Osborne "Seven" Spanish Red blend in a 3 liter box
A premium blend of seven different grapes. Flavors of cherry and chocolate combine with a little spice to create a harmoniously balanced, fruit forward red wine. Packaged in a convienient box for extended freshness after opening.
Ghost Pines Zinfandel
Ghost Pines Zinfandel, opening with bright flavors of strawberry jam and ripe plum, and aromas of vanilla bean and mocha. Full and balanced, this Zinfandel boasts rich, chewy tannins that lead to a long and supple finish.
La Marca Prosecco
This sparkling wine is a pale, golden straw in color. Bubbles are full textured and persistent. On the nose the wine brings fresh citrus with hints of honey and white flowers. The flavor is fresh and clean, with ripe citrus, lemon, green apple, and touches of grapefruit, minerality, and some toast. The finish is light, refreshing, and crisp.
2006 Ksana Reserva Malbec
92 Points Wine Spectator
Very ripe, but also superfresh, with velvety texture and a long, beguiling palate of fig sauce, melted licorice, Turkish coffee, macerated currant and blackberry fruit. Long and dense on the finish, but pure and vivid. 250 cases made.
2008 Marilyn Merlot
Each new vintage of Marilyn Merlot is released on her birthday, June 1st, and sells out quickly. While collectors have made Marilyn Merlot one of the fastest-appreciating wines on the market, it is wine enthusiasts with a sense of humor who have long enjoyed the playful spirit behind Marilyn Merlot wines that are now also seeking the Marilyn Merlot because of the emphasis on making a notable wine from prized Napa Valley grapes.
2007 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache
96 Points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Good medium red. Explosive aromas of red berries, Oriental spices, pepper and truffley underbrush. The wild but utterly silky palate offers extraordinary sweetness and perfume, but with a savory, firm edge giving it shape and grip. Not at all a blockbuster, but impeccably balanced wine. The finish features utterly noble tannins and outstanding rising length. This actually shows less obvious sweetness today than the Romanee-Conti and thus comes across as every bit as tight as that wine.
2007 Domaine de la Romanee Conti St. Vivant
94 Points Allen Meadow's Bourghound Notes
An ultra elegant, pure and quite delicately fruited and spiced nose that is extremely fresh, floral and expansive that is more layered still as it introduces seductively textured, detailed and gorgeously delineated middle weight flavors that possess laser-like focus if less density than is usually seen with this wine. Indeed, this is rather like a ballerina with limited power and weight but the watch word here is purity, purity and purity. I quite like this but it will strike some as unduly light though I believe the underlying material is present such that it will add weight in bottle as it ages.
2007 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Richebourg
93 Points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Bright medium red. Pungent aromas of wild strawberry, minerals, spices and pepper. Not a fat wine but classy and suave, with terrific peppery, minerally lift in the middle palate. With aeration, this classically dry wine showed a stronger soil component and mounting power. Finishes with superb breadth and an impression of weightlessness. I might have initially mistaken this for the RSV-and vice-versa-had I tasted these blind, but this is ultimately the more powerful wine.
2007 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Grands Echezeaux
92 Points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Good bright medium red. Cherry liqueur, black raspberry and smoke on the sweet nose, along with some spicy oak. Offers more volume and breadth than the Echezeaux without any impression of weight thanks to piquant underlying minerality. Wonderfully silky and suave wine, finishing with building tannins, superb length and a strong impression of sucrosite.
2007 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Echezeaux
90 Points Allen Meadow's Bourghound Notes
A spicy, expressive and expansive nose of red berry fruit, distinct vegetal nuances, freshly sliced fennel and obvious earth notes that transfer over to the detailed, balanced and energetic flavors that possess excellent transparency on the vibrant and mouth coating finish. There is a lingering inner mouth perfume here that makes this quite seductive. Not surprisingly, this changed rather dramatically in the hour that I had to evaluate the ‘07s and the seemingly lighter weight flavors put on noticeable flesh though the nose slowly closed in on itself.
Spirits
Makers Mark 46
To create the product, master distiller Kevin Smith started with Maker's and dabbled for more than a year before hitting on the recipe.
Whiskey barrels storing Maker's are emptied so workers can insert oak planks inside each. The barrels are refilled and aged two to three months longer than traditional Maker's, which ages six to seven years. As Maker's 46 mingles with the wood, it takes on stronger hints of caramel, spice and vanilla
Riazul Premium Tequila Reposado
91 points Tequila.net
Riazul Premium Reposado Tequila is 100% Agave and aged for 9 months in American and French oak barrels. Riazul Reposado honors the refinement of a traditional Reposado, while delivering an independent streak in its subtle complexity.
Beer
Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale 22oz
100 points Ratebeer.com
A true work of art from the people at the Stone Brewery. Its bitterness hits our sweet spot. Its blackness lightens our hearts. Its liquid dichotomy pulls it all together in this sublimely sacrosanct ale.
Terrapin Side Project II Boom Shaka Lager
Boom ShakaLager is the next installment in Terrapin’s “Side Project” series of beers. This Imperial Lager is made exclusively with German malts, German hops and a true Bavarian lager yeast strain.
