For Bartholomew, wine is more than a beverage — it’s a celebration of family, friendships, and adventure. His love for California’s North Coast wines began with a Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from vineyards owned by a family he has been friends with for over 35 years. Building on the success of the Broadbent Cabernet Sauvignon, Bartholomew introduced a North Coast Chardonnay that continues his tradition of offering affordable wines with exceptional quality.

Winemaker Description 

THE STORY:  We’re thrilled to share the latest release of Boutanche! This release is a new, fresh and lively blend. After several years of farming and making wine from our Fox Hill Vineyard, we've gained a deeper understanding of the site and its fruit, especially Sangiovese, which truly shines here. This new bottling is built around that very Sangiovese, which makes up 50% of the blend. All grapes were naturally fermented using whole clusters, with a portion undergoing carbonic maceration, then gently pressed and aged for 9 months in a mix of concrete and neutral barrique.

The result? A wine that’s fresh, vibrant, juicy, and surprisingly refined - perfect for any gathering. Like all wines under the Boutanche label, it's all about enjoyment, and you'll be glad it comes in a liter because it disappears quickly. Whether you chill it down or enjoy it at cellar temperature, this is a bright, delicious expression of California that’s made to be shared, any time of day.

FUN FACT: Badger means Broc in Scottish Gaelic. The badger is our winery mascot. 

VARIETIES: 50% Sangiovese, 23% Carignan, 20% Valdiguie, 4% Trousseau, 3% Grenache Noir

Brooklyn Cured Finocchiona — Brooklyn, New York

Finocchiona has its roots in Renaissance Tuscany, where fennel was used to season pork salami in a tradition that has endured for centuries. Brooklyn Cured's version is a love letter to that heritage — made in Brooklyn with the same artisan integrity that defines everything they produce. Seasoned with fennel pollen rather than fennel seed, this salami is brighter, more aromatic, and more refined than most. At 3oz pre-sliced, it is ready for the board, the sandwich, or the moment.

The slices are deeply savory with a gentle sweetness from the fennel pollen that lifts the richness of the pork. The texture is tender and supple, with a clean, lingering finish that is herbaceous and satisfying without being heavy. It is the kind of salami that disappears from the board first.

• Producer: Brooklyn Cured, Brooklyn, New York, USA
• Style: Finocchiona — Tuscan-style fennel pollen pork salami
• Key Ingredient: Fennel pollen (not fennel seed)
• Size: 3oz, pre-sliced
• Tasting Notes: Savory pork, aromatic fennel pollen, gentle sweetness, tender texture, herbaceous finish
• Best Paired With: Aged pecorino or Parmigiano, crusty bread, Castelvetrano olives, a glass of Chianti or light-bodied red

Artisan salami made with craft and intention — Brooklyn Cured's Finocchiona is the benchmark for what American-made Tuscan-style charcuterie can be.

Brooklyn Cured Bresaola — Brooklyn, New York

Brooklyn Cured's Bresaola is a love letter to the Italian tradition of cured, air-dried beef — made right in Brooklyn with pasture-raised beef sourced from family farms. No antibiotics, no nitrates, no shortcuts. Seasoned with herbs and spices in the classic style, this bresaola delivers the lean, silky texture and deep, savory character that makes it one of Italy's most beloved charcuterie staples. At 2oz, it's perfectly portioned for a cheese board, a quick salad, or a simple drizzle of olive oil and lemon.

The slices are tender and deeply ruby-red, with a clean, mineral-forward aroma and a flavor that is gently herbaceous, lightly sweet, and satisfyingly savory without any heaviness. It finishes long and clean — the hallmark of quality curing and exceptional source beef.

• Producer: Brooklyn Cured, Brooklyn, New York, USA
• Origin: Pasture-raised beef from family farms
• Style: Air-dried, cured beef — Italian Bresaola tradition

Producer Description

Port Charlotte 10 year old is conceived, distilled, matured and bottled only on Islay. Made from 100% Scottish barley, it is trickle distilled through tall, narrow-necked stills for a balanced, heathery style of barbeque smoke. 

Our Port Charlotte 10 year old expression is everything an Islay whisky can and should be.

With an ambition to make the ultimate “Islay” whisky, this is a single malt made by people not software; a whisky watched over every day of its maturing life by those who made it; a whisky born of a community with a vision and a mission to kick start a single malt whisky revolution. This Port Charlotte 10 year old is who we are. This is where we’re from.

We believe an “Islay” whisky should live and breathe the fresh salt tang of Islay air, all its life. This is not a spirit distilled on the island and immediately shipped off to the mainland to mature in an undisclosed warehouse.

This is a spirit born from the island and the community, a true expression of the land, the culture, the people.

Memo Summary Notes

Bruichladdich is known for transparency; this expression is non-chill filtered and coloring-free, distilled, matured, and bottled exclusively on Islay.

Black Art 11 has been created using pre-renaissance casks from Bruichladdich Distillery (pre-2001) which have been safeguarded and maturing on Islay for 24 years. Producer Description. 

Producer Description 

An elegant, composed and stylishly vibrant spirit that showcases the absolute finesse, purity, definition and elegance of organically grown barley. Late summer barley. Opens on a light almond note with a twist of candied lemon. Followed by the magical aromatics of toasted barley, floral and fruit notes with a hint of lemon honey intermingling beautifully. Toffee sweetness comes from American oak cask and as the spirit opens little drifts of succulent papaya, melon and kiwi can be found. 

The texture is sensational, the spirit gliding over the palate like warm syrup. The taste buds love the purity and the sensational clarity of flavours being presented. A real sweetness on the front palate, barley sugar, honey almonds, green jelly beans, pear drops all splashed with fresh lemons and balanced by the crispness of malted barley. 

An intensity and definition of flavour that is unparalleled. Incredibly fresh giving an unforgettable palate experience that leaves the taste buds tingling and overwhelmed.

Buena Vista Chateau Cabernet Sauvignon — Napa Valley, California 2022

Buena Vista is California’s oldest premium winery — and one of its most colorful. Founded in 1857 in Sonoma by Agoston Haraszthy, the self-proclaimed “Count of Buena Vista,” a Hungarian immigrant who pursued “purple gold” in the hills of Northern California after following the forty-niners, Buena Vista established the template for California fine wine.

The Chateau Cabernet Sauvignon honors the estate’s Napa Valley roots: a full-bodied, plush, and expressive Cabernet that delivers the richness and concentration the valley is famous for.

Dr. Bürklin-Wolf | Ruppertsberg Riesling Trocken 2023 | Pfalz, Germany

Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is one of Germany's most storied biodynamic estates, farming the Pfalz with meticulous precision. Their Ruppertsberg Ortswein (village-level wine) is an open secret among Riesling lovers: sourced primarily from the estate's exclusively owned Gaisböhl Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) vineyard, it delivers Grand Cru-quality fruit at a village-level price. Certified biodynamic, vegan, and sealed with a screwcap for pristine freshness.

The 2023 vintage in the Pfalz produced wines of remarkable juiciness and precision. This bottling opens with a coolish, pure bouquet of star fruit, ripe citrus, and smoky mineral notes. The palate is mouth-filling yet elegant — creamy on entry, then salty minerality and electric acidity drive the finish long. Bone-dry, clean, and built to reward a few years of cellaring.

Tasting Notes - Vintage 2023 

James Suckling — 94 Points: What a stunning village wine. The mouth-filling juiciness (think star fruit and the ripest citrus) is backed up with ample power. Creamy front palate, then the salty minerality and animating acidity kick in and push the finish way out there. A cuvée based on the Gaisböhl GG site of Ruppertsberg. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate — 92 Points: Opens with a remarkably coolish, pure and refined bouquet with bright, elegant fruit and smoky aromas. Lean and elegant on the palate yet with ripe and juicy fruit — a very fine, elegant-finishing Riesling whose savory grip and tension will be better integrated after a few years of bottle age.

Vinous — 90 Points: A lovely flicker of reduction on the nose leads to an immensely juicy, rounded palate. Lemon-fresh Reine Claude plums with a lovely undertow of yeast. Absolutely bone-dry and clean on the bright finish.

WE'VE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, TIME AND TIME AGAIN Along the north coast of Ireland, where arctic storms rage against the jagged cliffs and where the crisp waters of the River Bush cut through volcanic rock, generations have passed down an ancient distilling tradition. 

Light and fruity with spicy aroma. Vanilla note, developing into vanilla ice cream and creme brulee. Gently warming, mouth-coating texture. A touch of honey sweetness. Crisp, fresh finish, with a touch of spice.

Bushmills is named for the mills that made the barley and the River Bush, which remains the water source to cut our whiskey to proof today. First to do it. Second to none. Triple distilled.
