La Muse Verte Le Pastis d'Autrefois 750 ml
This Pastis has no added sugar, and all of the color comes from the maceration of the herbs. The nose and palate show off the natural sweetness that anise provides and, while you certainly could add sugar, the only thing we recommend is a couple of cubes of ice. This family recipe from 1920 is the fruit of intense research and delicate blending of about eight plants reminiscent in flavor and color to the original absinthe. The grande absinthe (wormwood) brings out the fresh bitterness, but it really is the blending with the other plants that gives a perfect balance of the bitterness, the alcohol and the aromas. It is one of the rare absinthes on the market with the historical alcohol content of 68%.
It’s the only absinthe made with totally fresh-cut, baby absinthe leaves (used within 5 minutes of harvest) grown on the property. This is a unique particularity from the original recipe, which gives the liquor a beautiful luminescent jade color. All the botanicals in La Muse Verte are organic, except for the star anise. Each plant in La Muse Verte Absinthe is carefully selected and is steeped in neutral alcohols of various strengths, depending on the plant, in order to extract its best essential oil. All the infusions are then assembled with great care over different periods of time; some of the plants macerate for more than 3 weeks.
The final product undergoes a meticulous decantation and natural filtration process with wool and paper, just like in the ancient times: quality comes first.
Plants: grande absinthe, star anise, lemon balm, sage, fennel, hyssop, etc.Preparation: 6 to 8 volumes of water for 1 volume of Muse Verte Absinthe. La Muse Verte Absinthe contains no sugar, no additives and is entirely natural. It is packaged in a black opaque bottle in order to prevent light from spoiling its color or taste.
Faustino VI Rioja 2020 Kosher 750ml
Winemaker Description
Rich reddish color with a russet tone. Combines the aroma of vanilla with the freshness of the grape variety. Balanced on the palate, smooth and elegant.
Cocchi Americano Rosa Aperitivo 375ml Half Bottle
Cocchi Americano is an aromatized wine created in 1891 by Giulio Cocchi, and since then produced without interruption according to the original recipe. The name "Americano" is both due to the alcohol made bitter ("amaricato") by the addition of herbs and spices, and to the American habit of drinking vermouth with ice and soda.
In Cocchi Americano Rosa, the Brachetto d'Acqui wine base provides the white rose and rich berry notes typical of the famous sparkling wine of the same variety, while the addition of rose and ginger to the traditional bitter base provides a rounder profile. Just add club soda or sparkling wine, or add a splash to a Paloma. Producer Description.
Max Ferdinand Richter Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr GG 2019 750ml
Wine Advocate 95 Points | From the overripe and botrytized berries of the Spätlese selection, the 2019 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is intense and concentrated on the nose, but due to the sulfuric notes, it is far from being as terroir-driven as the Spätlese or even the Kabinett. The fruit is concentrated yet piquant, fresh and elegant on the palate and pure, refined and subtle on the finish due to the crystalline acidity and finesse that represents the JSU. This is an excellent Spätlese that needs at least a decade to age to its full finesse.
James Suckling 96 Points | Plenty of exotic-fruit character from botrytis, but they haven’t made this refined Auslese loud, only more complex and tantalizing. Considerable concentration, but everything fits together so neatly that it comes off as restrained. Very complex, almost dry finish with a hint of vanilla pod. Delicious now, but so much aging potential.
The 2019er Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Auslese was made from partially botrytized fruit (1/3) picked at 115° Oechsle, and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (125 g/l). It offers a gorgeous nose made of elderflower, cassis, white peach, coconut, almond paste, fresh pineapple, and loads of citrusy and minty elements. The wine proves stunningly tactile and subtle on the palate, where delicately creamy fruits mingle with ripe yet gorgeously juicy acidity. The finish is all about bright exotic fruits, citrusy elements, and fine notes of cream. This gorgeous sweet wine may seem almost irresistible now, but it will gain from a decade of aging as the sweetness will have receded and given way to more nuances. Winemaker Description.

Olivier Leflaive Volnay 2019 750ml

Bibi Graetz Testamatta Sangiovese Toscana 2019 750ml

Expert Reviews
99 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : Blended of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Proprietary Red Wine gives bright, vivacious scents of crushed red and black cherries, blackcurrants and warm plums with vibrant wafts of lilacs, powdered cinnamon, black pepper and fenugreek plus hints of wild sage and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied with a very firm structure of wonderfully ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, it has a taut, muscular fruit profile laced with loads of energetic red and black fruit sparks with a very long, spicy finish. Wow!
98 Points Jeb Dunnuck: Lastly, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a vintage described as similar to 2015, only with a normal-sized crop. This inky colored beauty has some similarities to the 2014 with its perfectly balanced, elegant, yet powerful style. Made from 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an incredible display of finesse paired to power, remarkable sweetness of fruit, and a finish that leaves you looking for another sip. Another heavenly wine from this estate, I’d put this in the list of desert island wines for yours truly.
95 Points Decanter Magazine: In 2017 Ovid was sold to the Duncan family of Silver Oak, but Austin Peterson stayed on as winemaker. There are intense blackcurrant aromas on the nose, which is direct and lifted, giving real finesse. For a Pritchard Hill Cabernet it shows a light touch, with moderate tannins and good acidity. It's succulent but also shows ample grip on the finish. Very long with a solid finish - this clearly needs time. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2022 through 2037.
94 Points Wine Spectator: Sleek and ripe up front, with warm cassis and plum puree notes leading the way, turning broader and more muscular through the finish, where red licorice, fruitcake and tar flavors fill in. Should unwind slowly, as a strong buried iron detail emerges here as well. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2022 through 2037.
Whitley Neill London Dry GIn 750ml
Timeless Napa Valley Red

Familie Rauen Maximin Riesling Spatlese 2023 750ml
Rand Sieger 67Wine.com | This is about as good as a mosel riesling under $20 can be. Rarely do you find a Spätlese of this quality for such a low price. Classic mosel with bright white currant fruit, clover honey, and an energetic undercurrent of lime zest and slatey minerality. It really explodes on the palate with juicy, mouth watering fruit and the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
Try this paired with breaded, deep-fried button mushrooms dipped in tartar sauce. The combination will make you smile.
The Rauen family in the Mosel has been growing grapes for many generations but began bottling their own wine only in 1983. When Harald Rauen took the reins from his father more than 30 years ago, the first thing he did with their vineyards in the slate-rich soils of Detzem and Thornich was to reduce the yields in the vineyards to concentrate on quality instead of bulk. The result has been a line of classically clean and elegant Rieslings. His Spatlese is light-bodied and zesty, just a touch sweet, with notes of apricot, lime, and flint.

Stadlmann Pinot Noir Organic Thermenregion Austria 2019 750ml
Our Professional Review
Rand Sieger Buyer, 67Wine | This lovely Pinot Noir comes from a 6th generation family winery in the Thermen Region, just a short drive south from Vienna.
Cistercian Monks planted Pinot Noir vines here as early as the 12th century. Aging is done only in old oak barrels to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit. Aromas and flavors of bright red fruits are accented by a light peppery spice on the finish.
Expert Review
James Suckling 91 Points | I like the smoky, dried-cherry, blackberry and strawberry character and just a hint of dark chocolate. It’s full-bodied, round and flavorful. Drinkable now, but better in 2021.
Winemaker Description
Produced from vines planted well south of the cluster of northern-Thermenregion villages that comprise the majority of their holdings, Stadlmann’s Pinot Noir (called “Blauburgunder” locally) is simultaneously fresh and substantial, offering the textural harmoniousness of their white wines, as well as a lifted and elegant spice character that puts one in the mind of excellent red Burgundy. (After all, it was the Cistercian monks who brought Pinot Noir from Burgundy to the Thermenregion in the late 1100s.) Like the estate’s white wines, this is fermented and aged entirely in large, well-worn oak casks and bottled without fining and with only a gentle filtration.
Husch Vineyards Pinot Noir Anderson Valley 2020 750ml
Winemaker Description
Lush and powerful, the 2020 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir showcases this valley’s great fruit. The wine presents vivid aromas of amarena cherry, marionberry, lilac, and baking spices. Subtle notes of rhubarb, currant, rosemary, and earth add depth and complexity. Lively and youthful, the wine delivers excellent balance, purity of fruit, and sustained richness with a velvety texture, and it is sure to develop beautifully in the cellar.
This dinner table classic pairs exceptionally with coq au vin, mushroom ravioli, roasted pecans and walnuts, grilled vegetables, or creamy cheeses.
Expert Review
Wine Spectator 90 Points | This has nice, subtle energy, with rippling rooibos tea, blood orange and red currant notes that meld steadily through a savory finish.
Domaine Huet "Le Haut Lieu Demi Sec" Vouvray Biodynamic 2022 750ml
Wine Spectator | Bruised apple and persimmon give this a beautiful earthy dimension, while racy, pithy acidity powers the energy. The rich fruit and ripeness is well-matched by the notes of fleur de sel and crushed stone. Shows impressive depth, acid verve and coiled energy, which carries the off-dry profile.
Winemaker Description
Taking its roots deep into the chalk soils of Vouvray, this off-dry wine resonates beautifully in the mouth. Its natural sugar and refreshing acidity blend harmoniously. Aerial and complex, this fruity wine is to be appreciated young, but can reveal itself graciously to the ones who wait. Winemaker Description.
Don Q Rum Gold Dark Rum 1.75L MAGNUM
Chateau Valandraud Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2020 750ml
Expert Reviews
Wine Enthusiast 96 Points | This wine from the premier classé estate is seriously structured, dense and firm. At the same time the beautiful black currant fruits, acidity and fine perfumed character balance its richness. It is an impressive, memorable wine that will develop well over many years. (2020).
Wine Advocate 95 Points Opaque purple-black colored, the 2020 Valandraud bursts with scents of crushed black plums, boysenberries and blackberry preserves, followed by hints of dusty soil, garrigue and clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a lot of energetic, crunchy black fruits with a lively backbone and beautifully ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and fragrant. (2020).
James Suckling 97 Points | Wow. This is really super polished with incredible length and intensity, offering blackberries and hazelnuts. Superb richness that is reserved and poised. Great length. Full-bodied, extremely long and exciting. (2020).
Vinous 95 Points | The 2020 Valandraud has a deep purple hue and delivers an intense bouquet of lush blackberry, raspberry, cassis and crushed violet aromas, all beautifully defined. The palate is very well balanced with a sensual opening. This’ll have you smitten from the first sip: silky-smooth with immense depth and harmony. There is tension and precision from start to finish. This 2020 continues a startling run of form by Jean-Luc Thunevin, this representing one of his crowning achievements to date. Chapeau! (2020).
