1973 Domaine d'Ognoas K&L Exclusive Vintage Bas-Armagnac 750ml
Review Date: 5-20-2013
A fantastic value. This d'Ognoas is full bodied and spicey with beautiful aromatics. I really like the 2000 Domaine d'Ognoas and the 1973 shows that extra aging adds comcentration and spice to a lovey Armagnac.
Price: $129.99
Takatenjin "Soul of the Sensei" Junmai Daiginjo 720ml
Review Date: 5-20-2013
The first word that came to my mind when I tasted this sake was "pure". The Takatenjim is clean, delicious and multidimensional. It should please any lover of sake. On the dry side, it will go well alone or with lighter foods.
Price: $43.99
2010 Robert Craig "Affinity" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend
Review Date: 5-20-2013
A big wine full of juicy complex fruit that has accents of vanilla from oak aging.The Affiniy is a Bordeaux style blend that is complex with a lot going on in it. In short, a fun yet serious wine.
2010 Donati Family Vineyard Paicines Claret
Review Date: 5-20-2013
This Donati Claret is very easy to drink and enjoy. It is juicy and round with layers of different flavors. It will go well with hearty foods or alone for those who like to sip on a full bodied red wine.
Price: $15.99
Rusty Blade K&L Exclusive "Cask B" Single Barrel Cask Strength Barrel-Aged Gin 750ml
Review Date: 5-18-2013
Of the two single cask Rusty Blade offerings cask B was the more subtle one. There are juniper and baking spices but they a slightly more delicate and nuanced than cask A. Cask B , however, is the fuller bodied of the two.
Price: $67.99
Rusty Blade K&L Exclusive "Cask A" Single Barrel Cask Strength Barrel-Aged Gin 750ml
Review Date: 5-18-2013
This aged gin is full of expressive and pronounced aromatics and flavor. There is juniper mixed with baking spice flavors enveloped in a full bodied and round liquid.In other words, it is delicious, unique, is good alone and should go well in creatively inspired cocktails.
Price: $67.99
2010 Erik Banti "Ciabatta" Morellino di Scansano Riserva
Review Date: 5-17-2013
The Erik Banti Ciabatta is 85% Sangioves, 10% Alicante and 5% Ciliegiolo and is a good alternative to Chianti. The flavor of the Sangiovese is fattened up by the Alicante and creates a wine that is medium to full bodied,has nice fruit,and is balanced with complexity and acidity. It is delicious and interesting and will go well meats, pasta and pizza.
Price: $18.99
2010 Erik Banti "Carato" Toscana
Review Date: 5-17-2013
When you taste this wine you won't believe that it only cost $6.99. It is a bright juicy medium bodied wine that is easy to drink alone and will go well with pasta and pizza.

Review Date: 5-17-2013
Delicious and just packed full of flavor. This 22 year old Mortlach is dark brown from the sherry cask aging. It is rich, round and mouth filling with lots of flavors to think about and enjoy.

Germain Robin Low Gap 2 Year Old Wheat Whiskey 750ml
Review Date: 4-15-2013
I think that Germain Robin makes elegant and well crafted spirits. The Low Gap is no exception from the other quality Germain Robin products. It is interesting and different but a pleasure to drink. It is smooth and round with a little spice. The Low Gap is medium bodied and a joy to drink.
Price: $59.99
Port Charlotte 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 4-15-2013
This Port Charlotte 10 year old is a delicious single malt for those who love a little smoke with their drink. In the mouth there is a nice almost creamy roundness with subtle hints of brine. It is one of the most elegant smokey single malts from Islay that I have had.
Price: $59.99
2012 Skouras "Zoe" Rosé Peloponnese
Review Date: 4-15-2013
This was such a joy to drink. It has a deep color and is such a pretty wine to smell. It has bright lively aromas that are so inviting. In the mouth the Zoe is full bodied and juicy, but ends nice and dry. It drinks well alone but will go well with fish or fowl.
Price: $9.99
1993 Glenmorangie Ealanta 19 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 750ml

This Glenmorangie Ealanta is soft and round and very easy to drink. There are nice bourbon like aromas followed by flavors of rich malt, vanilla, spice and a nice long finish.
Price: $115.99
Laphroaig "Triple Wood" Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 3-11-2013
Big and smokey are two words to describe this lusty and delicious single malt. The Triple Wood Laphroaig differs from other Laphroaig bottlings by the round richness provided by the used sherry barrel aging.
Price: $64.99
