WINERY SPOTLIGHT

Mexico does not often come to mind when one thinks of wine, but a passionate wine scene has been developing steadily for some time in Baja's Valle de Guadalupe region. Italian transplant Paolo Paoloni has spent 25 years making wine in Mexico after helping his father make wine while growing up in Italy's Le Marche region. Paolo is now one of the most respected producers in the Valle de Guadalupe, especially when it comes to Nebbiolo. We were introduced to Paoloni wines just a few months back and we've really enjoyed sharing their story and wines with customers!

Paoloni

Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot

2021

$23.99

Winemaker's notes:

From the union of Italian winemaking tradition and Mexican terroir, Paoloni Wines is born. The character and elegance of these wines are the result of the interpretation of the wonderful resources of the Guadalupe Valley, joined with the best selection of grape varieties and state of the art winemaking technology. The result is a great wine, with deep red color and intense aromas of forest fruits and spices, balanced on the palate with soft tannins, structured and good persistence.

70% Cabernet Sauvignon | 30% Merlot

Paoloni

Nebbiolo de Guadalupe

2020

$32.99

Winemaker's notes:

An encounter of two lands, a fusion of two cultures, the superb combination of Italian elegance and Mexican intensity is expressed in Paoloni Wines. Balanced and structured with gripping tannins and vibrant acidity. Fragrant aromas of berries, spices, hint of violets and oak. Great wine to pair with red meats, aged cheeses, pasta or to drink by itself.

WHISKEY SPOTLIGHT

Stonestreet

Founder's Edition

Small Batch

Kentucky Straight Bourbon

$59.99

From the distiller:

Our passion for bourbon grew out of our love of horseracing. In 2005, we established Stonestreet Farms in Kentucky intending to make our mark in top-level thoroughbred racing. That dream became a reality when we won three consecutive American Horses of the Year: Curlin (2007, 2008) and Rachel Alexandra (2009).

As with horses, mastering bourbon challenges the limits of willpower and perseverance.

Fortunately, we know the importance of grit. Passed down through six generations, the Stonestreet name—which graces our horse farm, our family estate vineyard, and now our first bourbon—embodies a drive for excellence, along with the humility to understand that victory is never a given.

The Founder’s Edition bourbon was created after numerous trials and experimentation. We found that aging our bourbon for at least five years achieved an enticing balance of aromas, flavors, complexity, versatility, and, most importantly, quality.

Outer Range Brewing

Frisco, CO

It's always a treat whenever Outer Range beers show up. Since spring 2020, we have seen ORB only a few times each year, but they have become one of my favorite Colorado breweries, especially for hazy IPAs. This run of ORB brings us Drift for the first time alongside one of their staples, In The Steep, which we've had several times in the past - so we decided to make a fun split 4pk so you get to try a little bit of both without having to purchase a 4pk of each.

Hazy Split 4pk

Includes (2) 16oz cans of each:

Drift Hazy IPA Hops: Wai-iti & Strata 7.2% abv

*please note the can label contains incorrect information about the ABV and hops of this specific batch. The information above is correct.
