This one comes from Casa San Matía a distillery with over 130 years of history operating in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. They have long been a serious player, known for their uncompromising approach to crafting the best tequila. They’re lead by Carmen Villarreal who has has worked closely with the expert craftswomen and men of Casa San Matías for decades, honoring traditions while also spending big bucks in order to make the excellent Corazón tequilas that they do.
Crazy enough, this one actually comes from a barrel I picked out in 2020. It actually fell off my radar after months and months of not receiving it – I guess I just assumed it was a casualty of the pandemic and would eventually be worked out.
Unbeknownst to me, in it rolled last week – my own numbered single barrel – bottled and labeled with the crisp Nicholas Reserve name over the super rare green Reposado label. I’m not even sure they’re making this anymore, but if they are – I promise the price is nowhere near the deal I locked into pre-pandemic. Talk about timing too – right in time for cinco de mayo and spring. This is the perfect Tequila to drink by itself neat, on the rocks or even part of a cocktail, as it’s totally delicious but also available at a super juice price.

Like all of my single barrels, please don’t confuse this with the “regular” bottling. This is nothing like it in terms of depth of flavor and overall quality.
This is a spectacular new release – a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay from one of California’s hottest spots. As bright and refreshing as you could want, it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality creeping in on the finish. It’s a fantastic wine for summer, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
Winemaker Marjorie Gallet’s Effet Papillon Rouge is a terrific blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignane, harvested from the iron rich soil just outside of Rivesaltes at the base of Pyrenees. This one is a vibrant wine, with aromas of wild black raspberries and sweet spices. The mid palate is rich and velvety, with a core of sweet black fruit that finishes fresh, long and silky. At the price, it’s one of the easier no-brainer case buys we offer.

Joseph Magnus is a big time name in the whiskey world. Bourbon people go nuts for it. For my money, the Murray Hill Club Bourbon is the most interesting one in the lot, a skillful blend that marries 18 and 11-year-old bourbon with 9-year-old light whiskey. It boasts rich notes of toasted oak, vanilla, butterscotch, honey and toffee with dried fruits, nutmeg and a peppery, spicy finish. This one was bottled at 103 Proof. Just a handful of bottles are up for grabs.
Our special relationship with the red-hot Wyoming Whiskey has given us some incredible opportunities. We had a ‘Steamboat’ Whiskey that was previously only for the state of Wyoming as well as our own private barrel. Now, we’ve got their super limited production of Outryder Rye. It’s not a bourbon. It’s not a true rye. The result is a incredibly unique spirit that’s great for sipping or making cocktails. This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye.
