Chateau de Beaucastel
$101.99
Always highly anticipated and highly rated, and 93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2013 vintage: "The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a beauty and has a rare level of concentration and depth in the vintage. Blueberry, crushed flowers, pepper, and violet aromas and flavors flow nicely to a medium to full-bodied, structured and tannic Beaucastel that has impressive purity and plenty of length. It’s not massive, but still needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for a decade after that."
Pirramimma Petit Verdot
$32.99
A spicy, delicious, wonderful alternative to Shiraz, from a winery with roots dating back to 1892! The winery's early production involved the sale of bulk wine to the Australian and overseas market. Today, however, it's under the control of Alex and Geoffrey Johnston, who are committed to the production of high quality varietals. This Petit Verdot deserves every medal it has been awarded. Inky deep purple, well balanced oak and a good tannic core that helps to reign in the ripeness of the fruit.
Duvel Beer 330 ml Bottles
$6.49
Lightly fruity, with apples and banana, some phenolic notes and a touch of vanilla. The taste is still light and fruity, rather lively at first but soon mellows to a tasty finish. Four generations of the Moortgat family have brought together Pilsner malts, Bohemian hops, and a unique yeast strain to create this intense, aromatic and beguiling ale. This Belgian favourite is best enjoyed chilled (40 - 50 F).

Dumangin Le Rose 2012
$81.99
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! A grower-producer in the heart of Chigny-les-Rose, Giles Dumangin has champagne coursing through his veins. Dating back to the 1650s, the Dumangins have always worked with the vines of Champagne, but it wasn't until 1890 when Hippolyte Dumangin created Champagne Dumangin in the 1er Cru vineyards of Chigny-les-Roses. Five generations later, Champagne Dumangin is producing an array of wines, from their classic, feminine style to their newer, high-end cuvees. This non-vintage blend is made up of 47% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir and 16% Pinot Meunier, and it accounts for almost 50% of their production. It is a truly delicious wine, pale salmon in colour with an enticing scent of strawberry. On the palate, it offers subtle notes of raspberry and citrus with some toasty brioche notes on the finish.
