The 2020 Apothic Red is our first daringly original blend of California-grown red grapes. Zinfandel leads the blend with silky layers of blackberry, black cherry with a hint of black pepper. Syrah and Merlot deliver undercurrents of ripe blueberry, boysenberry and a soft, plush mouthfeel. Cabernet Sauvignon adds more dimension with notes of black currant while bold tannins deliver a hint of intrigue. The finish is long and smooth with lingering notes of vanilla and mocha from the oak we selected for aging.

This smooth, medium-bodied red blend is best enjoyed with plenty of wine glasses, whether you're enjoying it on its own or in a wine cocktail.

Barbara Chapman, La Bourbonessa:

Take a perfectly balanced, gentle bourbon (86.6% proof) redolent of vanilla, sugar and the rich notes of ripe berries, present it in a heavenly lyre-shaped bottle adorned with a pair of wings, and you’ve created a whiskey worthy of the angels’ envy. This warmly copper-hued bourbon is a work of art, conceived by the late, legendary distiller Lincoln Henderson and his son, Wes. The Hendersons were creative pioneers in the now-widespread practice of finished bourbons. Angel’s Envy Port Finish is blended in small batches of 8-12 barrels at a time, typically aged up to 6 years before the additional finishing time of 3 to 6 months in 60 gallon French oak ruby port wine barrels imported from Portugal.

The result is subtle luxury. Angel’s Envy is smooth, light and plainly so delicious it’s bound to please bourbon drinkers from newly minted bourbonites to seasoned aficionados. You’d be wise to have a bottle of Angel’s Envy wing its way to your bourbon shelf. After all, everyone deserves a sip of heaven.

 

Producer Description

Our bourbon starts with the native Kentucky climate and soil in which our corn and rye are grown, and a pristine limestone watershed rich in calcium and magnesium. These local ingredients are distilled and aged for four to six years in American white oak barrels. Because we want to create a genuinely unique spirit, we age it for three to six additional months in hand-selected port casks to create an exceptionally smooth and nuanced bourbon.

Critic Notes

Wine Enthusiast 98 Points | A beautiful, mouthwatering newcomer to the whiskey scene. Named for the "angel's share," the portion that evaporates from the barrel during the aging process, this golden amber spirit is finished in Port barrels, which explains those juicy red-fruit notes that slide into the long finish. Look for orange peel, vanilla and roasted nut flavors, too.

 

Winemaker Description

Mevushal. Elegant and full bodied with rich notes of black stone fruit, boysenberry, nutmeg and a kiss of oak bring distinction to Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon.

Enjoy this wine at room temperature with grilled steak, lamb chops or pasta with red sauce.

Aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration recipe that produces a pure medley of botanical flavor.

STEP 1: INFUSION
It all starts with our precise blend of botanicals – cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla, juniper, and two kinds of orange peel. The botanicals are suspended in a neutral grain spirit for 18 hours in macerating tanks.

STEP 2: DISTILLATION
The macerate is then pumped into a still along with pure water. Steam jackets heat the macerate, the vapors go into the condenser, which cools the vapors to form the gin distillate.

STEP 3: THE CUT
In a meticulously monitored process, the first fluid leaving the still, the "heads," is removed. Collecting the "heart of the spirit" throughout the run, the distillers then determine the end of the cycle and make the final cut, "the tails." This process takes approximately 7 hours and at this point, the "heart cut" is 142 proof.

STEP 4: BLENDING & BOTTLING
The "heart cut" is transferred to a blending tank where pure water is added, bringing the gin to the desired 84 proof. It is then sent to the bottling line for filling, capping, and labeling. Aviation is then packed into boxes and ready to ship.

"I've tried every gin on the planet and Aviation is, hands down, the best. Also, I don't recommend trying every gin on the planet. Stick with this one."

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | A balanced, refreshing and satisfying Sauvignon Blanc, this crisp white wine dances with flavors of lime and grapefruit, lemongrass and papaya with a sprinkle of sea salt. Lifted and delicious with an ultralong finish. 

 

Producer Description 

How to describe this American Dry Gin? The main punch comes from juniper (naturally) but with a creative twist. Greenhook Ginsmiths adds nine botanicals to a base spirit distilled from organic grown wheat. The uniqueness of the distillation process creates a bright, vibrant and nuanced gin that is a perfect balance between our herbal, floral and citrus components: elderflower, cinnamon and chamomile. It’s a mix unlike any other.

Winemaker Description

Our Sauvignon Blanc has brilliant clarity and offers subtle aromas of lemon, kiwi and herbaceous notes. This medium-bodied wine is filled with grapefruit and citrus flavors and ends with a crisp, refreshing finish.

JamesSuckling.com, Andrii Stetsiuk  92 Points | Attractive nose of grilled herbs, blackberries, olives, chicory root and peppercorns. Savory and gently chewy with medium to full body, grainy tannins and an inky finish. Drink now.

JebDunnuck.com, Jeb Dunnuck 91 Points |  Coming from a mix of sites, the 2020 Syrah Columbia Valley is an up- front, fruit-loaded, charming Syrah revealing tons of darker berry fruits, some peppery, meaty notes, medium to full body, plenty of creamy background oak, and a great finish. It’s a good value and will put a smile
on your face any time over the coming 5-7 years.

Vinous, Eric Guido 90 Points | The 2020 Syrah opens with a delicate blend of fresh sage and plum sauce forming its bouquet. This is softly textured and lifted in feel, with crisp red and black fruits complemented by sweet spice. It finishes
youthfully grippy yet lively, leaving hints of citrus and a bitter balsamic
twang.

Winemaker Description 

Washington State’s winegrowing region is ideally suited to maximize the full expression of Syrah. Spicy, rich, and complex, with soft tannins and bright acidity, our Columbia Valley Syrah is the perfect food pairing wine.
Tasting Notes

This full-bodied Syrah shows robust and pronounced aromas of blackberry, black currant, violets, black peppercorn, Herbes de Provence, and licorice. Spiced dark fruit flavors reveal themselves on the palate finishing with a mouth-filling, savory richness.

Producer Description 

Made from pure Kentucky limestone-filtered water in the Bulleit family tradition, years ago we set aside a number of choice barrels of Bulleit Bourbon to age in charred American white oak barrels. The extra years create a bourbon offering that is a richer, more complex sipping experience.

The new Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a small batch limited release whiskey and will only be around for a limited time.

The perfect drink for those who share a love of all things hot, our Jalapeño Pineapple Margarita is fun and flavorful with a hint of heat.

In an age of restless brilliance, Dorothy Parker was a singular sensation. A new Yorker at heart, her national celebrity sprang from her sharp, biting humor and widely quoted quips. Regularly seated at the famed Algonquin Round Table, she occupied the city’s cultural and intellectual center stage. An iconic enthusiast of gin and an unconventional woman, no one could have been a more interesting drinking companion. Dorothy Parker American Gin – a blend of traditional and contemporary botanicals including juniper and elderberries, citrus, cinnamon, and hibiscus – is as delicious in a Gin & Tonic as it is in a Gin Daisy.

Buttery, herbal and deliciously subtle, this Vermont sheep cheese is widely regarded as one of the finest American artisan cheeses.  Pair with your favorite Pinot Noir.  

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger

Lean, savory and sharp, this cheese set the template for what many call Vermont Cheddar. The Shelburne comes from a farm that has diligently made top shelf cheddar for more than 100 years.  

Pair it with your favorite whiskey.

The Wine Advocate 93 Points | Precise and well-sculpted, with cherry and pomegranate flavors that are highlighted by fresh earth, violet and dusky spices, finishing with handsome tannins.

Looking for that satisfying apple crunch? Just add ice cubes. Apple and Jim Beam have come together to make history with the perfect balance of premium apple liqueur and bourbon, resulting in rich American heritage with a light, juicy twist. Surprisingly smooth and deliciously different, Jim Beam Apple is succulent but not overpowering. And because it retains a rich bourbon core, it’s perfect for both whiskey fans and those looking for a refreshing new cocktail. Enjoy Jim Beam's freshest family member straight, on the rocks or in a highball with club soda and a lemon wedge. After seven generations of master distillers, the Jim Beam family tradition continues today with Jim Beam Apple and more.

As the First Family of Bourbon, we were there when it all began. But we’ve never been the type to rest on our laurels. Always innovating, always taking bourbon to new heights—that’s the Jim Beam way.

And after more than two centuries, we have no intention of doing things any differently. Since we sold our first batch in 1795, each of our family distillers has found an opportunity to push our story forward and keep the tradition of Jacob Beam alive for the next generation of bourbon drinkers.

Producer Description 

Blue Plum Brandy, known as Slivovitz in much of Eastern Europe, in France as Quetsch and in Germany as Zwetschgenwasser, is pot distilled from a pure fermented mash of Italian Blue plums grown in the Pacific Northwest.

Clear Creek makes it much as it has been made in Europe for centuries and believe the result is smoother, more aromatic, and more sophisticated than any European Blue Plum Brandy. It makes a great sorbet.

From Hermann J. Wiemer: "The daffodils are blooming, and the vineyards have been pruned, which can only mean one thing: the release of our 2024 Dry Rosé!

Crafted from Pinot Noir & Cabernet Franc, this vibrant Rosé shines after 18 hours of skin contact and a month-long native yeast fermentation. It’s full of flavors that make us dream of warmer days: wild strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of cherry blossoms. Picture this with a slice of watermelon sprinkled with lavender sea salt...."

Expert Review - Vintage 2012

International Wine Cellar 92 Points | Bright red. Intense red fruit and blood orange scents are underscored by dusty mineral and spice notes. On the palate, taut redcurrant, strawberry and raspberry favors gain sweetness and flesh with aeration. Sexy oak spices build on the finish, which features silky tannins and an echo of fresh red berries. There's 70% new oak here and it expresses itself by spiciness, not vanilla or mocha.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2020

Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points | Inky red with a purple tinge, the 2020 L'Esprit Des Pavots is brooding with spice, black cherry preserve, forest earth, and black licorice. It’s full-bodied, rounded, and gushing with boysenberry, with a balance of sweet fruit and savory Sonoma character in its notes of tea leaf, wildflowers, and lightly toasted spices. Long on the palate, with ripe tannins and a good finish, it’s attractive now and will drink well over the next 10 years. 

James Suckling 93 Points | A fleshy and rich red with crushed berries, green pine needles, bark, orange peel and bark. Hints of walnuts, too. Full-bodied with round and polished tannins that are integrated and solid. Second wine. Drinkable now, but I would give it another two to three years of bottle age.

Vinous 91 Points | The 2020 L'Esprit des Pavots is mostly Knights Valley in this vintage. Bright and punchy, the 2020 offers lovely forward red-toned fruit followed by touches of mocha, dried flowers, mint, tobacco and cedar. This is a terrific second wine, especially considering the year. (AG)

Winemaker Description 

Welcoming aromas of violet, rose, fresh cherry, leaf and cocoa spice. This dynamic wine engages the palate with riveting and luscious black cherry, black raspberry and plum flavors accented with light forest wood notes and a charming dose of red earth spice. 

A sophisticated and concentrated Willamette Valley Pinot noir that is truly seductive, with a lush balance, seamless texture, and a long, complex finish that lingers. Still stunning when tasted two days later from a previously opened bottle.

Producer Description 

Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey uses the Solera System, a unique aging and blending process to preserve the heritage of Stitzel-Weller Distillery by blending bourbon of various ages. A historic method in other categories, it is an uncommon practice found in the bourbon industry.

The beauty is in the blending. Tiered fractional blending allows for a vast range of ages to come together, creating a complex yet approachable liquid, using the best of both the older and newer distillates. The Solera System allows us the opportunity to incorporate bourbon from the Stitzel-Weller Distillery into every bottle. The aromatic brightness of the young shines through the rich character and structure of the older liquid, highlighting the depth of what is possible using the Solera System. Barrels are never fully drained, ensuring this union of ages is ever present in each bottle of Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon is aged in charred American white oak barrels. Not only does Blade and Bow stand out in taste, but our Kentucky Straight Bourbon can be found in a beautiful hexagonal bottle and on the neck one of the five collectable keys that are adorned by hand. 

Winemaker Description 

The 2018 Grace Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon exudes gorgeous dark red fruit, black cherry, black currant, accented by notes of bittersweet cocoa, black licorice, cigar box, resin, pink peppercorn, rose, and a hint of mint which offers freshness and lift.

The palate is broad and plush with layers of vibrant dark red fruit and spice seamlessly underpinned by soft, fine tannins and an extremely long palate. Drinking beautifully now, this wine will age at a glacial pace for years to come.

 

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

Christina Pickard of The Wine Enthusiast 87 Points | This is a bright, fruity Chardonnay with notes of peach, lemon and white florals. It's midweight with some textural weight, freshness and a long peachy finish.

Winemaker Description 

Clean and bright aromas with notes of Empire apple and Asian pear. Flavors of mandarin orange, pear, honeydew melon and cantaloupe are enhanced with a pleasant acidity that lingers on the finish.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2014

James Suckling 94 Points | A firm and cool Napa cabernet sauvignon with dark berry, chili, light roasted coffee beans. Full body, firm and lightly chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Some iodine. A solid cabernet! Look for this one. Give it three or four years to soften.

Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points | Leading off the 2014s, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon NVD offers a ripe, forward, opulent style that's packed with fruit. Blackcurrants, truffle, smoked tobacco and earthy soil notes give way to a rich, medium to full-bodied, pure, polished red that has sweet tannin and a great finish.

The Wine Advocate 90 Points | The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon NVD is essentially from the same sources, but slightly higher production. I preferred, marginally, the 2013 because of its voluptuous texture, velvety tannins, front-end loaded, juicy blackcurrant, blackberry fruit, plushness and impressive purity and length.

Producer Description 

Celebrate the purest expression of terroir with Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014. Fully traceable and high provenance, a medley of apricot and peach complements the cereal-forward single malt, with a subtle maritime note nodding to the whisky’s all Islay harvest, distillation and maturation.

For almost two decades, we have shown the permanence of our commitment to barley provenance. Aided by the determination and resilience of our local farming partners, Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 is the latest vintage of the unpeated, locally grown single malt.

Distilled using barley grown solely on Islay, the single malt truly celebrates place and provenance. The latest Islay Barley vintage is distilled from barley grown on eight local farms, all within an 11-mile radius of Bruichladdich Distillery.

Fully traceable from farm to glass, Islay Barley 2014 has been matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks, sherry butts and second-fill wine casks, balancing the influence of the oak with the locally grown barley.

The result is a cereal-forward single malt with notes of apricot and peach, malty digestive biscuit, and a hint of fresh grass. A subtle maritime note also lingers, nodding to the whisky’s all Islay harvest, distillation and maturation.
