Winexpert continues to raise the bar each year with its Limited Edition program and LE16 is no different. This year, in addition to sought after varietals and unique blends, Winexpert is thrilled to offer a very distinctive wine - Blanc de Noir - an elusive white wine that is made from red grapes. Done in an off-dry style, this is the must have wine of the year.
 



Milagro from Valencia, Spain  (February 2017)


 
For those not familiar with the program - Each year Winexpert produces only a limited quantity of five fabulous and unique varieties from around the world and releases them monthly from January through April. These very special wines are only available during their month of release, while supplies last.

Winter Beer
2016 Winter Seasonal
Bourbon Barrel Brown Ale
This year's Winter Ale is an American Brown ale with hints of caramel and toasted malt balanced perfectly with a touch of East Kent Goldings.  Then we thought "Why stop there?!?  Why not crank it up with a little American Oak?".  Naturally, these things spiral out-of-control and we started thinking of American Oak with American Bourbon.  Well, anyone can just go out and buy a bottle of bourbon, but let's face it, we're homebrewers, we wanted to make it a DIY project.  So, we asked our friends at Missouri Ridge Distillery to help us craft this custom, small batch bourbon especially for this project.  Then we soaked lightly toasted American oak chips in our magical liquor and this years Winter Ale was born!
With this new beer kit you will get all the ingredients for the Brown Ale along with a bag of bourbon soaked oak chips.  You'll know the oak is special the second you open the bag! Brew the beer, toss the oak chips in the fermenter for a week or two, let it age for as long as you can stand it, then enjoy your hand crafted Bourbon Barrel Brown Ale from your friends at the Home Brewery and Missouri Ridge Distillery!
