This one is absolutely delicious and a total crowd pleaser. One sip and you’ll know why I went for the 5-Year Single Barrel Bourbon above all else from these kings of the hill in Alabama.
Nose- Maple syrup, caramel, baked bread & brown sugar
Palate, caramel apple, roasted almond & ripe banana. Full mouth feel with a creamy finish.
Finish- long & lingering with just the right amount of burn.
The second year of this elegant, silky smooth Willamette Valley Pinot Noir crafted by Bertrand de Villane of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti fame. Again it comes from the gorgeous Winter’s Hill Estate about 700 feet above sea level in the Dundee Hills. All indications are that the 2019 is going to be one of the best for Pinot Noir since 1991. A flawless summer that benefited from very little rain mixed with cool, breezy summer nights. With a round, supple mouthfeel and a sturdy backbone this will age gracefully for a decade plus. Bertrand’s wines just have a signature stamp that is unmistakably his. This is phenomenal.

This champagne is so good, it’s often a staple on the wine lists of Michelin two and three star restaurants. It offers elegant aromatics, pristine fruit and the crisp, mineral finish that screams for food. We loved it so much, we asked Jacques Diebolt to bottle a special cuveé for the restaurant– and he happily agreed!
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
I’m exciting to bring this one to you for as long as it lasts (which I don’t think will be long). I have exclusive access to a secret declassified Leflaive project that features fruit exclusively from Puligny Montrachet. But because the land is owned by relatives and long time friends the wines say, Leflaive & Associes instead of Domaine Leflaive. Same farmers, winegrowers and vineyard managers, just not the estate fruit. Made in the Leflaive winery with the same barrels. Still the same unrivaled class in a bottle. Wine Spectator’s feature on the 2018 Leflaive wines called it “an ideal vintage”. That’s what you’re getting today. The same essential calcareous clay soil, the same team behind the best white wines in the whole world.
Selecting a barrel of Makers Mark is different from any other single barrel. With Makers you get to blend your own barrel using different different wood staves of varying levels of char & wood. In blending these barrels, there are 1001 possible combinations. For mine, I used 3 baked American pure, 2 seared French Cuvée, 2 Maker’s 46, 3 roasted French Mocha staves. It was bottled at 112.1 proof in December of 2020. For me, this is hands down the best Maker’s Mark that I’ve ever tasted. Fragrant notes of toffee, caramel apple and coffee. Despite being high alc., it’s crazy smooth and seductive with vanilla and caramel notes and a creamy finish that delivers a super enjoyable slow burn.
Thanksgiving is the type of occasion that is infinitely improved by having great wines on the table. Not to sweat, I have you covered and I’m putting the word out early. We have the perfect case for the occasion. This year, I’m making it extra special though, offering up four wines that you haven’t seen yet before, and a few that are as of now only available in this case. Four very different wines (three bottles each) that all bring something different to the table offered up a great price that amounts for big savings! A gorgeous, high-toned cool-climate Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir made by Walter Schug, the former winemaker at Joseph Phelps, the brand new, never been seen before Chad McKinley Springs Cabernet Sauvignon, a gorgeous 2018 Bordeaux that is bursting with energy and juiciness and delicious, intense and tiny dry bubbles courtesy of Bele Casel. This is an awesome case– a little something for everyone. 31% OFF for a limited time!
Old Elk makes a few different expressions but what I found the most interesting is the Wheated Bourbon. To have the opportunity to buy a bottle from a single barrel of 6-year old juice at cask strength from Old Elk is what the Bourbon Buyers Club is all about. This baby was bottled at Cask Strength – 115.4 proof It’s very balanced sipper for sure- on the nose, buttered popcorn, vanilla & Toffee. On the palate- dried peach, baked apple pie & milk chocolate. The finish is long and lingering with a sweetness that gives way to winter spice that goes on for 2 minutes .
This Barrel was born in June, 21st 2016.
Proof- cask strength 108.1 Proof
On the nose this one has seductive notes of ripe summer fruit with hints of tobacco and toasted oak. On the palate, it gives a heavy dose of caramel maple and overripe banana with a long lingering finish of rye spice, toasted marshmallow and butterscotch. This is one of Peerless’ first single-barrel five year olds they’ve ever released and the first in New Jersey. It is an absolute treat.
