Poppy Monterey County Pinot Noir
$28.99
Founded in 2003, the Poppy production is focused on bringing the beauty of Southern California to consumers across the globe. This particular Pinot Noir is sourced from Arroyo Seco, an ancient river bed in Monterey, where the vineyards are sheltered from the afternoon winds by the Santa Lucia mountain range. This allows for these particular vineyards to be warmer, allowing grapes to ripen further to create wines that a fuller, with more flavour intensity and more fruit. This wine sees some french oak that creates notes of oak spices on the palate, which are accompanied by ripe red berries, minerality and a touch of smoke.

Brent’s signature graces every bottle produced since then.

Heartland Sposa e Sposa
$23.99
Lagrein and Dolcetto are two Italian grapes that would never be blended together in Italy. When it came to the point where Australia was fighting for same-sex marriage, Heartland decided that with this untraditional blend, they would donate $1 from every bottle to help the LGBTQ community fight for equality. Since then, Australia has opened the doors for marriage and Heartland now is donating to the same-sex marriage fight in Vietnam. Not only is this wine delicious (with elegant floral, red fruit and earth notes), but you also know that your money will be helping the never-ending fight for the LGBTQ community!

Cos - ll Frappato
$59.99
"This is one of the most interesting and expressive wines to come from the Vittoria area of Sicily. The 2018 Frappato is tonic and sharp, linear and direct. But don't assume that this is an easy wine: It reveals more depth and nuances than you might expect. What I love most about Frappato is that it always renders a naked, authentic and transparent expression. That frankness is here too, but the folks at COS have brilliantly added their own little tweaks with touches of balsam herb and bitter almond that appear randomly along the way. This wine is only aged in cement, no oak is used. Some 38,000 bottles were made."
Heartland One
$72.99
Winery Notes: The Heartland One is a wine built to grow and prosper for many years to come. The intensity of this wine provides all the impetus required for long-term cellaring, while the deft handling of oak and the finely tuned acidity will ensure that it stays on track to be a balanced and generous wine. Dark fruit dominates the palate at this stage, and with ten years of age behind it, this wine is hitting its sweet sopt now. .
Pair with your favourite red meat, grilled steak, mushroom pie or aged cheddar.
Heartland Director`s Cut Cab
$35.99
Only the finest Cabernet vineyards in Langhorne Creek contributed to Directors’ Cut. The old vine fruit is the cornerstone of this wine’s character. The fruit was harvested at night to retain freshness. Initial skin contact was followed by 7 days of cool fermentation with our Rhône isolate yeast and hand-plunging three times daily. Maturation then occurred in 75% new oak hogsheads for approximately 14 months. This bold Cabernet is perfect to pair with richer food; Think pot roast, meat pie, sausages and meatloaf.
Wild Turkey Longbranch
$59.99
Longbranch is a Bourbon made by Wild Turkey Distillery of Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. It is aged for eight years in virgin oak barrels before being finished in barrels with extra charred White Oak staves and then Texas Mesquite staves added before being cut to 43% ABV and bottled.
Famed Oscar-winning actor and naked bongo drummer Matthew McConaughey joined the Wild Turkey brand as Creative director in 2016. In the two years since he has been the center of much of their advertising and commercials. In 2018 he left even more of a mark on the distillery and brand by getting his signature on a new bottle in the Wild Turkey line called Longbranch, which he had a hand in creating. McConaughey is the only person to have his signature on a Wild Turkey other than the father and son Master Distiller Duo of Jimmy and Eddie Russell.
