Brolio Chianti Classico
$33.99
As the oldest continuously operating winery in the world, this estate has a strong historical legacy: Barone Ricasoli was largely responsible for creating the Chianti Classico demarcation in the 19th century, as well as serving as Prime Minister of Italy for a spell. Francesco Ricasoli today is the 32nd Barone and took the helm in 1993. Pairings include grilled chicken and steak or a robust red pasta sauce.
This is a juicy wine with blackberry aromas and flavors balanced by hints of earthy and savoury characteristics. The finish is long with a transition to tart cherry. This wine opens amazingly after the first glass.

Courvoisier VSOP
$56.99
One of the world's greatest and best-known Cognacs! Courvoisier was created in the early 1800s by two friends and businessmen who started as traders for the best Cognacs in the region, and then decided to create their own. (Emmanuel Courvoisier was one of those men.) As it has been since the early 1800s, Courvoisier is made in the town of Jarnac, in Charente, France. It was the favourite Cognac of Napoleon Bonaparte - in fact, the place where Courvoisier is made has a museum about Cognac, which also holds a few Napoleon momentos, including a lock of his hair, a hat and coat.
Glenlivet 12 Year
$54.99
Located within the most famous mountain glen distilling region in Scotland, only one distillery is permitted to call itself The Glenlivet.

The mountain setting provides cool weather distillers love, resulting in a clean, light, flowery, elegant malt.
anCnoc 12 Year Knockdhu
$69.99
anCnoc is Scottish Gaelic for 'the hill', which, in English is rendered 'Knockdhu' and should not be confused with the other distillery 'Knockando'. The brand decided to market itself under the label anCnoc to avoid confusion. Knockdhu is located in the Eastern Highlands not far from the town of Keith. The whisky has in recent years been marketed heavily as a single malt, though for most of its life it has been primarily produced for blends like Haig. 40%
Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Stout
$4.59
This golden stout has a lovely creamy body with a decent amount of sweetness. Peanut butter aromas and flavour come through immediately and last through the whole experience. Start with it slightly chilled and let it warm in the glass as you sip it slowly.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
$25.99
Clean, crisp and wildly popular, from one of Italy's best-known Pinot Grigio producers. Santa Margherita comes from the Trentino-Alto Adige where, as the legend goes, the US importer Tony Terlato tried 18 different bottlings before finding the one that would win him a devoted following and a small measure of fame. The rest is the stuff of wine drinking legend. This dry white wine has delicious aromas of pears and apples, which lead to a tangy taste. Ideal with fish dishes (a seafood salad, perhaps), roast chicken, or just casual sipping.
Absolut Vodka
$34.99
Absolut Vodka was first launched in New York in 1979. It soon became the talk of the town, the US and eventually the world. But the recipe behind the pure and natural taste is actually older than 30 years, and so is the 18th century medicine flask found in an antique store in Stockholm, which gave inspiration to the iconic bottle. Made exclusively from natural ingredients, it doesn't contain any added sugar. Rich, full-bodied and complex, yet smooth and mellow with a distinct character of grain, followed by a hint of dried fruit. Enjoy with tonic and a splash of lime over ice.
