Lallier Champagne Brut

Blend: 70% wines from 2018 | 30 % reserve wines
Grape variety: 56% Pinot Noir | 44% Chardonnay
Aging: min. 36 months

Champagne Lallier calls home to two complementary locations in iconic Grand Crus region: the first in Aÿ, which houses our aging cellar, and the second in Oger, Côte des Blancs, where the Maison’s contemporary production facilities are held. Each location compliments the other, marrying aged old techniques with creative innovation.

Lallier Champagne Blanc de Blancs...$99.99 / 750ml

With 60% of the Chardonnay in this wine coming from the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, it is no surprise that it is rich and full in the mouth. The wine has weight along with a crisp minerality. Taut and tense, the aftertaste suggests that the wine will improve in bottle for a few months.

Rated 91/100 Wine Enthusiast

Attractive savoury Blanc de Blancs style with sweet caramel aromas. Palate with layers of butter, lemon with hints of strawberry.

Winemaker Notes
Inviting and expressive aromas of bright red cherry, and raspberry are combined with hints of savory ground clove spice and graham cracker. Nuances of graphite and sea salt bring another dimension that come together with a bright acidity driving a long, lively finish.

Urban Chestnut Brewing Company Count Orlok Pumpkin Ale

Urban Chestnut Count Orlok Black Pumpkin Ale...$8.99 / 4pk 16oz cans

Count Orlok Black Pumpkin Ale – That’s right (again)! For the first time ever (again), Urban Chestnut is brewing a pumpkin beer and while it is officially a Revolution Series beer, it does have a little German flare- Nosferatu (Bird of Death), aka Count Orlok was THE German Count Dracula. He was a blood-sucking vampire… but being German he must’ve enjoyed beer too, right? We believe it is so and thus have created a Black Pumpkin Wheat Ale in his honor… a bier noir if you will

This magnificent Tequila was made with the best agaves from the family estate and later aged in his favorite barrels and stored in glass containers for more than 20 years for a special commemoration. This Limited Edition is a ‘blend’ of one-third of Lot 89 and two-thirds of the best Añejo that we have produced in the last two decades, with the same origins and processes that our founder established more than 50 years ago. Resulting in an Exceptional Añejo!

2015 Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne

One of the biggest names!!

2015 Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne...$399.99
For the warm and dry vintage this has tremendous freshness and elegance. The complex nose of citrus blossom, mint, lemon and lime zest opens up slowly as this aerates in the glass. The wine’s ample structure is still quite firm, which is a vintage characteristic, the mousse very fine but also very lively for an eight-year-old champagne. Cristal fans will love this as it is, but a year or two more in the bottle will do a lot for the very long mineral finish of this youthful masterpiece. A cuvee of 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, picked from all 45 Cristal vineyard plots. Tasted at the Cristal vertical tasting at the champagne house on July 6th, 2023. Drink from release.
Rated 97/100 James Suckling
If the 2014 vintage was especially open and demonstrative, the 2015 Cristal is going to require more patience. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, crisp stone fruits, white flowers, crushed mint and subtle hints of buttery pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a deep, concentrated and rather introverted core of fruit framed by chalky extract and animated by a pretty pinpoint mousse. This is a serious, vinous Champagne that has considerable substance to age and may well evolve along the lines of the lovely 1985.

Blue Note Juke Joint Uncut -
Disclaimer: we do not have the batch they rated
While this is bottled in Memphis, Tennessee by B.R. Distilling, Blue Note Juke Joint is a Kentucky straight bourbon, and it’s a big one. That’s due in large part to being bottled at barrel proof, coming in at 58.75% ABV. The nose is fruit-forward, evoking freeze-dried strawberries, strawberry Blow Pop, cherry cobbler, pumpkin pie, and black tea with honey. The palate is hot, but not to its detriment, and it’s wonderfully creamy throughout. Chocolate-covered cherries are at the fore, joined by lemon-poppyseed muffin, fresh-squeezed lemon, grated ginger, brown sugar-cinnamon oatmeal, and a hint of licorice. The finish is long, inviting you to take another sip. —Julia Higgins

Woodinville Bourbon Whiskey

Woodinville Pot Distilled Bourbon Whiskey...$39.99
Compare to $40.99 at Total Wine and More
90 proof
This truly small-batch bourbon starts with traditionally grown corn, rye and malted barley. All of our staple grains are cultivated exclusively for us on the Omlin Family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grains are mashed, distilled, and barreled in our Woodinville® distillery, then trucked back over the Cascade Mountains to our private barrel houses, where Central Washington’s extreme temperature cycles promote the extraction of natural flavors from the oak. Prior to being coopered, the barrel wood is seasoned in open air, rain, wind, sun, and snow for eighteen months, softening the wood’s harsh tannins. The barrels are then slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enrich the wood’s desirable flavors. This meticulous process yields a truly hand-crafted spirit with aromas of crème brûlée and spice cabinet, as well as notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean on the palate with a sweet, lingering finish.

The Best Light Beer to Drink Right Now - The Wine Enthusiast Magazine!

KC Bier Co. Bier Co. Light...$10.99 / 6pk 12oz bottles
Bier Co Light is a lighter version of a German Pilsner at 3.5% ABV and just 107 calories per 12 ounces. This is the scaled-up, slightly-tweaked version of Pils Light, our collaboration brew with Bierstadt Lagerhaus and Schönramer. Low on calories and alcohol but high in character, this bier is refreshing and quaffable while still maintaining great KC Bier Co flavor.

The Best Light Beer to Drink Right Now - The Wine Enthusiast Magazine!
KC Bier made the list!
KC Bier Co Light (American Light Lager; KC Bier Co, MO)
Light beers don’t often have a lot of there, there. This delivers on the refreshing crispness of the style, but with a slightly elevated noble hop profile. That earthiness adds a pleasing bitterness to the palate that keeps any sweetness in check. Finishes with a bready, country bread malt smack. 89 Points.

Dauo Soul of the Lion

2020 Daou Soul of the Lion...$159.99
Impressively dark in the glass, this bottling pairs intense purple fruit and flower on this nose with more roasted, umami-laden aromas. The elegant palate is a master class in tannin management, proving firm in structure yet soft in mouthfeel. Flavors of blackberry jam, cocoa, walnut and cracked pepper ride a lingering acidity into the finish.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Enthusiast
The 2020 Soul Of A Lion, made from free-run juice, is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot matured for 22 months in 100% new French oak. It has a deep ruby color and pure aromas of blackcurrants, tobacco, truffle and thyme with touches of leather and graphite. The full-bodied palate has a pleasantly rustic texture and savory character, finishing with tobacco accents. Drink it over the next 3-5 years.

Great new Napa Cab!!

2020 Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon...$28.99
80% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Merlot 5% Petit Verdot

Aromas of brambly raspberry and lavender are layered with barrel notes of vanilla and toffee. Rich black plum and black cherry are at the forefront of a solid core of fruit that coats the palate, while an underlying note of mocha that compliments the bold, firm texture and full body. 60% new Oak ageing. Another amazing Cabernet that you won’t want to miss!!
Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo was the first European to explore present-day California, navigating along the coast of California in the 1500's. The name adorns many parks, schools, streets and buildings in California and still evokes the excitement of discovery.

Les Darons Languedoc Red Blend

2021 Les Darons Languedoc Red Blend....$16.99

A blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and the rest Carignan, the 2021 Languedoc Les Darons reveals a healthy ruby/purple hue to go with juicy, peppery, vibrant aromatics of red and blue fruits, some floral and sappy garrigue nuances, medium body, fine tannins, and outstanding length. This elegant, balanced, terrific 2021 will drink well for 5-6 years or more.
Rated 90/100 Jeb Dunnuck
A delicious blend of grenache topped with some carignan and syrah. It delivers aromas of redcurrants, blueberries, strawberries and mild spices. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Simple but silky with a fruity, succulent finish. Very drinkable now.
