This cider is made entirely from wild pippin apples according to the traditional method, using wild fermentation. A precise and extreme example of terroir, it is aromatic and austere with aromas of citrus and sage. This is full and lively with hay, bergamot, and cucumber. The palate gives soft smoky earth flavors and minerality. 

The nose is of cherry candy, orange, citrus and cinnamon. Lifted licorice and medicinal red cherry are sweet and viscous with a biting bitterness on the midpalate to the finish. This is dominated by red cherry with oranges and a long, bitter almond finish.

Richly herbal, with excited notes of star anise sitting beneath simmering spiced notes of cardamom and pepper. Decidedly green (and not just from the historical connection between Pastis liqueurs and Absinthe) with fresh, roughly chopped herbs, warming spices and, of course, the distinctive notes of wormwood. Slightly creamy texture with a long anise finish.

This is sweeter than Gran Classico, fruity and viscous with a light bitterness. An approachable aperitivo with fun notes of strawberry jam and punch. Fruitier and thicker than Aperol with flavors of spiced jam, clove and allspice. 17% a.b.v. Cappelletti, the venerable 4th generation creator is situated in the heart of the Dolomites near Trento.

This delicious rum is fragrant with coffee bean and white chocolate notes. On the palate, it gives white flavors like white chocolate, vanilla, custard cream and white pepper. This is soft and rounded, has a creamy sweetness and is a terrific value for its fragrance and flavor. Try it with a pina colada or mojito or just sip on its own.

This appealing, soft, French gin gives notes of fig, fig leaves, a fruity  sweetness, black pepper and a creamy mouthfeel. It is as attractive on the palate as it's bottle.

Bright raspberry, blackberry, plum and red cherry notes, spices, gentian bitterness and hints of burdock, bergamot, blood orange, cinnamon and red licorice are well blended. There's a pleasant sweetness (hint of cherry cola) that's balanced by an amaro note. Good viscosity lends itself to light dilution.

From the Producer: Carpano Antica Formula stands out from all the other vermouths thanks to its unique bouquet and its unmistakable vanilla notes. Bouquet of vanilla with spicy, citrusy and dried fruit notes of almond, raisins and cloves. – Palate: well-rounded, rich vanilla taste that picks up the aromas from the nose. Combines well with the bitter orange, dates, cocoa beans and saffron flavours. 

This Spanish Vermouth begins with aromas of baking spices, root beer and roasted nuts. On the palate, there are complex flavors that include bark, roots, cola, dried herbs, cinnamon, caramel, burnt orange and orange peel with a mild and pleasant bitterness balancing the light sweetness. The finish is clean and pleasant.

From the Producer: Sweet and aromatic, our Vermouth de Chambéry is a favorite for all gourmands and remains a timeless symbol of elegance. It has clear brilliant color and a complex nose with aromas of freshly-picked Alpine botanicals, followed by camphor and then citrus notes. A pleasant harmony of botanical notes develop on the palate in a silky texture. To complete the impression, the aromas of broom and elderflower in this white vermouth give way to notes of fresh almond and peach.

This sweet vermouth is halfway to amaro territory, offering lovely brown spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove) along with medicinal and menthol notes, cherry candy, orange and sage. There is a pleasant but notable bitterness, reminiscent of a light, sweet amaro. You'll find this nice for sipping or enjoying in cocktails that need a bit of bitterness.

From the Producer:  14 different herbs and spices are sourced all around the world to make Noilly Prat Extra Dry. Among them Chamomile, Coriander from Morocco, Bitter Oranges from Tunisia or Orris Root from Italy.

Tangerine, orange oil and savory notes greet you, following with with baked and spiced apples, cantaloupe melon, Mandarin orange and light florality. Toasted walnut and clove flavors provide complexity in this medium weight wine which is overall, clean, bright, and zippy finishing with an herbal touch. 

This skin-contact Pinot Grigio is the color of a rosé and tastes somewhere between an orange wine and a dry rosé. It is clean and fresh with lively scents of strawberry, rose and apple. The palate is medium to full-bodied with more strawberry, along with nectarine, red currants, cherry and peach notes. It is at the same time creamy and juicy with slight salinity and tannin providing a framework to the wine. A very interesting and captivating wine.
