TASTING NOTES
"Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." Winemaker Amilcare Alberici is devoted to his wine and this Lambrusco is a true labor of love. Alberici even contacted the regional registry to have Fogarina added as a permissible varietal for Lambrusco because it was nearly unknown. To reward his efforts, the nose bequeaths a coven of lavender, cranberry, and wet leaves, while the palate is haunted by specters of raspberries, cherries and concord grapes. Pair this tongue tickler with Margherita pizza, porchetta or peach cobbler.

$17.00
REGION
Castilla y León, Spain
VARIETAL
Tempranillo
TASTING NOTES
Viña Almate is the name of the first vineyard that Alfredo planted and gives the name to his bodega and to Alfredo’s entry-level Duero wine. This cuvee is made from fruit sourced from various plots of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), of varying vine ages located, in Valtiendas at 1,000 meters elevation, as well as Peñafiel, at 700 meters. The wine is 80% whole cluster fermented in steel vat with 15-20 days of maceration, and raised for 4 months in neutral French oak with one racking: unfined, unfiltered, and very low SO2. The result is a very pure and classic medium to full bodied Duero wine with notes of red fruits, spice, flowers, and minerals; a great wine to pair with grilled and roasted meats. -Importer's Notes

Pecorino
TASTING NOTES
Pecorino, an ancient but lesser known grape varietal, might just be the cure for your vino blues. Ampelographers (scientists who study grapes) believe that the grape's name stems from the Italian word for sheep, Pecora (not to be confused with the cheese). Local legend has it that sheep in the Marche region would often eat the grapes while moving through the vineyards (aren't they lucky). A floral and fruity wine, this nose will find notes of white peach, acacia, and jasmine, while the palate will be filled in by flavors of pear, cantaloupe, and sea salt. Enjoy this with chicken scaloppine, spinach cannelloni, or, obviously, pecorino cheese.

Aperol Aperitivo
$25.00
Aperol originated in 1919 in Padova, Ital. It was a product of the Barbieri Brothers who launched the revolutionary idea of an aperitif with an alcohol content of only 11% alcohol. Today Aperol has become a classic apéritif and increasingly popular in cocktail recipes around the world. Bright orange in color it has a unique bitter-sweet taste deriving from a secret recipe that has remained unchanged since its creation. An infusion of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb and cinchona combined with herbs and roots create a perfectly balanced elixir. Aperol is milder in flavor and half the alcohol content of its Campari cousin.
Together with 3 parts of Prosecco, 2 parts of Aperol and a dash of seltz, Aperol makes the perfect Spritz -the irresistible Italian Aperol Spritz.

Spanish conquistadors planted vines in the early 1500s (earlier than both Chile and Argentina!) and Baja California holds about 90% of the vines in the entire country due to its ideal climate and geography. "No Sapiens" comes from a single, dry-farmed, 69-year-old vineyard comprised of a mysterious grape variety that remains unidentified. This naked beauty is bursting with aromas of cherry, spun sugar, and rose petals, while the taste buds are treated to accents of dried strawberries, violets and cranberries.

It is made by an infusion of gentian, cinchona (quinine) and renowned herbs of the Grande Chartreuse mountains in a mistelle base. While tradition is to drink neat with a twist, Bonal also mixes well with fresh or hard cider, sparkling wine, and Scotch or American whiskies.

Caffo Amaretto
$19.00
The history of the Caffo family business dates back to the end of the 19th century, when Giuseppe Caffo, the Master Distiller, class of 1865, began distilling pomace on the side of volcanic Mt. Etna. After years of experience trading and managing distilleries, his dream became reality when in 1915 he bought and old distillery in Santa Venerina, Sicily. He fully dedicated himself to his passion and passed his knowledge along to his children. Giuseppe’s son, Sebastiano Caffo, soon became a Master Distiller himself, and together they founded the company ‘Fratelli Caffo’ with Sebastiano’s brother, Santo Caffo. Initially, Caffo produced a small range of spirits distilled from wine, however the Caffo distillery gradually began producing and earning recognition for their fruit and herbal liqueurs and classic Italian spirits such as Amaro, Limoncino, Amaretto, Sambuca, and aged Grappa.
Caffo’s Amaretto is titled “Fratelli D’Italia” – English translation: Brothers of Italy. In the 1930’s many Italians emigrated from their homeland seeking success. This Amaretto was created and dedicated to these Italian “Brothers” so they could carry around the world with them a small piece of home. Made from estate grown almonds, sugar and alcohol, this amaretto is the most pure and expressive on the market today. The expert distillers at Caffo produced this all-natural Amaretto from 100% real Sicilian almonds and macerated it in an herbal infusion. It’s like marzipan in a glass…

Chambord Raspberry Liqueur 375ml
$23.00
It is difficult to imagine a liqueur more elegant than Chambord. It became an instant success when it was introduced in the early 1980s and has been a top-shelf denizen since its arrival. Now, Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur is featured in such a large repertoire of classic and contemporary cocktails alike that the brand is permanently enrolled in the "must have" class. In the hands of the inspired, the super-premium brand has no creative limits. Chambord is made on the premises of a traditional Loire Valley Chateau south of Paris in Cour-Cheverny France. The liqueur is crafted using all-natural ingredients. An infusion of fresh raspberries and blackberries is married with a proprietary blend of natural black raspberry fruit extract, cognac, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, honey and delicate herbs and spices. Everything about Chambord is sensational. The intrigue begins with its opaque appearance and extremely deep, ruby/purple hue. The liqueur has a luxuriously textured, medium-weight body and a wafting herbal and fruit bouquet. The semisweet palate is a lavish affair of raspberries, spice, herbs and a taste of honey. The flavors persist on the palate for a remarkably long finish. Chambord was inspired by a unique, black raspberry liqueur produced in the Loire Valley of France in the late 17th Century. While visiting the Chateau de Chambord, King Louis XIV sampled the liqueur and became immediately enamored with it. The rest is history.

The exact recipes are a closely guarded secret, but there are up to 54 different plants used, most notably wormwood, but also hyssop, camomile, genepi, chincona bark and rose petals found in the Alpine meadows above Chambéry. Ugni Blanc grapes from the region combined with the Alpine botanicals impart a fresh and elegant nose, with a subtle and complex palate. Dolin Dry is classically herbal with hints of stone fruit, tarragon and lemon verbena. Ideal as an aperitif on ice with a twist of citrus or in a broad array of traditional cocktails. -Distiller's Notes

Dolin Vermouth de Chambery Rouge
$16.00
Using the same recipes since 1821, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry has long been the benchmark for fine French Vermouth. The exact recipes are a closely guarded secret, but there are up to 54 different plants used, most notably wormwood, but also hyssop, camomile, genepi, chincona bark and rose petals found in the Alpine meadows above Chambéry. Ugni Blanc grapes from the region combined with the Alpine botanicals impart a fresh and elegant nose, with a subtle and complex palate. Dolin Rouge, red from the caramelization of its sugar, is less sweet than many of its counterparts with notes of dried fruit, clove, thyme and honey. Ideal as an aperitif on ice with a twist of citrus or in a broad array of traditional cocktails. -Distiller's Notes

TASTING NOTES
You know what they say, Muscadet all day! Here is another beautiful offering from the family behind Domaine de la Bregeonnette. Joseph Orieux founded this Domaine in the town of Vallet in the 1960's and has been organic from the start. The bouquet of this wine is ripe with lily of the valley, lime zest and pear blossom while the palate gets kissed by Empire apple, wet stone and a dash of sea salt. Pair this wine with the obvious.. oysters, but would be equally nice with any seafood, fried tofu or Brie.
