Quinta do Vesuvio - the Queen of the Douro!

Known by many as 'The Queen of the Douro', the property's magnificent house, chapel, and winery were built in 1827 – almost two centuries ago – and Vesúvio’s vineyards have been considered among the most important in the Douro throughout its long history. Forged by one of the most famous women of Porto, Dona Antonia Ferriera, this historic property in the hot and dry upper Douro produces phenomenal wines that tend toward richness and intensity while maintaining elegance. 

Since its inception in the 19th century, Quinta do Vesúvio has been recognized for producing outstanding wines with unique character and ageing capacity. This unwavering focus on quality is still the cornerstone of our approach to winemaking today. To this day, all the Vintage Ports are still made in the original winery using traditional foot treading.

Reggiano Alert

One of greatest cheeses in the world!

There is no substitute - this is the best Parmesan. 

Parmigiano Reggiano...$19.99/lb

Parmigiano Reggiano is produced exclusively in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna to the left of the Reno river, and Mantua to the right of the Po river: this is the area hosting the farms where the cattle are fed on locally grown forage. The feeding of cattle complies with the norms of a strict specification that bans the use of silage, fermented feeds and animal flour.
The story of Parmigiano-Reggiano is a long one, and also a slow one, following the natural rhythm of the seasons.
In fact, the minimum maturation time is 12 months, the longest among all the PDO cheeses, and only at this point can it be decided if each individual wheel is worthy of the name it was given at its birth, and therefore continue the maturation up to 24, 36, 40 months and more.
After 12 months, the Consortium experts carry out a test called “quality inspection” on all the wheels: each wheel is tapped with a hammer and the trained ear of the quality inspector recognises any defects inside the cheese that may compromise quality.
The conforming wheels are marked with the hot-iron brand thus becoming Parmigiano Reggiano. All identifying marks and signs are removed from any wheels which do not meet the PDO requirements. Read More Here

Trip down memory lane
Over the years, we have taken some of these empty whiskey barrels and aged all kinds of stuff including Beer, Maple Syrup, Coffee, Vanilla and honey in them

Back in 2011 we released our first Barrel Aged beer. We selected a Buffalo Trace Single Barrel and then took the fresh unwashed barrel to Schlafly and they aged their Quad in it! This is first of its kind done in Missouri and led to others following suit. Many said this is one of the first BA beers in the country done where a retailer buys the bourbon and sends the barrel to a brewery to make a beer exclusively for them.   The rest is history!



Here are some pictures of some previous picks over the years!!!

 

Limited Rum from Costa Rica

 

Great price!!!

Ron Centenario 30th Anniversary Limited Rum...$119.99 / 700ml

Compare to $164.99 at Total Wine & More STL
This is getting a lot of hype on many rum review sites like rumratings.com !
Ron Centenario 30 is a luxurious solera blend that perfects its fruity aroma and woody essence through years of aging. With a great body and bouquet, this limited edition is exclusive for lovers of excellence.
Amber color. On the nose there are red fruits, almonds with vanilla, chocolate, tobacco, wood and smoked. Creamy and very silky, with a great bouquet, long lingering on the palate, fruity and with notes of chocolate.
Ron Centenario are a line of rums produced in Costa Rica made from sugar cane juice as opposed to molasses. This would make it a kind of rhum agricole French style of rum or perhaps a Brazilian cachaca style of rum. Centenario 30yr Edicion Limitada is their premium expression aged in the solera method, which calls for retaining a portion of the oldest barrel (in this case, 30 years) and blending with the next oldest barrel.

2021 Tablas Creek Cotes de Tablas Blanc

2021 Tablas Creek Cotes de Tablas Blanc...$32.99
The 2021 Côtes de Tablas Blanc is the best iteration of this cuvée I have ever tasted. A blend of 44% Viognier, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Marsanne and 10% Roussanne, it offers pure, slowly blossoming aromas of baked quince and peaches, mushroom powder, Manuka honey, roasted almonds and streaks of flint. The full-bodied palate is a harmonious symphony of highly concentrated, savory flavor layers, mouthwatering acidity, an alluring, velvety texture and a very long, flavorful finish. 1,215 cases were made.

High West High Country American Single Malt

High West High Country American Single Malt...ONLY...$59.99

WAS $74.99
An American single malt whiskey distilled and blended by High West in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah
ABV: 44%
Proof: 88
Welcome, single malt lovers! You are holding High Country™ American Single Malt made in our copper pot stills high in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. As admirers (and imbibers) of the famed single malt whiskies of Scotland, we wanted to create a uniquely crafted version of an American single malt. To provide the robust, flavor-forward profile more typical of American whiskeys and of our High West style, High Country™ American Single Malt is distilled “on-the-grain.” This means that we leave the grain in during fermentation and distillation, instead of filtering it out. In the tradition of American and Scottish whiskey making, we use both freshly charred and second-use oak barrels during the maturation stage. These techniques produce a whiskey that shows its distinctive and delicious American qualities with a heavier mouthfeel, roasted malt character, and balanced complexity. High Country™ American Single Malt is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water while appreciating a magnificent western vista.

High West is Utah’s first legal distillery since 1870 and the world’s only ski-in gastro-distillery. If you find yourself in Old Town Park City, please stop (or ski) by to visit us. We’d love to share our passions with you: the American West, our contemporary western victuals, American roots music, and, of course, pairing all the above with our greatest passion—superb whiskey. Better yet, you ought to come out to our distillery in the mountains of Wanship, Utah. It’s a celebration of cowboys and the American West.

Hillrock Single Malt is handcrafted in small batches from naturally grown Hillrock estate barley, which has been traditionally floor malted on-site in the first new malthouse built at a USA distillery since Prohibition. Our estate grain is then milled, fermented, small-batch pot distilled, aged and bottled all at our Hudson Valley Estate. The award winning Field-to-Glass® artisanal whiskey exhibits the Estate's signature terroir of cinnamon and clove, layered with caramel and vanilla. Expressions smoked with imported Speyside Scotland peat exhibit a complex, lingering smokiness with notes of tobacco, leather and campfire.

Hillrock was founded by Jeffrey Baker with the help of Master Distiller Dave Pickerell (formerly of Maker’s Mark).
Hillrock is proud to be one of the few “field-to-glass” whiskey producers in the world and the first USA distillery since before Prohibition to floor malt and hand craft whiskey on site from estate grown grain.

Peerless Bourbon Small Batch....$9.99 / 200ml

was...$24.99 / 200ml
Peerless Kentucky Straight Bourbon upholds the promise of producing top-notch spirits from the historic distillery. Unlike rye, which features more hay and pepper, Peerless® Bourbon is rooted in fruits, florals, and oaks. The nose features citrus, cedar, and honeysuckle as well as a nice balance of spicy oak. The first sip is that of caramel and toasted oak before a multitude of notes from around the flavor wheel show up on the palate. The finish showcases an enduring duel between sweet and spicy notes as citrus, florals, and sweet oak tussle with dry cocoa, cinnamon, and spicy oak. The result is an amazing whiskey - fascinating for everyone from beginners to connoisseurs.
Every drop of Peerless Whiskey is honestly crafted, never sourced. Never chill-filtered.
Strictly sweet mash. Barrel proof. No water added. Made in the USA.
