Can de la Calle Mexican Agave Wine

Agave wine!

Can de la Calle Mexican Agave Wine....$19.99 / liter
Introducing the latest project from Melly Barajas of La Gritona Tequila: CAN DE LA CALLE 24% ABV agave wine! Named after the dogs that Melly adopts from the streets of Guadalajara, this agave wine is wine made from pure agave that is fermented to 7.5% ABV. Melly then raises its alcohol content by blending in her own Blanco Tequila

Melly has been producing agave wine for over 20 years, and this is her first in-house brand. She has spared no expense in the production and has put all of her expertise into the highest quality agave wine she has ever crafted.

CAN DE LA CALLE begins with 9 to 10 year old local mature agave that is cooked for 24 hours and then rested for another 24 hours before being crushed and fermented into a simple wine with an ABV of 7.5 percent. The fermentation process for CDLC is identical to the initial fermentation process for any of Melly's tequilas. Unlike most wine, it is never rested in barrels. It is the same nascent wine pulled from the agave fermentation vats that would usually end up being reduced in stills to make a tequila. This wine is then mixed with Melly's own 100% agave tequila to raise the A.B.V. to the desired alcohol content.
Agave wine is a lower alcohol relative of traditional tequila and is often used in establishments that have beer and wine licenses that can not serve liquor. It is fantastic mixed as a substitute for tequila in any of your favorite tequila cocktails. Melly is so proud of her work on this project that confidently proclaims CAN DE LA CALLE to be the FIRST agave wine in the world that truly can be enjoyed alone or on the rocks.

Anchor Brewing Steam Beer....$9.99 / 6pk
The Beer That Started It All
A true San Francisco icon, Steam Beer is America’s original craft beer, named for the 19th century practice of fermenting beer outdoors due to the lack of refrigeration. As legend has it, the chilly San Francisco night air naturally cooled the fermenting beer, creating the visual of steam rising from the brewery rooftop.

Casas del Bosque Carmenere

Grape: Carmenere

2020 Casas del Bosque Carmenere...$14.99
Intense purple color with violet hues. The wine shows lively and vibrant, with notes of tobacco and spices. The typical green bell pepper note, characteristic of this variety, is well blended with spices from the barrel. On palate there is an equilibrium and a coherence with the nose; a sensation of volume, ripeness and soft tannins. An excellent representation of its origin.
Red berries and nutmeg shape the nose. The palate reveals subtle red plum and thyme framed by smooth tannins and good acidity. The lasting finish features hints of chocolate.

Next lowest price on Wine Searcher is $32.00
Created from a single grape variety, Portugal’s most noble Touriga Nacional, Pôpa TN shows off a more modern side of pure Douro.   Full‐bodied and super smooth, the tannins have become softened by oak and by time to deliver a compote‐like concoction, dripping with pruny notes that give way to a surprising floral finish.  Very concentrated from the very low yields from this winery.  Oak treatment: 6 months in new french oak
Sitting alongside one of the most privileged locations on the Douro River, Quinta do Pôpa creates exquisite wines with national grape varieties. Born from nature and tradition, from the harmonious wedding between soil, climate, and the art of man, these noble yet global wines will surprise the palate one sip at a time.

Checking in as a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest a handful of varieties, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape was brought up in a mix of foudre and older barrels.

2020 Domaine de Beaurenard Chateauneuf du Pape....$69.99
Compare to $72.99 at Total Wine and More

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is terrific, offering classic darker berry fruits as well as peppery garrigue and sappy flower notes. As with the Boisrenard release, this has plenty of tannins and structure, but it’s beautifully balanced and has remarkable purity as well as a great finish. The classic cuvée is 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, with the aging mostly in foudre and old barrels.

The art of brewing
Lower Bavarian brewcraft: For almost 500 years, Arcobräu has been brewed in Moos, at the very heart of lower Bavaria where the Danube and the Isar meet. Surrounded by rolling fields of barley and wheat with the dark hills of the Bavarian forest in the distance, the location is idyllic.

7.2% ABV
Our CORONATOR. An extra strong dark beer known as an old Bavarian Doppelbock which was historically brewed for Carneval and in Lent with a wort over 18%. Malty in flavour and smooth.
