Alpha Brewing Gibberish Chocolate Oatmeal Porter


Part of their Indoctrination Series

Alpha Brewing Company Gibberish Chocolate Oatmeal Porter...$5.99 / 22oz
"Yanashannannammoohaanyyyalaalaabaaamaannyyaanasuntannallam!# This beer speaks for itself and will tye (sic) your tongue in knots.  A tasty malty porter brewed with oatmeal.  Shove this down your throat!" -- label


Paul Lato Syrah - Huge scores!!





2012 Paul Lato Syrah "Il Padrino" Bien Nacido Vineyard...$99.99
More masculine (about as masculine as any of Paul’s wines get? which isn’t very masculine), the 2012 Syrah Il Padrino Bien Nacido Vineyard (100% Syrah aged in 85% new French oak) had loads of creme de cassis, wood smoke, cracked pepper, salty minerality and ground herbs to go with a medium to full-bodied, layered, pure and overall fresh profile on the palate. It’s the incredible purity of fruit that really sets this apart. Also showing building, finely polished tannin on the finish, give this smoking Syrah another year or so and drink it through 2027.
Rated 95+/100 The Wine Advocate

2012 Paul Lato Syrah "Cinematique" Larner Vineyard...$89.99
On another level, the 2012 Syrah Cinematique Larner Vineyard (92.5% Syrah, 5% Viognier and 2.5% Grenache aged in 50% new French oak) has an incredible perfume of sweet blackberry, raspberry, crushed violets, coffee bean and bay leaf to go with a medium to full-bodied, silky, seamless and ethereally textured profile on the palate. Picking up plenty of fine tannin with time in the glass, this is a gorgeously pure, layered and multi-dimensional Syrah that will benefit from short-term cellaring, and have 15 years or more of ultimate longevity. It’s not a blockbuster, yet excels on its balanced, seamlessness and purity.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate

"reminiscent of a great vintage of Petrus" - Robert Parker





2010 Gundlach Bundschu Merlot Heritage Selection...$79.99
The 2010 Merlot Heritage Collection displays a strikingly dense ruby/purple color as well as a tremendous bouquet of cassis, mocha and black cherries vaguely reminiscent of a great vintage of Petrus. No kidding! Full-bodied, powerful and rich, this 100-case cuvee tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol. A stunning effort, it is as great a Merlot as one will find in Northern California. It should age effortlessly for 15-20 years.
Rated 96/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advcoate

Cakebread Merlot




2010 Cakebread Merlot Napa Valley...$59.99
The ripe, earthy, black cherry, dark plum and blackcurrant aromas of our 2010 Napa Valley Merlot introduce a palate full of rich plum, pomegranate and dark cherry flavors that take on a spicy tone in the wine’s long, fruitful finish. Boasting vibrant, concentrated flavors, fine tannins and good balancing acidity, this beautifully structured wine is alluring now, but will develop even greater richness and complexity with another 2-3 years of bottle age.

Another Great 2012 Cab - Mount Veeder!

Another great 2012 Napa Vally Cabernet!


2012 Mount Veeder Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley...$25.99
83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec, and 1% Cabernet Franc
Deep ruby in color with aromas of deep cherry, plum, and vanilla intertwined with beautiful hints of anise and caramel. Additional notes of dark chocolate and cassis linger on the nose. Flavors of dark cherry and berry pie combine with hints of rosemary and bay, perfectly complementing complex notes of allspice and vanilla. A smooth, seamlessly integrated palate with rich structure and mountain personality.
"Smooth and ripe with juicy berry fruit and intense notes of tobacco, mocha and spice; tangy and balanced with length and depth."

2008 Catedral Reserva Dao...$6.99
Mint and red-fruit aromas dominate this classic Dão wine, with its firm tannins and mineral structure. Spice, toast and dark-berry flavors give a feeling of weight to a wine that demands to be paired with rich red meats.
Rated 90/100 The Wine Enthusiast

Distilled Beer!








Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Distilled...$47.99 / 375ml
40% ABV
Traditional Frankonian Beer Spirit distilled from Schlenkerla Smoke Beer and matured on Schlenkerla smoked malt for several months.



Aventinus Edelbrand Distilled...$51.99 / 750ml
Aged for 3 years in Michel Couvre Whiskey Barrels
"Edelster Aventinus in its distilled form maintains its beautiful banana and dark strawberry nose combined with black peppery hop spice and hints of basil and clove. Its smooth, sticky mouthfeel compliments the fruity malt sweetness (strawberry/ pear/banana becoming vanilla) in perfect balance with the acidity and black-pepper bitterness."

Guinness Potato Chips




Burts Guinness Potato Chips...$1.59 / 1.5 oz bag
We’ve hand cooked quality potatoes to crisp perfection, before evenly flavouring them with a unique blend of roasted barley and hops. The result is a mouth-watering crisp with the bitter sweet flavour of the iconic Irish stout.

New from Forty Creek






Forty Creek Copper Pot Whisky...$23.99
Forty Creek Copper Pot Whisky is made in the same award winning style as Barrel Select, by renowned whisky maker John Hall.   The difference is that Forty Creek Copper Pot is amped up in flavour delivering a deeper and richer taste profile.   Patient extra ageing takes place in white oak barrels, and careful selection of whisky stocks. Copper Pot is bottled at 43% alc./vol. to complement the depth of flavours in this bold whisky.

Tasting Notes
Deep copper (amber) colour. Bold aromas of toffee, nuts and spice. Dried stone fruits follow through on a smooth, supple entry. Full bodied with rich brown spice notes and hints of marmalade. Finishes with a long, sensual fade. A whisky worthy savouring.

Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve...$49.99

Notes from John Hall, Whisky Maker
I have worked with many types of oak barrels, first as a wine maker and then as a whisky maker. Every wood, whether it is from a bourbon barrel, port barrel, sherry cask, French, Balkan or American oak, creates a distinctive taste expression. As a proud Canadian whisky maker, I have always been curious what a Canadian whisky would taste like aged in a Canadian oak barrel, because most Canadian whiskies are aged in American oak.

To my delight, I discovered some massive Canadian white oak trees that were growing only 40 miles from the distillery! They must have started growing just before Confederation in 1867 because they were 4 feet in diameter and over 150 years old. The selected trees were harvested from a sustainably managed forest employing the principle of “no tree before its time.” This forest has a mixture of young trees coming up in the understory, mature trees in full productive vigor, and old trees whose growth has slowed. These older trees block sunlight and rainfall from the younger trees and when over-matured, need to be removed.

I thought I could give them a second career as whisky barrels. Canadian and American white oak trees are the same species. However, the cooler growing conditions in Canada result in slower growing trees that are more dense than their American counterparts. Consequently, the aromas and flavour profiles of Canadian oak are very different due to the Canadian terroir.  This is truly an iconic whisky. Canadian whisky, aged in Canadian oak barrels, harvested from trees that first rooted themselves in Canadian soil 150 years ago during Confederation.

Tasting Notes
Forty Creek Confederation Oak is the colour of old gold and is a very full bodied whisky. To the nose it is a big whisky with constantly evolving aromas and flavours. Beginning with a maple-raisin-vanilla-fig, layers of praline, banana, butter cream, honeyed nuts, marzipan, spice and orange blossoms. As it lingers, dark dried fruits and anise evolve. On the palate it has a very rich entry; soft, round and dry. Full bodied with vanilla, butter cream and pepper spice which is nicely framed with oak, walnut and smoke. An exceptional finish that has great depth. A long lingering finish with fading spice and white pepper. Excellent balance and vibrant flavour. A whisky to sip and cherish.


Forty Creek Confederation Oak is perhaps the finest Canadian Whisky I have ever tasted. It is an outstanding whisky achieving classic status. We love the whisky’s creamy texture, along with its gentle sweetness and lovely fruit. Both distinctive and very drinkable, it’s an outstanding effort!”  -- John Hansell, Malt Advocate Magazine

Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve...$46.99

Notes from John Hall, Whisky Maker
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to purchase some outstanding bourbon barrels from Kentucky. These barrels are excellent for ageing whiskies because they are “seasoned”. This means most of the fresh harsh oak tannins have been removed and what remains is all the good stuff, such as the softer oak tannins, wood vanillas, sugars and the toasty, smokey, spicy aromas, as well as the caramelized flavours from the heavy charring of the inside of the barrel.

After ageing my rye, barley and corn whiskies in their own special barrels, I decided to bring them together as a meritage, and placed the three whiskies into the bourbon barrels. This double barreling allowed the whiskies to hang out together and take on the subtle qualities offered by the bourbon barrels to enhance the finishing of the whisky.

Tasting Notes
Forty Creek Double Barrel has a wonderful golden roasted aroma filled with deep vanilla notes and highlighted with toasted spice, pecan and walnuts. There is a caramelized creaminess to the flavour with a rich spice that lifts it off the tongue. The finish is very smooth, mellow and extra long.

Jefferson Chef's Collaboration...$39.99
"Ridiculously Small Batch"
"a marriage or rare barrels of Bourbon and Rye"
Chef’s Collaboration - A late night spent tasting some of chef Edward Lee’s culinary creations led Trey to the idea that someone should blend a bourbon that would pair well with the bold flavors in chef Lee’s cookbook and other modern cuisine. Without hesitation, Trey and Ed set forth. The result is a blend with a spicy upfront and a fruity finish, enhanced by the addition of rye whiskey into the mix. Perfect with meals, for mixing cocktails or simply drinking neat.

Iron Maiden Trooper Beer

Now in CANS!!!










Iron Maiden Beer!
Trooper British Beer...$5.49 / pint
Trooper British Beer...$9.49 / 4pk 16oz cans

TROOPER is a deep golden ale with citric hop notes and dominating malt flavours with a subtle hint of lemon. Real depth of character with complex hop notes using a combination of Goldings, Bobec and Cascade Hops.

Real ale fan and history aficionado Bruce Dickinson, Maiden's vocalist, played a major role in developing the unique flavour of the beer, entailing ongoing visits to Robinson’s brewery in Stockport.

"I'm a lifelong fan of traditional English ale; I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when we were asked to create our own beer. I have to say that I was very nervous: Robinsons are the only people I have had to audition for in 30 years. Their magic has been to create the alchemical wedding of flavour and texture that is TROOPER. I love it."

Watch the video below to find out more about the creation of TROOPER.





THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
"You’d better stand, there’s no turning back"


The Trooper song was originally inspired by ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’. It took place at the Battle of Balaclava (1854) during the Crimean War when 600 British cavalry courageously charged the massed Russian artillery. This gallant but foolhardy assault resulted in a massive loss of life and came about due to a misunderstanding of an order given by the Commanding Officer, Lord Raglan.

Boulevard Imperial Stout X - Coffee

1 bottle per person 



Boulevard Imperial Stout X – Coffee...$11.99 / 750ml
Style: Imperial Stout
This first edition of our Imperial Stout “X” series, incorporates freshly roasted Ethiopian Sidamo beans from our friends and neighbors at The Roasterie. After fermentation is complete and the beer has been crash cooled with the yeast removed, our brewers transfer Imperial Stout into a sanitized stainless tank that has been fitted with bags of coarsely ground coffee beans. At this point, the beer is at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Infusing the coffee at this temperature is similar to the cold toddy method of brewing coffee. The cold toddy method extracts far fewer acids from the coffee resulting in remarkably smooth, yet concentrated flavors. We allow the beer to rest on the coffee for a minimum of 24 hours before removing the beer from the coffee beans. Imperial Stout X – Coffee is not barrel aged.
The resulting beer is a marriage of huge, round, chocolate and caramel notes from the base beer, with smooth layers of sweet citrus and floral flavors and aromas from the coffee.

Sean Thackrey in stock now!!

Very excited to have Sean Thackrey wines on the shelf...
Sean Thackrey is one of those wines that brings me back to when I started back at The Wine and Cheese Place in 1987.   He is one of the original "Rhone Rangers" and one of the original cult wines.  His wines always got huge scores (this was before there were a lot of wines that got huge scores), and we were unable to get them in Missouri.  People kept asking for them and asking for them.    Well here they are.....









Sean Thackrey Orion "Rossi Vineyard"...$94.99
 (14.8% alcohol; bottled just a week before I tasted it): Saturated bright ruby. Slightly roasted aromas of black raspberry and eucalyptus complicated by sexy white fruit notes of apricot, passion fruit and peach pit. Suave, elegant and quite penetrating, with harmonious acidity shaping and leavening the complex flavors of black raspberry, stone fruits and chocolate mint. This "heritage vineyard," from which Sean Thackrey has made this wine since 1992, was planted in 1905, and according to Thackrey, "no one knows what's in it." He added that at least 11 different varieties have been identified."
Rated 93+/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media







2012 Sean Thackrey Andromeda Pinot Noir Devil's Gulch...$53.99
"This is, as always, Pinot Noir from a vineyard above Nicasio in Marin County, thus the closest to Bolinas of all the vineyards we harvest from, and one of the cooler and windier Pinot Noir growing sites in the world. This means the fruit is never baked, fatal to the quality of Pinot in warmer locations....a naturally very high proportion of skins to juice, in turn meaning a Pinot Noir naturally intense in color and flavor. As usual, I've done everything to accentuate these (excellent) natural characteristics, and the result is reliably delicious...it's hard fro me to keep my corkscrew away from it." - Sean Thackrey




NV Sean Thackrey Pleiades XXIII Old Vines...$25.99
 (13.9% alcohol; sangiovese, viognier, pinot noir and zinfandel, to name but a few varieties in this blend): Bright, pale red. Almost pinot-like perfume to the aromas of red berries, minerals, gingerbread cookie and rose petal. Sweet and round but exhilaratingly tangy too, offering enticing perfume to the flavors of cranberry, raspberry, blood orange and spicecake. Lovely balance and finesse here; complex in a subtle way.
Rated 92/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar




2012 Sean Thackrey La Pleiade....$25.99
 Medium yellow. Slightly high-toned aromas of yellow apple, dried fruits, nuts and spices. Dry and chewy in the mouth, with a pronounced phenolic character to the flavors of pear skin, cyanic peach pit, green almond and bitter herbs. Suggests a good bit of skin contact. Not a fruity style but this distinctly idiosyncratic blend should be endlessly flexible with food. Hipster alert!
Rated 90/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar





2013 Sean Thackrey Fifi Sangiovese ROSE...$25.99
"Admittedly, a rose name "Fifi" may sound as though it's the airhead of artisan wines, but producing it didn't just happen by accident, like, "OMG it came out all pink!", or whatever; no. In fact, it's an absolutely delicious rose of Sangiovese, and getting it right took several years of the sort of fanatic care and attention to detail for which we're something close to legendary, or close at least to exhaustion. I haven't yet served it to anyone who hasn't loved the result, which gives me every reason to be confident you will agree" - Sean Thackrey

Bowmore Dorus Mor Small Batch Release II...$79.99
10 year Old Single Mat Whisky"Matured in the finest first fill bourbon barrels, which over time help to bring out Bowmore's trademark peaty smokiness, this non chill-filtered, small batch release from 2014 is a formidable tour de force worthy of the name Dorus Mor.  



Bowmore Devils Casks Single Malt Scotch Release II...$89.99 / 750ml
10 year Old Single Mat Whisky
Legend has it that the devil once visited the church in Bowmore. Now if you’ve ever seen it,you’ll know that the church is circular, built that way (so it’s said) so there would be no corner in which the devil could hide. The local congregation spotted the devil and chased him down through the village, into the gates of Bowmore Distillery. Here, the warehousemen were filling casks and loading them aboard the paddle steamer, The Maid of Islay. Gates and doors locked tight shut, every inch of the distillery was searched, but to no avail. As legend goes, the devil escaped in a cask of Bowmore bound for the mainland.

Matured exclusively, and unusually in the finest first fill sherry casks, which help to bring out Bowmore’s hot and fiery characteristics, this small batch release is, quite simply, devilishly good!

On the eye deep mahogany Breathe in dark fruits, birch tar, the seductive warmth of old leather, brandy, fruitcake and maple syrup.

Sip rich fruitcake, tarry chocolate, lingering dark fruits, tobacco and angelica root.

Savour the exceptionally long, full-bodied finish.
