2010 Tolaini Al Passo...$19.99

The 2010 Al Passo is a pretty blend of Sangiovese and a smaller percentage of Merlot from an elegant vintage. The wine is redolent of sweet spice and tobacco with lingering prune and dark cherry. The tobacco theme is strong with dried cigar leaf and ash. The wine is lively in the mouth, with a tight vein of acidity that keeps it from feeling heavy on the palate.

4 new beers from Urban Chestnut

Urban Chestnut Sampler pack...$18.99 for 8 pints

• Urbanator: UCBC’s Maifest Bier gives a nod to the tradition of the German annual rite of Spring, but as a Pale Doppelbock it fundamentally changes the “ator" style of Bock Biers in our own, explicitly Urban way.
• De Bockle: Ah there once was a Belgian from Uccle, who liked to eat frites with his broth full of cockle. And though he was from near Ghent, and liked his grain well spent. His brewing ability matched his name of De Bockle. (This beer though is actually pretty darn good).
• Maximilian: Maximilian I, Duke of Bavaria, was responsible for the permittance of wheat being used in German brewing. As such, we pay our respects to old Max with this traditional Weizenbock ~ a Bock Bier brewed with both wheat malt and a Weiss(wheat)bier yeast strain.
• Oxnbräu: When considering the physical attributes of an Ox, one might use similar words to describe this traditional Doppelbock. While we can’t (technically) describe this beer using those powerful adjectives, we can say it’s quite likely you’ll also enjoy this Lager Bier for its sweet & malty character.

Lambickx Kriek Lambic 2014 here!

New Vintage arrived

Lambickx Kriek Lambic....$19.99
Lambic with Cherries added
Brewed: 2012
Bottled: 2014
Bottles produced: 9,867
Barrels: Oak and Chestnut
ABV: 6.5%

Wonderful aroma of almonds, macaroon and cherry stones. Dry, elegant fruit palate. Lightly sparkling to still.
Lambics are truly the "wines" of the beer world. Just as wines vary by season, soil, climate, and aging method, lambics (unlike any other type of beer) vary by season, brewery location, barrel size and wood type and length of aging.

With wines one talks of "gout du terroir" because the land (terroir) so influences a wine's flavor. With lambics one must speak of "gout du tonneau" because each cask (tonneau) produces a lambic that matures and tastes different. Thanks to this variation, a lambic's character comes not only from the base beer made by the brewer but from the casks selected and blended together. And because lambic is lightly sparkling, the flavors and nuances developed through the cask aging can be fully tasted and appreciated, like in gueuze, which is highly sparkling but much less complex.

Rock Hill Cheese Feature: Coupole

Vermont Creamery Coupole Aged Goat Cheese
This American original is named for its likeness to a snow-covered dome shape and is one of the creamery’s signature geotrichum rinded cheeses. In the landscape of cheese varieties, it stands out as a distinct goat cheese.
Coupole is made with fresh pasteurized goats’ milk from family farms that has been coagulated and shaped. Coupole’s center has a dense texture and fresh, milk taste. Coupole’s allure is attributable to the intriguing contrast between the strong ripened flavor of the rind and the delicate fresh taste of its interior. The wrinkled coral-like appearance makes for an impressive centerpiece on any cheeseboard or melt on top of a perfectly grilled steak.

The Feathery Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

In stock at all four locations

The Feathery Blended Scotch Whisky....$54.99
The Feathery is a blended malt which has been entirely matured in first class sherry wood which makes it slightly sweeter, fuller and more rounded than standard malts. Aged 8-10 years and blended from 3 single malts: Tamdhu, Glengoyne and Glendronach.

The Feathery is the first expression of a range we are developing celebrating original Scottish craftsmanship. The Feathery is the original golf ball painstakingly hand crafted with feathers, tar and bird skin to make a perfectly rounded ball which was more streamlined and effective. The only downside is that it was also very expensive given the number of hours that went into one ball, when playing a game with a feathery the golfers would position two “spotters” who would ensure that the ball was never lost on the course.


Additional Information
Warm, rich oak, and deliciously sweet sherry flavored sultanas, orange segments, full mouth feel, raisins and soft fruits with a long and satisfying finish with spiced orange and chocolate with a hint of butterscotch.

Palate: Warm, rich oak and deliciously sweet sherry flavoured sultanas, orange segments , full mouth feel, raisins and soft fruits.

Finish: long and satisfying finish with spiced orange and chocolate clear and a hint of Butterscotch.

Overall: Very satisfying and well rounded. Great balance of the Citrus and the rich dried fruits, cinnamon and butterscotch notes add to the elegant complexity of this well-made malt whisky.

Bruichladdich 2007 Rockside Farm Islay Barley Single Malt Scotch

Bruichladdich 2007 Rockside Farm Islay Barley Single Malt Scotch....$59.99
The wild west atlantic facing coast gave birth to this third release in our uber-provenance islay barley series.

Harvested in 2006 and distilled in 2007, the grain for this iconic whisky was grown for Bruichladdich in the Minister’s Field at Rockside Farm by Mark and Rohaise French.

A painfully slow distillation to gently coax the delicate oils and flavour compounds from the barley, coupled with casks carefully selected to preserve those flavours, has resulted in a whisky of exceptional complexity.

We believe terroir matters. Distinctive, authentic and unique, this is land and dram united.

Bruichladdich Black Art #4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1990

Bruichladdich Black Art #4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1990...$299.99
23 Year oldThis fourth incarnation of the now legendary black art is as enigmatic as ever, the composition of casks a mystery to all but its creator.

Working with the very finest American and French oak to explore that most esoteric relationship between spirit and wood, Black Art is Master Distiller Jim McEwan's personal voyage into the heart of Bruichladdich.

We believe in the soul of the artisan.

“Stars, hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires.", William Shakespeare, Macbeth


The marriage of the spirit from truly magical casks has created a sensational texture, both sleek and suggestive. Lose yourself in the sweet, fruity, mellow oakiness of this bewitching spirit.
The aromas rise and mingle beautifully creating an olfactory symphony in your hand. Little notes of rich, plump, crystallised grapes flirt over heavier notes of honey. Go deeper and you will find the tang of lemon and lime - This is the DNA of our Bruichladdich spirit; the terroir of ancient peat lands and Islay’s exposed coastline, living, breathing proof that magic really does exist.
Without water the first thought that enters my head is wow! This is strong and my cheeks flush, my eyes water but my heart is in heaven. Its so, so mellow and mature and yes, you can find all of the aromatics on the taste buds and more!!! I get chocolate and coconut, tangerine and papaya and a wonderful infusion of barley sugar with a pinch of cinnamon and aniseed. Completely mesmerising.

Jefferson's / Esquire Barrel Finished Manhattan

Jefferson's collab with Esquire Magazine Barrel Finished Manhattan...$35.99

Everyone could always go for a good Manhattan and now you won't have to go to the trouble of preparing one anytime soon. Esquire, as our astute readers might have picked up over the years, is no stranger to cocktails, and neither is Jefferson's Bourbon, we've teamed up with them to create the ultimate Manhattan… and then bottle it. The result, The Manhattan: Barrel Finished Cocktail, was narrowed down from dozens of taste-tests and then aged for 90 days in bourbon barrels. Now the only thing left for you to do is to add ice. To pick up your own bottle of The Manhattan: Barrel Finished Cocktail ($39.99) at stores around the country. - Esquire Magazine

NEW YORK, April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Esquire and Jefferson’s Bourbon today announced the launch of their first ever collaboration: The Manhattan: Barrel Finished Cocktail. Crafted with the editors of Esquire, this new pre-batched cocktail will be available at select retailers nationwide beginning April 1, 2015.

The new Esquire & Jefferson’s Manhattan: Barrel Finished Cocktail was conceptualized in 2013 byEsquire‘s Editor-in-Chief David Granger and Jefferson’s Bourbon founder Trey Zoeller, in an effort to provide bourbon enthusiasts with a barrel-finished bottled cocktail that enhances the experience of enjoying a classic. In search of delicious, oaky notes and a well-balanced flavor profile, Granger and Zoeller (aided by various Esquire staffers) tested dozens of recipes together until they narrowed down the options to just three recipes. Those three options were then aged for 90 days in bourbon barrels until just one stood out as a superiorManhattan. The finished product is comprised of six-year-old bourbon – 125 proof cut down to 82.3 – both sweet and dry vermouth, and barrel-aged, spiced cherry bitters. Enjoy it as you would anyManhattan: on the rocks or stirred and strained over ice.

“Esquire covers the wide-ranging interests of men and one of our primary passion points is drinking and the culture of drinking,” saidDavid Granger, editor-in-chief ofEsquire. “It’s been a joy working with Trey on finally putting our considerable drinking experience to some productive use. (It was also good to drink lots of his whiskey). And it’s particularly gratifying that our distinctive version of the classic cocktail tastes so damn good.”

The expertly crafted cocktail in a bottle was created for the modern man who appreciates the experience of a quality drink along with the ease of a pre-bottled cocktail.

“What I enjoyed most about making this Manhattan with Esquire was the collaborative process of creating a well-rounded cocktail that elevated the typical bourbon drinking experience,” said Trey Zoeller. “It took us over two years of experimentation and communication to hone in on a drink we’ve always wanted at our home bar but was never easily available, and we were finally able to create something that is both innovative and accessible.”

This is a joint partnership between Esquire, Jefferson’s and Hearst Brand Development. The cocktail collection will be available at select venues and retail locations both in-store and online nationwide. -- Bevnet

2012 Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow....$169.99

(12 bottles available)
Our second coolest micro-climate is our five-acre Gravelly Meadow vineyard. Originally a pre-historic river bed, this stony, gravelly soil drains rapidly and the vines struggle for moisture.

(18 bottles available)

Volcanic Hill is comprised of 8 acres of south facing hillside vineyard. It is the warmest of all our micro-climates. The color of the soil is gray, and the consistency is that of fluffy, volcanic ash, originally deposited from the eruption of Mt. Konocti 8 million years ago.
Volcanic Hill is the longest lived of our wines. Our winemaker describes these wines as "full bodied, loaded with intense ripe berry fruit, cassis, violets and a smoky richness, finishing with good length and firm tannins."
The Volcanic Hill bottling includes a small amount of the extra-ordinary Petit Verdot grape.
