Pickering`s Gin
$66.99
From Edinburgh, Scotland, Pickering’s gin is based on an original Bombay recipe, handwritten on a fragment of paper dated 17 July 1947. Kept as a family secret for over 66 years, it only resurfaced in 2013 when Summerhall Distillery founders Marcus Pickering and Matt Gammell decided to bring the recipe back to life.
Some fine-tuning perfected its balance of botanicals and the result is a spectacularly smooth, refreshing and flavoursome gin.
The 9 botanicals – juniper, coriander, cardamom, angelica, fennel, anise, lemon, lime and cloves – are carefully measured and added to the grain spirit in a 500 litre copper still. Named Gert.
The secret of the gin’s smoothness is Gert’s ingenious, custom-designed bain marie heating system. This provides a gentle all-over-heat to the still. Thus the botanicals enjoy a luxurious simmer that coaxes out their subtle, soft, highly drinkable flavours.
Marvellously mixed, small batch Edinburgh dry gin, with soft citrus, hints of cinnamon and delicious nutty notes.

Seebrich Hipping Spatlese
$35.99
The winery was founded in Nierstein in 1783 and has been family-owned ever since. Knowledge, care, the learned craft, dedication, and passion have since shaped this estate. Their top priority is to focus on the essential, in their words: "To produce high-quality wines from high-quality grapes, by consciously dealing with nature. The focus is always on the desire to preserve all the ingredients that a grape develops. This care and the experience over decades are reflected in the quality of the wines". Heinrich Seebrich Senior converted the estate completely to viticulture in the 1950s. Since 1985, the estate has been run by Heinrich Seebrich Junior, who is assisted by his son Jochen. The vineyards cover 11 hectares in some of the best Nierstein vineyards, including the highly regarded Hipping site, the source for this wine.
Mosbacher Forster Ungeheuer Spatlese
$63.99
In 1921 Richard Mosbacher Snr. (1898-1977) founded the current estate together with his sisters and named it after their father Georg: 'Weingut Georg Mosbacher Erben' (Wine estate of Georg Mosbacher's heirs). The curved 'M' which decorates their wine labels up to this day goes back to these first years. Richard Mosbacher Jnr. took over responsibility for the cellars when his father Richard - a declared anti-Nazi - was appointed mayor by the Americans after the end of the Second World. The winery now produces some of the finest wines in the Pfalz and all of Germany for that matter. The grapes for this wine are grown on a south and southeast-facing vineyard, 60% of it slopes up towards the edge of the forest, while 40% is on the lower slopes, on soils composed of sandstone with limestone outcrops and basalt.
