Lustau Fino Sherry Jarna
$38.99
This Fino Sherry from Lustau is made with the Palomino grape. It is aged for four years in casks with a layer of yeast on top called Flor, which keeps the aging sherry from oxidizing. 15% ABV.
From The Producer
"Pale straw colour with greenish reflections, bright and clean. This is a Jerez style Fino: fresh, mineral and pungent on the nose with almonds and bakery notes. Dry and crisp on the palate, yet rich and with a full finish.
Aged under a veil of yeast, called “flor”, in Bodega Las Cruces in Jerez de la Frontera. The inland climate in the town of Jerez de la Frontera provides a more rounded and fuller style of wine."

About Adrien Camut
Adrien Camut is a family producer of Calvados, a type of brandy made from apples in Pays d'Auge AOC. The firm dates to the 1800s and has been passed down from father to son over the generations.
Details below from calvadosonline.com:
About the Apples: "About 25 different varieties of apples are grown on the 110 acres property of the Camut family and all of them are going into the making of Calvados Camut. The upkeep of the grass under the apple trees is traditionally and exclusively performed by the cows who also bring the necessary fertilizer. No chemical product is used, the farm is run biologically. Only the oldest and most rustic types of apples are grown, they have been selected for their quality, not their profitability. The Camut family have their own tree nursery, allowing them to perfectly control the varieties of apples grown and to replant apple trees every year in March."
About the Distillation: "The distillation The apples are mashed and the juice is stored in a tank so that the fermenting process begins and the sugar changes into alcohol, slowly and naturally of course. The cider obtained from this fermenting process rests in oak barrels for ten months before being distilled in September, as wanted by the Norman tradition since centuries, whereas some other calvados producers distill their cider only a few weeks after the apples are harvested... During the first two years, the eau-de-vie is going from one oak barrel to another, so that oxidation and elimination of volatile alcohols can happen. The oak barrels used are about 50 years old and help the calvados to gain body, complexity and a wonderful colour. After two years, the now called "Calvados Pays d'Auge" is transferred into larger wooden tuns filled up to 2/3 to leave room for oxygen. The cellar has no insulation, the temperature range is good for the aging process. About 5% of the calvados will evaporate every year, the famous Angel's share..."

Tantalus Pinot Noir
$63.99
Just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. "A rich garnet in colour, the nose is bursting of lingonberry, Bing cherry and sweet anise alongside floral notes of crushed rose petal and violet. Ripe raspberry and dark plum emerge on the palate with an intriguing graphite minerality on the finish. All sourced from our single vineyard estate, select Pinot Noir blocks were handpicked and vinified in small lots using entirely wild fermentation. The small batches were then placed into a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques for 12 months and blended, unfined and unfiltered, just prior to bottling. Although enjoyed in its youth we see this wine aging gracefully over the next 7 to 10 years," according to the winery. And we agree!
