Bastianich Adriatico Pinot Grigio  
Lydia and Joe Bastianich would not put their name on something that was not top quality.
"Perfectly exposed hillside vineyards and rocky soil, located at the crossroads of the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, make all the difference in creating the first Pinot Grigio we are proud to call Bastianich."
Round and full-bodied with good mineral and acidic structure. Hints of ripe apple and pear.
"Pinot Grigio should be refreshing and delicious,
not thin and acidic! Ripe apple and great minerality on the broad, satisfying palate."
A perfect food wine. |
CHRISTO - Marietta Cellars
 
Full-bodied
yet surprisingly soft, this mouth filling wine offers plenty of thick,
juicy black fruits and pepper with intense notes of blueberries,
lavender, and dried flowers. There's not a hard edge, but the wine is
intense and richly textured. There's an earthy, volcanic aroma of tar,
smoke, and juicy, ripe blueberry notes.
This is a
killer
red blend - This blend is full of Rhone varietals such as syrah,
grenache, petite sirah and even a touch of viognier. The nose is
beautiful and unmistakable with dark, juicy fruit notes, particularly
blueberry and hints of lavender. This is a big wine on the palate with
its blueberry and black cherry fruit notes and soft, tantalizing
tannins.
Chateau Ducasse
 - White Bordeaux 
Hervé Dubourdieu's easy charm and modest disposition are complemented by his focus and ferocious perfectionism.
Americans
don't drink much white Bordeaux - we favor the reds - but we do like
Sémillion-Sauvignon Blanc blends. One thing is for sure: You're not
going to confuse this wine with a big, juicy Chardonnay. It doesn't
overpower, but for drinking with food, it's hard to beat.
Hervé
blends a high proportion of Sémillon (60%) and a splash of Muscadelle
(5%) with Sauvignon Blanc (35%), creating a rich, full, aromatic
mid-palate to complement the clean finish. These are the perfect go-to
whites that pair well with anything from fish to poultry, picnic fare to
Indian curries.
This may be your new favorite weekend white - please try it on Friday night.
NEW ARRIVALS
Corsair Triple Smoke
 Artisan Whiskey of the Year - Whisky Advocate 2013
Gold Medal San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2010
Owned
and operated by Andrew Webber and Darek Bell, Corsair Artisan
Distillery is located in Bowling Green, Kentucky as well as Nashville,
Tennessee.
Corsair
"Triple Smoke" is created by smoking malted barley in three different
ways - one smoked with cherry wood, the other smoked with peat, and the
third smoked with beechwood. Pot distilled and then barreled in new
charred oak, "Triple Smoke" has the sweetness and barrel notes of an
American whiskey and the rich smoke of a single malt.
Aromas
of toasted date bread, smoked jerky, roasted nuts and chocolate lead to
nuanced flavors of fruit, toffee and peat. The finish is long and
persistent with notes of almond brittle, smoke and peppery spices.
Drink Different - if you enjoy a nice cocktail you need this on your bar.
Schonauer Apple Liqueur
This product is typical German
specialty and ranks among the best selling brands of its kind in
Germany. It can be consumed straight, as well as on the rocks or mixed
with soda, tonic or in a variety of cocktails.
Schönauer
Apple Liqueur was popularized by German university students in the
1970s as the only way to start a party. This is a delicious mix of
Germany's best apples and grain spirits. In 2003, Schönauer received a
Gold Medal and 95 point rating from the Beverage Testing Institute. 2nd
place got an 83. You can compare apples to apples but Schönauer is in a
class by itself. They stated that Schönauer was sweetly tart, with baked
apple flavors, and almost no discernable alcohol taste. For those who
claim to love Green Appletinis, think about when you bite into an apple.
What color is it? Shouldn't your appletini be the same color? If it's
made with Schönauer, it will be the color of real apples. Schönauer
contains no artificial colors or flavorings.
Put this into the mix this holiday season.
