Dirk Niepoort Nat Cool Bairrada Tinto — Bairrada, Portugal 2024 | Organic | 1L

Nat Cool is the brainchild of Dirk Niepoort — one of Portugal's most visionary winemakers and the owner of the legendary Niepoort Wines and Ports. Created as a response to a market hungry for fun, easygoing, naturally-made wines for everyday drinking, Nat Cool began in the Bairrada appellation working with Baga, Portugal's indigenous and notoriously tannic red grape. Dirk found a way to coax something entirely different from it: fresh, light, glou-glou Baga with 12% alcohol, minimal sulfur, and zero pretension — bottled in a generous 1-liter format at a cool price.

The 2024 Tinto is organic, vibrant, and built for the table. Expect crunchy red fruit — cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry — with earthy undertones, bright acidity, and silky, low-extraction tannins. Serve slightly chilled and drink freely.

ABC+ · Portugal · Croaker in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Portugal has been perfecting the art of conservas — premium tinned fish — for over a century, and ABC+ stands among its finest producers. Drawing on generations of Atlantic fishing tradition and meticulous hand-packing techniques, ABC+ sources wild-caught fish from Portugal's pristine coastal waters and preserves them at the peak of freshness in high-quality extra virgin olive oil. The result is a product of exceptional depth and character, far removed from ordinary tinned fish.

The Croaker (also known as Corvina) is a prized Atlantic fish with firm, white, mildly sweet flesh that takes beautifully to preservation in extra virgin olive oil. Rich, delicate, and subtly briny, it delivers clean ocean flavor with a luxurious, silky texture. Serve straight from the tin on crusty bread, alongside a crisp Vinho Verde or dry rosé, or as the centerpiece of a beautifully curated conservas board.

Winemaker Description

Smoke, tar, and char on the nose along with stewed plums, blackberries, and figs. The palate is softer on the tongue than the nose might suggest. Berries and figs come through with a little black pepper and cinnamon. Woody tannins settle into the sides of the tongues and linger a little with a background of umami. Pair with game meats, bbq, honeyed hams, and dark chocolate.

Winemaker Description

Byrrh Grand Quinquina is made to the original late-19th century recipe that earned worldwide fame and inspired fifty years of evocative poster art. Byrrh combines a generous, port-like wine and mistelle base with a firm backbone of natural quinine to produce a fruity, refreshing aperitif.

By itself, with tonic and a twist, or paired with blue cheese. In cocktails, Byrrh mixes well with vodka, gin, tequila, Irish whiskey, and grapefruit. Byrrh is produced in Thuir, in the heart of French Catalan territory, near the coast and border with Spain. 

Expert Review

93 Points Wine Enthusiast | Concentrated dark fruit leads the nose and palate on this garnet-hued aperitif wine infused with quinine. Complex, rich stewed fruit notes suggest cherry pie and Port brushed with vanilla, finishing long with drying hints of plum skin, sage and dried oregano plus a hint of espresso-like bitterness.  Best Buy

Expert Reviews — Vintage 2022

Wine Advocate 95 Points | The nose of a dry Port — all violets, ripe plums and aromatic herbs, with plenty of spices, toast and smoke from 20 months in French oak (20% new). Needs time to integrate the oak and polish the tannins.

James Suckling 95 Points | Abundant dark fruit with blueberries, delicate violets and graphite. Fleshy and medium- to full-bodied, perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity through a clean, bright finish. Supple tannins. An old field blend of more than 40 varieties. Drink now or hold.

Wine Spectator 94 Points | Bursting with brambly boysenberry and blueberry, fragrant mountain herbs, graphite and woodsy spices. Fresh and focused with concentration and length in a medium-bodied frame. Chalky, integrated tannins with a salty, iron-laced tang. Classy. Drink now through 2035.

About Wine & Soul

Wine & Soul is the joint project of husband and wife Jorge Serôdio Borges and Sandra Tavares da Silva, both qualified oenologists. They bought an old port warehouse in the Vale de Mendiz in the heart of the Pinhão valley in 2003. The estate is 6 hectares with 2.5 ha under vine, averaging over 70 years old and planted with 30+ different varieties. The project is named after their dog Pintas, a Pointer.

Winemaking

Harvested in the second week of September in perfect conditions. All grapes were hand-selected, destemmed, and foot-trodden in traditional stone lagares throughout the full 10-day fermentation. Aging and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels for 20 months.

Varietals: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca, Rufete

Tasting & Pairings

Violets, ripe plums, boysenberry, blueberry, graphite, dark chocolate, mountain herbs, and woodsy spice. Medium- to full-bodied with chalky tannins, bright acidity, and a salty, iron-laced finish. Decant generously or cellar through 2035.

• Braised beef cheeks or short ribs — the wine’s structure and dark fruit depth are built for slow-cooked meats.
• Grilled lamb chops with rosemary — the herbal and spice notes mirror the wine beautifully.
• Aged Manchego or Serra da Estrela cheese — Iberian cheeses that complement the Douro’s earthy complexity.

Producer Description

Muckety-Muck is one of those rare single grain scotches, now boasting 25 years of aging following the smashing success of our 24-year-old release.

A single-vineyard wine, Vinha de São Lázaro owes its name to the small 13th century chapel located in the vineyard that is dedicated to Saint Lazarus, protector of the sick and needy. 

Touriga Nacional is a great pairing for any meat dish. In this particular wine, as it is very delicate and full bodied, it is ideal with a lamb tagine, or any variety of matured meats. 

Baga | Bairrada, Beira Interior / Portugal
Vintage: 2020  |  Size: 750ml
Organic · Natural Fermentation

Located one hundred kilometers south of Porto, Bairrada was long overshadowed — its grapes shipped north to bolster Port production when English demand ran high. Today, a new generation of producers is reclaiming the region’s identity, and Luis Patrão of Vadio is among the most compelling of them. The name “Vadio” is Portuguese slang for idler or dreamer — a fitting tribute to a winemaking philosophy rooted in patience, organics, and letting the land speak.

Baga is Bairrada’s great indigenous red grape: firm, assertive, and full of personality. In Vadio’s hands — with organically farmed vineyards and fermentation from naturally occurring yeasts — it reveals its finest self: sinewy red fruits, cedary side notes, and a high-energy acid lift that makes it one of Portugal’s most food-friendly reds. The 2020 is fresh and vibrant, with currant and berry fruit that is genuinely pleasant and endlessly versatile at the table.

“Fresh berry fruits, currants, really pleasant and enjoyable with many foods.”
— Debra, 67Wine

Pairs with: Roast suckling pig, grilled lamb, duck rice, aged sheep’s milk cheese, or anything off the grill.

Vila Santa is produced in the Alentejo region, located in the south of Portugal. Its name originates from the title given in the 15th century to the members of the ancient Priest Congregation of St. John Evangelist, known simply as Loios. Loios monks have always had a deep connection to the history of Alentejo, especially to its wines. 

Cantine Florio Dry Fine Marsala Superiore — Sicily, Italy (375ml)

Cantine Florio is the most storied name in Marsala — founded in 1833 in the port city of Marsala on Sicily's western coast, and the producer that helped define the category for the world. Their Dry Fine Marsala Superiore Secco is the house's everyday expression: a versatile, beautifully balanced fortified wine made from indigenous Sicilian grapes, amber in color, and crafted to be equally at home as an elegant aperitif or as the essential cooking wine for classic Italian preparations. At 375ml, it is the perfect half-bottle for the kitchen and the table alike.

The nose is warm and inviting: raisins, vanilla, dried apricot, and a subtle nuttiness from the oxidative aging. On the palate, the wine is dry, full-bodied, and harmonious — fervent and structured, with a clean, lingering finish. It is the Marsala of choice for chicken Marsala, veal scaloppine, fish preparations, and poultry dishes, and an elegant aperitif alongside aged cheeses.

"A versatile and ductile Marsala Superiore Secco, suitable for everyday occasions. Amber to light brown, with hints of raisins and vanilla; dry, full, harmonic and fervent. The Marsala of choice for fish, poultry and meat preparation. An elegant aperitif to serve with cheese." — Cantine Florio

Producer Description

Rhum Barbancourt 3 star is 86 Proof rum, Aged 4 years (VSOP) in Limousin oak cask.

Distilled in Haiti from pure sugar cane juice (no molasses) since 1862.
An elegant and fresh nose. Smooth and rich on the palate. Sharp spices cut through a soft, layered structure with pleasantly familiar heat.

Memo Summary Notes

Rhum Barbancourt 3 Star (4 Years Old) is a unique Haitian "rhum" that stands apart from typical Caribbean rums. While most rum is made from molasses, Barbancourt is distilled directly from fresh sugar cane juice and aged in French Limousin oak casks, using methods traditionally reserved for Cognac.

The "3 Star" is the youngest aged expression in their core lineup, offering a balance between the raw, grassy notes of the cane and the sweet, woody influence of the barrel.
Food Pairings: The dry, spicy finish makes it a great partner for spicy jerk chicken, grilled pork belly, or even a creamy Gouda or Brie cheese plate.

Perucchi — Vermouth Rojo Gran Reserva | Catalonia, Spain | 1.0L

Style: Red Vermouth (Vermut Rojo) | Origin: Catalonia, Spain | Format: 1.0 Liter | Producer since: 1886

Made in Catalonia since 1886 and only recently imported into the United States, Perucchi is one of Spain’s great vermouth secrets — a Gran Reserva that rewards those who find it. Rich, complex, and deeply aromatic, this is the kind of vermouth that earns a permanent spot on the bar cart and demands to be savored, not just mixed.

Bold spice aromas of fresh gingerbread, autumn woods, and tobacco give way to delectably sweet flavors of black cherry compote macerated in ruby port, finishing with a pleasant, balancing bitter herb note. Classic Catalan vermut character — generous, warming, and endlessly versatile.

How to Enjoy

• Aperitivo: On the rocks with a splash of seltzer and a wedge of orange — the classic Spanish vermut serve
• Cocktail: A natural in a Manhattan or Negroni, adding depth and spice complexity
• Digestif: Neat after dinner alongside blue cheese with Membrillo or fig jam and Marcona almonds

Producer Description 

Quinta Ruban 14 year has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.

Expert Review

Whisky Advocate 92 Points | This Quinta Ruban succeeds the 12 year old version, adding two additional years of finishing in port casks, while maintaining the same bargain price. The result is a symphony of understated opulence. Marzipan, fresh apple and pear, milk chocolate, red berries, candied ginger, and praline on the nose build slowly, leading into a fruity, spiced palate. Flavors of soft gingerbread, molasses cake, cherry pie, spiced plums, almond nougat, and dark chocolate intermingle with faint strains of pipe tobacco. It sings on the finish, with a parting crescendo of hazelnut, spice, cigar wrapper, and lengthy oak.

Product Notes

The result is a salame with real character: deeply savory, warmly spiced, and impossible to put down.

Crafted in Maine from thoughtfully raised pork, this is American artisan charcuterie at its finest — rooted in tradition, driven by flavor.

Producer Description 

This special and rare cuvee has been bottled especially for Christmas from its oak cask.

This Petite Champagne originates from an old family reserve handed down from father to son beginning with the house's creation in 1872 by Edouard Normandin's great, great grandfather, Jules Normandin.

Normandin Mercier cognacs are matured in the family chateau’s traditional cellars near the town of La Rochelle, the historic medieval port that made Cognac famous many centuries ago. The proximity of the ocean, the natural regulation of hygrometry and oceanic temperature all favor the ageing of the cognacs, giving them fullness, elegance and a unique character.

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Port Ellen, Islay / Scotland
Size: 750ml  |  Non Chill-Filtered

Ardbeg is one of Islay’s most legendary distilleries — a remote, windswept outpost on the southern shore of the island that has been producing some of Scotland’s most intensely peated single malts since 1815. For devotees of smoky whisky, Ardbeg is a pilgrimage destination; for everyone else, it is a revelation.

An Oa (pronounced “an-OH”, named for the Oa peninsula at Islay’s southern tip) is the most approachable expression in the Ardbeg range — and the most deliberately rounded. Its singular character comes from time spent in a bespoke oak Gathering Vat, where whiskies from multiple cask types — sweet Pedro Ximénez, spicy virgin charred oak, and intense ex-bourbon — are brought together to harmonize before bottling. The result is Ardbeg’s hallmark peat and dark chocolate, mellowed by a delectable smooth sweetness: aniseed, silky butterscotch, black pepper, and clove, rising to an intense crescendo of flavor. Non chill-filtered, as it should be.

“A dram with smoky power, mellowed by a delectable, smooth sweetness. Hallmark Ardbeg peat, dark chocolate and aniseed are wrapped in smooth, silky butterscotch, black pepper and clove, before rising to an intense crescendo of flavour.”
— Ardbeg Distillery

Casks: Pedro Ximénez · Virgin charred oak · Ex-bourbon · Gathering Vat finishing
Non chill-filtered
Serve: Neat or with a few drops of water to open the peat. Pairs with dark chocolate, smoked meats, or aged cheddar.

Producer Description 

Crème de Moka is the earliest and most historic style of Coffee Liqueur, with recipes dating back to the 18th Century. The term “Moka” is in reference to the famous Port of Mocha, which was the major trading place of Coffea Arabica from the 15th Century through the early 19th Century.

Many European companies set up trade offices at the port, and the term “Moka” was coined as the gold standard to describe the very finest of arabica coffee beans.

The recipe that inspired Tempus Fugit Spirits’ Crème de Moka dates back to 1755.

Milk: Pasteurized goat's milk (Saanen breed)

Producer: Fromagerie l'Amuse / Cooperative dairy in Zijerveld, Netherlands

Affinage: Aged approximately 18 months

Style: Aged Gouda

Origin: Netherlands

Betty Koster founded Fromagerie l'Amuse in Amsterdam in 1989 alongside her husband Martin. A destination for serious cheese lovers, l'Amuse is celebrated for its rare, small-production Dutch gems — among them Wilde Weide and Terschelling. Betty's decades-long relationships with Dutch farmers, cheesemakers, and opleggers (affineurs) grant her access to an unparalleled range of wheels, selected and aged to her exacting standards.

"Black Betty" — also known as Brabander Reserve — is the crown jewel of that cellar. Pressed from the milk of Saanen goats and aged far beyond the typical Brabander, it develops a firm yet yielding paste studded with crystalline casein crunch. Layers of sweet caramel and toasted nuttiness unfold slowly, with a clean, bright finish that only goat's milk can deliver.

The reigning queen of aged Gouda, to which all others simply bow.

Pairings: Aged Riesling, Sauternes, Tawny Port, honeycomb, Marcona almonds, quince paste

Priced per ounce.
