Was $6.99 - we got in 10 cases
Batch #8
Salvation. The name of two intricate Belgian-style ales, created by us, Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River Brewing and Adam Avery of Avery Brewing. After becoming friends a few years ago, we realized we both had a Salvation in our lineups. Was it going to be a problem? Should one of us relinquish the name rights? “Hell, no!” we said. In fact, it was quickly decided that we should blend the brews to catch the best qualities of each and create an even more complex and rich libation. In April 2004, in a top secret meeting at Russian River Brewing (well, actually it was packed in the pub and many were looking over our shoulders wondering what the hell was going on), we came up with the perfect blend of the two Salvations. Natalie, Vinnie’s much more significant other, exclaimed, “We should call this Collaboration, not Litigation Ale!” “Perfect,” we shouted! We celebrated deep into the night (or is that morning?). Fast forward to November 14, 2006. After talking about it for over two years, we finally decided to pull the trigger and Vinnie made the journey to Avery Brewing to brew his Salvation exactly as he does in his brewery." -- Avery

Buffalo Trace - 3 different White Dogs






Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1....$14.99 / 375ml
"In Kentucky, buffalo carved a pathway followed by America's first explores. Those brave pioneers distilled whiskey using traditional methods and drank it right off the still. They called it White Dog. This raw distillate was clear, un-aged and had a hint of sweet corn. Later distillers discovered this spirit was perfect for aging--creating what we know today as fine Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. We're still making whiskey on the spot where ancient buffalon once crossed the Kentucky River and following centuries of time-honored distilling tradition. Enjoy this White dog the way Americans did more than 200 years ago." -- Buffalo Trace








Buffalo Trace White Dog Wheated Mash...$14.99 / 375ml
William Larue Weller was a distilling pioneer. He took a traditional bourbon recipe and substituted wheat where rye was normally used. This created a soft mellow spirit perfect for sipping.

This raw distillate was clear, un-aged and hinted of wheat and sweet corn. Enjoy this wheat recipe White Dog the way William Larue Weller and early Americans did more than a century ago.

This one was hugely popular last year!
True Provence Rose!

Elegant pale color with traditional salmon-pink tints. Fresh fruit nose of white peaches with hints of spice evolving into aromas of apricot, guava, and exotic fruits. Full on the palate with good acidity - a crisp rich wine with flavors typical of the unique Chateau Saint-Pierre soil. Complex and balanced with a luscious long finish.    Winemaking: The grapes are hand picked and macerated in a vat for 18 hours. The temperature is strictly controlled at 14ºC. The grapes are gently pressed and decanted for 24 hours before alcoholic fermentation. The rosé wine then undergoes malolatic fermentation to bring out the earth aromas and develops the roundness and length on the palate. The wine is then kept in vats until bottled. Pairings: Fish & Shellfish, Pasta, Sushi, Asian, Pork, Pizza, Cheese & Crackers, Chicken & Turkey, and Salads. 

TWCP / Buffalo Trace Single Barrel XIV


Our next single barrel that we chose has arrived!
TWCP Single Barrel - Buffalo Trace Bourbon Volume XIV...$22.99
Buffalo Trace has always been one of our favorite Bourbons, that is why we are on our 12th barrel. This particular barrel was a real stand out when we tasted it a few months back. It is always interesting to taste single barrels and the difference between them. We felt this barrel was superior to the others in the batch. It has a lot of vanilla and sweet honey on the nose. The flavor leans towards toffee and caramel. The finish lets you know you are drinking a great bourbon, it is spicy and lingering. What a bargain!

More 2015 Rose wines





2015 Domaine Le Pive Gris Rose...$15.99

30% Grenache Gris, 30% Grenache Noir, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
Orange blossom, white peach and hints of rose petal all emerge from the 2015 Domaine le Pive Gris Rose. This medium-bodied, supple, polished beauty is perfectly balanced, has integrated acidity and a clean, classy finish. It's terrific Rose to enjoy over the coming summer months.
Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate


Nestled in the wilderness of the Camargue national park, Domaine le Pive is comprised of 113+ acres of organically farmed vines, with a modern, state of the art winery and historic Romanesque chapel at its center.  The plentiful sun, marine winds and distinctive sandy soils (“sables sauvages”) result in fresh, aromatic, personality-filled wines.
Tasting Notes:
Pale in color, but offering plenty of aromatic intensity, with loads of strawberry, raspberry fruit, a touch of earth, spice and mineral character, and a hint of banana. Bone dry. Finishes long and clean, with great freshness.  Excellent on its own and with fish/shellfish, this versatile wine has surprising intensity and will also stand up to more substantial meals (BBQ, grilled meats). A great summer picnic wine!




2015 Château du Donjon Rosé....$14.99
40% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 30% Cinsault.
The Cinsault vines average 55 years in age, the Grenache 35, and Syrah 20+ years.   Situated in Minervois, one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the Languedoc, Château du Donjon has been in the Panis family for 500 years. Jean Panis took the reins from his father, Guy, in 1996 and has taken the estate to new heights, with the historic 1998 vintage marking the beginning of a golden era that continues to this day.
Tasting Notes:
Donjon’s classic, bone-dry rosé offers aromas of strawberry, cherry and plum, with a silky texture, and a long, piquant finish.  Excellent on its own, with salads, and with omelettes, it can also to stand up to chicken, sausage or ham.








2015 Château de Lancyre Le Rosé...$17.99
50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Cinsault.
Cherry, strawberries, wild herbs and even hints of passion fruit emerge from the 2015 Languedoc Pic Saint Loup le Rose, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, bright acidity and a clean, classy finish. This beauty has the freshness and purity to drink nicely on its own, but the complexity and depth to pair with any number of summer dishes.
Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate


A big rosé! Raspberry and pear aromas on the nose, with distinctive spicy, minty garrigue notes. Big, bold and firm on the palate, ending with a long, clean finish.  A rosé for year round drinking! Excellent on its own, it is also a great food wine – pair with hearty salads, grilled vegetables, kebabs, stuffed tomatoes or charcuterie.
