Producer Description 

La Coleccin Mixteca Edicin 4 is a curated selection of small-batch agave spirits crafted in the rustic distilleries of the mountainous Mixteca region of Oaxaca and Puebla. Each bottling explores the maestro mezcaleros interpretation of subjecting agave endemic to the region to peculiar production methods and styles that have largely fallen out of favor in modern times.

This batch of agave Pizorra (a. Marmorata) was distilled by maestro mezcalero Delfino Tobn Meja in his hometown of San Pablo Ameyaltepec, Puebla. Along with friends and family members, Delfino wild-harvested these massive, white-striped agaves in the outskirts of his hometown, whose name roughly translates to "the mountain where water is born" in Nahuatl.

After harvesting, Delfino roasted the agave with tlahuicole firewood in an underground conical pit oven for four days. He then milled the cooked agave with a mechanical shredder and allowed them to ferment naturally with spring water for about a week. Once fermentation was complete, he distilled the mash and tepache once in a custom-made, hybrid 3-plated copper still. Proofed with heads, hearts, and holanda by Delfino. 

A cornerstone of the classic dry martini — Cinzano Extra Dry Vermouth has been crafted in Italy since 1757, bringing centuries of vermouth-making tradition to every bottle. Pale and crisp, it's defined by its delicate balance of dry white wine, aromatic herbs, and subtle botanicals, delivering a clean, refreshing character that elevates any cocktail it touches.

The nose offers fresh wild herbs, citrus zest, and a whisper of floral notes. On the palate it's bone dry and light-bodied, with gentle bitterness and a clean, lingering finish. Essential for any well-stocked bar cart — and equally enjoyable on the rocks with a twist of lemon.

Cipriani · Bellini · Venice, Italy

In 1948, Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of the legendary Harry's Bar in Venice, created the Bellini by mixing fresh white peach puree with Prosecco, a classic Italian sparkling wine. Named for the rosy hues in the paintings of Venetian master Giovanni Bellini, the cocktail became an instant signature of the bar and has been served at every Cipriani location around the world ever since. This bottled version uses the same quality ingredients as the original recipe, with no other aromas or flavors required.

An elegant and fresh bouquet leads into balanced sweetness and fragrant bubbles, with the smooth texture of white peach puree meeting the sparkle of Prosecco for a joyous, easygoing pour. It's the hero of leisurely brunches and relaxing afternoons: simply chill the bottle and pop the cork.

Producer Description

Ciroc Passion is crafted with vodka from fine French grapes that lend a distinctive citrus taste. Infused with the taste of the tropics, this is vodka bursting with fresh-tasting pineapple, passion fruit, and citrus. Limited.

Producer Description 

Crafted with flavor in mind, CÎROC Passion is distilled from fine French grapes and masterfully infused with an exotic blend inspired by the tropics. Featuring notes of pineapple, mango, citrus, hibiscus, and other natural flavors, it offers a taste experience that's both lusciously unique and elegantly smooth.

As a finishing touch, the vodka is encased in a bottle with a distinctive ombre colorway of purple and orange resembling the bright tones of sunset with sleek gold lettering that's sure to stand out on any table. 

Most vodka begins with grain. Cîroc begins with grapes — a distinction that sets it apart from virtually everything else on the shelf and delivers a smoothness that grain simply cannot replicate. Crafted in the Gaillac and Cognac regions of southern France, Cîroc sources fine French grapes and subjects them to five distillations, the final one in a tailor-made copper pot still — a technique borrowed from the world of Cognac and applied here with singular precision.

The result is an ultra-premium vodka of unmistakable character: lusciously smooth, with a clean and refined texture and delicate citrus aromatics that lift the nose without overwhelming it. Lightly sweet on the palate, it finishes with an elegance that justifies both the process and the provenance.

Snap Frost is the original expression — the one that built the reputation. At 80 proof, it is calibrated for versatility: exceptional neat or on the rocks, and a natural foundation for elevated cocktails that deserve a vodka worth tasting.

• Base: Fine French Grapes
• Distillation: Five times, finished in copper pot still
• Origin: France (Gaillac & Cognac regions)
• Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
• Format: 750ml

Serving Suggestions: Exceptional neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Vodka Martini, Cosmopolitan, or Vodka Soda. Pairs well with light appetizers, smoked salmon, or caviar.

Citadelle is one of France's most celebrated gin houses, distilled in Cognac using a 19th-century copper pot still and a signature blend of 19 botanicals sourced from around the world.

Crystal-clear in the glass, it delivers all the complexity of a great dry gin with a lush, berry-driven character that makes it as versatile as it is delicious.

Fresh and aromatic on the nose, with vivid cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, and the distinct sharpness of rhubarb layered over Citadelle's classic botanical backbone. On the palate, the red fruit swirls with juicy, tangy energy — bright, dry, and refreshing, with the depth and structure of 19 botanicals underneath. The finish is clean, fruity, and lingering.

Built on Citadelle's 19-botanical foundation — infused with cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, and rhubarb. Fruity, natural, and crystal-clear.

Winemaker Description

The Wine Advocate | The 2011 Hickinbotham Grenache is medium garnet-purple in color with an intensely scented nose of black raspberries, black cherries and violets as well as touches of cinnamon stick and rose hips.

Producer Description 

Before dusk, there is a delightful moment when darkness embraces the light. This precious moment inspired this combination of spirits, pouring into a shimmering glass decanter fused to a night-colored ceramic base. 

Clase Azul Tequila Gold is an incomparable tequila joven, a blend that combines Clase Azul Tequila Plata with a special reposado tequila matured in French oak casks and an eight-year-old Extra Añejo aged in American whiskey casks and finished in sherry casks.

Soft amber with golden sparkles. Medium body.

Agave syrup, green apple, orange peel, fresh fig, raisins, light note of almond and walnut. Toasted wood, fig, green olive, ginger, cocoa / dark chocolate.

Recommended with seafood and fish with high-fat content (tuna, salmon, octopus, lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams) cooked with butter and yellow lemon (avoid limes). Kalamata olive tapenade and brie cheese tapas. Semi-bitter or white chocolate with citrus jam or citrus ice cream.

Decanter |
The Clase Azul Tequila Gold decanter challenges the impossible: its shimmering glass is fused against a black ceramic base, a technique that took our experts 6 years to develop.

Producer Description 

Crystal clear with light straw-colored highlights. Full bodied. Aromas of grapefruit skin, fresh wood, rosemary, peanut oil, hints of butter and daisy flowers. Flavors of fresh wood, seaweed, lemon juice, pepper and light notes of tobacco. 

The vibrant cap of this decanter features beautiful representations of hummingbirds handcrafted using traditional lacquering techniques. Due to its technical and material complexity, our artisans dedicate up to ten days to its creation. 

Producer Description 

This creation symbolizes our journey: how far we’ve come these past 25 years as well as the brilliant future that awaits us. It is also a way for us to thank all the people who have been part of this journey: the talented artisans, all those who are part of the Clase Azul family, and, of course, everyone who has brought a small piece of our Exquisite Mexico into their homes.

To celebrate our legacy, we’ve created our first decanter completely painted in our distinctive cobalt blue color. Inspired by dandelion seeds being carried by the wind, its feathered motifs embody Clase Azul México's expansion across the world. Twenty-five of the brushstrokes that grace the surface of the decanter have been hand painted in platinum; one for each year of our history.

The tequila created for this edition pays homage to our signature Clase Azul Tequila Reposado. Our Master Distiller, Viridiana Tinoco, reimagined its creation to give it a special touch.

Part of the agave used to make this blend was milled using a traditional stone mill called a tahona, a practice that dates back to the origins of tequila.

In addition, the fermentation process was extended to accentuate the liquid’s citrus and fruity notes. This blend was aged for eight months in two different first-use American whiskey casks, each one imparting its own distinct and rich tasting notes.

Producer Description 

Intense amber in color, the Clase Azul Reposado presents aromas of wood, vanilla and toffee caramel. On the palate, it is silky, rich and smooth, offering notes of cooked agave, wood and vanilla.

Producer Description 

Fresh Oregon and Washington cherries are crushed, fermented, and distilled into clear, delicate Cherry Brandy, also known as Kirschwasser. In German, Kirschwasser translates to “cherry water”, and is an integral ingredient in Swiss fondue.

We use dark, sweet table cherries, giving the spirit a soft aroma of vanilla and almond. 

Producer Description 

100% malted rye. Full rye body. The roughness of most ryes is here tamed by the small cognac potstill. Fabulous.

The Berthier family has been farming the Loire Valley for five generations, with vineyards stretching from Sancerre to the Coteaux du Giennois along the river’s banks.

Cline Rock Carved Cabernet Sauvignon — Alexander Valley 2023

In prehistoric times, a rampaging Russian River carved the Alexander Valley — leaving behind sedimentary rock that defines the vineyard soils to this day, while the towering surrounding hills trap summer heat like an oven. It is this dramatic geological history that gives Rock Carved its name and its character. The wine is sourced from the Rio Lago Vineyard, owned and managed by the Horowitz family since 1990 — a site at the western foothills of the Mayacamas Mountain range that experiences one of the wettest microclimates within the Alexander Valley AVA. Planted in diverse clay-loam and silty-loam soils, the vineyard is cooled each evening by marine air moving in along the Russian River from the Pacific Ocean. The combination of daytime heat to ripen the grapes and cool evening air to preserve freshness and acidity is the key to producing ultra-premium quality Cabernet Sauvignon here.

Grapes are hand-harvested at night, sorted, and gently destemmed. Fermentation is carried out by native yeasts, warming to temperatures peaking at 100°F, with the wine left on skins for 24 days. After gentle pressing, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel and ages for 14 months in 50% new French oak. The result is full-bodied, multilayered, and genuinely complex: blackberry, black plum, and black currant, with cedar, leather, and mocha, balanced acidity, smooth rich tannins, and a long, powerful finish. James Suckling awarded it 91 points; Wine Enthusiast 90 points.

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Vinous 90 Points | The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Grillos Cantores hails from Requínoa in the Cachapoal Andes region. After a year in concrete vats, this bright purple wine unfolds currant and sweet briar notes along with a faintly balsamic layer. Dry, polished and light, this easygoing red offers fine-grained tannins with a lasting fruity/herbal finish — an unexpectedly light Cabernet from Cachapoal.

About Clos des Fous

Clos des Fous ("Enclosure of the Madmen") was founded in 2008 by four friends — including world-renowned terroir expert Pedro Parra — who were tired of hearing that Chilean wine was boring and industrial. They set out to make exciting wines from extreme terroirs with minimal intervention. Pedro holds a Ph.D. in terroir science and consults globally with vignerons like Jean-Marc Roulot.

The name "Grillos Cantores" means "Singing Crickets," a nod to the sound that fills this specific vineyard in Alto Cachapoal at the foot of the Andes.

Tasting & Pairings

Dark fruits (blackberry, plum), currant, sweet briar, and a faintly balsamic layer. Dry, polished, and surprisingly light-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a herbal finish. Serve at cellar temperature.

• Grilled lamb with rosemary — herbal notes in the wine mirror the seasoning.
• Steak with chimichurri — the wine's acidity stands up to vinegar and herbs.
• Aged cheddar — tannins cut through the fat in hard, salty cheeses.

The 2024 cuvée is a faithful expression of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir. Predominantly crafted from old-vine Grenache, it reflects the richness and depth of the Southern Rhône’s great wines. The bouquet reveals notes of black fruits, garrigue, and spices. The palate is full-bodied and refined, with silky tannins and impressive length. A wine of elegance and depth, built to age gracefully.

“One of the benchmark producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape…the consistent results have always been classic Châteauneuf-du-Papes that stand the test of time.”
—Robert Parker

“Consistently outstanding, classic Côtes du Rhônes and Châteauneuf du Papes emerge from Clos du Mont-Olivet, run by the incredibly talented and thoughtful Thierry Sabon for a number of years now.”
– Jeb Dunnuck

Memo Summary Notes

Varietals - Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Counoise, Vaccarèse, Terret, Picpoul, Muscardin

The Clos du Mont Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2024 is a standout vintage from one of the most traditional and respected estates in the Southern Rhône.

Pair with

• Traditional: Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, or wild boar stew.

Clos du Mont-Olivet · Côtes-du-Rhône · Vieilles Vignes · 2024

Clos du Mont-Olivet is one of the benchmark producers associated with Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and this Vieilles Vignes Côtes-du-Rhône shows the same classic Rhône sensibility in a more approachable bottle. The 2024 opens with expansive aromas of garrigue, cherries, blackberries, and light incense.

On the palate, raspberry and black cherry fill the mouth, supported by moderate tannins and a long, savory finish. The Grenache-led blend brings generous fruit, while Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Carignan add spice, structure, and depth.

James Suckling · 94 Points · 2023
Refined and earth-driven, showing tightly wound black-fruit aromas with underlying notes of graphite, bitter chocolate and cured meats. The palate is focused and pure with finely tuned tannins and a generous yet precise palate.

Wine Enthusiast · 94 Points · 2023
Expressive with the potential to age, this Cabernet captures the inky dark fruits, dark chocolate, and cascade of fresh herbs so classic to the cuvée, with the intensity and lengthy structure of the vintage.

Vinous · 92 Points · 2023
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a fabulous entry-level offering in this range. Bright, aromatic and punchy, the 2023 is seriously beautiful from start to finish. Rose petal, spice and new leather meld into a core of dark red/purplish fruit. There's a good bit of tannin, making this a pretty serious appellation wine.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate · 91 Points · 2023
A super value in ready-to-drink Napa Cab, Clos du Val's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is actually a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. Black cherries dominate the nose, joined by hints of cassis and tobacco leaf, while the medium- to full-bodied palate is firm without being hard or edgy and finishes long and silky.

Clos Henri · Estate Sauvignon Blanc · Marlborough · New Zealand · 2025

Clos Henri is the Marlborough outpost of the legendary Bourgeois family of Sancerre — and it shows in every glass. Planted at high density on a single estate in the Central Wairau Valley, where Otiran and Waimaungan glacial soils converge into three distinct terroirs — Wither Clay, Broadbridge Clay, and Greywacke Stones — this is organic Sauvignon Blanc with a French soul and a New Zealand heartbeat. The 2025 Estate earned 94 points from James Suckling and 93 from Wine Advocate, cementing its place among Marlborough’s most sophisticated whites.

The 2025 vintage was shaped by a cool, slow ripening season — overcast skies and lower temperatures through February and March — that delivered exceptional density and focus. The wine bursts with bright citrus: mandarin, yuzu blossom, meyer lemon zest, and pineapple, layered over acacia, hay, and a flinty, graphite-driven minerality. The palate is textural and round, with firm acidity, chalky structure, and a bone-dry, lingering mineral finish. Restrained, classy, and built to reward patience.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2025 

“Very elegant, superfloral and perfumed, with some flinty reduction, offering acacia blossoms, hay, fleshy lemons and a touch of elderberries. Medium-bodied with firm acidity giving structure and length. Attractive bitter-lemon note in the finish. Mineral and detailed with real focus. From organically grown grapes.”
— James Suckling · 94 Points

“The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc leads with graphite and cold tea, chalky tannins and dried grasses on the palate. The wine is far more subtle and restrained than many other Sauvignon Blancs tasted for this report, and this does fit with the assessment I hold for this producer over time. These are classy wines. This is a classy wine. Clos Henri is owned by the Bourgeois family of Sancerre (Domaine Henri Bourgeois), and it is clear that the sensibilities of their estate there are continued by their winemaker Damien Yvon here in Marlborough. This is an estate to put on your list. Clos Henri is a member of the Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW) group. 13.5% alcohol.”

“Quite restrained with subtle aromas of earth, green olive, green pineapple and a hint of gorse flowers. The palate harbours density and depth under the shell of acidity and phenolics. Gravel, hessian and wet stone complexity rise alongside a touch of dried spice on the bone-dry finish. Accessible and expressive, this mid-weight sauvignon oozes with sophistication.”

Clos La Coutale Cahors — Southwest France 2023

Clos La Coutale is one of Cahors’ most beloved and historic estates — a domaine whose 100 hectares of vines sit in the heart of the meanders of the Lot River, on alluvial soils of gravel and clay-limestone silica with a southwest exposure that protects against extreme cold. Cahors itself is one of France’s most ancient wine regions, established in Quercy by the Romans, who developed its production with such success that in 92 A.D. Emperor Domitian ordered half the vineyards torn out to protect Italian wine production — a decree the locals famously disobeyed. The 2023 Malbec is crafted in a hearty, rustic style that is simultaneously ready for immediate enjoyment and built to age — a savvy wine drinker’s benchmark for French Malbec at a value price.

The nose is warm and expressive: dark fruit, wild berries, earth, and a slightly wild streak that sets this apart from Argentine Malbec and signals the terroir of the Lot. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with excellent structure, supple tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. It holds its own alongside celebrated appellations and brings real presence to the table — the kind of Southwest French red that disappears fast.

"A hearty, rustic red from France’s southwest — this Cahors has everything a savvy wine drinker wants: ready for immediate consumption, excellent structure to age, and comes in at a value price. The 2023 vintage has a slightly wild streak, which goes perfectly with a medium-rare ribeye and roast rosemary potatoes." — Tom Wolf
