1btl Artale Store Pick Jeppson's Bourbon
We jumped at the chance to pick a barrel of Jeppson's bourbon from our friends at CH Distilling in Chicago. CH purchased the Carl Jeppson's Company in 2018 and shortly after released the Jeppson's bourbon label. Sourcing their bourbons from Tennessee and Indiana, Jeppson's Bourbon has quickly gained a respected following in the whiskey community.  

After one of our toughest tasting sessions to date, we landed on two barrels that we all really loved. We chose this 6-year Straight bourbon distilled by Midwest Grain Products in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, for its balance of bold assertive flavor and elegant palate texture. On the nose, the drinker is greeted with the classic baking spice and warm oak that the MGP 21% high rye mash bill is world renowned for. The first sip is waves of vanilla custard and caramel that is backed by rye spice, light cherry, and fig. What really sets this barrel apart from others is the exceptional oily feel and viscosity, it's like drinking dessert in a glass. Weighing in at 58.1% abv, this uncut and unfiltered bourbon has the dynamic character to appease the most discerning palate while also showcasing pleasing drinkability that anyone can enjoy.

1btl Carpano Antica Vermouth
Carpano's Antica Formula, from the original recipe developed by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in 1786, is a sweet vermouth of the highest quality. This distinctive and powerful aromatized wine should be considered a standard component in any respectable bar. It can be served chilled as an aperitivo, a digestivo or a welcome addition to your favorite cocktail.

1btl Angostura Bitters
Angostura Aromatic Bitters is a highly concentrated food and beverage flavoring essential to an untold number of classic cocktails. Made from a secret formula, it is a unique and highly secret blend of more than 40 spices and botanicals.
That “secret” was developed in 1824 by Dr. J.G.B. Siegert, the surgeon general in Simon Bolivar’s army in Angostura, Venezuela. He used his aromatic bitters as a medical elixir to improve appetite and digestive well-being of his soldiers. In time, the bitters were adopted by the 19th century American bartending community to add complexity to cocktail

1 Jar Luxardo Cherries
These are candied cherries soaked in Luxardo marasca cherry syrup. The percentage of marasca cherries in jars and tins is about 50% and so is the percentage of syrup. No thickening agents of any type and no preservatives are used and the dark red color is all natural. Their unique taste comes from the marasca cherry syrup which is made starting from the same juice used to prepare the infusion for the Cherry Liqueur “Sangue Morlacco”. A cutting edge system of pasteurization guarantees the maximum level of preservation and safety. Luxardo Original Maraschino Cherries accurate candying process confers to the fruit a crispiness which is rare to find amongst competing brands. Today, like in the golden age of cocktails, Luxardo Original Maraschino Cherries are used in the worlds’ best bars and by the most famous mixologists as a garnish in their creations. The syrup itself may be used in many cocktails as a flavored sugar. They are also ideal over ice cream.

3 Wines Hand-Selected by Anthony, Aaron, and Zac
as their favorite $20 Bottle
Guess who picked what wine!

1btl Babylonstoren Shiraz 2018
Deep ruby red color Bouquet: Fruit driven, cool cassis and pencil shavings on the nose with aromatic layers of spiciness and black pepper. Taste: Finely crafted to portray layers of cherry, soft prune, blackcurrant and hints of spice. Elegant, velvety mouth-feel and long, lingering finish.

1btl Carol Shelton Wild Thing Zinfandel 2018
Old Vine Mendocino Zinfandel is a treasure. Grown on the benchlands and slopes of mountainsides — this 60 plus year old vine Zinfandel was named for these wild- looking vines and also for the uninoculated, or “wild,” yeast ferment that was used to create it. It takes a lot of effort to tame this wild fruit, but it is worth all the trouble. Wild Thing is dangerously good! Remember – you are what you drink
Aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and raspberry fruit combine with a hint of cigar box, and vanilla-oak baking spice loveliness. Smoothly textured in mouth, and the palate is very creamy and round, with a finish that is long with lush jammy fruit.

1btl Tenuta Delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso 2020
This medium-bodied red is creamy and finely balanced overall, though a firm core of tannins structures the flavors of crushed raspberry, cherry and tangy mineral, with hints of dried marjoram and woodsy spice. Fresh and lovely. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio.
Blend: 95% Nerello Mascalese, 5% Nerello Cappuccio

WINE OF THE WEEK
Argiolas
Costera
Cannonau de Sardegna
2020
$15.99
reg. $16.99

World's Healthiest Wine

Costera shows the typicity of the Cannonau grape with flavors of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs, and spices. The warmth and intense sunlight of southern Sardinia can be seen and felt in the wine with unexpectedly deep color and fullness on the palate. French oak barriques provide rounded tannins and flavors of vanilla.
