Taylor's Pick   (Islay, Scotland)

Ardbeg 10 Year Single Malt

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!

Price: $103.99

Ken's Pick   (Carneros, California)

Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut Non Vintage Methode Traditionelle 12.5% abv.

Tasting Notes: Spanning both Napa and Sonoma, Carneros is defined by maritime influences of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. It is an ideal location to grow grapes destined for sparkling wines. Color: 14K gold, golden apple juice. Aroma: baked apple, pear, quince, hint of ginger, toasted bread crust. Palate: full, with an expansive mousse, apple, toast, brown butter, roasted walnuts and pecans. Acidity holds it all beautifully. The bead is tight, vigorous and persistent: indicates the length of time the wine has aged on the lees (18 months according to the winemaker). Perlage is delicate and fine. A delicious, elegant addition to your Christmas and New Year festivities. Pair with about anything you can think of, but wow, it would completely elevate the Christmas breakfast table! Drink now.

Price: $34.99 750 ml

Harry's Pick   (Scotland )

Ardbeg Anthology 14 Years – The Unicorn’s Tale (46%, OB, 2024)

Tasting Notes: Nose: Very coastal and undeniably peaty (duh). A few drops of iodine, some fresh seaweed and some burnt rubber as well. Initially chargrilled lemon peel as well, as well as lemon balm, but then also some sweet tropical influences. Think guava, mango, and the like. The peat evolves into more elegant wood smoke, alongside tinges of sandalwood. Taste: Slightly thinner than I’d like. Some medicinal peat, as well as grilled fennel. There’s a touch of smoked kiwi, tinned peaches and more of those lemons as well. Also a nice salinity, some aniseed and soot, accompanied by roasted malts. Finish: Medium length. A good amount of lingering wood smoke. Slightly dry. Cloves. Somewhat medicinal.

Price: $284.99

DeWayne's Pick   (Italy)

2021 CASA CATELLI PINOT GRIGIO

Tasting Notes: Organic Wine: It has a straw yellow color. On the nose it has floral notes with hint of dry hay and fresh lemon. On the palate it has a soft citrus flavor with hints of crusty bread and acacia honey. Indeed, well balanced and pleasant to drink with and without food. Varietal: Pinot Grigio 100%. Wine-making: The grapes are carefully selected and immediately go through a soft pressing. The must is left to rest for about 2 days then the alcoholic fermentation will start in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16-18° C ( 61-64°F). The wine is micro filtered and left for one month in the tanks, then bottled. Aging: One month in the tanks, two months in the bottle. Food Pairing: It pairs well with any type of fish, including sushi, light cheese like mozzarella or parmigiano reggiano and marinated chicken. Serving temperature: 10°- 12°C (50-54°F) This is the perfect Christmas party white wine to enjoy all evening. ABV: 12%

Price: $15.99

Taylor's Pick   (Chile)

Carmen Gran Reserva Carmenere

Tasting Notes: Known for their wines and history, Carmen was the first Chilean winery established in 1850! Carmen's carmenere has always been a go-to red wine for its rich notes of blueberries, spices, and tobacco. Soft touches of pepper and paprika create complexity. Fermented in steel tanks then matured in French oak for 14 months finishes this wine at 14.0% The wine has persistency and great length! Big and bold wine perfect for the bold, hearty meals this chilly season! Enjoy now or age to 2028-2030.

Price: $19.99

Harry's Pick   (United States)

Bib & Tucker Bourbon (Small Batch) 46% Abv

Tasting Notes: Medium amber color, with copper highlights; fragrant, with notes of sweet corn, dried fruit, and spice; burly on the palate, with an initial sweetness that evolves to savory, nutty notes. Oak balances the up-front sweetness, while flavors of sweet corn, salted caramel, and toasted nuts carry through to a long finish.

Price: $101.99

Ken's Pick   (Lujan De Coyo, Mendoza, Argentina)

Catena White Clay High Mountain Vines Semillon-Chenin 2022 13% abv.

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.

Price: $24.99 750 ml
