CLASSIC

A crisp gin, London Hill's bias towards subtle citrus tones comes from ribbons of citrus peel including lemon and sweet orange. This, along with the other carefully selected botanicals, gives a spicy fruit edge and delivers an exceptionally smooth and refined gin.

This is perhaps one of the best examples of Sangiovese you can find: Giovanna Morganti makes only one wine, “Le Trame,” and she makes it very, very well. She has fought with the DOC to create a classification of Chianti that reflects the land where it was grown. This struggle with and love of terrior is exactly what you’ll find in this bottle. Its nose is fresh with grassy red fruit and wet earth; its palate is elegant, structured and dark with velvety tannins. Be sure to decant this wine a good hour or two before enjoying it. This deep and complex wine is an absolute treasure and will only get better with age.

Three day’s drive from Delhi will find you in Goa, on India’s southwestern coast. Known for its white beaches, architectural jewels, and culinary heritage, Goa is home to Nao Spirits and the production of Jin JiJi and Hapusa Gins. Produced by Anand Virmani and Jay Dhawan, these spirits are distilled in copper pot, adding an additional layer of rarity to the already unique endeavor of making gin in India. Sourcing botanicals indigenous to the region, these spirits speak of place with a refreshing voice, adding value to a spirits category in which new products don’t easily distinguish themselves. Tasting Notes: Hapusa is a contemporary gin made for sipping and restrained cocktailing. Himalayan Juniper is combined with Turmeric, Coriander, Cardamom, Ginger, and Gindhoraj, a variety of lime that is one of the oldest in the world. The addition of Dried Mango and Almond lends exceptional texture to an overall palate of bold and bright earthiness. 43% ABV.

<p>A coastal gem with California soul. Crafted by Vicente Johnson from high-elevation vineyards just 14 miles from the Pacific, this small-production Pinot Noir channels the wild energy of Chile’s Casablanca Valley. Grown in striking red clay and quartz-rich soils, <em>Red Quartz</em> is all about brightness, lift, and coastal elegance. The wine opens with a vibrant burst of cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, layered with pomegranate, rose petal, and a hint of savory herb and spice. Aged in neutral oak for purity and finesse, it finishes mouthwatering and long, echoing with notes of cherry lambic, underbrush, and clove. Refined yet wild at heart—this is cool-climate Pinot with serious personality.</p>

The palate is supple, well balanced with aromatic persistence.

<p><br/></p><p>Monte Tondo is regularly recognized as one of the top producers in all of Soave, having garnered a small mountain (a “poggio”, if you will) of medals, awards, and ratings. From the same hillside cru used to produce their Soave Classico comes this “semi-sparkler”, a delightful frizzante that is light, zippy, and truly delicious. You’ve rarely (if ever) had Garganega like this – with aromas of citrus, pear blossom, and sea salt – all lifted by a gentle spritz. An intelligent, mineral-driven alternative to Prosecco, at a compelling price!</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>TASTING NOTES</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Color </strong>Pale yellow</p><p><strong>Nose </strong>White flowers, green apples and bread crust </p><p><strong>Palate </strong>Clean and crisp, with tiny “frizzante” bubbles </p><p><strong>Finish </strong>Refreshing, fun-loving, medium finish</p>

A blend of straight bourbon and bourbons finished in red wine and sherry casks. Lovely grain aromas, especially of porridge, along with cinnamon, clove, baked apple, citrus oil, honey-roasted peanuts, spearmint, and milk chocolate. Nuttier grain on the palate, which is led by red fruit, caramel, and lively spices: black pepper, cinnamon, allspice, candied ginger. Citrus oil, walnuts, and a bit of cigar tobacco lead into a nutty, somewhat light finish. The whiskey was distilled by Jim Beam master distiller Fred Noe and blended by Suntory master blender Shinji Fukuyo. -Susannah Skiver Barton

La Guita's Amontillado Sherry is a captivating expression from Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlúcar de Barrameda, renowned for high-quality Amontillados. This unique wine undergoes dual aging, first under flor and then oxidation, resulting in extraordinary complexity. With a mid-amber color, the nose reveals nutty notes with hints of sweet tobacco and vanilla. The taste profile is naturally dry, offering a complex interplay of sharp notes from extended flor aging and predominant characteristics of oxidative aging—spices and wood. The weighty palate delivers powerful nut and alcohol notes, culminating in a dry finish. Light and smooth with balanced acidity, La Guita's Amontillado enchants with a lingering aftertaste of nuts and wood—an essential companion for any meal.
