Cristom Eileen Pinot Noir
$135.99
Cristom Vineyards was established in 1992 to craft single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from distinctive, individual sites across their 240-acre estate. Today, those five single vineyards named for members of the founding Gerrie family—Eileen, Jessie, Louise, Marjorie, and Paul Gerrie—have earned an international reputation for their individuality, authenticity, consistency, and excellence. The Eileen vineyard is situated at their highest elevation on the original property rising to over 735 feet with commanding views of the Cascade Range to the east and the Coastal Range to the west. From where it sits at the crest of the Eola Hills, Eileen Vineyard may be the site at Cristom more defined by the cold, Pacific Ocean winds than any other vineyard we farm. Eileen Vineyard is distinctive with some of the most dramatic range of soil depths on the Cristom estate, fierce winds, high elevation, multiple expositions and the most diverse collection of Pinot Noir clonal selections of any of our estate vineyards.

Yellow Spot Irish Whiskey
$124.19
The older sibling of Green Spot. The Yellow Spot is a Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey that is at least 12 years old.
What is Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey you ask? It is whiskey made using a combination of malted and unmalted barley. Why do this you ask? Why, to dodge unfair taxation, of course! The Malt Tax came into being in Ireland for a short time starting in 1785, enforced by the (insert expletive said in your best Irish accent here) English. The Irish, being Irish, decided that they didn't need to use malted barley for the entirety of the mash used to distill whiskey and started adding portions of unmalted barley. Necessity being the mother of invention, this eventually became a legitimate style of whiskey-making that is now not just celebrated but codified into law in Ireland with the Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey classification.

Pietradolce Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese
$35.69
A simply outstanding red wine from the slopes of Sicily's famous Mt. Etna. Look for berry notes and herbs on the palate, and hints of flowers on the nose. Here's what Robert Parker's Wine Advocate has to say about this winery: "Pietradolce is my new Etna darling. This estate has always been on my radar, but the wines have never tasted as good as they do now. Michele Faro and his team (winemaker Carlo Ferrini is a consultant) have made impressive leaps and bounds in quality - from the stunning historic vineyards they own to the immaculately designed gravity winery that is coated with slabs of volcanic stone. Construction was almost done when I visited the estate this spring. Located in Solicchiata on the northern side of the volcano, Pietradolce boasts some of the most beautiful vineyards I have ever seen. I cannot exaggerate this point."

It’s a magical melody of Islay’s’ natural bounty from the Atlantic washed beaches to the summit of heather covered hills."
Heartland One
$47.44
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.
