Podere Le Ripi Lupi e Sirene Riserva 2016
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
A bright delicate ruby red, that offers the typical transparency of Brunello. At the nose, it expresses a fine bouquet, where small red fruits are surrounded by earthy and irony notes. In the mouth, it offers purity and energy without it being excessive. A rich and linear body, so fluent and polished that will capture the total attention of all of your senses for a very long time. All of the above characteristics are typical of this balanced 2016 vintage, the climate favoured a slower and balanced ripening of the grapes.
Food Pairing: Grilled dishes of any kind, aged cheeses, pizza, pasta and casseroles.
Recommended Serving Temperature: from 18° to 20°C.
Ageing: 36 months aging in oak barrels, followed by a passage of 12 months in cement and a minimum aging of 16 months in bottle
Grape variety: 100% Sangiovese
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Lupi e Sirene emerges from the bottle with lots of pretty aromatic intensity and purity. The bouquet is laced with bold cherry, sweet raspberry, red rose, earth, balsam herb and sweet almond. It boasts a beautiful appearance in the glass with a dark, shiny ruby color. On the palate, it produces a silky, glossy texture that lasts long and is fueled by the fresh acidity you always get with Sangiovese. - Monica Larner, Robert Parker
Gonzalez Byass Cuatro Palmas
Complex, intense and sharp. Time and the winery have turned this very Old Amontillado into a “handkerchief wine” (from the old custom of sprinkling a couple of drops of one of the most aromatic, heady Amontillados or Olorosos onto a handkerchief), a perfume from Jerez. Just one barrel was selected, No.3, ageing in the La Constancia Solera Museum before being released.
Barrel no. 3 is evocative of grandeur, of a cult wine: Cuatro Palmas. Aromas of an antique shop in perfect harmony with spices and vanilla-like touches that make this wine a perfume in its own right.
Coup de Foudre Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
The 2018 Coup de Foudre Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot from our Calistoga, Napa Valley vineyards.
Intense aromatics of fresh dark berries and deep, complex tannins comingle with melted chocolate and cassis to create a Bordeaux-esque palate profile. This wine will age
extremely well.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is described as a real beauty by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) with a redolent of blueberry jam, spice, mint, lavender and black cherry, all with terrific energy and superb balance. Vivid and sumptuous.
Gonzalez Byass Nectar PX
Tenuta Sant’Antonio Lilium Est Amarone Della Valpolicella Riserva 2008
The flower among flowers of Valpolicella. In Latin, the name of the reserve means “it is a lily”.
This Reserve is dedicated to the best of the whole field. Produced from the municipality of Mezzane di Sotto - Monti Garbi District (Verona).
- Colour: Inky ruby red, clear and consistent.

Tertiary aromas of cocoa, chocolate, goudron, almond, toasted hazelnuts, and pipe tobacco.
- Palate: Dry, warm, and soft, well supported by a notable acidity, richness of flavour and rounded tannin content. Very persistent and fine balance. Certainly ready, a wine with strong shoulders that can stand the test of time.
- Corvina and Corvinone 70% - Rondinella 20% - Croatina 5% - Oseleta 5%.
Cockburn’s 10 Years Old Tawny
Ten-Year-Old tawnies are blends of wines of the highest quality that have spent an average of ten years ageing in oak casks, until they reach the perfect level of maturity. They are, then, bottled ready to be enjoyed.
Cockburn’s 10 Year Old Tawny has a bright tawny red colour. On the nose lively candied fruit aromas, combine with toffee, caramel, and honey. On the palate beautifully rounded, with delicious mature dried fruits and hints of walnuts and almonds, exquisitely mellow and a
long luscious finish.
Cockburn’s 10 Year Old Tawny is a perfect match to sweet pastries, such as apple pie with cinnamon. An excellent alternative to Vintage Port to enjoy with good friends on informal relaxed occasions. Will keep for some weeks after opening. Serve lightly chilled to enjoy at its finest.
Old Forester 100 Proof
A favorite of bartenders, 100 Proof honors the legacy of founder George Garvin Brown, who put his signature on every bottle. And this bourbon is one he would be proud to have his name on today.
Handpicked from select barrels, Old Forester 100 Proof is a rich, complex bourbon. Spicy and robust, it is bottled at 100 Proof to maintain its distinct character and full flavor profile.
- Nose : Strong, sweet coffee laced with chocolate, creamy butterscotch and a hint of liquorice.
- Taste : Ripe apple and other sweet fruit, bakery spice (clove and nutmeg), and toasted oak.
- Finish : Sweet and light, with hints of oak and apple that linger a bit.
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye
Single Barrel Tennessee Rye Whiskey draws its wonderful flavor from a unique 70% rye grain bill, matured to perfection in our handmade oak barrels, positioned in the upper reaches of our barrelhouses. Bottled at 94 proof, this is a big, bold rye that does not overpower. Complex flavors of ripe fruit mingle with light toasted oak notes, allowing the rye grain to shine through, creating a taste rich with spice and a pleasant lingering finish.
Nose: Hazelnut and almond, spicy grain and an underlying hint of corn.
Taste: This well-rounded rye whiskey brings out sweet caramel and dry baking spice.
Finish: Pleasant lingering finish.

Herradura Reposado
The Original Reposado. Tequila Herradura introduced the world to Reposado in 1974 and has been setting the standard ever since.

This additional time spent resting in charred American White Oak barrels creates a smooth, sweet finish with a slight taste of spice.
Colour: Rich amber with shades of copper from barrel-aging
Nose: Warm notes of anise, fruit, and spices
Taste: Cooked agave, vanilla, and butter
Finish: Smooth and sweet with a touch of spice

Woodford Reserve® Master Collection Brandy Cask Finish
The Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Brandy Cask Finish is the latest and 11th release in the series. As the first whiskey to be finished in an American brandy cask, this new expression is yet another product of Woodford Reserve’s continued appreciation and commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
Brandy, a spirit distilled from wine or fruit, is often aged in oak barrels. These may be used a number of times because Brandy does not have the new, charred barrel requirement that our Kentucky Bourbon does. Finishing fully matured Woodford Reserve in these barrels does not add any new flavours to the whiskey, but instead accentuates Woodford Reserve’s rich dried fruit and nut characteristics that come from our grain recipe and long fermentation process.

[Bundle of 3] Le Volte dell’ Ornellaia 2020
Ruby red with purple reflections, Le Volte dell' Ornellaia 2020 has a vinous bouquet, releasing a complexity of aromas ranging from ripe red fruits, to Mediterranean scrub, up to delicate notes of tobacco and spices. The mouthfeel is soft and silky, but at the same time supported by a lively acidity that gives us a crisp, persistent finish.
"A blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Ornellaia 2020 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia shows medium darkness and texture followed by a very primary and fruit-forward bouquet. There is a generous display of cherry, cassis and wild plum. On second nose, this easy and straightforward Tuscan blend reveals hints of spice, cardamon and polished river stone. In a hot vintage like this, the wine comes together nicely and rather effortlessly." - 90 points, Robert Parker
