4 Monos Viticultores Vinos De La Sierra De Gredos GR 10 Tinto 2021 1.5L
$60.00Add to cart4 Monos, which translates to 4 Monkeys, is a team of four friends who met while hiking in the Gredos mountains, one of the most profound interesting terroirs to emerge in recent years as we explore the more modern expressions of Spanish wine. An hour outside of Madrid, the Sierra de Gredos range has high elevation vineyards that are a collision of Mediterranean and Alpine influences. The organic grapes that go into the GR-10 are treated minimally, with a light hand in the cellar, resulting in a wine that’s affordable but still highly representative of the Sierra de Gredos terroir. It’s juicy, fruit forward, but still has an earthy complexity, and being in Magnum it’s easy to bring to a party.

Domaine des Marechaux Bordeaux Superieur 2020
$17.00Add to cart100% merlot made from 30 year old vines farmed at Europe’s highest level of sustainability. Aged in concrete vats. A really great way to learn what merlot should taste like.
This is a fresh take on Bordeaux – has all of the dark fruit you want out of Merlot and a touch of spice, without being overly oaked or tannic. Supple enough to drink on its own or to cut through fatty meats at the table. Definitely over delivers for the price point! – Ben

Doyard Brut Blanc des Blancs Cuvee Vendemiare
$80.00Add to cartThis champagne is not quite like any other; it’s got its bubbly personality, but they are softer bubbles, more nuanced; the wine itself is luscious and gives you more than you might expect at first. The wine asks you to look at champagne differently with a different perspective and opens your eyes to the potential. – David
-
Kriz Plavac Mali 2020
$29.00Add to cartPlavac Mali is one of the most interesting grapes around. It’s the progenitor of Primitivo, which is actually Zinfandel! How do we know this? In the first DNA mapping researchers from UC Davis reversed the search until they found out that all the way on the Dalmatian coast. It’s a deep, dark, highly dense wine that screams out for a steak.
-

Obsidian Ridge Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$50.00Add to cartThis is a wine that is an exploration of volcanic soil in a part of the world where twenty years ago, they planted a vineyard on an old abandoned walnut orchard, 2,875 feet high in the Mayacamas Mountains that turned out to be a ridge of solid black Obsidian glass. All of the extremes in this site come together to form a truly interesting wine that we think is worth trying for any Cabernet fan.

Pray Tell Skin Contact Orange 2023

-
Ridge Lytton Springs 2022
$89.00Add to cartThe Ridge Lytton Springs wine is the second step up in the storied producer’s Zinfandel offerings. Celebrating their 50th vintage from this old vine site (that already had 80 year old vines on the property) the wine is Zin dominant with a bit of Petite Sirah, Carignane, and a kiss of Alicante Bouschet. It has a complex nose of boysenberry, cigar box, anise and sage, and is full-bodied with mouth coating tannins and balanced acidity to round it out. Notes of plum, blackberry, mineral, pepper, and dark chocolate play on the tongue. Yum.

Rowan’s Creek Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
$53.00Add to cart“My staff pick is the Rowan’s Creek Kentucky Bourbon, produced by the Willet Distillery. I enjoy the robust caramel and vanilla notes with a distinctive floral undertone that adds depth to the flavor. This small batch of bourbon was initially aged with a 12-year statement but now is produced without an age declaration. Despite its 100.1 proof, the bourbon has a smoothness that makes it somewhat versatile. I recently paired the bourbon with pulled pork, and the rich fattiness brilliantly complemented the sweetness of the spirit.” – Steve

Select Aperitif Liqueur
$38.00Add to cartThis is the Venetian classic, the original spritz mixer. Forget the sweeter Aperol and the more familiar Campari and do as the Venetians do and get a Spritz with Select. (Will’s Favorite Spritz)
-
The Project “Clove Hitch”” Cabernet Sauvignon”
$27.00Add to cartA Community Wine and Spirits exclusive!
This delicious and juicy Cabernet is from Horse Heaven Hills, Washington, and is full of dark berry flavors that mix with a delicate spice. It’s firm and fleshy without being syrupy and oaked without being oaky. An incredibly balanced palate plays off of the more subtle notes milk chocolate, orange peels, and violets.
A stellar wine at a steal of a price.
