Deligeroy Cremant de Loire Brut Rosé
Review Date: 8-28-2010
This is the ultimate party and wedding Cremant rose of the year. It's easy on the palate, fun to drink and a great value. Nicely balanced acidity with a hint of minerality. There was even a strawberry flavor dancing in the back of my tongue...What's not to like?
Top Value!
Price: $12.99

I have been hooked to this Armagnac ever since working for K&L. Without going into details, the flavor is complex, spicy and nutty. A great nightcap on cool evenings! The Marie Duffau Napoleon is also the most affortable Armagnac in our line-up.
A must try!

2009 Pascal Janvier "Cuvée Silex" Jasnieres

This deliciously balanced Chenin Blanc delivers a mouthful of juicy honeydew, with undertone of lime and pear. Flirting with punchy minerality and a crisp finish...Absolutely wonderful!

Lillet Blanc 750ml
Review Date: 7-4-2010
Excellent aperitif wine to have, before moving on to the "next" stage. Drink it chilled or on the rock.
The Lillet is also a good substitute to have when I run out of white wine (gasp!). Yes, that even happens to professional drinkers !

St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 7-4-2010
The St.Germain Elderflower liqueur is my "secret" ingredient, to the extra layer of flavor and complexity in my cocktails. Not only it is heaven to sip in straight/on the rock, but it complements any vodka, tequila or Champagne perfectly !
This is a must have item in your bar...
