Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2021 (3rd Wine of Sassicaia)
Bright red with purple nuances. Respectable acidity and PH and a beautiful balance of musts that are well structured but harmonious and fruity. Blending wines with a non-invasive structure, a good balance in terms of acidity and density of the wine, combined with soft and well-integrated tannins. Beautiful spiciness. A pleasant palate of every day wine drinking, with juicy red fruits. A very good wine that is meant to be enjoyed young.
Pair with grilled steak or steak salad, hamburgers and other casual but flavorful beef dishes. Has good acidity to compliment marinara and bolognese sauces.
Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon
Dassai Junmai Daiginjo 45 1800ml
“There is no reason for us to craft sake unless it’s super delicious.”, this is the Dassai way. Using Yamada-Nishiki rice polished down to 45%, we deliver fruit aromatics and delicate sweetness.
Made from Yamadanishiki rice (the highest quality rice for sake) polished to 45% of its original volume, Dassai 45 presents a fresh and fruity palette with aromas of pear, grape, pineapple, apricot and watermelon but also notes of chestnut and puffed rice.
This rich, structured and powerful sake can be enjoyed chilled as an aperitif but is also the ideal companion for all types of dishes such as white meats and poultry as well as cheese.
Sake or nihonshu is a Japanese alcoholic beverage with a volume of 14 to 17%. It is made from a mixture of water, yeast and steamed rice, a small part of which has been inoculated with a microscopic fungus, the koji, in order to improve fermentation.

Louis M. Martini Monte Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Our 2018 Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a slice of history in a glass. We gathered the fruit from a selection of our favorite blocks in our historic Monte Rosso Vineyard, including the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon block in California. The nose fills with Monte Rosso’s signature spice and sweet wood aromatics and a thread of smoky ancho. Notes of ripe cherry, black currant and warm plum compote fill the palate. Underlying hints of sarsaparilla and caramelized oak lead to a long, earthy finish with a touch of wet clay.
Varietal : 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
"Ripe, focused and nicely structured, this full-bodied wine wraps delicious, tangy red cherries and plump black cherries in rather firm tannins, keeping them fresh for longer aging. The wine's oak spices are subtle and well integrated with the concentrated fruit flavors. This wine will drink best from 2028 through 2040. Jim Gordon" - Wine Enthusiast

Juyondai Shichitare Nijikkan
The Juyondai Shichitare Nijjukkan Junmain Daiginjo sake is a premium sake that is considered as one of the rarer series of rice wine in Japan. It is highly sought after as the production for this sake is considerably less than those of other kinds of sake.
Utilising the special technique created by Takagi Shuzo, 75kg of rice water is used, extracting sake after pressing the bag 7 times and allowing it to drip from the bag. This time consuming method and small amount of sake collected each time make this sake very are and limited. Polished to 35%, the sake excuses a velvety texture amidst its richness. Â
With a ginjyo aroma of ripe melon and white peaches, the sake is beautifully layered with delicate fragrance.
Food Pairing: Sauce skewers, Hot pot, Boiled food, Seafood, and Salt-grilled dishes
Jayson by Pahlmeyer Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
"Effusive aromas of blackberry pie, cassis, and leather greet the nose, foretelling the full, expressive palate. Intense notes of blackberry and plum interweave with flecks of pink peppercorn and plowed earth, amplified by a lift of fresh acidity. The tannins are firm yet seamlessly melded with the rich fruit, driving to a plush, juicy finish." –Katie Vogt, Winemaker
