Disco in not dead! With vines planted in the mid 70's, this wine screams of Diana Ross, Chic, and The Bee Gees. The vineyards are nestled in a picturesque area between the Maiella mountains and the Adriatic sea which results in a unique microclimate with very diverse soil.

TASTING NOTES
The Averaen opens with aromatic plumes of red fruits and earth – spiced raspberry and macerated strawberry aromas are blackened by sappy/maple tones and elevated by fresh-cut flowers, cardamom and sanguine notes. A lively and explosive entry of summer berries gives way to a decked-out mid-palate wrapping the red-blue berry character around a generous core of sage, allspice and licorice. Tightly knit layers of fruit, earth and oak & stem derived tannins provide a long, electrifying finish. -Importer's Notes

TASTING NOTES
"I'm floating down a river, oars freed from their homes long ago." Kenny Likitprakong is one of our favorite producers and this is the wine that started it all. Kenny is half Thai, and after searching for a California wine that would pair well with Thai food, Kenny decided to just make his own. Subtle scents of jasmine, lychee, and dried mango permeate the nose, while flavors of green papaya, honeysuckle, and apple are adrift on your taste buds. Pair this wine with Thai food (obviously), roast turkey, or crab dip.
Basil Hayden's Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 375ml
$24.00
Basil Hayden's Bourbon dates back to 1796, when Master Distiller Basil Hayden Sr. created a recipe unlike any other. He used a traditional corn base, but mixed in small grains in his mash to capture the spicy flavor of rye and complement the sweet smoothness of corn. More than 200 years later, Basil Hayden's is a singular bourbon that bridges the flavor of rye whiskies and small batch bourbons together. Enriched by a hint of peppermint, it impresses with notes of pepper balanced by slight citrus overtones, and a spicy, warming finish. Aged eight years at a relatively mild 80 proof, Basil Hayden's has a broad appeal and is equally enjoyable alone or in cocktails.

TASTING NOTES
Located in the mountains northwest of Madrid, Bernabeleva produces Garnachas unlike any other in the world—intense yet ethereal—that give voice to an ancient region’s Celtic roots.
The intensely floral bouquet offers aromas of strawberry, raspberry, rose, magnolia, and Asian spices; similar to a rustic Pinot Noir, but the body and weight is very much old vine Grenache. Eighty-year-old vines offer fresh and energetic fruit in the mouth, with sweet red berry flavors unfettered by tannins. The spiciness is mirrored on the finish, which is long and very pure. -Importer's Notes

Bonal Gentiane Quina

Since 1865, this spicy, earthy apéritif has been known as “ouvre l’appétit” - the key to the appetite. Serious in its role as an apéritif, and then popular with sportsmen, Bonal became an early sponsor of the Tour de France. 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. Excellent with hard, salty cheeses, salted nuts, or earthy, spicy foods. -Importer's Notes

Over the last twenty-plus years, Tue-Boeuf has evolved from maverick to mature, into one of the standard-bearers for natural wine in the Touraine and all of France, without losing their renegade spirit (or their tongue-in-cheek humor which shows up on labels as well as in person). That Puzelat passion for their home terroir--all things local and Loire—is evident in the purity and personality of the wines in the bottle. -Importer's Notes
Every year, we always are excited to receive the new vintages of these wines. Clean and pure, they always seem to delight with robust personality and honest expressions of the varietals and the soil they have been grown. This is a fun and refreshing vin de soif bursting with honeyed, floral aromas and herbaceous freshness that leads into flavors of stone fruits laced with a citrus, minerally kiss. You can sip this one on it's own or if you'd like a snack, keep it simple and add a board of crackers and goat cheese.

TASTING NOTES
With the success of our Tears of Vulcan skin-contact white blend, we knew we were on to something. The trouble is that we only make two barrels of that wine, so there's never enough to satisfy everyone's "orange craving" for more than a few months. The solution: make another "orange" wine. The 2019 Vin de Days L'Orange is our way to get you the textural and aromatic circus that you're looking for, without having to wait until June for the Tears to come around. This blend of 37% Riesling, 32% Müller-Thurgau, and 31% Gewürztraminer is a marvelous expression of these aromatic varietals and what can be achieved with a little skin contact (21 days to be exact). The beautiful, tropical Gewürz notes of lychee, grapefruit, and mango juxtapose in wonderful fashion with the racy, smoky minerality of the Riesling, while the Müller adds a subtle floral lift and acidic nuance to the firmly textured palate. With time and air, the fruit profile becomes richer and spicier with notes of candied orange rind and dried apricot. The finish remains vibrant and grippy even through the second day of being open. It's everything you're looking for from an aromatic "orange" wine, and it's ready to go right now. -Winemaker's Notes

TASTING NOTE
This Mourvedre and Syrah duo came about after I had blended together my 2017 Funky Drummer. I had several lots of really delicious wine that didn’t make that blend, so, taking my cue from the musical inspiration already in the air, I decided the A-side cut (Funky Drummer) needed a B-Side.
The Mourvèdre comes from a plot at 2900’ near Camino, CA, on volcanic loam soil. This is a young-ish vine plot that previously went into our Jambalaia Rouge blend. Bright, full of energy, with a slight autumnal feel to the wine. The Syrah is from Sumu Kaw, also on volcanic soils at 3000'. These vines are mature, and lend a bit of gravitas to the blend, helping to anchor the wine and showing lovely flashes of smoke and soil. Everything was whole cluster fermented and aged in tank. Together, we have a perfect red wine for Fall drinking.
