Compare to $469.99 at Total Wine and More (price checked 4/12/25)
A Distinctive Nature: Shaped by the climatic extremes of Northern Mexico’s little-explored highlands, this icon possesses a singular richness mirrored by its striking decanter. This mezcal is artisanally made with cenizo agave endemic to the semi-arid highlands in the state of Durango in Northern Mexico. Mezcal Clase Azul made from wild Cenizo Agave, grows wild in the State of Durango where the extreme climate, the rich minerals of its soil, and the source of natural springs in the area, give particular force and complexity to its notes, making it an entirely different mezcal than what is produced in the rest of Mexico. They do not buy their juice, the own and produce it. In addition, its unique and colorful top is hand-crafted by artisans belonging to the Wixarika or Huichol culture. Each piece that a Huichol artisan creates, using beeswax, resin, a needle, and individually placed beads, in a special way represents their roots and their traditions that race back to ancient times. In this instance, combining images that together reference the origins of mezcal.

Turley Rose of Zinfandel

New and Limited! The BEST White Zinfandel you will ever taste! 

This is not your Grandma's White Zin!

2023 Turley Rose of Zinfandel...$23.99/750ml

We select a few of our Zinfandel vines to pick early (at 19 brix) to make this vivid, dry rosé. Pale rose petals and fraise du bois with a touch of petrichor on the nose. The palate is high in acid, low in alcohol, well-structured and thoroughly refreshing. Fermented in stainless steel, then aged only in used French barriques. Though akin to Provençal rosés in the way it’s made, this wine is distinctly Californian. White Zinfandel has a good heart but a bad reputation; hopefully we can help change that. --winery notes

This wine is made with the same thoughtful attention as Turley's award-winning red Zin's!

Sporting a glimmering light to medium core with a light pink rim, this stunning Pinot Noir pops with notes of black cherries, red plum, anise, grated orange peel, sweet baking spice, and dried rose petals. Balanced texture across the palate. - International Wine Review

2022 Cristom Pinot Noir Eileen Vineyard...$79.99/750ml
Eileen is at the top of the hill, staring out towards the Coast Range. This wine is a picture of elegance, and the turbulence from the Van Duzer Corridor moves through the clusters and vines. It's satiny, with spiced aromatics, wild herbs and bright tart cranberries. The site's higher acids lift the silky mouthfeel, it comes together beautifully. Blue fruits, wild spearmint and Chinese five spice frame an elegance of red berries and pine bough freshness. The finish shows a sweetness of berries and a note of green peppercorn. - Decanter Magazine

2022 Cristom Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard...$79.99/750ml
The 2022 Pinot Noir Paul Gerrie Vineyard offers more lifted, savory, and deep aromatics, with an almost Nebbiolo-like structure, with an angular feel to its notes of black raspberries, wild earth, and alpine forest herbs. It has angular bright acidity, as well as lots of tension and linear drive, a stony, salty, mouthwatering feel, coiled tannins, and a clean, savory finish. It needs time to unwind.

Petrolo Boggina A Sangiovese on Sale

 Great price for this amazing Sangiovese!

2021 Petrolo Boggina A Sangiovese...$54.99 - WAS $79.99

100% Sangiovese aged in amphora

Grapes are hand-harvested and then further selected on a sorting table. The wine undergoes a two-week open-air fermentation with indigenous yeasts in two terracotta amphorae of 300 and 500 liters. The amphorae are then hermetically sealed, and the wine is left on its skins for eight months. After this eight month period, the skins are removed, and aging continues in amphorae for another five months. The natural porosity of the terracotta allows for a slow ingress of oxygen into the wine, avoiding excess reduction. No sulfites are added during this process, as the extended contact of the wine with the skins establishes a natural level of protection against oxidation.

The 2021 Boggina A, 100% Sangiovese in amphora, is brilliant. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2021 captures all the magic of the year in its finely cut, chiseled personality. Once again, Luca Sanjust and his team have turned out a stunning, vivid Sangiovese that is a far cry from earlier vintages, when this wine was often much less pure.
Rated 96/100 Vinous Media

Sanguine, earthy and alive on the nose, with the warm density of dried cherries and dried cranberries shot through with tang of gunpowder and black pepper. Orange zest and more pepper and metal lift red cherries and red plum skin off the palate, which seems to vibrate with energy and acid. Immediately delicious, with the promise of yet more elegance to come.
Rated 96/100 Wine Enthusiast

This is Sangiovese that has been fermented and aged in amphorae made with clay from Impruneta, Tuscany. It sees eight months of skin contact. The Petrolo 2021 Val d'Arno di Sopra Bòggina A was born in what vintner Luca Sanjust describes as a difficult year for farming but one that ultimately gave great results. The wine shows an especially tight and firm character that becomes almost Burgundian with time, with floral notes and blood orange. Sulfites are reduced to a minimum in order to give the lift and punchiness that works so well.

Chattanooga Whiskey

We are proud to introduce Chattanooga Whiskey to St. Louis!!

Chattanooga Tennessee High Malt Bourbon 91 proof...$31.99
Chattanooga Whiskey 91 is our signature Tennessee High Malt recipe - our malt-forward approach to bourbon. Selected among the first 100 barrels from our Experimental Distillery, this original "Barrel 91" recipe is comprised of at least 25% specialty malted grains and is crafted to highlight the complexity of our ingredients through each step of the process.
Made from 4 grains, including 3 select specialty malts, Tennessee High Malt starts with an attemperated 7-day fermentation. This extended process highlights both the rich, high-malt character while also adding a nuanced, fruity complexity to the spirit. After fermentation, each batch is carefully distilled at low proofs in our custom 30ft. column still before being laid to age in two types of charred & toasted oak barrels. This combination of cooperage imparts a balanced, confection-rich character to the aged whiskey, while also harmonizing with its malty-rich character.  After aging more than 2 years, Chattanooga Whiskey 91 utilizes our version of the solera finishing process - bringing together nearly 100 barrels into a 4000-gallon, charred, white oak Solera finishing barrel, which rarely goes empty.*
Mash Bill: Yellow Corn, Malted Rye, Caramel Malted Barley & Honey Malted Barley
Age: Greater than 2 years
Proof: 91 (45.5% ALC/VOL)
Cooperage: Toasted & Charred Oak Barrels, 53 gallon

Chattanooga Tennessee High Malt Bourbon 111 proof...$39.99
Cask 111: Tennessee High Malt

Comprised of at least 25% specialty malted grains, each 6-10 barrel lot has been selected to highlight the subtle batch-to-batch variation of this distinctly cask-forward bourbon.
Note: By omitting the filtration process, our whiskey retains every bit of character captured from its long maturation. Therefore, each bottle occasionally captures a small amount of barrel sediment.

• Mash Bill: Yellow Corn, Malted Rye, Caramel Malted Barley & Honey Malted Barley

The result is a bold reinvention of rye, brimming with sweet and savory notes of candied fruit, herbs, and spice.

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.

Perfect Champagne!!! Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé

Perfect 100/100 Champagne!!!
Make it a very special Easter, Mother's Day, Graduation!

2013 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé...$574.98 / 750ml
2013 Louis Roederer Cristal Rosé...$1,299.99 / 1.5 liter Rare Magnum
The 2013 Cristal Rosé from Louis Roederer is one of the most complete wines to be found in Champagne in this vintage, so utterly pure and precise that I would run the risk of exhausting superlatives trying to express its clarity. Displaying a pale hue, it soars from the glass with a bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity, featuring notes of tangerine zest, raspberry and rose petals mingling with peeled almonds and spices. Enjoyed from magnum, disgorged in February 2024, the wine’s persistent palate offers a bright, vibrant core of fruit, refined mousse and fine-boned structure, with racy and fresh acidity and a long, chalky finish. “With 2013, I was confident from day one, which was not the case with 2008,” recalls Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon, and the result in the glass precludes any argument about it—the 2013 Cristal Rosé is a wine that’s structurally complete, deep and multifaceted, even more spectacular than the white 2013 Cristal. When I asked William Kelley why he gave 99 points to 2013 if he rated the 2008 Cristal Rosé with 100, he for a moment insisted to me that it was the other way around.

2020 Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett Feinherb...$23.99
A whole garden of fresh herbs with notes of honeydew melon and wild berries make this a very attractive and complex, drier style of Kabinett. Vibrant and mineral, but with moderate acidity in the Mosel context, yet easy enough to give this very charming freshness at the long, slatey finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The slightly sweet aroma offers a hint of spearmint. Grapefruit peel astringency leads into an herbaceous midpalate, finishing brisk and minty alongside a hit of ginger heat. This hits all the right notes for a top-flight Martini. It's a smallbatch gin made with citrus, elderflower and California bay leaf.
