Avignonesi
Poggettti di Sopra
Sangiovese 2017
This wine is characterised by grace and elegance. The bouquet is full and ethereal of ripe fruit and cherries in alcohol accompanied by typical nuances of the Mediterranean scrub such as lavender, thyme and wild mint. On the palate it has a very large and sweet opening. The silky tannin spreads a dense texture accompanied by a warm and lively body where notes of fresh coconut and sweet
spices such as cinnamon persist.
“I want my wine to be true and authentic. Harmony in a glass.” — Matteo Giustiniani, CEO & Winemaker
Alain Jaume
Grande Veneur
Rhone Blend 2019
Established in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-
Pape, in the commune of Orange, the Jaume family
has been dedicated to the art of wine growing since
1826. Founded by Mathieu Jaume, the Domaine is
now run by the 5th and 6th generations of Jaumes:
Alain Jaume & his children Christophe, Sébastien,
and Hélène. The wine has notes of strawberry and
red cherry, balanced by hints of pepper and anise.
Yields are low, or kept under control by green harvesting. Harvesting by hand, from pruning the leaves to grapes, ensures the wines produced are of great quality.
Aubry Montagne
de Reims
Champagne Brut NV
One of the most original estates in Champagne, Aubry Fils is located in the village of Jouy-lès-
Reims, in the western sector of the Montagne de
Reims. Of the estate’s 15 hectares of vines, 12 lie in
Jouy and the nearby villages of Pargny-lès-Reims,
Villedommange and Coulommes-la-Montagne, all of which are classified as premier cru; the other
three hectares are located elsewhere and are sold
off to the négoce.
Twin brothers Pierre and Philippe farm parcels in the limestone and clay soils of Jouy, as well as sites in three other premiere cru villages.
Marimar
Christina
Pinot Noir 2017
The Don Miguel Vineyard Named after the late
patriarch of the Torres family, this sustainable
vineyard is located in the Green Valley — the
coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River Valley,
only ten miles from the Pacific. The European-style
high density of over 2,000 vines per acre provides
low yields and requires intensive labor; but the
vines live longer and the grapes acquire better
balance and greater concentration.
Why ‘Cristina’? Named after her only daughter, Cristina, this wine is a barrel selection from a unique blend of our Pinot Noir clones that we feel best represent the terroir, or personality, of the Don Miguel Vineyard.
Farmstrong
Wines
Claret 2017
Modeled after the classic “Clairet” of Bordeaux,
which were Bordeaux red blends that were more
moderate in tannin, often blended with Malbec to
craft a softer wine, the Farmstrong Field Claret is a
field blend of grapes picked on the same day, from
the same family vineyard, and then co-fermented
(all fermented in the same tank together). It’s a
blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec &
Petit Verdot from the Johnson Family Home Ranch
in Ukiah, CA
“I see these vineyards as treasures. As a winemaker it is my goal to preserve these treasures and share them as
wines.” — Faith Armstrong,

Bodega Chacra
Rio Negro “Barda”
Pinot Noir 2019
In Patagonia, a “chacra” is a special piece of land destined to pomology. At the same time, chacras are vital energy centers that provide us with the ability to connect with the whole universe, with everything living and vibrating. In its nourishment, in the marriage with every meal, wine is the companion of pleasure and sensitivity. Wine is intimate and touches all our senses. Chacra aims to enhance that connection.”

Morgan “Double L”
Chardonnay 2019
Conscientiously farmed since the original plantings
in 1997, today Morgan’s Double L Estate Vineyard is
the only certified organic vineyard in the Santa
Lucia Highlands. Located at the northern end of the
AVA, the vineyard’s north-south row orientation
provides optimal wind and sun exposure.
Notes of pineapple, lemon curd, and marshmallow
are echoed on the palate by butter toffee and
baked apple.
Dan’s leadership and expertise in the district led to his being named the first Board
President of the newly formed Santa Lucia Highlands’ winegrowers association in 2005.
Anthem
Winery
Sangiovese Blanc 2019
The Sauvignon Blanc Musque clone sings in this
wine, showcasing a bright bouquet of honeysuckle
and fresh flowers like jasmine and wisteria on the
nose. These fresh scents lead to a full-bodied taste
that is especially silky mid-palate due to the
addition of 2.5% Semillon. The rich palate displays
alluring notes of passion fruit, lemon merengue,
and apple pie crust, followed by a long lingering
finish. Only 92 cases were produced of this
exquisite, handcrafted wine.
“As proprietors, we’ve consistently provided the
team with very simple yet
important guidance: let every decision made be solely guided by its impact on the quality of wine we produce.” — Anthem Winery
Atilia
D’Abruzzo
Montepulciano 2018
100% Montepulciano, this delicious wine comes from 15-20 year old vines trained using the ancient method of trellising, known as “pergola.” They are planted to clay-rich soils, hand-harvested and wild yeast fermented for 2 weeks on the skins in stainless tanks. After a light fining and filtering, the wine is bottled. It offers rich, bright plum and cherries, with a lip-smacking finish.
Jasci family has been producing wine for three generations, focusing all efforts on the pursuit of the absolute quality of every bottle.
Kivelstadt Cellars
Wayward Son
Orange Wine 2020
Orange wine comes from skin fermented white grapes, so the juice extracts color, flavor and texture from white skins, giving it its orange hue.
Wayward Son is a skin fermented blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from Mendocino County. The wine has the flavor profile of white wine with the texture of a red wine making it extremely food friendly and fun to share.
Being a potter as well, Sam’s philosophies regarding craft are that of a give and take between nature. His goal is to
bring art to consumers/users of the craft and have them define the beauty within.
Pieropan Soave
Classico
Orange Wine 2020
Their liveliest and most youthful style from Soave Classico, the Pieropan family has been producing this wine since the early 1900’s. Generous, pleasingly fresh and versatile, it is made from the traditional varieties of Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grown in family-owned vineyards situated in the Soave Classico zone.
This estate represents for the family a strong renewal following the local tradition because the “future has an ancient heart”.

Rye
WhistlePig, a distiller and distributor of premium rye whiskeys, has seen the buffets of fortune but continues to grow at what chief marketing officer Jason Newell termed “a sustainable pace,” although

Willett produces the Family Estate Bourbon (Purple Top), Family Estate Rye (Green Top), Willett Pot Still Bourbon, Noah’s Mill, Rowan’s Creek, Old Bardstown, and Pure Kentucky.

The Vaults
Bourbon
The 2021 release combines 15-17 year old bourbons that have been carefully selected from our stocks housed in Red Hook by our very own Lisa Wicker. The whiskey is finished in unique Adirondack Oak casks coopered with 42 month air-
seasoned wood (50% longer than the standard 1-2
years). The extended outdoor maturation of the staves softens tannins and greenness in the wood yielding a one-of-a-kind flavor profile influenced by
each season. The result is an intense whiskey with
hints of cream, smoke, and spice.
“We work each day within this city, over these cobblestone streets, in Red Hook at the juncture of old and new New York City. Where things get done in their own way — a place that defines itself.”

High West
High Country
American Single Malt
High Country™ American Single Malt made in our
copper pot stills high in the Wasatch Mountains of
Utah. As admirers (and imbibers) of the famed
single malt whiskies of Scotland, we wanted to
create a uniquely crafted version of an American
single malt. To provide the robust, flavor-forward
profile more typical of American whiskeys and of
our High West style, High Country™ American
Single Malt is distilled “on-the-grain.” This means
that we leave the grain in during fermentation and
distillation, instead of filtering it out.
High West is
Utah’s first legal
distillery since 1870
and the world’s only
ski-in gastro-
distillery.
Barrell
Gold Label
Bourbon
Barrell Craft Spirits Gold Label Bourbon is a blend
of 16- and 17-year-old straight bourbons. Barrels for this release were selected from four different
collections: cherry bomb barrels with a rich mouthfeel, nutty oak-forward barrels, high proof
and high complexity barrels, and barrels with pronounced milk chocolate notes. The last group underwent a secondary maturation in toasted virgin American oak casks before being added to this intricate and seductive blend.”
“Our goal is to select and blend products that explore different distillation methods, barrels and aging environments, and bottle them at cask strength.”
