A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from coastal vineyards. Terrific stuff! Unpretentious and approachable with a touch of nuance. Persistent bubbles bring liveliness to this wine that is loaded with tropical fruits, fleshy peach, and apple flavors.

From Famille Dupont: The “Cask Finish” collection is born from the desire to enrich the classic aromatic palette of our apple brandies by refining in casks that have previously contained wines and spirits.

This new edition, Apple Brandy & Caroni Rhum Cask, offers a surprising alliance between the fried and pastry notes of an apple brandy and cane sugar, aromas that have made the reputation of the Caroni Rhum distilleries located on the Trinidad and Tobago islands.

Aimed at lovers of spirits, this collection in very limited quantities has been designed to surprise your taste buds and especially to make you happy!

92 Points! ...the organic Pieropan 2024 Soave Classico is a favorite bottle from Northern Italy for very good reason. This simple expression of Garganega (blended with 15% Trebbiano di Soave for extra richness) offers nice freshness, mineral tones and sweet primary fruit that recalls freshly cut apple and white peach. This was not an easy vintage by any stretch, but this white wine comes out fighting. The Pieropan family does a terrific job with this entry-level release of 560,000 bottles. The grapes are sourced over 60 hectares on volcanic soils, and the wine sees a brief five to six months in cement tank. The process is simple and easy, and the wine is delicious. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com

97 Points, James Suckling's #1 Argentine Wine of the Year! So linear and driven, with so much tension and intensity. Aromas of sliced apples, lemons and stones.

Introducing Le Père Jules Pays d'Auge 3 Years Calvados, a premium brandy from the picturesque Normandy region of France. Matured for three years in oak barrels, this calvados offers a unique balance of youth and refinement, with bold aromas of green apples leading the way.

Perfect for mixing in cocktails or as a complement to sorbets, this brandy is an expression of the region's famous apples.

Situated just a 1.5 hour drive from Paris, Normandy boasts an oceanic-maritime climate, characterized by winds, rain, and variable coastal conditions, which contributes to the character of this calvados.

Normandy is also known for its rich apple culture and traditional dairy products like Isigny butter and cream, and famously Camembert cheese. Experience the essence of Normandy with a sip of Le Père Jules Pays d'Auge 3 Years Calvados.

Predominantly made from corn, this whisky is distilled in a Coffey still  and then matured in re-filled, American oak casks to deliver the sweet and mellow flavors of Coffey distillates. Aromas of dried hay, caramel, and apples. Thick, full, and rich on the palate. Chocolate and English toffee on the front, then on the middle, honey and caramel apple. The back offers charred oak, clove, and creamy vanilla.

94 Points – Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
“Offers tension and grip, a slow unroll, reserved at first but as it opens you get luscious white peach and pear fruits, along with elderflower and apple blossom florals. Great stuff from this lovely structure-driven white wine.”

93 Points – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“Just bottled, the Blanc de Lynch-Bages is a gorgeous, refreshing dry white to drink now and over the next handful of years. Lemon peel, white pepper, mint and chalky undertones are beautifully delineated.”

93 Points – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“Grapefruit, vanilla, green apples, and floral notes are all over the place. The palate is equally brisk, with its vibrant, crisp display of yellow citrus and crunchy green apples, with hints of white peach, juicy pineapple, and white pepper on the finish.”
