USE LIQUOR 43 TO MAKE A BEER SHOT

Mini Beer Shots
INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 ounces Licor 43 - chilled
  • Heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
1.Start by filling a shot glass 2/3 full of chilled Licor 43. (I recommend using a shot glass that looks like a mini beer glass for the full effect. 
2.Then, create the “foam head” by adding a layer of heavy cream to the top of the Licor 43. You can do this by pouring on the cream very slowly. Another option is to pour the cream over the back of a spoon.
3.Finally, it's time to toast and enjoy!

Old Potrero Single Barrel Straight Rye

LAST CALL!!!
We had 204 bottles - only about 10 bottles left

Exciting discovery! GREAT PRICE!
While doing an inventory audit, Old Potrero found an almost 7 year old single barrel bottled and hidden away in their warehouse.   Since we have done a number of single barrels with them, they offered it to us.  We jumped at the opportunity to grab this amazing barrel!   We scored it at a great price too, only $45 a bottle while their current single barrels all sell for $80 or more!!!

This will count as a TWCP Single barrel - so double points for the raffles.  I guess we did not officially pick this barrel, but it picked us!!!



Old Potrero Single Barrel Straight Rye....$44.99
129.62 proof
  • Barreled: 2/12/14
  • Bottled: 10/12/20
  • Cask #25
  • Age: 6 years 8 mos.
  • Pot Distilled
  • 100% malted rye mash bill


Even though the label says 4 years 6 months, but it is almost a 7 year old!!
"In regards to the age, our old Single Barrel Packaging all just said 4 years 6 months because that was the youngest we’d ever release and they created a label that would just be a catch all for all barrels. The label was made before barrel programs were prominent and didn’t consider all the information that consumers wanted to know about barrel selections." - Old Potrero

Big time Cotes du Rhone!
Great price for this wine!
2022 Isabel Ferrando Beatusille Cotes du Rhone Rouge...$29.99
Brilliant ruby-red. Fresh and energetic on the nose, displaying intense red fruit preserve and floral scents and a suggestion of white pepper.

Side Project Single Barrels


Update - if you got an order in - all orders are confirmed now --
We appreciate the sooner you can pick up the better - they take up a lot of room.

It was a process to get them all rung and organized.  After the dust settles in a week or so we might have some bottles left.  We will announce how we will release those, most likely BRC emails to start.  No reservations at this point.

Thank you to Cory and Karen King for doing this for us.  These are some very special barrels never to be seen again!!!

Domaine Clos St Jean - Chateauneuf du Pape

Limited Chateauneuf du Pape releases - new vintage



2023 Domaine Clos St Jean - Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc...$65.99
One of the best whites in the appellation, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is rich in texture while at the same time vibrant and fresh. Ripe citrus, lychee, crushed stone, and mint herb notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, has bright acidity, and a great finish. This is, as always, 25% each Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc that has its malolactic fermentation blocked and was brought up mostly in used Burgundy barrels.
Rated 96/100 Jeb Dunnuck

2022 Domaine Clos St. Jean - Clos St Jean Chateauneuf Du Pape Vielles Vignes...$65.99
Alluring and ripe, this oozes sweet melted licorice and wild cherry notes underscored by grilled apple wood, warm earth and brown bread. A savory leafy edge and salty mineral element fill in, with red tea and polished tannins maintaining a solid framework. Lush and broad, showing real intrigue. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Vaccarèse and Muscardin. Drink now through 2036. 3,500 cases made, 410 cases imported.
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator
The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes is along the same lines yet brings more mid-palate depth and richness. Kirsch liqueur, orange blossom, white pepper, Provençal garrigue, and gorgeous spice notes all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a deep, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. Based on 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 4% Vaccarèse, 3% Mourvèdre, and 3% Cinsault, it's a gem of a wine and in this is vintage appears to be a solid step up over the classic cuvée
Rated 93/100 Jeb Dunnuck

2022 Domaine Clos St. Jean - Clos Jean Ex Machina Chateauneuf du Pape...$135.99
This sublime and distinctive Châteauneuf offers waves of complex, concentrated flavor yet never feels heavy. Sanguine tones of bacon fat, grilled herbs, tobacco and cured meat layer atop warm plum and macerated cherry. Creamy, with beautiful textural appeal that goes on and on thanks to ultrafine tannins. Shows zero rough edges, with plenty of pleasure and smoky allure. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Best from 2026 through 2040. 380 cases made, 80 cases imported.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Spectator
Lastly, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Deus-Ex Machina shows a similar profile to the Combes des Fous, yet it brings another level of tannins and concentration. Kirsch liqueur, white flowers, sandalwood, cured meats, and graphite notes all shine here, and it's full-bodied, has a deep, layered, powerful, yet weightless profile, lots of ripe tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. This ripe, sexy, seamless, incredibly impressive beauty will compete with anything in the vintage. As usual, this cuvée is 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre, which is brought up in roughly 40% new demi-muids.
Rated 97/100 Jeb Dunnuck


2022 Domaine Clos St. Jean - Clos St Jean Combe Fous Chateauneuf Du Pape...$135.99
Kirsch liqueur, darker berries, new leather, ground pepper, and sweet garrigue all shine in the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Combes Des Fous, which shows the pure, focused, more elegant style of the vintage. It’s full-bodied, with ripe, polished tannins, flawless balance, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a gorgeous finish
Rated 96/100 Jeb Dunnuck

Tequila Tasting at The Wine and Cheese Place Lamp and Lantern



TASTE SIEMPRE "MUERTO", PLATA, AND REPOSADO WITH AMANDA BUXTON 
Saturday, February 1st from 1pm - 3pm
The Wine and Cheese Place Town & Country location

Our friend and tequila educator Amanda Buxton will walk you through the Siempre line coming from NOM 1414 including their new release, Muerto! Amanda just visited NOM 1414 and has the full scoop! We will also have some other gems from NOM 1414....next week's email will have more details. 

Siempre Tequila Exclusivo Muerte....$124.99
Introducing Siempre Exclusivo Muerto, the latest ultra-limited release in Siempre’s Exclusivo series, crafted for those who seek the extraordinary. Co-founder Alex Lacroix and Master Tequilero Sergio Cruz (of the renowned Vivanco family distillery, NOM 1414) have pushed the boundaries of traditional tequila production, delivering an experience unlike anything seen in modern tequila.

Muerto embarks on a world-first journey by allowing the yeast to die, evolve, and rest over a three-week “afterlife,” building complexity much like the malolactic fermentation found in the finest rums. The process is enhanced by the Mozart method, playing classical music during fermentation, which helps deepen the connection between agave and yeast.

Two Distinctive Batches:
  • Batch One: Agave from the Puerta de la Carreta fields, wild-fermented for 28 days.
  • Batch Two: Agave from Capulin Verde, wild-fermented with fibers for 32 days.
These batches are combined at still-strength, filtered through volcanic rocks, and bottled at a powerful 109 proof without dilution. The result is a rich, bold tequila with layered complexity, perfect for aficionados who appreciate the raw, unfiltered expression of artisanal tequila. Only 4,500 bottles available, offering a rare chance to experience the afterlife of tequila.

Also sampling these GREAT values!
Siempre Plata $37.99
Reposado $43.99
