LALO Tequila

 

LALO Blanco Tequila...$44.99 / 750ml

ADDITIVE FREE

To say that tequila-making runs in the family is an understatement. LALO is named in honor of Eduardo "Lalo" González, the son of Don Julio González and the father of our co-founder and maestro tequilero, who is also named Lalo. Lalo continues as the third generation of his tequilero family with a bold new approach to perfecting blanco tequila.

After nearly a decade in the tequila industry, David Carballido, Lalo's childhood friend, approached Lalo to create a truly pure blanco tequila. Together, they wanted to showcase a traditionally made tequila with a distinctly modern, Mexican aesthetic. What began as a small, private batch in Guadalajara is now a premium tequila that is beloved for its crisp, pure taste.

Each bottle of LALO is 100% pure. We distill only twice to maintain the integrity of our agave, and add no flavors or additives. With LALO, our ingredients are only agave, yeast and water to honor the complex essence of agave.

Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke Bourbon

 

Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke Bourbon...$52.99 / 750ml

Finally received enough to put online - grab some!

COLOR: Deep, rich amber with copper undertones

AROMA: A mellow smoke character with a hint of sweet vanilla

FLAVOR: Soft char with a light sweetness reminiscent of butterscotch and maple

FINISH:  Crisp yet delicate smokiness with light toasted hickory wood

AN ENTIRELY NEW TAKE ON SMOKY SPIRITS

Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke features the same high-rye mash bill that Basil Hayden loyalists know and love, but uses secondary aging to deliver a unique, layered flavor with a refined hint of smokiness.

We begin by toasting and lightly charring the secondary barrel. This is followed by delicately igniting hickory-smoked chips at a constant feed to produce smoke, which is then pumped into the barrel, resulting in notes of soft char and light butterscotch. This unique flavor provides a smoother, more subtle take on smoky spirits, and creates the perfectly sophisticated, yet approachable introduction to both bourbon and Basil Hayden.

Serving Subtle Smoke neat or on the rocks allows the mellow smoke and sweet vanilla notes to shine while complementing the spicy rye flavors typical to Basil Hayden bourbon’s high-rye mash bill. At 80 proof, Subtle Smoke is light enough to examine on the palate without the burn typically associated with higher-proof or overly smoky spirits.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, this rye exudes rich fudge-filled brownies with apricot jam sweetness, underscored by earthy birch and freshly cracked black pepper.

The first sip unleashes spry vanilla and peppery arugula alongside snappy white peppercorns. As the finish lingers, sweet cherry cordials and supple leather emerge.

Blender's Story:

Nestled in the town of Rochelle, Illinois, just 4 hours north of St. Louis, resides the historic Kennay Farms Distillery. Occupying a converted 1930s movie theater that once hosted the close-knit farming community, Kennay Farms now houses their family-run distillery, brewery, and tasting room. The repurposed building echoes six generations of agricultural tradition in Illinois, dating back to the 1880s.

Captured in these bottles is some of Kennay Farms' oldest aged rye whiskey to date. By blending two remarkable 15-gallon barrels, I’ve crafted a whiskey that evokes nights filled with cherished records. Letting the music guide your evening into self-reflective meditation.

I hand-selected these barrels seeking to strike that perfect chord - like band members blending their sounds into artistic harmony. Drawn from generations of distilling expertise, this rye whiskey release is my tribute to the phenomenon of finding the right song the the right moment.

-Minister of Blending Steve Nease

Huge Jack Daniels connection!

The Reverend is a small batch, hand-crafted sour mash whiskey that pays homage to seven generations of American distillers and whiskey makers. The Reverend, Daniel Call, mentor to a young Jasper Daniel and friend to trailblazing distiller Nathan "Uncle Nearest" Green, gave up his stake in the old No. 7 distillery to live the life of a preacher. However, his descendants carried on his early legacy of moonshining and whiskey making in Wilkes County, North Carolina, where they produce spirits to this day. This premium whiskey is aged for over four years in new charred oak and first-fill bourbon casks before using the same maple charcoal filtration process that was made famous in Lincoln County, Tennessee, to refine and enhance the spirit after it leaves the barrel."

2020 Domaine de Trévallon Alpilles Rouge

2020 Domaine de Trévallon Alpilles Rouge...$78.99

(we are the lowest price on Wine-Searcher for this classic)

Food pairings : It will go perfectly with lamb, beef...

Domaine Trevallon - one of the classics!
Since its inception, Domaine de Trévallon has been a trailblazer for quality wine production in the South of France. In 1993 local authorities changed the regulations for grape production in the appellation of Les Beaux de Provence, lowering the permitted percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon to 20%. Domaine de Trévallon’s red is always a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. Refusing to change his style, Eloi opted to produce his wine as a Vin de Pays (Vin de Pays des Bouches du Rhône). By doing so Domaine de Trévallon, like todays “super-Tuscans”, was among the first wineries to choose to go outside local appellation rules to produce higher quality wines.

Above all, Eloi produces “natural wines” with as little human intervention as possible. He avoids excess use of technology which he believes leads to standardized, uniform wines. Eloi uses no pesticides or chemicals in the vineyards and he keeps yields below 25 hectoliters per hectare. In the winery the grapes are not de-stemmed, and only natural indigenous yeasts are used. The reds are aged in large oak foudres for 2 years , are non-filtered, and are only occasionally fined with egg whites before bottling. The reds from Trévallon are always 50% Cabernet Sauvignon & 50% Syrah.

Her early years on the family boats, F/V Whidby and F/V Rebel Isle, harvesting wild salmon, halibut, and shrimp, have shaped her passion for the sea and its bounty. Wheelhouse Fish Co., rooted in Shalie's childhood experiences and the unique Alaskan fishing culture, now serves the community of St. Louis.

Sockeye Salmon Fillets and Halibut Portions. Rockfish and a Jumbo Spot Prawn Tray. Mixed Spot Prawns and Hot Smoked Salmon Strips. Frequently Asked Questions   What makes Wheelhouse Fish Co. unique? Shalie was raised working on her family's commercial fishing boats, the F/V Whidby and the F/V Rebel Isle, harvesting wild salmon, halibut, and shrimp on the coastal waters of Southeast Alaska. Wheelhouse Fish Co. is inspired by her upbringing and the unique lifestyle of Alaskan fishermen and families. Why is this fish better than what I can find at my typical fish market? Wild seafood is harvested in a manner that promotes the long-term health and stability of ocean ecosystems. Responsible fishing practices focus on maintaining fish populations, minimizing bycatch, and preserving marine habitats, helping to safeguard the delicate balance of marine life. Many coastal communities throughout Alaska have relied on wild seafood as a significant part of their cultural and traditional heritage for generations. By choosing wild seafood, you support these communities and their way of life. Isn't fresh fish better than frozen? At the end of the day, “fresh” fish at the grocery store may not always be as fresh as you think. The reality is, unless you live on the coast or near a fishing port, you’re likely not eating truly fresh fish (meaning fish that has never been frozen).  Wheelhouse Fish Co. products are flash frozen, which preserves its flavor and texture. All of this is locked in until the moment you’re ready to thaw and prepare it! How should I defrost my catch? Thaw frozen seafood in the fridge overnight or in a plastic bag under cool running water – never in warm water or at room temperature.
