"This wine represents one of the best values in Italian wine, and I really can't imagine how the Cotarella family manages to get so much quality at this super competitive price" - The Wine Advocate



2018 Falesco Vitiano Rosso...$9.99
This blend of 34% Sangiovese, 33% Merlot, and 33% Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a stark, earthy profile. Tobacco, espresso, and balsamic lead the way to sinewy black cherry that threads its way through the wine's dark passages
Rated 90/100 Somm Journal
This wine represents one of the best values in Italian wine, and I really can't imagine how the Cotarella family manages to get so much quality at this super competitive price. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, the Falesco Famiglia Cotarella 2018 Vitiano Rosso represents an ample production of 800,000 bottles. Indeed, most of the fruit from the family's Umbrian vineyard holdings end up in this production. This informal but elegant mid-weight red offers plenty of cherry fruit, spice and balanced touches of tobacco and spice.
Rated 89/100 The Wine Advocate 


 



2021 Pahlmeyer Jayson Sauvignon Blanc....$31.99
Compare to $35.99 at Wine.com

Shows mouthwatering Honeycrisp apple flavors at the core, with lemon zest, tangerine and Meyer lemon flavors, a hint of orange blossom and lemongrass on the finish. Shows wonderful harmony and persistence. Drink now. 1,938 cases made.
Rated 91/100 The Wine Spectator
Nicely balanced and refreshing, the 2021 Jayson Sauvignon Blanc marries notes of fig and melon with a hint of stone fruit, capping all that off with some grapefruit on the finish. Medium-bodied, with a silky feel, this is a charming, easy-drinking white to enjoy over the next couple of years.
Rated 91/100 The Wine Advocate

We found an amazing new Chablis producer, we loved them so much we bought all that came into St. Louis!
2020 Dominique & Romain Collet Chablis Cuvee Paul....$34.99
Having had the privilege and honor to work with and champion the Famille Collet since 1995, we are pleased to debut the old vine Chablis "Cuvée Paul" 2020 to the U.S. Paul is Romain's son, so yes, at some point Paul Collet will be on a label, but for now this very special assemblage is from vines owned by Dominique Collet, Romain's mother. Dominique's family has tended these vines since their planting in 1932...that is no typo, 1932. Ninety years of history, magnificient exposure, massal selection, complete hand harvest, 100% native yeast and raised in INOX tanks. The 2020 was bottled for the U.S. in January of 2022...again no typo, 2022. This is classic, old-school Chablis, full of fresh fruit and completely free of the influence of wood barrel. Look for citrus notes in the nose along with oysters shells and ocean spray. The palate is long, stony and dry, with chiseled minerality and backbone à la chablisienne. Bravo Dominique, Romain and Paul!


Premier and Grand Cru Chablis at stunning prices!
2020 Dominique & Romain Collet Chablis Montmains 1er Cru....$42.99
2020 Dominique & Romain Collet Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru....$42.99
2020 Dominique & Romain Collet Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru....$89.99

Romain has grown up with these vineyards; he is like a human compass for these vines. In 2008 Romain took over winemaking for Domaine Collet after his father suffered a stroke; one year later he started his own Domaine, Romain Collet. His inaugural vintage was 2009, and he was only 23.  With his own wines, he could experiment with natural yeasts in the cellar, and was immediately taken with the results, wines of complexity, of nuance and a seamless pop of tension. He is, he'd tell you, an adherent of harmony: If there's one thing he hates, it is wines that feel disjointed, jumbled, broken.  Today, most of Romain's parcels are certified organic by France's Bureau Veritas; by the end of 2020 that figure will be 100%.
 Are these "natural" wines? Collet applies is a small addition of sulfur during fermentation and at the bottling stage, so no, not completely. Are these some of the most delicious wines? Hell Yeah!

Bourbon is by definition American-made. The spirit can only be made in the United States and it can be made in any state, but the finest bourbon results from an ideal combination of climate and geology that is rare outside of Kentucky but is found in the rolling hills of Weston, Missouri.  This six-year-old, Bottled-in-Bond, Real Missouri Bourbon is crafted with the same mash bill that was developed by Ben Holladay in 1856. This whiskey represents the perfect union of distilling tradition and modern-day production.

Rieger Monogram Bourbon Whiskey 2022 Edition...$129.99
Rieger's 2022 MONOGRAM WHISKEY once again showcases the rare and unique flavors from the gorgeous Oloroso Sherry Botas of our Whiskey Solera. Since 2017, Rieger's Monogram Whiskey has been created using four nearly century-old 500-liter barrels (referred to in Spain as "botas") that were removed from the actual solera of the Williams & Humbert Drysack 15-year Oloroso Especial and shipped to our distillery in Kansas City. For this year's release, we chose to utilize just 5 of these 10 casks, all filled with Bourbon, marking the first time that our Monogram bottling will be a Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Two very limited releases from Old Elk, usually in the raffle, but we got extra 
Old Elk Bourbon Four Grain...$99.99
105.9 proof

QUADRUPLE THREAT | Breaking the mold by blending the goldThere are two ways to make a four-grain bourbon. The first is simply adding an extra grain to the standard mashbill, distilling and aging it as usual. Old Elk has chosen the more difficult path, making two bourbons—one with rye, one with wheat—and maturing them separately until each is at its individual peak. Married together in perfect proportions, they become what every blend aspires to be: greater than the sum of its parts, each component supporting the other to create a sophisticated four-grain bourbon whose elevated mix of flavors would otherwise be impossible.
In Old Elk Four Grain, our signature high-malt bourbon shares equal billing with our high-wheat bourbon. The fifty-fifty blend gives whiskey lovers a taste of all four grains, a rarity in the world of bourbon. Old Elk Four Grain takes your palate on a journey: from the oily richness of corn to the creamy sweetness of wheat and nutty chew of malt, generously dashed throughout with pops of rye spice, bright fruit, and plenty of rich, lush oak.
Bottling at 105.9 proof ensures that every sip of Old Elk Four Grain tastes as complex and rewarding as the first. Your palate will never get tired of exploring the interwoven flavors and nuanced character—there's something new to discover each time you try it.


 
Old Elk Double Wheat Whiskey....$99.99
107.1 proof

TWO-FOLD THE TASTE | One for the wheat-freaks
A grain most whiskeys overlook, wheat imparts some of the finest flavors you can find in a glass—if it's treated right. Old Elk has mastered the way of wheat already, celebrating its sweet softness and nutty round notes in our Wheated Bourbon Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Straight Wheat Whiskey. Now we're building on those triumphs with a new wheat-forward whiskey: Old Elk Double Wheat.
Part of our Master's Blend series, Old Elk Double Wheat takes whiskey where it's never gone before. Master distiller Greg Metze has created a "mashbill within a mashbill," seamlessly layering Old Elk's 95% wheat whiskey with our wheated bourbon, for a final ratio of 71.5% wheat, 25% corn, and 3.5% malted barley. We can guarantee you've never tasted whiskey like this.
Despite the smooth texture and soft flavors that wheat imparts, this whiskey is no pushover. At a precise 107.1 proof, Old Elk Double Wheat shows its strength without overwhelming your palate. Multi-dimensional and more complex than the typical wheater, this whiskey will impress the most demanding drinkers while welcoming all curious newcomers.
