Chateau Virgile Costieres de Nimes Blanc


Customer favorite producer!

2022 Chateau Virgile Costieres de Nimes Blanc...$12.99
Marsanne 30%, Roussanne 40%, Viognier 20%, Rolle 10%
The grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness.
Aged on the lees for 6 months for extra complexity.  
An amazing white wine blend!!!
White wine accounts for only 4% of the entire production of Costières de Nimes.
The Château Virgile Blanc is a beautiful example of a white Rhône. The addition of Rolle to the blend has brightened up the wine, making it a bit livelier than in previous vintages. The Roussanne, adds stone fruit flavors of peach and apricot, it also adds weight, texture, and body to the wine. Next, the Marsanne adds lively acidity, a hint of minerality, and citrus fruit flavors. Finally, the Viognier adds tropical fruit flavors to the wine, as well as beautiful, floral aromatics. This is a beautifully balanced wine, ideal for just about any type of shellfish, especially seared scallops, or simply on its own as an aperitif.

Here the cane is prosperous, rich in juice, like a fatty herb, and it will give birth to round rums, generous and full of sweetness. The woody expression is different, frank with a delicate note of vanilla as well as a smoky, mineral touch. Let yourself be taken aboard for distant horizons. Each year's rhum is a unique vintage representing that year's harvest.

Widow Jane Lucky Thirteen 13 Year Bourbon




Widow Jane Lucky Thirteen 13 Year Bourbon....$129.99
Batch #2

93 proof

The whiskey aging process is influenced by time & place. Aren’t we lucky. These barrels have all been influenced by the greatly varying temperatures & humidity levels of their original source and their time in our rick house in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The different rick house positions combined with climate variations have led to subtle deviations in flavor, all coming together in a hyper small batches, little more than a handful of barrels at a time.

Aged for a minimum of thirteen years, non-chill filtered & proofed with our own limestone mineral water from the Legendary Rosendale Mines of NY, Lucky Thirteen is always a way to share good fortune.
