Sorelle Bronca Rose Prosecco
$38.99
Sisters Antonella and Ersiliana Bronca have steered their estate along the path of quality since taking over the reins from their father, Livio. Joined by Antonella’s husband, Pietro, a winemaker, and Ersiliana’s daughter Elisa, who a degree in enology, this family team works hard in the vineyard and in the cellar to produce the purest Prosecco out there.
The wines are classified as a Prosecco Colli Conegliano DOCG, the region having achieved DOCG status as of April 2010. In addition, many of their steep, hillside vineyards lie within the borders of the prized Valdobbiadene region, part of the larger UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Sorelle Bronca vineyards are higher in average age than most of the surrounding wineries, where younger, high-production vineyards are prized. Vineyard work and harvest are done by hand for every wine in the range. Modi is a 100% Glera Prosecco from San Pietro di Feletto, at 150-250 meters in elevation. Here, the slopes are very steep, at 60% in grade. The L’Ovest is from the Valdobbiadene DOCG, from three vineyards (Lavina rossa, Scanolera, and Rive) in the western section of the appellation, in the towns of Col San Martino, Colbertaldo, and Farrò. Work in the winery’s 20 hectares of vineyards is impeccable, and they work as naturally as possible, without the use of chemicals.

Michel Rey Pouilly-Fuisse En Buland
$52.99
Eve and Michel Rey produce natural, honest white Burgundy in miniscule quantities from the finest terroir in the Mâconnais. Their “La Roche” vineyards—Mâcon-Vergisson and Pouilly-Fuissé—are not only the highest vineyards in their respective appellations but, we believe, also deliver the purest expressions of Chardonnay in the region, bar none.
The Reys moved to Vergisson in 1988, as Michael was hired as a vineyard manager for a regional winemaker. Bit by bit, the couple saved their money and purchased small yet select parcels whenever they could. From the soil to the cellar, Michel and Eve do everything by hand, and it’s just the two of them—such diligence and dedication is what makes their bottles so special. They don’t have tons of vineyards; they don’t overextend. Through hard work and savvy winemaking, this duo is mentioned now in the same breath with Vergisson’s leading artisans, such as Daniel Barraud (who we also have some wine coming from) and Jean-Marie Guffens.
Their modest winery offers a breathtaking view of the Vergisson valley, and the wines faithfully mirror the majesty just outside their cellar door. While the word “artisan” is so often bandied about in wine, it is winemakers like the Reys who are true artisans, crafting with four hands works of vinous art, each and every vintage.
Woodford Reserve Straight Malt
$62.99
This Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey from Woodford Reserve is a different beast - not quite a Bourbon but also not a Single Malt Whiskey. Bearing the moniker Straight Malt Whiskey means that it has to use a minimum of 51% Malt, and it does exactly that with a mash bill also containing 47% Corn and 2% Rye. Like Bourbon, it is matured in Virgin American Oak Barrels that are heavily charred. Bottled at 45.2%.

$72.99
This dry gin comes from the Scottish Hebridean Isle of Raasay Distillery, on the island of the same name. It is bottled at 46%.
Like many newer distilleries, Raasay’s first product out of the gates was a gin. This gin is created using 10 botanicals including juniper grown on Raasay itself, orange peel, lemon peel, rhubarb root, angelica root, coriander seed, liquorice root, orris root, and cubeb pepper. Some of these gingredients are steeped directly in the spirit still and the rest are infused using a copper gin basket.

Every drop is lovingly distilled, bottled and shipped direct from the Isle of Raasay."
