by James Suckling 2024
We have it in stock!
2021 K-Vintners Motor City Kitty Syrah...$39.99
The aromas leap out of the glass. Wet earth, tapenade, green peppercorns, volcanic ash and tea leaves. Hints of orange peel. It’s electric on the palate, so savory, so earthy and so minerally, with stemmy and tea-like tannins. The freshness and energy are astounding, and the finish just keeps going. Delicious syrah.

St.Bernardus Christmas Ale

St.Bernardus Christmas Ale...$15.99 / 4pk 11.2oz cans
St.Bernardus Christmas Ale...$4.49 / 11.2oz can
St. Bernardus Christmas Ale is a dark, seasonal beer, full of wintery character and flavours that we brew every year ready for the festive season.
ABV 9.8

Colour
This beer takes on a splendid dark-brown colour that is topped off with a cream-coloured layer of froth.
Character, taste, aromas
St.Bernardus Christmas Ale is an intensely dark beer with a full, yet slightly fruity flavour, overflowing with the tastes of winter and zesty seasonal aromas. Aniseed notes are complemented by hints of creamy caramel and fire-roasted chestnuts. This zestiness shows no signes of abating, pushing through to a magnificent finish of dried fruits and chocolate. Just like all of our beers, this brew bears the imprint of the unique St.Bernardus yeast (dating back to 1946), that gives it its own special complexity. Simply stated, St.Bernardus Christmas Ale is the perfect degustation beer to warm your heart and bring a glow to your loved ones on a cold winter night.
Culinary
Christmas and chocolate is a tried and trusted combination, and the Christmas Ale forms a perfect match with a wide variety of desserts, but especially those made with chocolate. Also, when game is in season, make sure you serve a Christmas Ale. A less obvious pairing that is perfect in its own special way can be made with Scandinavian dishes, rich with wintery spices.

Segura Viudas Brut Cava





Great price! On one of the best selling Cavas!
Magnum bottle!
Segura Viudas Brut Cava....$15.99 / MAGNUM

Was $23.99
(750ml sells for $11.99)

Fruitiness, freshness and complexity are the three principal defining characteristics of Segura Viudas Brut. The extended and complex process of the traditional method of aging makes all the difference to the taste. This involves autolysis of the yeast cells in the base wine for 3 months before bottling. Then, once more, aging in the bottle for a minimum of 15 months.
Winemaker's Notes
Aromas are of white fruits, citrus, tropical fruits, and light floral notes. The palate is exquisite, complex and full of flavor, with good acidity and notes of lime and pineapple. It is dry and long on the finish.

New vintage of Dom Perignon just hit! 2015 Vintage!



New vintage of Dom Perignon just hit!
2015 Vintage!

Get ready for any celebration!
2015 Dom Perignon Brut Champagne....$269.98

There's a well-spiced, zesty edge to the flavors of glazed apple, mandarin orange peel, pink grapefruit pith and crème de cassis as they ride the finely detailed mousse of this fresh, focused Champagne. This vivid display is enriched by notes of canelé pastry, chopped almond, pastry cream, smoke and vanilla, all coming to the forefront through the midpalate and chiming on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2035.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Spectator
A super-complex Champagne with chewy tension. Aromas of coffee beans, lemon peel, burnt sugar, chalky minerality, barley candy and tarte tatin. Fine pinprick bubbles with flavors of lemon leaves, aspirin and Mirabelle plums, plus a touch of grapefruit bitterness keeping the tension. Zesty yet integrated chewy acidity and a medium body with a toasted finish. Drink of hold.
Rated 97/100 James Suckling
Disgorged in January 2023, the 2015 Dom Pérignon shows a singular, ethereal profile with aromas of white pepper, iodine, ripe orchard fruits, toast, smoke, herbs and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and structured, it’s enveloping and round with a delicate phenolic mid-palate that underlines chalky dry extracts, concluding with a sapid, penetrating finish with gastronomic bitterness. This iteration of Dom Pérignon, though replete with the customary charm and vinous generosity that typify the label, distinguishes itself by its structural delicate austerity and a notably phenolic profile, giving rise to a remarkably linear and well-defined style that diverges markedly from the more familiar expressions of Dom Pérignon. This is a blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter; it will age wonderfully and can be enjoyed now or over the next 20 years.

Schlafly Christmas Ale and Coffee Stout

We have not seen this one in years!!!
 
Schlafly Christmas Ale...$10.99 / 6pk 12oz bottles
Ho Ho Ho!
Our Christmas Ale is a warming winter ale that blends the spices of the season with sweet caramel malt. The inspiration for this beer comes from spiced holiday beverages such as wassail and mulled wines. Around the holidays, the sweet and spicy aromas are the perfect compliment for enjoying each other’s company and spreading goodwill!
8% ABV

Schlafly Coffee Stout...$9.99 / 6pk 12oz bottles
The other morning brew.
Our classic combination of a traditional stout and artisanal coffee uses a unique cold-toddy extraction process to pull out the best qualities of the beans. Earthy flavors of roasted barley and chocolate dominate the aroma, with the sweetness from the stout to balance it out. Plus, we’re keeping it local through our collaboration with Kaldi’s!

2021 Domaine Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape


We scored 4 cases at a great price!!!
2021 Domaine Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape...$79.99
was $109.99
The advantages of old vines are perhaps most evident in the more difficult vintages (whether hot and dry or cool and rainy). The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a strong effort, delivering supple, velvety waves of ripe black cherries and black raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, it's rich and concentrated without seeming at all heavy or unbalanced, finishing long and juicy. It's approximately 75% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 5% Syrah and 5% other varieties, keeping in mind that up to 15% of the old Grenache vines are actually Clairette Rose.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Advocate
A silky, svelte style, this is expertly reined in by an iron frame of firming mineral energy. Boasts black tea, tar, fresh tobacco and salted cured meat notes that bring savory details, complementing attractive violet, incense and black raspberry paste accents. Vibrant and structured, this is a well-crafted wine that is both seductive and serious. Packs a menthol kick on the long finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032.

Bells Hopslam...$14.99 / 6pk 12oz cans!

Selected specifically because of their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute a pungent blend of grapefruit, stone fruit and floral notes.
