He has created a truly unique rum, with a rich body and notes of overripe fruit, and savory accents of nightshade and sea air

2023 Theodore Rex Santa Barbara Chardonnay....$29.99
Only 5 barrels produced!
The wine is a combination of fruit from the Sierra Madre Vineyard in Santa Maria and the Peake Ranch Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills. It all went through malolactic fermentation - with aging in all French barrels.
"Santa Barbara’s cool 2023 growing season produced exceptional Chardonnays. The wines are especially perfumed, with great fruit concentration. Rounded out by a kiss of French oak, the wine gains mid-palate weight before finishing crisp, once again showing it’s cool origins. This is a superb Chardonnay designed to enjoy with many different foods, but it’s really easy to drink by itself." - Adam Lee, winemaker


2023 Theodore Rex Sonoma County Pinot Noir....$31.99
The cool 2023 vintage provided the perfect conditions for outstanding Pinot Noir. The wine shows the complexity that accompanies a longer growing season, with concentrated red fruits and pitch-perfect acidity. A kiss of new French oak on the finish rounds out the wine - allowing it to be drunk by itself at the end of the day, or paired with a wide variety of medium bodied foods. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered A Special Wine for a Special Cause.
A collaboration between famed winemaker (and friend of the store) Adam Lee, The Wine and Cheese Place, and Olive + Oak.
Available exclusively at The Wine & Cheese Place, Spirit Wine & Craft and O + O Hospitality restaurants.  Selected by The Wine & Cheese Place and Olive + Oak. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation.

2023 Jean Marc Burgaud Morgon Cote du Py...$23.99
The haunting bouquet of violets, forest floor, red beets and berries holds you in its gentle grip so that you have to force yourself to take a sip. But when you do, the combination of great concentration and finesse is truly breathtaking. Dazzling mineral freshness in the almost endless finish. Fermented and matured in concrete tanks.

Doc Holliday 7 Year Bourbon Whiskey




Doc Holliday 7 Year Bourbon Whiskey...$99.99
75% Corn, 21% Rye and 4% Barley
114 Proof
153 bottles produced of this Single Barrel
Long before John Henry Holliday became known throughout these United States as "Doc" – and also "the slickest gunslinger in the west" – he was a darn good… dentist. Classically educated in Humanities and Mathematics, by 20, he graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (hence the nickname) from one of the top schools in the nation.

Today we know him as the symbol of loyalty in the Wild West and the hero of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Despite all the perils of the Frontier, he remained an even-tempered, well-mannered Southern gentleman until his untimely end at 36 years of age.

We salute Doc Holliday as the epitome of a true friend and a loyal companion.
