Bee d'Vine Honey Wine
Bee d’vine is refreshingly floral and perfumed. Distinctive white flower blossoms come to mind; a layered bouquet of almond, honey suckle and jasmine.
The combination of spring water and honey make it abuzz with a lively minerality; imagine the scent of soil, immediately after an evening summer rain in the proximity of a jasmine bush in bloom.
Earthen notes give way to hints of almond emphasized by a waxy texture, but the degree differs between the Demi Sec – with a silky mouth feel owing to its higher honey content – and the Brut, which is smooth but leaner.
Like the bouquet, the finish exhibits a stark difference from grape wine – crisp but not tannic – possessing a brininess that balances the honey notes. Tannin free honey wine produces a remarkably cleaner finish than grape wines.

Charleston Sercial Madeira Special Reserve
Producers Notes:
The Rare Wine Co.
Sercial is the driest of the Madeira grapes. While there is still a hint of sweetness, as well as richness given the extended ageing and glycerine in the wine, the main characteristic is acidity, wonderful, jolting, intense acidity. While most desserts are out of the question with the Charleston Sercial, it still makes for a fine after dinner wine or a wonderful foil to a variety of dinner dishes.

Chateau d'Arlay Vin Jaune
It is our jewel, the emblem of our estate, the one which earns us a ranking amongst the greatest grand cru in the world. A dry and powerful wine with walnut fragrance, the Vin Jaune is obtained using only Savagnin grapes from 1953 & 1974 vines. Made the same way it has always been made, it is matured for 6 ½ years in a barrel allowing a slow natural evaporation without topping up, no sulphating and under a natural film of local yeasts without the addition of commercial yeast. We do a rigorous selection of barrels to ensure only the best blending once a year.
Richness and complexity of the aromas, persistence of the fragrances, fresh and delicate style, everything participates in the highest expression of quality. A yellow colour with green or gold reflection... Long and powerful scents from nuts (walnut, hazelnut), dry fruit (grape, fig), mushrooms (morel, truffle, boletus), sweet spices (cloves, curry, ginger), toasted bread, mocha. Clear and vigorous start in the mouth, tastes of fresh and dry nuts, oriental spices, roasted aromas, cold tea, exotic wood, tobacco.
The Vin Jaune is always served tempered at room temperature (17°C), warmer than any other dry white wine. Sometimes people find that Vin jaune is hard to match with a dish. It all but the opposite: Vin jaune is the perfect answer to all the dishes which are hard to tune with a wine, from a simple salad with French dressing to caviar. It’s ideal with a Shitake soup or the Bocuse’s truffle soup, foie gras, morels, grilled lobster, scallops, monkfish, crayfish, caviar, snails, our typical chicken dish in morel cream sauce, orange duck, sushis, matured cheese (Comté, Mont d’or, Cantal, Gruyère, Appenzell, English Stilton, Beaufort) with nut bread.
In a cellar, our vin jaune can be aged for more than a century! Also an opened bottle can be kept, under regular conditions, for several weeks.

Duckhorn Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 375ml
This rare and enticing Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc was made using fruit from a storied single vineyard in Sonoma County’s Knights Valley. Left to patiently ripen for an extra month, these grapes produced a rich, concentrated wine with alluring tropical aromas, pure sweet peach flavors and balancing acidity. To add complexity, it was aged on the lees for ten months in new oak.
Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this dazzling late harvest wine begins with a beautiful nose of fragrant honeysuckle, jasmine, lemon blossom and caramel candy apple. On the palate, it is rich and silky, with notes of brown sugar and baking spices underscoring mouth-filling layers of lemon cream and citrus, all of which carry through to a lush and lingering finish.

La Fleur d'Or Sauternes
Originally conceived in 1995 by Sauternes expert Bill Blatch with the négociant firm Vintex, La Fleur d’Or combines top notch parcels of wine from small lesser-known properties as well as some from classified châteaux.
The vineyards of the numerous small estates are mostly in Barsac, where the misty morning microclimate encourages the growth of Botrytis cinerea. The average age of the vines is approximately 35 years, and the soils are predominately red ferruginous (iron-rich) clay with some gravel.
The botrytized grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is traditionally vinified in small steel vats. The wine is then aged for one year in barrels, followed by an additional year in stainless steel vats. The final blend is always lively and fresh, with the hallmark notes of botrytis – a perfect wine for no fuss consumption.

La Spinetta
La Spinetta Moscato d'Asti
The Rivetti family story begins in the 1890s, when Giovanni Rivetti, left Piedmont for Argentina. Like many Italians then, he dreamed of returning rich man, perhaps even one day able to make great wine in his homeland. He never did, though his son, Giuseppe “Pin” did. Pin married Lidia, bought vineyards and began to make wine. Robert Parker has called Giorgio Rivetti the hottest winemaker in Italy, saying "Everything Rivetti has touched recently seems to have turned to magic."
This light dessert wine offers sweet and sexy aromas of dried apricots and crisp pineapple. It surprises with its remarkable freshness and brilliant fruit flavors, bright acidity and a zingy finish. Outstanding balance and a light sparkle make this traditionally dessert wine also an appropriate choice for an aperitif or a refreshing splash with brunch.
