Producer Description 

Van Winkle's magnum opus. A rye whiskey that masquerades as a bourbon, and one of the most awe-inspiring whiskeys to ever come out of Kentucky. Enigmatic and highly sought-after, expect a sumptuously smooth mouthfeel, rolling with outstanding and captivating flavors that blur the lines between rye and bourbon and leave you wondering and wanting more. 

On the nose, classic notes of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon and spice prevail, before a silky, alkaline mouthfeel comes to the fore with rye spice, cinnamon, ground black pepper and smooth caramel notes, before a buttery finish that brings subtle spice, toffee and oak. While it may not hold the same stature as its "Pappy" counterparts, the 13 Year Old Family Reserve Rye from van Winkle is perhaps the most important whiskey in their portfolio. 

Winemaker Notes

100% Cabernet Franc from certified-organic, young vines on sandy parcels near the Vienne River in Chinon. Hand-harvested, destemmed (not crushed), and fermented with native yeasts in tank for ~15 days. Aged 6 months in stainless steel to preserve bright, pure fruit. 2024 marks the latest vintage of this playful vin de soif from one of Chinon's most legendary estates.

Tasting & Style

The Olga Raffault Chinon "La Fraîch" 2024 is the estate's modern, early-drinking red — light-bodied, juicy, and built for immediate enjoyment. Sandy soils give it a silky, approachable character that sets it apart from Raffault's more structured cuvées like Les Picasses.

• Serve slightly chilled (55°F / 12–14°C) to highlight its freshness.
• Food pairings: Charcuterie, grilled sausages, goat cheese (Chèvre), or lightly spiced vegetarian dishes.

Olivier Leflaive Les Sétilles — Bourgogne Blanc, Burgundy 2023

Olivier Leflaive is one of Burgundy's most respected négociant-éleveurs, founded in 1984 in Puligny-Montrachet by a member of the legendary Leflaive family — one of the most storied names in white Burgundy. The maison specializes in white wines from the Côte de Beaune and is known for sustainable farming and minimal-intervention winemaking. Les Sétilles — named for the small stones found in the vineyards — is the flagship entry-level wine and one of the most consistently praised value Burgundies on the market. While technically labeled as a Bourgogne Blanc, the fruit is sourced primarily from vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, two of the Côte de Beaune's most celebrated white wine villages. The result is a wine with the DNA of much more expensive village-level Burgundy at a fraction of the price — a genuine insider's choice for those who know.

The nose offers aromas of white flowers, peach, grilled almond, and lemon peel on a mineral-tinged background, with appealing Granny Smith apple and nectarine fruit and a hint of white blossom. The attack is full and warm on the palate, with a surprisingly fresh texture for the vintage — lively acidity driving spicy, bitter citrus through to an elegantly long and lasting finish. Astonishing quality given the volume of production.

Decanter 90 — "Appealing Granny Smith apple and nectarine fruit aroma with a hint of white blossom. Surprisingly fresh texture for the vintage, and an elegantly lovely finish — astonishing quality given the volume of production."

Wine Spectator 90 — "Peach, almond, toasty oak and earth notes highlight this plush white. Backed by lively acidity that drives the spicy, bitter citrus finish. Fine balance and length."

Chardonnay | Burgundy, France | 375ml Half Bottle

Producer & Terroir

Les Sétilles draws on vineyards within the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, each contributing roughly half of the final blend. Multiple plots bring complexity to this Bourgogne Blanc, presented here in a convenient 375ml half bottle.

Tasting Profile

James Suckling’s 2022 review describes a crisp, lively Chardonnay with apple, lemon zest and mineral tang, gaining toasted almond and butter notes as it opens. Medium-bodied and balanced, it offers a detailed white Burgundy experience in a smaller format.

Expert Review · Vintage 2022

James Suckling, 92 Points: Very snappy and crisp on first sip, this gains depth and complexity in toasted almonds and butter as it opens. Alive with crisp apples, lemon zest and a mineral tang that gives a very lively texture and great balance. Medium-bodied. Blended from 60 sites in the region, it was partially barrel fermented.

Winemaker Description

Winemaker Description: Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc Les Sétilles (family garden) has become one of the most popular items in the entire Frederick Wildman portfolio. Year in/ year out this wine represents impeccable quality and unsurpassed value in the French wine category. This wine exceeds expectations of even the most discriminating of palates.

Les Sétilles is sourced from vineyards within the communes of Puligny Montrachet and Meursault, with each village representing roughly half of the final blend. Grapes are sourced from multiple plots within each village in an effort to maximize complexity of the final wine.

Vintage consistency is the goal with this wine so the blending of lots and aging technique will vary according. Roughly 60% of the wine is aged in Allier oak, only 10% of which is new. The remaining 40% of the wine is aged in stainless steel to preserve clean varietal character.

Food Pairings & Serving

Our suggestions: roast chicken, pan-seared fish or mushroom dishes. Serve chilled, allowing a little time in the glass to explore the developing almond and butter notes described in the review.

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

Ken's Wine Guide | This slightly cloudy midnight purple colored Zinfandel from Once and Future opens with a blackberry and red licorice bouquet with hints of red plum, black cherry, dried sage, and violets. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and smooth. The flavor profile is blackberry, stone dust, and cinnamon blend with notes of boysenberry, black plum and nutmeg. We also detected hints of black tea and oak. The finish is dry, and its well-managed moderate tannins are very nicely sustained. The Tasting Panel would then pair this Zin with a nice New York strip steak along with a dark chocolate mousse. Enjoy – 

Vinous 91 Points | The 2022 Zinfandel Green & Red Vineyard is another wine in this range that is pretty closed today. It has plenty of energy, but the mid-palate is not quite as developed as it is in most vintages. Bottled on the early side, this feels a bit like it’s not fully developed.

The 2021 One Stone Cabernet is loaded with complex aromas of plum, black olive, caramel, graphite and earthy loam. The palate is sumptuous and integrated, offering generous flavors of black cherry, cassis, cranberry, fig, anise and espresso. Velvety textures and flashy tannins complete the experience of this fully expressed Cabernet Sauvignon.

Orin Swift Abstract Blend Grenache, Petite Sirah & Syrah 2023 750ml

Orin Swift is the creation of Dave Phinney — one of California’s most visionary winemakers, who built his reputation making bold, label-forward wines that punch far above their price point. Abstract is his signature red blend: a proprietary mix of Petite Sirah, Grenache, Syrah, and Zinfandel sourced from premier California vineyards and aged seven months in 30% new oak. The label — a swirling abstract painting — is a nod to Phinney’s belief that great wine, like great art, should provoke a reaction. Abstract reliably does exactly that.

The 2023 is a bold, expressive, and deeply satisfying California red — explosive blue fruit aromatics, crystalline acidity, and firm tannins that give it real structure and aging potential. A wine that is equally at home at a dinner party or opened on a Tuesday when only something serious will do.

"Bursts with explosive blue fruit aromatics, layered with violets and sweet baking spice. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is packed with pure blue fruit, blackberry, and black cherry, all structured around a crystalline acid backbone and firm tannins. The juicy fruit finish lingers, accented by white pepper and pressed floral aromatics — a bold yet balanced expression of Orin Swift’s signature style." — Decanter, 94 pts

James Suckling — 93 Points
A deep and full-bodied red that’s powerful in black fruit and laced with fine-grained tannins. Blackberry, dried blueberry, black licorice and black pepper flavors backed by sturdy tannins for a grippy texture. A blend of primarily petite sirah with syrah and grenache. Drink or hold.

Orin Swift EIGHT YEARS In the Desert Zin, Petite Sirah, Syrah Napa Valley 2024 750ml

Winemaker Description

Eight Years in the Desert is the culmination of decades of Orin Swift winemaking — a wine born from an eight-year Zinfandel non-compete agreement entered in 2008 that pushed the team to hone their craft across other varietals, setting the stage for Zinfandel's triumphant return to the lineup.

The 2024 vintage is sourced from vineyards across California, including the historic Monte Rosso vineyard on Sonoma County's Moon Mountain District AVA, as well as Stefani Ranch, Dark Horse, and numerous others. What first catches the eye is the opaque mauve core with a vivid fuchsia rim. The nose opens with aromatics of black plum and boysenberry galette, Tellicherry peppercorn, cedar, and musk. Taut yet supple on entry, the palate delivers wild blackberry, crispy pluot, a hint of fennel, and slate, finishing with soft framing tannins and a close of milk chocolate-covered raspberry.

Expert Review

Wine Advocate 93 Points — Based primarily on Zinfandel (60%, mainly from Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley), with 28% Petite Sirah, 7% Syrah, and 5% other reds. A terrific effort with a perfumed nose of ripe raspberries and hints of stone fruit. Full-bodied (15.4% ABV) and silky-textured, nicely balanced and mouthwatering, with soft tannins on the finish.

Orin Swift · Machete · California Red Blend · 2022

Machete is Orin Swift’s Petite Sirah-driven California red — a wine that wears its power unapologetically. Named for the blade, it is built for those who want something bold, brooding, and uncompromising: inky, chewy, and loaded with dark fruit. The 2022 blends Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Grenache, aged 12 months in French oak (36% new), and earned 91 points from Wine Advocate for its combination of ripe, full-bodied intensity and surprising brightness on the finish.

The 2022 Machete pours an opaque, inky garnet with a neon violet rim — be careful, it stains. The nose opens with powerful notes of bright black plum, slate, cacao, wild sage, and crushed gravel. On the palate, brooding blackberry pie and ripe blue fruits are tempered with hints of orange peel and Amarena cherry. Chewy tannins, classic Petite Sirah, soften over time and culminate in a lengthy finish with a note of sweet oak. Full-bodied, mouthwatering, and built to impress.

“A blend based on Petite Sirah, the 2022 Machete features classic Petite Sirah aromas of black cherries, blueberries and licorice. Full-bodied and big-boned, this is very ripe, yet it’s surprisingly tart, mouthwatering and bright on the finish, framed by ripe, softly dusty tannins.”

Orin Swift Palermo Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

Winemaker Description

Palermo is Orin Swift's ode to the quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon — a patchwork portrait of different vineyards, unique AVAs, and regional microclimates that is both classically Cabernet and unmistakably Orin Swift. Sourcing fruit from across the valley allows the team to produce lots of varying styles: dark and concentrated from the warmer areas of Napa, and more savory from the cooler sites. Once blended, they marry their strengths to showcase this incredible region.

The 2022 Palermo opens with a dark garnet core and brooding cardinal rim. The nose delivers crunchy cassis, muddled boysenberry, ripe elderberry, chaparral, and cedar. The palate continues many of the aromatics — cassis, blackberry, savory, and thyme — effuse with ripe dark fruits and complex savory tones, closing with long, soft tannin chains and hints of licorice, black pepper, and star anise.

Producer: Orin Swift Cellars
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Napa Valley, California
Vintage: 2022
Aging: 12 months in French oak, 31% new
ABV: 15.2%
Size: 750ml

Winemaker Description 

The 2022 Slander delivers a medium ruby core with a lucid rim that's almost translucent. Aromatically, bing cherry, briar fruit and some raspberry give way to ripe strawberry and associated red fruits. Bright and enveloping on the entry, notes of fresh strawberry, watermelon, thyme and a hint of funk come through. Spicy on the finish, the wine closes with a flash of blue fruits and lift.

There’s a soul to this business and that soul isn’t just from the people who make wine, it’s from everyone who loves wines that make them feel something.” Dave Phinney

Winemaker Description 

El Rall Artigas Alella Red, biodynamic wine, 50% Merlot, 20% Garnatxa Negra (Grenache Noir), 20% Syrah, and 10% Sumol from 4 vineyards planted on granitic sand. 

Oriol’s ancient vineyards of native vines are largely based on granite rock, known locally as Sauló, at between 100 and 350 metres elevation.  This results in wines often rich in minerality, conjuring aromas that will take you all the way to the Mediterranean. 

The grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tank with 3 days on the skins, then transferred to a mix of stainless steel tanks and used barrels to rest for approximately 18 months before blending and bottling with no sulphites. 

El Rall Artigas is natural, hot climate red wine which is bursting with flavour and although 100% pure, there is no real funkiness, just soft fruits and tension from the granite soils. 

Winemaker Description 

Origin Alella, Catalunya.

Varieties 100% Pansa Blanca

From 7 vineyards around Alella, all planted on Saulò (granitic sand) aty 120-300m. The vines were planted between 1939 and 1998.

Vinification Method The grapes were harvested by hand and half were destemmed and crushed by foot, then left to macerate on the skins for 3-4 days; the other half were destemmed, left whole, and macerated on the skins for 9 days. The two parts were pressed and finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks and fiberglass, then rested for 11 months on
the lees in the same vessels. 

Bottled without fining, filtering, or added sulfur. Oriol Artigas, an Alella native and trained enologist, started his project of making non- interventionist wines in 2011. His over-arching philosophy is to “cultivate the vineyards in the most natural and least interventionist way possible, to allow the grapes to express in the most intense way the landscape from which they come.”

He works about 12 hectares in total, mostly of old vines. He allows vegetation to grow between the vines, prunes very little, and works the vineyards primarily along the lunar calendar. In the winery, fermentations are completely spontaneous, aging is primarily done in steel vats, and sulfur is never used at any point in his process. The vineyards of Alella are essentially the vineyards of Barcelona, located just north of the city along the coast of the Mediterranean. 

The primary soil type is a kind of white granite, locally called Sauló, and the main grape grown here is Pansa Blanca (the local clone of Xarel- lo) with a whole slew of other grape varieties inter-planted as well.

Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2024 is an exceptional Super Tuscan red from the prestigious Ornellaia estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany.

First introduced in 1997, Le Serre Nuove has earned a reputation for combining the depth and sophistication of a great Tuscan wine with remarkable freshness, elegance, and approachability.

The 2024 vintage displays a deep ruby color with youthful violet reflections. The expressive bouquet opens with fresh raspberries, redcurrants, and ripe red berries, complemented by delicate floral aromas, subtle spice, and hints of Mediterranean herbs.

On the palate, the wine is vibrant and beautifully structured, offering juicy red fruit, refreshing acidity, and refined, elegant tannins. Its impressive concentration is balanced by freshness and precision, leading to a long, harmonious finish with lingering fruit and savory complexity.

An outstanding expression of Bolgheri's coastal terroir, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2024 delivers the unmistakable character of Ornellaia in a wine that is both approachable in its youth and capable of graceful evolution in the cellar.

Expert Rating

94 Points James Suckling: A spicy wine with aromas of cloves, toast, restrained dark fruit, balsamic and a hint of eucalyptus. Quite full-bodied with refreshing acidity and velvety tannins that are firm, extracted and grainy yet sweet. Tight, muscular yet savory finish. Very tasty.

93 Points — Jeb Dunnuck: The 2024 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia, a blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Vermentino, 3% Sémillon, and 2% Viognier, pours a bright silver/yellow hue with a subtle green tinge. The nose is fresh and expressive, offering notes of white flowers, guava, lime, peach, and fresh sage, with a restrained tropical character. Medium-bodied, it floats across the palate with elegance, showing vibrant acidity, saline lift, and a lively, energetic profile. A beautifully balanced white, it emphasizes freshness and precision. Drink 2026-2032.

91 Points — Decanter: Grassy and herbal with soft citrus aspects. Juicy and nicely fragrant, there's some baked lemon patisserie elements, caramel and baked pears. This has some weight to the texture with an enjoyable salty finish. 2% Viognier completes the blend.

90 Points — Vinous: The 2024 Poggio alle Gazze is airy, bright and gracious. Lemon peel, sage, chalk, mint and white pepper open first, followed by brisk, salivating acids that are quite prominent. This is an especially austere vintage for Poggio alle Gazze. I would give it a bit of time in bottle.

90 Points — Wine Spectator: Earthy aromas give way to cut grass, pine and lychee flavors, all aligned to a juicy texture, with fine intensity and length. The earthy aromas dissipate with air, so open this a little in advance or decant. Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, Viognier and Verdicchio.

Producer Description 

Athough Port Dundas Distillery closed its doors in 2010, there are select, rare remaining stocks that allow a glimpse into the glorious past of one of Scotland’s most respected and historic distilleries. Muckety-Muck is one of those rare single grain scotches, now boasting 25 years of aging following the smashing success of our 24-year-old release.

The aroma starts with a burst of caramel and notes of baked sugar backed by the taste of crisp fruit and light toasted oak. The fruit forward flavor is blended with hints of butterscotch vanilla which carry through to the finish.

Producer Description 

Forager’s Keep 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the latest release from the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co. It is the fourteenth release and the first single malt Scotch whisky to appear in the collection.

Perhaps the shortest lived of all Speyside distilleries, Pittyvaich—Gaelic for ‘farmstead at the birch wood’— was the innocent victim of industry restructuring. The distillery closed in 1993 through no fault of its whisky and has long since been demolished. Its pleasing single malt has never been widely available, though it has been proven to age well as none younger than 25 years of age remains. 

Most closed distilleries have produced for decades, even centuries before their closure. Pittyvaich lived for a mere 18 years, making it one of the most rarely seen single malts of all. This rare, limited release Forager’s Keep 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has lived longer than the distillery from which it came. It is the first of its kind for the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co.

Otto's Constant Dream · Marlborough, New Zealand · 2025 · 750ml

Otto's Constant Dream Sauvignon Blanc is estate grown by Hunter's Estate and sustainably farmed from vines planted in the 1980s and 1990s. Fruit comes from two corners of Marlborough: Rapaura, where free-draining soils produce very pretty wines, and Omaka, where higher clay content gives more power on the palate.

Every block is fermented separately, mostly in stainless steel with a very small percentage in French oak for a layer of texture. Skin contact is avoided, and the wine rests on lees for about 6 weeks before being lightly fined and filtered.

Tasting Notes

Behind the pale green-yellow color lurks a vivid bouquet with a smidgen of grass that puts your palate on notice. Fresh sage, blackcurrant, passion fruit and a jolt of lemon-lime lead the way, with citrus, minerals and a hint of the nearby sea giving the wine a bracing, thirst-quenching finish.

Winemaker Description

Zesty and aromatic, Marlborough Sauvignons Blancs are fantastic with crisp and tangy flavors. Delightful with a Meyer lemon risotto, seared tuna tacos with pickled red onions or a goat cheese quiche. Estate grown and sustainably farmed. Fermentation vessels are predominantly stainless steel, with a very small percentage in French Oak, to contribute a layer of texture.

Hunter's Estate

Pairings & Serving

James Suckling 90 Points | A perfumed nose with gooseberries, green melon, currant leaves and stones. Crisp and crunchy with a medium body and bright, razor-sharp acidity. Sustainable. 

Producer Description 

Ouzo 12 is an iconic Greek spirit celebrated for its smooth, aromatic blend of anise and herbs. Distilled from the finest ingredients and aged in traditional copper stills, it delivers a crisp, velvety texture with notes of spice and licorice.

Perfect neat, over ice, or with water, Ouzo 12 captures the authentic taste of Greece in every sip. 

Beverage Tasting Institute 92 Points | Clear color. Aromas and flavors of licorice, candy-coated aniseed, dried mint, and caraway with a silky, bright, moderately sweet light body and a warming, breezy finish. An outrageously smooth and balanced anise spirit for cocktails, highballs, and more.

Possibly the highest-quality ouzo produced in Greece. The blend of aromatics used for Verino’s ouzo—though a closely guarded secret—includes Mastiha (sap from the mastic tree) in its pure, raw form; a very rare ingredient to use in ouzo.
