“The 2016 Latour showed in stunning fashion out of barrel. Bottled in July 2018, it has retained a very deep, almost opaque color. The utterly beguiling bouquet features blackberry, graphite, crushed rose petals and a touch of licorice, though this ebbs with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with such fine tannins that the power and backbone of this Latour are barely registered by the senses. There is bewitching symmetry here, and incredible length, plus a persistency on the finish that is enthralling. Is it a perfect Latour like the best bottles of the 1928, 1961, 1982, 2000 and 2010? I think it might be. The 13.5% alcohol is a whole percentage point less than the 2010, making it more approachable. Drink 2023-2060"

"The 2017 Pontet-Canet is a vibrant and polished wine with aromas of black cherries, cassis, forest floor, and hints of violet. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers a rich and plush texture, supported by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. The palate showcases layers of ripe dark fruit, mineral complexity, and subtle spices. The finish is long and elegant, reflecting the vintage’s balance between concentration and freshness. Ready to enjoy now but built for several years of further ageing.”

99 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
"This has always been one of my favourite wines from the estate… a quintessentially elegant, classic wine of Bordeaux—firm, rigid… with loads of black currants, cedar wood and vanillin, needing 7–8 years of cellaring, and should last for 30+ years.”

Nose: Intense and complex aromas of ripe fruits, including plums and cherries, with hints of vanilla and cocoa.

Taste: Rich and velvety on the palate, with flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and a touch of spice.

Palate: Full-bodied and well-balanced, with a long and persistent finish that showcases the elegance and finesse of this grappa.

The Blasted Church Vineyards Syrah VQA typically offers a rich and complex tasting experience. The nose reveals notes of blueberry, plum, and violet, with a hint of gamey Syrah.

Lively acidity balances the mouthfeel, and fine-grained tannins persist throughout the finish.

R.Jelinek Premium Absinthe is characterized by a full-bodied aroma with a nose of fruity and fresh herbal notes. The palate offers a rich and balanced flavor, featuring soft, fresh, pure, fruity, aniseed, fennel, and herb notes. The finish is long-lasting and quite rich with a smooth texture.

This size is no longer available, but the 750ml is and can also be purchased in the Shot Glass Gift pack.

Winner of a 2016 World Beer Cup Award, The 33 Acres of Euphoria is a Belgian Trippel that is bottle conditioned and sold in 750ml bottles. Coming in at 9.2% alcohol this is a big and intense beer, don’t tell the food and inspection agency though as the beer is mislabeled as being a “strong beer” as opposed to “Extra Strong Beer”. This beer pours from the (not easily opened) corked bottle a colour of hazy gold topped with one finger of head that settles without a trace. The aroma is sweet with a moderate Belgian yeast character along side notes of coriander, wheat, orange peel and a mellow booziness. Tasting the beer, low carbonation meets a creamy mouthfeel and sweetness. The sweetness masks the boozy character from the nose and subdues the coriander spice and orange peel notes. While perhaps a touch under carbonated this is a well crafted, traditional style Belgian Tripel.

Alcohol-Removed Sparkling Dry Rose. Fruity and crisp blend of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminer grapes.

Vineyard notes: "Our new “Red Wine of the World,” this red blend is sourced from famed regions of southern Australia, the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Consisting of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon."

A market improvement on the previous vintage, this affordable Chard from the warm, inland Riverina region of New South Wales takes a little time to find its way out of the glass, but when it does knit together it offers notes of lemon zest, florals, oatmeal and toast. Acidity on the palate feels a touch forced, but overall there's lovely texture, bright fruit and a refreshing lack of heavy barrel work. Christina Pickard

One of the two most commercially important red grapes grown in Greece, Agiorgitiko is a light, lively variety that does especially well in the Pelopponese, where Papagiannakos is located. This wine exhibits a nose of playful spice and appetizing flavors of red berry and black currant. Mellow and balanced, it will pair well with heartier meat dishes as well as tomato-based pastas and poultry.

The term Recioto originates from the dialect word “recia,” meaning ear, referring to the top part of the grape bunches that receive the best exposure. This dessert wine pairs beautifully with various baked goods, especially traditional Veronese pandoro, panettone, pastries, and dark chocolate.

Introducing AmarNo, the non alcoholic evolution of Italy's famous Amari. For centuries, Italians have appreciated the flavour and medicinal properties of this bitter drink.

Another great wine from the Casale del Giglio winemaking family. Not only are the native varieties a specialty, but they have a solid foundation for some of the rarer French grape varieties also.  A native of the Jurançon region in the foothills of the French Atlantic Pyrenees, the small-berried, thick-skinned Petit Manseng grape from which this white wine is made, is more highly regarded than its larger-berried sibling, Gros Manseng. Antonio Santarelli and his visionary enologist Paolo Tiefenthaler recognized the huge potential of this grape variety in the fertile grounds in their Lazio vineyards. The wine is intensely aromatic, fruity and spicy on the nose, fresh, crisp and flinty on the palate. An exquisitely structured wine which bows out on a seductive, fruit-filled finish. A truly stunning wine for the price. 

If you're looking for Beaujolais Cru, look no further. Of the 10 Cru, CLS has wines from seven. Rather than sourcing the grapes from all across the Beaujolais region, each individual Cru has their own terroir and soil structure; all made with 100% Gamay with the resulting wines unique and set-apart from each other. Moulin-a-Vent is known as one of the more 'robust' Cru. From the Les Thorins sector of Moulin-à-Vent, this wine is dense with some solid tannins.

Critic tasting note: "Despite the fact that at 126 proof it may be best suited for lighting your tiki torches, it has body and a juicy, apple-like sweetness. However, it finishes so fiery it's literally tongue-numbing. Use sparingly as a float on top of tiki drinks." - 85/100, Wine Enthusiast

Bright yellow-gold with golden highlights, this wine boasts strong aromatic intensity. The nose is rich and open, featuring exotic fruits, white flowers, caramel, and vanilla against a backdrop of toasted bread. Fresh on the palate with an opulent, smooth, and round body, it finishes with good aromatic persistence of fruit, balanced by acidity and roundness.

Aged in virgin American white oak whiskey barrels, this smokin', oaken gin is a whiskey drinker's botanical dream.

Slow distilled and enriched by time, fire, and oak, this gin can be savoured on its own or enjoyed in a gin or whiskey cocktail.

"There is still some youth in this Champagne. Its red fruits and balancing acidity and texture are finely poised, the wine showing its good percentage of Pinot Noir in the blend. It is already rich and will gradually move into greater maturity. Drink now for freshness or wait until at least 2026 for maturity." - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast

From the prestigious area of Montefalco in Umbria, Perticaia is embracing all the native grapes of the area. This rosato is made from 80% Sagrantino, which is undoubtedly one of the most tannic grapes in all of Italy, balanced by 20% Sangiovese.  The wine is fine and elegant with floral hints of wild rose and fruity hints of peach and grapefruit. Well balanced with medium, mouth-watering acidity.

Strong nose with aromas reminiscent of cherry & blackberries and a little pepper. This pinot noir is a classic fall and winter wine. The optimum drinking temperature is 16 to 18 degrees. It goes well with game and roasts with dark sauces.

The proprietary spice blend made with kola nut extract gives this one-of-a kind spiced rum hints of vanilla and coffee. Makes the ultimate Rum & Cola.

Batch #12, blended by Rhea, features a unique mix of well-aged, bold bourbons: 7- to 14-year-old bourbons combined with two different 4-year-old bourbons.

Critic tasting note: "This powerful, full-bodied yet velvety wine boasts complex aromatics, muscular tannins and deep, uber-ripe fruit flavors.
