Michel Huard Hors d'Age '99, '92, '90 Calvados 750ml
Review Date: 1-9-2012
This is a dynamite Calvados that should please any lover of the wonderful apple brandies from the Calvados region. It has bright apple flavors that are balanced out with a supple roundness and complexity that is a little like a nice cognac. There are delicious almost wood and butter like flavors in the finish.
Price: $69.99
2002 Bruno Michel "Cuvee Millésime" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 11-7-2011
A luxery Champagne at an affordable price. Bruno Michel 2002 is full bodied with layers of wonderful bright flavors. While it has nice fruit, it ends with a nice dry crisp finish. The 2002 Cuvee Millesime drinks very good now but could also be aged for a few more years.
Price: $59.99
St. George Terroir Mt. Tam Gin 750ml
Review Date: 10-3-2011
What an exciting idea. Distill a gin using some botanicals from a local area.The St. George Terrior Mt. Tam is more that a good project, it also tastes good and expands the bonderies of flavors for a gin. There are aromas of juniper and bay laurel that are followed by flavors of juniper, bay laural, sage and fir. A gin to think about and enjoy.
Price: $30.99
St. George Dry Rye Gin 750ml
Review Date: 10-3-2011
This is a bright and full bodied gin. There are plenty of juniper aromas and flavors but not too much to get in the way of this being a wonderful drink. There are aromas of juniper and spice that are followed by malty and spicy (black pepper and juniper,etc.) flavors. I really liked this gin and think that it will taste great on the rocks.
Price: $30.99
St. George Botanivore Gin 750ml
Review Date: 10-3-2011
There seems to always be something exciting and delicious coming from the people at St. George. The Bontanivore is a lovely and aromatic offering. It is complex with layers of enticing aromas but is not light or flavorless. If I had to choose a word for this gin it would "elegant". I would also add delicious.
Price: $30.99
Rattray's Selection 19 Year Old Batch No. 01 Cask Strength Blended Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 9-23-2011
We don't see a lot of blended single malt whiskeys. If they could be as good as the Rattray Selection maybe we should. This is a rich and round malt with layers of rich, sherry barrel-influenced flavors.The Bowmore in the blend provides some smoky flavor that does not dominate but adds harmony to this tasty spirit.
Price: $89.99
Antech "Brut Nature" Blanquette de Limoux
Review Date: 9-23-2011
This a wonderful sparkling wine. It is bright and full of refreshing crisp flavors. There is no dosage but the Antech Brut Nature is not overly dry and bitter. It is, instead, a lively and dry wine. Great alone, it should also go well with light foods.
Price: $12.99
Adrien Camut 12 year old Calvados Pays d'Auge 750ml
Review Date: 9-12-2011
Camut makes fantastic Calvados and this 12 year old stands out as a perfect example of this producers craft. It is round,with pronouced apple flavors,and is toped off with a honey like aromas and taste. It is an interesting and delicious after dinner drink.
Price: $94.99
Chiyomusubi Kitaro Jungin Junmai Ginjo 180ml
Review Date: 8-15-2011
This single serving sake is very easy to drink. It starts out slightly sweet, has a nice soft mouth feel and then finishes clean and dry.
Price: $7.99
Chiyomusubi Oyaji Gokuraku Junmai Ginjo 180ml
Review Date: 8-13-2011
This is a wonderful sake. It is very dry, expansive with layers of flavor, and is smooth and slightly creamy.I think that the Oyaji is a real value, offering a flavorful sake for a reasonable price. It should go well with sushi or fried chicken.
Price: $7.99
Poochi Poochi Sparkling Sake 300ml
Review Date: 8-13-2011
This sake is slightly sparkling with small fizzy bubbles that are refreshing. The Poochi-Poochi is soft, light and fruity with a nice dry and clean finish. It will go well alone or with light foods like a salad.
Price: $10.99
Shirosasa Nigori Sake 300ml
Review Date: 8-13-2011
This sake is unfiltered and should be shaken before serving. The Shirosasa looks almost like a glass of milk and has a creamy and sweet taste. It is soft and very easy to drink.
Price: $5.99
Sorelle Bronca Prosecco
Review Date: 8-13-2011
One of my favorite proseccos.The Sorelle Bronca is bright and juicy,with nice bubbles and enough sweetness for balance and enjoyment. This sparkler is great alone or as a mixer. A great party wine.
Price: $16.99
2001 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc
Review Date: 8-1-2011
If you are looking for a Bordeaux that is mature and drinking well now, the 2001 Lanessan is good choice. It has a nice and interesting aromas of a classic Bordeaux. In the mouth, it has wonderful fruit that is balanced out with earthy flavors and ends with a nice dry finish. The 2001 Lanessan will go well with beef or pork and is a steal at only $19.99.
Price: $19.99
Caveau du Mont July Bugey Cerdon Rosé
Review Date: 7-4-2011
This seductive sparkling wine is very pretty to look at. It has a nice beguiling pink hue and lively bubbles. It is off dry to slightly sweet but is balanced,refreshing and tasty. Great alone, it will also go well with fresh fruit, butter cookies or chocolate.
Price: $15.99
