El Enemigo has redefined Argentine fine wine with their Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary, and the 2020 vintage is the pinnacle of that achievement. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Gualtallary — one of the Uco Valley’s most extreme and celebrated terroirs — this Cabernet Franc-led blend is ethereal, powerful, and built for the long haul. Fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts and partial whole clusters, it is a wine of rare precision and inner energy.

Vinous 98 Points | Is it possible to create a wine with structure but without weight? The 2021 Cabernet Franc Gran Enemigo Gualtallary offers a remarkable answer to that apparent paradox, finding the solution in a balanced combination of terroir and careful cellar work. It's almost utopian—a mountain wine with the structure and character of high-altitude vineyards, yet with the agility and freshness of an oceanic red. Purple in hue, it opens with blackberry and plum, layered with mountain herbs, a hint of sour cherry, cassis and floral tones of violet and lavender. Dry and juicy, with a slightly compact feel, the wine glides across the palate with weightless grace, supported by fine, chalky tannins. This wine is a triumph.

Winemaker Description 

The treasures of El Maestro Sierra are many. From the back of their building they have a clear view of the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1832 the master carpenter José Antonio Sierra founded El Maestro Sierra. As one of the top coopers in the area, José Antonio was the person who made the barrels for all of the big Sherry houses. After years of making barrels for everyone else, he came to the conclusion that he could produce Sherries that were better than what the big Sherry houses were cranking out, so he went about opening up his own little winery.

This little up-start Sherry producer was not welcomed in the world of nobility-owned Sherry houses and so the local gentry did everything they could to stop him. Fortunately the quality of his sherry prevailed over their efforts and José Antonio Sierra became one of the top Almacenistas (stockholders) of high-quality Sherries. Poking fun at his struggle, the label depicts an allegorical fox hunt with the nobles hunting El Maestro Sierra’s fox.

This Amontillado is aged for a total of 12 years under flor and oxidatively in American oak casks. Very explosive aromas of salts and almonds. The palate offers similar flavors in a very elegant framework.

Producer Description 

The Maestro Sierra Oloroso, aged 15 years, is dark amber with flavors of walnuts, butterscotch and figs. Dry but with great intensity.

Producer Description

El Mero Mero Tobala has fruit on the nose with notes of grapefruit and buttermilk on the palate. They are cultivating Tobala to increase sustainability. El Mero Mero Tobala is made with maguey Tobala that is crushed by tahona, fermented in Encino Oak tubs, and distilled in copper.

The arid region of San Dionisio Ocotopec, where this mezcal is made, is known for producing agave with high sugar content, which can come through in the flavor and complexity of the mezcal.

The limestone-rich soil of this region can be harsh on the maguey Tobala, which take 12-15 years to reach maturity in this area. Due to the long maturation times, only small batches of 150-200 bottles of Tobala can be made at once.

El Mexicano Tequila Reposado — Jalisco, Mexico 750ml

Under the guidance of Master Tequilero Ing. León Bañuelos Ramírez, El Mexicano Reposado is a 100% Pure Blue Agave tequila of remarkable complexity and craftsmanship. What sets it apart is its dual-barrel aging program — a combination of American oak and French oak barrels — which layers the fruity richness of American wood with the robust depth and elegance of French oak. The result is a reposado of medium-high body, exceptional smoothness, and an aromatic depth that rivals expressions at far higher price points.

Brilliant straw yellow with golden hues, El Mexicano Reposado opens with a buttery malolactic character followed by maple, cranberry, and apricot from the American barrel, and robust wood, tobacco, and vanilla from the French oak. On the palate, it is smooth and elegant — cocoa, refined wood, and a creamy texture that lingers long on the finish with low alcoholic heat and an intense, satisfying aftertaste.

“The smoothness and elegance are present with a medium-high attack, an intense flavor of cocoa, elegant wood, and a creaminess that passes smoothly through the throat with a long aftertaste.” — Ing. León Bañuelos Ramírez, Master Tequilero

Winemaker Description

High Haven captures the essence of California's highest and coolest growing region, and the humble, nostalgic —slightly eccentric — charm of Anderson Valley. This rustic enclave, in the shadow of the giant redwoods, produces world-class Pinot that is deeply aromatic, balancing concentrated fruit with beautiful acidity.

Expert Reviews

91 Points Wine Enthusiast |Find bright aromas and flavors of cranberry, raspberry and strawberry along with earthy notes of river-rock minerality, roses, violets, hints of fennel and tarragon and just a touch of wood. Elevated fruit concentration yields pleasantly plush tannic texture along with an energetic acidity that points to a long, lingering finish.

91 Points Wine & Spirits | Clean, fresh, bright and tangy, this pinot is touched by notes of orange and vanilla, lasting on a cherry-leaf scent. It’s fruit-forward with tannins that melt into the background, leaving the cool feel of Anderson Valley pinot.

91 Wine Spectator | Alluring, with a nice swath of mulled raspberry and blood orange inlaid with pine forest and savory hints. Caressing finish.

Expert Review 

Wine Enthusiast 94 Points | This reposado is rested six years in American oak (more than required for reposado), yet because it was aged in a vessel larger than the 600-liter maximum, it still gets to bear the reposado label. The liquid offers distinctly sweet aromas of vanilla, maple and dried fig. The palate echoes those tones, layering on clove, allspice and cayenne. 

El Tequileño Blanco Tequila 100% de Agave

El Tequileño is a piece of living tequila history — a long-standing favorite born in the magical town of Tequila, Jalisco, where it has won the hearts of locals and connoisseurs alike for generations. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave in the lowlands of Jalisco, this is a traditional, uncompromising blanco that speaks directly of its origins: earthy, herbal, and deeply expressive of the agave plant itself.

El Tequileño holds a special place in cocktail history as the original spirit behind the Batanga — the legendary drink created by Don Javier Delgado Corona at La Capilla, the world-famous cantina in the town of Tequila. The Batanga is simple and iconic: tequila, Coca-Cola, lime, and salt, stirred with a knife. If you’re going to make one, this is the bottle to use.

The Blanco opens with aromas of cooked agave, fresh herbs, anise, and black pepper. The palate is clean and direct, with sweet cooked agave at the core and a dry, peppery finish. Authentic, affordable, and deeply rooted in Mexican tequila tradition.

El Tesoro Tequila Blanco — La Alteña Distillery, Jalisco, Mexico 750ml

El Tesoro is crafted at La Alteña Distillery, founded in 1937 by Don Felipe Camarena in the highlands of Jalisco. Three generations later, the Camarena family still makes tequila almost exactly as he did — to pay tribute to their fields of agave and to produce a spirit truly worth sipping. Agaves are still cooked in old-fashioned traditional ovens, crushed with a volcanic tahona wheel, and double-distilled to proof without any additives. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just pure agave, tradition, and craft.

El Tesoro Blanco is crystal clear with a lively, aromatic profile that captures the true essence of the agave plant. Agave hearts are carefully harvested at peak maturity, roasted to perfection, and expertly distilled to deliver a blanco of remarkable purity — vibrant, fresh, and unmistakably highland Jalisco.

“We make tequila here almost exactly as my grandfather did in 1937, and for the very same reasons: to pay tribute to our fields of agave, and to make a spirit worth sipping.” — The Camarena Family

Three generations of Camarena family tradition, a volcanic tahona wheel, and zero additives — El Tesoro Blanco is one of Mexico’s most authentic and storied tequilas.

El Tesoro Reposado is a benchmark Highlands tequila from one of Mexico's most storied distilling families — the Camarenas of La Alteña Distillery in the Jalisco Highlands. Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave, slowly crushed by a traditional volcanic stone tahona wheel, and aged 8 to 11 months in American oak barrels — well beyond the two-month legal minimum — this is a Reposado of uncommon depth, texture, and authenticity.

The nose is warm and inviting: cooked agave, vanilla, and toasted oak mingle with a gentle earthiness that speaks directly to the terroir of the Highlands. On the palate, the wine is round and richly layered, with caramel, dried fruit, and a whisper of baking spice, all carried by a long, smooth finish with lingering sweetness. Mellow and balanced, yet never soft — this is tequila with something to say.

The tahona process — labor-intensive and increasingly rare — extracts maximum flavor and complexity from the roasted piñas, yielding a spirit that is earthy, textured, and deeply expressive. A true sipping tequila, best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full character.

Exceptional in a premium Tommy's Margarita or Paloma. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, dark chocolate, and aged cheeses.

Elena Walch · Pinot Grigio · Alto Adige DOC · Trentino-Alto Adige · Italy · 2025

Elena Walch is one of Alto Adige’s most celebrated estates — and one of Italy’s most prominent woman winemakers and owners. Her Pinot Grigio is a benchmark for the Alto Adige style: not the flat, neutral Pinot Grigio of the Veneto plains, but a wine of genuine mineral tension, aromatic precision, and the kind of crisp, structured character that the Alpine climate of the Dolomites uniquely produces. Grown at altitude in the cool, sun-drenched vineyards of Alto Adige, the 2025 is a wine with real backbone — and exceptional value at this price.

The 2025 captivates with a light straw yellow color. The nose opens with ripe pear, white pepper, and a touch of sage, with an appealing creamy texture carrying notes of peach skin and blood orange peel. On the palate, mineral-salty richness and crisp acidity are the hallmarks — elegant, focused, and refreshing from first sip to finish.

“The creamy texture and tangy acidity harmoniously blended with the refreshing green apple and pear flavors. There was also a subtle hint of stony minerality that added an unexpected layer of complexity. The simplicity of the pairing beautifully complemented the well-structured aromas and flavors of the wine.”

Winemaker Description

The 2024 vintage in the Willamette Valley was a winemaker’s dream — cool, well-paced, and ideal for Elk Cove’s six estate vineyard sites: The Winery Estate, Mount Richmond, Five Mountain, Clay Court, Goodrich, and Windhill. A longer harvest window of 40 days allowed each block to receive optimal attention, yielding concentrated, fruit-forward wines with great complexity. The winery considers 2024 a potential classic Willamette Valley vintage.

Made from 100% estate-grown fruit spanning all three major Willamette Valley soil types, with both Pommard and Dijon clones represented. Each vineyard block is fermented separately in small, temperature-controlled steel tanks, hand punched down twice daily, then aged 10 months in French oak before careful blending. The result is Elk Cove’s most approachable, well-balanced Pinot Noir — fresh fruit, well-integrated alcohol, and great concentration of flavor.

Pairing Suggestions

• Poultry: Roasted duck with cherry sauce, herb-roasted chicken, or turkey with mushroom gravy.
• Meat: Lamb chops with rosemary, pork tenderloin with berry reduction, or salmon with pinot beurre blanc.
• Cheese: Aged Gruyère, Willamette Valley Brie, or a mild Oregon chevre.
