Kalembu Mamajuana Crazy Design Edition — Dominican Republic

Mamajuana is the national spirit of the Dominican Republic — a centuries-old elixir rooted in the traditions of the indigenous Taíno people, who blended native herbs, bark, and spices as a health tonic and shamanic remedy. In 2005, J&J Spirits transformed this hand-mixed tradition into a perfectly balanced ready-to-drink spirit: Kalembu Mamajuana. This Crazy Design Edition is a special artistic release featuring vibrant bottle art by Dominican urban artist Crazy Design — a celebration of the island’s cultural energy in every sense.

Kalembu fuses red wine, honey, and a proprietary blend of traditional herbs and woody botanicals into a smooth, semi-sweet liqueur with a delicate spice finish. At 30 proof, it is approachable and endlessly versatile — equally at home as a digestif, on the rocks, or in cocktails.

Serve neat as “the Dominican Shot,” over ice to highlight herbal complexity, or as a Mama-Jito — a Caribbean twist on the Mojito.

• Edition: Crazy Design — limited artistic release

Kamoizumi Red Maple — Junmai Ginjo Namazume — Hiroshima, Japan — 720ml

The Maegaki family began as rice farmers in Hiroshima, became landlords, and entered sake brewing at the onset of Japan's modern era in 1910. In 1965, Kamoizumi became one of a pioneering group of ten breweries who committed entirely to junmai sake production — at a time when adding brewers’ alcohol to maximize profits was standard practice. Their first Junmai was released in 1971, and few breweries have taken a bolder stance on developing a true house style. Red Maple is their most celebrated expression: a Junmai Ginjo Namazume aged for two years at 5°C, unpasteurized and undiluted, developing rich, layered savory character without losing a sense of freshness. This is sake at a new level of complexity.

The sake balances sweetness, acidity, astringency, and savory depth like no other — a textbook expression of the elusive flavor of umami. Rich and full-flavored on the palate, with bold character and the drinkability that marks true technical mastery. The two-year cold aging builds layers of complexity — earthy, savory, and deeply satisfying — while the namazume (once-pasteurized) process preserves a vibrant freshness that keeps every sip alive. Designed to be enjoyed now or aged further in a cold cellar or wine fridge.

Unpasteurized, undiluted, aged 2 years at 5°C — Junmai Ginjo Namazume from one of Hiroshima's most pioneering sake breweries. Bold, umami-driven, and built for the table.

• Producer: Kamoizumi Brewery, Hiroshima, Japan
• Style: Junmai Ginjo Namazume (Once-Pasteurized)
• Aging: 2 years at 5°C — unpasteurized, undiluted
• Character: Bold, full-flavored, umami-driven, layered savory complexity
• Size: 720ml
• Tasting Notes: Sweetness, bright acidity, astringency, rich umami, earthy savory depth, vibrant freshness
• Serve: Cold, at room temperature, or over a single ice cube
• Cellar Potential: Drink now or age further in a cold cellar or wine fridge
• Best Paired With: Grilled meats, yakitori, aged cheeses, miso-glazed fish, mushroom dishes, full-flavored cuisine

One of Hiroshima's most pioneering breweries, one of Japan's most complex sake expressions — Kamoizumi Red Maple is the benchmark for what bold, umami-driven Junmai Ginjo can be.

Winemaker Description

The blend is dominated by the Estate Vineyard, yet the significant percentage of Walker—Kanzler's Green Valley vineyard—bends the wine in an exciting red-note direction: hibiscus, rhubarb and red licorice. The aromatics deliver fresh berries, cola, white pepper and pine sap. Fig notes emerge on the palate with a spicy, black tea finish. Modest whole cluster and slightly more new oak make the wine soft and approachable, while bright acid keeps it fresh, juicy, and well-knit.

Producer Description 

Kawatsuru translates to “river crane” and comes from the sighting of a crane in the river behind the brewery. Crane of Paradise is described as “umakuchi,” a combination between sweet, dry and umami flavors. The perfect summertime sip!

Juicy notes of grapefruit and freshly cut grass, with a hint of salted pineapple. Crisp, dry finish with an almost effervescent energy behind it.

Try with Pizza with prosciutto/speck or smoked salmon with cream cheese. 

Winemaker Description 

Made with yeast extracted from the Sanuki olive native to the region, this hyperlocal sake showcases the best of Kagawa in a one-of-a-kind bottling.

Juicy notes of musk melon, white flowers and green pear with hints of starfruit, grass and salinity.

Try with salad with carrot ginger dressing, coconut crab curry or spring pea & mint gazpacho. 

Our Professional Review

A unique expression of sake made with olive yeast.  Beautiful white fruits and floral notes backed by lovely herbal and savory notes.

There is only a limited quantity of this gorgeous and most sensuous white wine. The older large barrels have added richness and
texture without any hint of flab.

Elegant, rich restrained, hints of lime blossom, soft on the palate with a gentle structure,
this classic Rhone grape thrives in the Mediterranean climate here at The Cape of Good Hope.

This wine whilst perfectly accessible in youth will reward good cellaring and keeping for up to 10 years.

FOOD SUGGESTIONS
A classic wine; perfect with smoked fish or chicken, anchovies on the grill or even a tangy Caesar salad.

Ken Forrester Reserve Sauvignon Blanc — Stellenbosch, South Africa 2022

Ken Forrester is one of South Africa's most celebrated winemakers — a passionate advocate for Chenin Blanc and the broader potential of Stellenbosch as a world-class wine region. His Stellenbosch farm, situated on the cool slopes of the Helderberg, benefits from the maritime influence of False Bay and long, slow ripening conditions that produce wines of genuine complexity and freshness. The Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from grapes grown in this cool-climate environment, where extended hang time allows the fruit to develop layered aromatic character while retaining the brisk, mineral-driven acidity that defines the style.

The nose shows lovely complexity: a mix of tangy grassy notes and fig leaf intertwined with peach and nectarine nuances — aromatic, fresh, and inviting. On the palate, brisk acidity and minerality take center stage, a direct reflection of the long hang time in this cool coastal region. Clean, focused, and refreshing — a Sauvignon Blanc that is equally at home at the aperitivo hour or at the table.

"Lovely complexity with a mix of tangy grassy notes, fig leaf, peach and nectarine nuances. Brisk acidity with minerality on the palate — typical of the long hang time in our cool region." — Ken Forrester, Winemaker

Winemaker Description 

If you've ever encountered a "warm sake" skeptic, heat up a bottle of this Kenbishi "Kuromatsu" and prove to them that warm sake can be one of life's greatest pleasures. With the right amount of heat (around 104°F), hints of cashews, rice, caramel emerge. This 180ml bottle is designed especially for the microwave – remove the cap and heat for 20 seconds.

One cup sakes were first introduced during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and are perfect for taking on a picnic, a game, or alongside takeout.

Rand Sieger, 67Wine: This is a heady sake with deep, rich umami flavors and bright acidity, perfect for matching the richness of fatty fish like otoro, salmon, or mackerel.  The honjozo style relies on the addition of a small amount of brewer's alcohol to create a smoother, lighter sake with heightened aromatic complexity.

Kilchoman was founded in 2005 on the remote western shore of Islay — the first farm distillery built on the island in over 124 years. Anthony Wills set out to make whisky the old-fashioned way: growing barley on site, floor malting a portion of the production, and distilling in small batches with an obsessive focus on quality over volume. In just two decades, Kilchoman has become one of the most exciting names in Scotch, earning a devoted following among those who believe Islay deserves more than one or two great distilleries.

Machir Bay is their flagship — named after the two kilometres of wild, wind-swept beach on Islay’s west coast where turbulent Atlantic seas meet stunningly beautiful sunsets. A vatting of bourbon and sherry cask maturations, it is designed to showcase the full Kilchoman character: peated, coastal, and layered. The nose opens with lemon zest, vanilla, and a distinct maritime influence, giving way to floral intensity, juicy peach, and pear. The palate is generous — tropical fruit, dried sultanas, warming smoke, honey, malt, and butterscotch. The finish is long and complex, with sherry-soaked fruit, cracked black pepper, sea salt, and waves of citrus sweetness underpinned by maritime peat smoke.

“The dramatic coastal landscape of Machir Bay is reflected in the rugged complexity of this award-winning single malt, the flagship of the Kilchoman range.” — Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder

• Producer: Kilchoman Distillery, Islay, Scotland
• Style: Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Peated, NV
• Casks: Bourbon barrels & sherry casks (vatted)
• Character: Heavily peated, coastal, maritime
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Lemon zest, vanilla, white peach, pear, tropical fruit, honey, butterscotch, warming smoke, sea salt, cracked black pepper
• Finish: Long, coastal peat smoke with citrus sweetness and sherry fruit
• Serve: Neat or with a few drops of water to open the smoke

Farm distillery, wild coastline, award-winning peat — Machir Bay is Islay whisky with something to say.

Kinishihai Yukikage ‘Snow Shadow’ Tokubetsu Junmai — Niigata, Japan (300ml)

Kinishihai is brewed in Niigata Prefecture — one of Japan's most revered sake-producing regions, celebrated for its cold winters, pristine snowmelt water, and the distinctive ‘tanrei karakuchi’ style: clean, dry, and refined sake of exceptional elegance and food-friendliness. Yukikage — meaning ‘Snow Shadow’ — is a Tokubetsu Junmai, a special designation within the Junmai category indicating a higher level of rice polishing or a distinctive brewing technique that elevates the sake above the standard. It is crafted from a blend of two local Niigata rice varietals — Gohyaku Mangoku and Koshi Ibuki — both milled to 58% of their original size, removing the outer layers to reveal a cleaner, more refined grain. Fermented with S-3 yeast, which produces a mildly fragrant and clean profile with light earthy qualities, Yukikage is a true expression of the gutsy, grounded Niigata style: smooth, earthy, and built for the table. Uniquely versatile — it is equally compelling served chilled or gently warmed, making it one of the most food-friendly sakes in the glass.

The nose is mildly fragrant and inviting: toasted brown rice, light earthiness, and a clean, grounded character. On the palate, it is smooth and earthy with notes of toasty brown rice and a gentle nuttiness. Chilled, it is a natural companion for sushi, gyoza, and delicate seafood. Gently warmed, it blossoms — the perfect accompaniment for yakitori, grilled salmon, or roasted yellowtail. A sake of genuine versatility and quiet depth.

Kir Yianni · Ramnista Xinomavro · Naoussa · 2021

Kir Yianni Ramnista 2021 expresses the aromatic complexity and structure of Xinomavro from Naoussa in northern Greece. Dark fruit and characteristic dried tomato nuances meet firm tannins and robust acidity, giving this red a distinctive savory character.

Producer & Terroir

Kir-Yianni was founded in 1997 by Yiannis Boutaris, a leading figure in Greek wine, after he left the Boutari Wine Group, the family company his grandfather established in 1879. Today, Stellios Boutaris, a fifth-generation winemaker, leads the estate with a philosophy that combines innovation, respect for tradition and knowledge of wine from grape to glass.

The estate’s roots reach back to 1970, when Yiannis planted 40 hectares of Xinomavro on the eastern foothills of Mount Vermion in Yianakohori, near Naoussa. This vineyard would become Ktima Kir-Yianni. In 1985, he planted 20 hectares of white varieties in the Amyndeon highlands west of Mount Vermion. Between 1985 and 1990, Merlot and Syrah were planted in selected estate parcels, where they adapted successfully to the local mesoclimate.

In 1996, an old winery in Agios Panteleimon, nicknamed “Paranga,” or “the Shack,” was purchased to become the Kir-Yianni winery in Amyndeon. The following year marked the founding of Kir-Yianni and the first vintage entirely vinified in the newly built winery at Ktima Kir-Yianni.

Tasting Notes

Aromatically precise dark fruit is accented by the dried tomato character associated with Xinomavro. The palate balances expressive fruit with polished, structured tannins and refreshing acidity. Ramnista offers both savory depth and finesse.

Expert Review

Wine Spectator, 93 Points · 2021
The Kir-Yianni 2021 Naoussa Xinomavro Ramnista Single Vineyard captures the elegance and refinement of this flagship northern Greek variety. Compared to the warmer 2022 vintage, it shows greater aromatic precision with notes of dark fruit and the subtle dried tomato nuance that is characteristic of Xinomavro. The palate is expressive and finely balanced, with polished tannins that provide structure without sacrificing finesse. Sourced from nine vineyard blocks and aged for 14 months in French oak, Ramnista remains one of the benchmark expressions of Naoussa Xinomavro.

About the Sake

Don’t let the Futsushu (everyday sake) classification fool you — Kirinzan Classic takes the concept of daily sake to new heights. While most breweries focus on showcasing premium ginjo styles, Kirinzan takes immense pride in this entry-level expression, crafting it with the same care and precision as their finest bottles.

Made from Gohyaku Mangoku and Koshi Ibuki sake rice polished to 65% — beyond the requirements for even the premium Honjozo grade — all rice is sourced directly from small farmers in the local agricultural cooperative, none farther than five miles from the brewery. Brewed with soft Niigata mountain water in the house style: dry, clean, light-bodied, and beautifully balanced.

Tasting Notes

Dry and clean with notes of hazelnut and toasted rice, a gentle minerality, and a crisp, refreshing finish. Light-bodied and food-friendly — never competing with a dish, only enhancing it.

Serving

Versatile and approachable — excellent served chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed (nurukan).

Food Pairing

The ultimate food sake — pairs beautifully with sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, tempura, yakitori, ramen, and izakaya-style dishes.

Winemaker Description 

Established in 1978, Kistler Vineyards stands as a pioneer in the realm of Californian winemaking, guided by the vision of founders Steve Kistler and Mark Bixler. Their belief that exceptional wines of site could thrive in California laid the foundation for a four-decade journey marked by dedication, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Kistler’s Pinot Noirs are come from two heritage selections originating from a Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy. Both clones contribute to the richness and complexity of the wines. The approach in the vineyard emphasizes low yields, small berries, and a delicate touch to let the individual site characteristics shine through.

Aromas of wild cherries, pepper, spice and earthy floral notes in the 2023 Russian River Pinot Noir lead to a rich, medium-bodied palate of red and black fruits with excellent depth of flavor, elegant balance and a deceptively long lasting finish.

• Redder soils banded with gravel from the Sebastopol soil series along the Gravenstein Ridge

Kistler Vineyards · Pinot Noir · Russian River Valley · 2024

Since 1978, Kistler Vineyards has set the benchmark for Burgundian-inspired winemaking in California. Their Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is sourced from vineyards along the Gravenstein Ridge — red, gravelly soils from the Sebastopol series that deliver the kind of cool-climate tension and mineral precision rarely found outside Burgundy itself. The vines are planted to Kistler's proprietary heritage clones, descended from Grand Cru Burgundy selections refined over 25 years of meticulous field work, prized for their low yields, small berries, and extraordinary site expression. At $85.99, this is one of California's most sought-after Pinot Noirs — and one of the most fairly priced at this level of pedigree.

The 2024 is harvested by hand at night to preserve freshness, 100% destemmed, and fermented in open-top tanks with native yeasts — only free-run juice collected, no pressing. Ten months in French oak (38% new, hand-stacked cooperage air-dried in St. Romain), then bottled unfined and unfiltered. The result: a complex bouquet of red currant, smoked earth, and exotic florals, leading to a seamless, medium-bodied palate with silky tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Drink now through 2032+.

Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc — Constantia, South Africa 2024

Klein Constantia is one of South Africa's most historic and celebrated estates, situated in the Constantia Valley on the slopes of the Cape Peninsula — a site with a winemaking legacy stretching back to the 17th century and home to the legendary Vin de Constance. Their Sauvignon Blanc is a wine of genuine craft and ambition: sourced from 42 individual vineyard blocks across the estate, each fermented separately to allow the terroir of each parcel to express itself before careful blending. Grapes are harvested at 4am to preserve freshness, and the winemaking is a meticulous balance of wild and inoculated fermentation — 80% wild (some ferments taking up to two months to complete), 20% with Non-Saccharomyces Cerevisiae for complexity and natural microbial protection. Ten percent is aged in neutral 500L oak barrels, and the wine spends six months on gross lees before blending and bottling.

The 2024 pours light and bright. The nose is perfumed and atypically complex for Sauvignon Blanc — grapefruit, lime, kiwi, yellow plum, and hints of mango, with a citrus blossom and umami thread. On the palate, it's moreish and textured with a crisp entry, quince, light walnut, flinty mineral elements, and a fresh salinity that gives it real energy. The finish is long, vibrant, and expressive — fanning out beautifully with aeration. Real texture for the variety.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2015

Decanter 96 Points | This is world class with lovely floral, spicy, marmalade, barley sugar, apricot and crme brle aromatics. The palate brings lively acidity and layers of delightful fruity flavors. Incredibly long.

Winemaker Description 

The drought prompted a shorter harvest, which resulted in faster ripening fruit yielding berries with concentrated flavours and well balanced acidity. With the renovated cellar, we could make use of dedicated tanks intended for perfect maceration and fermentation of the Muscat.

Throughout the season we harvested in batches - from the riper berries that have great acidity to the raisins for sugar concentration.

Each batch is kept separate and treated differently. These batches make up the perfect ratio between sugar, alcohol and acidity which allows the wine to stop fermentation naturally and without intervention.

The wine was aged in a combination of 50 % newFrench oak, Hungarian oak and French Acacia. It was left for a period of 3 years in barrel on the gross lees before racking out and blending. It spent a further 6 months in tank before bottling.
