Producer Description
"This rare whiskey was bottled under the strict tenents of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Aged in the temperate climate of the Northern California coast, the original distillate was altered only by the addition of pure water from the Russian River Valley aquifer. This is the purest expression of Redwood Empire’s craft."
Lucien Muzard Pommard
$103.99
Domaine Lucien Muzard & Fils is run by the dedicated duo of brothers Claude and Hervé Muzard, the ninth generation to manage this family estate that traces its history back to 1645. The village of Santenay is not only where they hang their hats, but also home to their largest concentration of vineyards, which average 55 years of age, including 1er Crus Maladière and Gravières as well as villages-level Champs Claude - situated right next to Chassagne’s Morgeot - from which they produce both Santenay Rouge and Santenay Blanc (a beautiful “poor man’s Chassagne” in anyone’s book!). Over the years, the brothers have amassed an enviable assortment of prime terroirs in the neighbouring villages of Maranges — one of the top values in their rouge lineup — as well as in Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault, including the stony, cool terroir of Les Meix Chavaux.
In the vineyards, they are devout in their commitment to working naturally and they incorporate both organic and biodynamic principles in their farming. Claude and Hervé aim to be as delicate as possible when handling the grapes. All fruit is hand-harvested in small 10 kg cases, and then sorted and mostly de-stemmed. Recently however the brothers have begun incorporating some whole cluster fermentation for the reds to add some complexity and freshness. The wines ferment with their native yeasts in temperature-controlled wooden fermenting tanks, and cuvaison typically lasts about two weeks before pressing, settling and then placing them into mostly used barrels. They have recently added foudres, which were uniquely present in the village during their grandparents’s generation. This is both a nod to tradition as well as a genuine interest in how the wines will evolve in larger oak vessels.

Gruber Riesling Eiswein 375ml
$52.99
Since 2013, Gruber has been using organic methods to cultivate the various plots of land in their winery. They do it out of conviction, not because it is in fashion. The extra work it demands (and less yield) reimburses them with more identity and character in our wines: Allowing nature to take the reins, they promote the self-healing powers of the vines to support the most valuable resources – the soils of their vineyards in Röschitz.
