Tasting Notes: Crown Royal Peach is a perfectly balanced blend of Canadian whiskies infused with the juicy flavor of fresh peaches. It is a vibrantly delicious whisky, bursting with the luscious flavor of peach and a smooth finish. Can be drank on the rocks or mixed. My favorite summer time drink is Crown Royal Peach mixed with Cool Nestea and a hint of lemon on ice. Absolutely delicious. :)

Tasting Notes: Domaine de Courteillac is a fairly young estate. The estate was originally founded by Henri de Foussat de Bogeron. Domaine de Courteillac was purchased in 1998 by the well-known Bordeaux wine merchant, Dominique Meneret who is a partner in the negociant company, Bernard and Meneret. In late, 2016, it was announced that the large, Chinese wine and spirits retailer, Daohe Wine and Spirits, purchased Domaine de Courteillac from Dominique Menert for an undisclosed sum of money. The entire technical team will remain in place with the property. Domaine de Courteillac owns 27 hectares of vineyard planted to 63% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc. Over the past few years, the amount of Cabernet Franc in the vines has slowly been increasing. 2 hectares of vines are reserved for the cultivation of white Bordeaux wine grapes. On average, the vines are maintained at about 15 years of age. The terroir of Domaine de Courteillac is clay and limestone soils. Domaine de Courteillac is situated southeast of St. Emilion, close to the Dordogne river. The vineyard enjoys one of the highest elevations in the Entre Deux Mers appellation. The wines are aged in 33% new, French oak barrels for between 14 and 16 months. Close to 12,000 cases per year are produced of Domaine de Courteillac. Domaine de Courteillac is better with at least 1-2 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for up to 1 hour, helping the wine soften to help develop the aromatic character. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Domaine de Courteillac offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 2-6 years of age after the vintage. Domaine de Courteillac is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Domaine de Courteillac is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Domaine de Courteillac is also good when matched with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and pasta.

Tasting Notes: Sangiovese (blood of Jupiter) is the staple of Tuscany, underpinning well known Chianti and Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano. Here, in Romagna, north and east of Tuscany, this wine is made 'appassimento' meaning the harvested grapes are dried indoors in lofts with open windows for ventilation (some winemakers, though, still sun-dry their grapes). The grapes dry for three weeks to six months, losing 10 to 60 percent of their moisture content, depending on the grape variety and desired style of wine. The desired style for this wine is, well, desirable! Medium deep scarlet, almost impenetrable, the wine exudes aromas of sage, fennel, plum skin, black cherry, vanilla, red licorice, loam, and a touch of toasty oak. The smooth, full palate brims with good, ripe fruit: black currants, plums, dark cherries. Tannins are soft, finish is medium long. Very nicely done!! Pair with rich pastas, grilled meats, savory risottos, hard cheeses, and good friends! I paired it with grilled franks, excellent! Drink now - 2028.

Tasting Notes: Whiskey with Canadian history behind it! Canadian grains, Newfoundland water and a three-barrel aging approach deliver a complex and smooth flavor profile with honey, vanilla, dried fruit and a hint of spice. Two grain whiskey made from corn and barely gives the whiskey a subtle sweetness similar to a bourbon profile. Aged first in new white oak, then to first-run bourbon barrels, and finally Canadian whiskey barrels. Finally the whiskey is bottled within sight of Signal Hill in St. John's where the final battle of the Seven Year War happened in 1762. Signal Hill is also named after the first transatlantic wireless transmission was received there in 1901. A wonderfully unique whiskey tied to a beautiful Canadian landmark! Drink your way and enjoy.

Tasting Notes: This deeply dark and enticing IPA from Blindman Brewing in Lacombe, AB provides an elegant balance of malty gravity and hoppy effervescence. At 6.6% alcohol, this IPA evokes shady and smooth foliage accompanied by a retreating bitter brightness. It's introduced as slightly-sweet, and gracefully arrives at a woodsy pine finish. The hops are floral, pronounced and carefully mixed into the whole. Dark IPAs can draw newcomers to the hoppier styles with such a grounded malt base to back up the bitterness. I highly recommend this Alberta brew - try it out!

Tasting Notes: Matthew McConaughey and Master Distiller Eddie Russell are proud to present this rare, small-batch bourbon. Eight Year-Old Wild Turkey Bourbon is refined with Texas mesquite and oak charcoals for deeper flavor and complexity. The aroma is a balanced blend of vanilla and spices. Flavors of caramel, pear, and hints of citrus round out the palate, while the subtle, smoky finish is buttery smooth-with notes of gentle pepper and toasted oak.

Tasting Notes: A creamy, green liqueur, pleasantly sweet and with a moderate alcohol content, characterized by an intense aroma of pistachio. Pistachios are now being grown on the Sicilian volcanic soils of Mount Etna. These nuts have always been renowned for their nutritional properties. Pistachios, exclusively harvested in Sicily, are processed according to a traditional method and turned into a paste which preserves all their precious organoleptic characteristics. The paste is then expertly mixed with alcohol, water and sugar, creating a creamy, round, velvety liqueur with an intense and inebriating aroma of Sicilian pistachios. With a final touch of grappa, Pistacchio Bottega gains a particular aromaticity, making it unique and unmistakable. Serve cold, neat or over ice cubes or for real decadence, over vanilla ice cream! Perfect any time of the day!
