murrieta Castillo Ygay is one of Spain's most iconic wines, celebrated for its exceptional quality, heritage, and longevity. Oldest Rioja Estate: Founded in 1852, Marqués de Murrieta played a pivotal role in establishing Rioja as a globally recognized wine region.
2012 Marques de Murrietta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Espcial...$279.99
So much dried flower, mushroom, iron, rust, sweet berry, and grilled orange. Full-bodied with very elegant and refined tannins that melt in the mouth and give a real sense of place and integrity. Balanced and harmonious. The finesse and finish is endless. Production was 30% less than in 2011. Already so drinkable. A wonderful future. This is the new 1934 or 1964, two legends. Drink or hold.
PERFCT WINE
Rated 100/100 James Suckling

The 2012 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial was produced with a blend of 81% Tempranillo and 19% Mazuelo (Cariñena) from the plot La Plana in the Ygay estate, which was planted in 1950.....very classical, with notes of earth, cedar, spice and meat. The palate is polished, sleek and elegant with a touch of earthy rusticity. 103,216 bottles, 3,121 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in May 2019. No 2013, 2014 or 2015 will be produced, so from here, they will jump to 2016 to be released in 2026 or 2027. I look forward to it, and I'm intrigued about what I'm going to find when I taste it.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate

2023 La Vieille Ferme Blanc at an amazing price


"Jean-Pierre Perrin established La Vieille Ferme over 45 years ago, as an affordable straightforward Rhône wine to sell by direct mail to French wine lovers. He used the same grape varieties in similar proportions to those planted at the family’s Château de Beaucastel and employed a similar vinification process" - importer

"One of the Perrins- worldwide successes has been their least expensive wine, now in screw cap, La Vieille Ferme. Basically this is an under-$10 wine in both white and red that is exceptionally well-made, and the ideal inexpensive introduction to the viticulture of southern France" - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate


2023 La Vieille Ferme Blanc....$6.99
Compare to $9.49 at Total Wine and More, Fairview Heights
Elegant pale yellow-green colour with silver highlights. This wine opens with a nose full of freshness with notes of lemon and pear delicately mixed with a bouquet of small white flowers. These aromas linger on the palate with beautiful tension and a remarkable balance between juicy fruit and lots of freshness. The finish is saline bringing a delicate hint of bitterness which gives this wine length and flavour.
If you enjoy quaffable wines, this one is ideal as an aperitif or paired with a simple meal.

Farm & Estate Red Corn Bourbon

 
Farm & Estate Red Corn Bourbon...$43.99 / 750ml
Non-GMO heirloom grain Jimmy red corn is a typically rich and sweet corn with a little more aromatics. The Brasetto rye is used for the nutty, spicy and fruit notes of this grain. The malted barley grown in the US, especially in the Midwest, tend toward a soft grassy note. The blend used is perfect for adding to the richness of the heirloom Jimmy red. The crops are grown in the Midwest at Ford county 1 and Stumpf Farms. They are irrigated and mashed/fermented with limestone water like traditional bourbons. This particular whiskey is mashed, fermented and aged together. This came together nicely and the flavor at this proof is such that it is being offered uncut. 
Grain: 85% Corn (Jimmy Red) 12.5% Rye (Brasetto) 2.5% Malt (2 Row)
Character: rich, spicy, fruity, malted "pilsner style" grassy, toasty, deep

Albert Mann Pinot Auxerrois

Great price on this Alsatian White!


2021 Albert Mann Pinot Blanc Auxerrois Alsace...$14.99
SUPER SALE! Regular Price...$19.99

From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now.

Letherbee Strawberry / Gin Cordial

OMGEEEE this is delicious!!!

Letherbee Strawberry Cordial...$22.99/750ml
2024’s Vernal Strawberry Cordial is a continuation of Letherbee's new work with fruit and celebrates warm weather’s most anticipated juice-bomb: STRAWBERRIES!

Strawberry juice is carefully blended with a precious little recipe of neutral grain spirit compounded with a proprietary blend of botanicals, neutral French oak, hand-harvested Chicago rooftop honey, and some of our Original Label Gin. The result is a bright, juicy, dry, aromatic enigma of some of earth’s finest blessings.

We encourage you to think of and to use this like a dry aromatized wine. Drink straight! Spritz it! Mix with Tonic! A Cosmo! A Vesper! Don’t let us stop you! Go off!

For best results, serve chilled and keep chilled after. 16.7% ABV


Apologue Paw Paw Liqueur

 


Apologue Spirits Paw Paw Liqueur...$36.99/750ml
The paw paw is a native North American tree known for the fruit it bears in the late summer through early fall. The fruits are green on the outside, yellow on the inside and grow to a length of up to six inches. Many Missourians use the pulp, which is roughly the same consistency as a banana, to make bread, pie, jelly and custard. The flavor is often compared to that of a banana, mango or kiwi. Pawpaw trees themselves are short and serve as forest undergrowth.

Rare and elusive, the Paw Paw is a fruit like no other with a taste reminiscent of banana and mango. Showcased here alongside crisp granny smith apple and fresh peach, hand split vanilla beans and mellow marshmallow root with just a touch of ginger heat and bright lime peel. Think: autumn on a tropical island. Pairs particularly well with agave spirits and rum.--Apologue website


Paw Paw is a favorite ingredient at the acclaimed STL restaurant, Bulrush!
