It’s new stuff roundup time!

Starting off in spirits, XILA Extra Spicy has arrived with the addition of 7 chilies, mango, and tamarind. Holy cow it’s good and not as crazy as you think! We now carry all four expressions from Manuscrito Tequila by picking up their Chapter 4 high proof Reposado rested in Chardonnay barrels. You can try it on our tasting bar this Saturday from 3-6pm!Heaven Hill Distillery has their new double mash blending rye and wheated mash bills.

In w**e, we have the AT Roca Reserva Brut Penedes 2023, using old-vine indigenous varietals with complex, toasted brioche notes. Then the Villet Arbois Chardonnay Jura 2023, an organic expression from a historic Jura family with great minerality, depth, and green apple brightness. We have Vignoble Pigeon Hill “Le Pigeon”, a low-intervention gem from Quebec bursting with red fruit and acidity. Then we have East Side Crossing red blend and Cab Sauv from Oak Ridge W**ery, dark fruit, balance, and velvety tannins.

We received our last-ever shipment from Wooden Ship Brewing Company as they convert to a taproom model. The ever-amazing Märzen from Ayinger Privatbrauerei has returned! And if you haven’t gone down the smoked b**r rabbit hole, try out Sif’s Locks Smoked Wheat Ale from Hammerheart Brewing Company !

New stuff roundup time! Here are a few items from each department we’re excited about.
Starting off with b**r, we are traveling coast to coast with Junkyard Brewing Company . There is a new school West coast IPA humbly named after the head brewer, Caesar Corey, and a new East Coast featuring an experimental New Zealand hop never seen before called Coin Operated. The third is a tasty IPA called Jungle Bird from Little Thistle Brewing that you can also have at Ball Park Cafe at the Minnesota State Fair ! Try it there and get it here.
In w**e, we’re starting off nerdy with the super-Tuscan Flaccianello Della Pieve, considered one of the world’s greatest and most legendary expressions of 100% Sangiovese from Fontodi . Then we have a delightful surprise in a rosé Port from Quevedo Port W**e that makes also makes great spritz! We also have a unique 4 grape red blended Alsatian from Pépin .

In spirits, the Black Maple Hill label has returned with their new red label bottles by Julian Van Winkle III with legendary Stitzel-Weller distillate. We have a very fun strawberry amaro liqueur from Matchbook Distilling made from strawberry w**e and a brandy made from said w**e; that makes an easy spritz! We also got Forthave Spirits latest gin, Migratory Notes: New York edition; super unique and made from juniper, coriander seed, lime peel, cardamom, grains of paradise, black lime, and wild mint, representing the migrant history of New York.
