Tasting Notes: Ardbeg says it best themselves, revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. In my opinion, the Ardbeg 10 year is the best example of a fantastic Islay scotch. Non-chill filtered aged in ex-bourbon casks give smoky dried fruit, green bell pepper, and intense peat on the nose. Accompanied first with peat, black pepper, and cinnamon-spiced toffee. Balanced with salinity and smooth buttermilk. Most notably, the smoke is persistent yet softly accentuates the softer notes to get cappuccino and toasted marshmallow notes. On the finish is dry espresso, and toasted nuts. An excellent entry into the world of Ardbeg's revered scotches. Pour your way and sip by the fire with spiced holiday treats this season!

Tasting Notes: Family vintners for over 100 years, the Catenas are recognized for their pioneering role in high-altitude viticulture in Argentina. This blend of Semillon(60%) and Chenin Blanc (40%) is Argentina’s century-old traditional white wine. It's a riff on the traditional Bordeaux pairing of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is super expressive, with beautiful melon, pear, citrus, gala apple, and mineral on the nose. The palate is medium-light, but follows a good arc: textured and creamy, confirming the layered nose: melon, apple, with a great cauliflower floret back note. A white wine of excellent character! Pairs with pasta (cream sauces), risotto, grilled veggies (any veggies), fish, chicken, veal; would be at home with Christmas turkey! Drink now.

Tasting Notes: The idea for Two Hands was born in September 1999 when founders Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz sat at a friend’s engagement party. The 2022 Angel's Share Shiraz is saturated with black cherry, raspberry, licorice. In the mouth, it is all of this: silky and spicy and concentrated but not heavy. The rich and powerful fruits burst out of the gate, setting up the palate. This initial burst creates a wave of juice and long fruits which are slowly reined in by the broad tannins. This wine is a little bit too easy to drink, it announces itself and then gives you a whole hearted effort, the creaminess of the fruit holds the succulent mouthfeel and the tannins have a lovely brightness to the effortless finish. This is a wine that will offer loads of immediate pleasure and will also age for the moderate term under optimal cellaring conditions. Nicely done.
