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.

The epitome of the “local” farm-to-table movement, this sake is made only with rice, water, and labor from its own prefecture.

With sweet rice aromas surrounded with floral fresh herb spiciness, this slightly dry, medium-bodied Sake has mouthwatering apple flavors with an agreeable earthiness on the mid-palate. Clean and focused on the finish, this Sake would be delightful with any tempura dish, pork dishes or pickled and fermented foods.

“Lurid red. Vibrant, sharply focused scents of ripe red berries and candied flowers are complicated by suggestions of cinnamon and allspice. Lithe and appealingly sweet on the palate, offering intense raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors that deepen and spread out with air. The floral note comes back strong on the clinging, spice-laced finish, which is given shape by harmonious, slow-building tannins. This wine delivers outstanding value and is an auspicious inaugural offering for this project.”

Since 1865, this spicy, earthy apéritif has been known as “ouvre l’appétit” - the key to the appetite.

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.

The ‘17 seems to possess a unique suggestion of spearmint, which is a fragrance that seems to pop up every now and then in other varieties grown at Beeswax Vineyard.

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…

A Pét-Nat or Pétillant Naturel is a sparkling wine that undergoes more fermentation in the bottle and does not get disgorged. This usually means an unfiltered, rustic wonder. "Roig Boig" surely captures that essence with notes of preserved lemon, pizza dough and nectarines on the nose. While on the palate, hints of sour cherry, limestone and apricots will surely take you away to the beaches of Barcelona.

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.
