San Leonardo Villa Gresti
$55.24
More than 1000 years ago, San Leonardo was a monastery, but for over three centuries now, it has served as the residence of the Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga family, its proud custodians. Today, the estate is a garden of vineyards and roses, protected by the massive barrier of the Alps, which blunt the force of the cold northern winds while the valley floor benefits from, and in turn releases, warmth from nearby Lake Garda. The winemaking practices are still uncompromisingly artisanal, yielding wines that are true gems of Italy’s wine tradition, marked by freshness, harmony, and an innate elegance
It's a blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and carmenere, a powerful wine offering notes of raspberries, cassis, balsamic hints, and sweet spices, with the ability to age for another decade.
La Trappe Quadrupel
$8.49
Sometimes, a Tripel just isn't enough. For those times, reach for La Trappe's Quadrupel. 10% ABV.
Rottensteiner Pinot Grigio
$39.99
A unique take on a common varietal often showcased in Italian wines, Rottensteiner's Pinot Grigio blends grapes from both moderate and high-elevation vineyards to create harmony between body and elegance, between structure and minerality.
Rottensteiner's Pinot Grigio is a beguilingly complex wine, ripe with tropical fruit and warm spice notes. This allows for an effortless pairing with all manner of food, from starters to poultry - or have it on its own to fully explore all the complexity this wine has to offer.
Rottensteiner Lagrein Riserva
$44.99
An exploration into the rich winemaking history of South Tyrol, Rottenstiner's Lagrein Riserva has elegance to spare. The sedimentary soils irrigated by the Talfer River passing through the vineyards near Bolzano allow for the native Lagrein grapes to flourish. After fermentation, the wine is matured in large wooden barrels to further develop texture and complexity.
A deep garnet-coloured wine, with arrestingly complex aromas that oscillate between delicate florals of violet and the earthly elegance of chocolate and spice. A distinct tannic edge is perfectly balanced by fresh yet restrained acidity, creating a wine just waiting to be paired with red meats and ripe, intense cheeses.
Carlone Davide Boca Piemonte
$73.99
Boca is both a small D.O.C. zone and a rare red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape (locally named Spanna, 70-90%) along with Vespolina and Uva Rara (Bonarda Novarese), vinified either together or separately. Despite its modest size, its roots can be traced back to Roman times.
The wine is grown in the north of Piedmont, along the Sesia River, on the wooded hills of the Novarra province around the towns of Boca, Maggiora, Cavallirio, Prato Sesia and Grignasco. It delivers notes of wild berries, cherry, and forest floor. Fine but grippy tannins make it a natural fit with beef and lamb.
Cecillon Dragon Eau de Vie
$63.99
This French Eau de Vie is made from barrel-aged cider that is distilled and then bottled at 40%.
Terredora Irpinia Falanghina 2024
$39.99
Made from 100% Falanghina harvested from selected vineyards in Campania.
This winery begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terradora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, Piedirosso and Falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the South for its power and its ability to age for many years. We have just received their Irpinia Aglianico, Falanghina, Rosato, and Lacryma Cristi Rosso (made from Piedirosso).
Yukon Stranded Sun Radler Tall Can
$3.95
This Ralder from Yukon Brewing contains carbonated lemonade and a touch of lavender. 3% ABV.
From The Producer
"The word radler comes from the German word for cyclist. There are a number of stories about how that morphed into a beer name (no doubt one of them is true… we just don’t know which one). Suffice it to say that the beer is a mix of beer and carbonated lemonade, making it light and ridiculously refreshing. It was our desire to add a twist of flavour and aroma to that concoction, and after some trial and error, settled on lavender. While the lavender is subtle (which it should be, after all) it pairs excellently with the lemon."

$12.99
