NEW DISTILLERY FEATURE:
NEW RIFF

New Riff Distilling
Newport, Kentucky
Founded in 2014 by Ken Lewis, a visionary Kentucky liquor retailer and entrepreneur, New Riff is led by a team of corporate refugees ranging from craft beer to politics and more. New Riff crafts a range of whiskeys—Bourbon, Rye, and eventually Malted Rye. Our mission is simple: to someday be counted among the world’s great small distilleries. Becoming one of the great small distilleries of the world is a long term play, with no exact ring to win, or title to be declared.
We are independently owned by one family, and that independence, the freedom from outside pressures and interests has allowed us to make an unforeseen declaration for quality: for perhaps the first time since the inception of the Bottled in Bond Act in 1897, a Kentucky sour mash whiskey distillery has committed itself exclusively to that quality standard, the world’s highest. And we proudly lift that bar even higher by bottling without chill filtration. We stand behind this combination of classic American entrepreneurship and ingenuity; passion and knowledge born from one of the world’s great spirit regions; and a talented team individually committed to doing things the right way.
New Riff Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon
SALE $42.99 Reg. $47.99
New Riff Distilling’s core Bourbon expression is a genuinely high-rye, full bodied whiskey offering savory, spicy character. Building upon America’s 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act—already the highest quality standard for aged spirits in the world—New Riff Bourbon is Bottled In Bond Without Chill Filtration. Featuring a mash bill of non-GMO grains at 65% corn,30% rye, and 5% malted barley, it represents a new riff on Kentucky’s most hallowed whiskey traditions. Aged four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, there are no shortcuts taken in our production. All New Riff whiskeys are made with the full sour mash Kentucky Regimen; all carry an age statement, and are always bottled without chill filtration.
New Riff Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon
SALE $54.99 Reg. $59.99
At New Riff, single barrel expressions are a way of life. As former Kentucky liquor retailers, we are intimately familiar with some of Kentucky’s most famed private barrel Bourbon selections ever, and we bring that experience to New Riff. Whether for trade or private clients, a New Riff Private Barrel selection offers an unparalleled experience, replete with tasting notes and an immersive process in our warehouse. Each New Riff single barrel has been tasted and approved by our production panel. Our retail and on-premise partners then select each of their private barrels themselves. So, in the end, you can taste a New Riff Single Barrel knowing it was fully vetted and thoroughly tasted and approved.
New Riff Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
SALE $59.99 Reg. $64.99
New Riff Distilling's Single Barrel Rye expression is a full bodied whiskey offering vibrant, spicy character. Bottled at Barrel Proof Without Chill Filtration, and featuring a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted rye, this 100% rye whiskey represents a new riff on one of the most influential of modern whiskey traditions. Aged four years in 53-gallon toasted and charred new oak barrels, there are no shortcuts taken in our production. All New Riff whiskeys are made with the full sour mash Kentucky Regimen; all carry an age statement, and are always bottled without chill filtration.

Sansonina
Evaluna
Cabernet Sauvignon &
Cabernet Franc
2019
$17.99
reg. $19.99
Silty/morainic soils with the presence of clay are well-suited soils for Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Sandy soil elevates aromatics and creates softer wines, showing less tannin. The presence of clay allows a balancing act to sand, offering higher extract and color. Vinifying in stainless allows for the fresh red fruits to emerge together with peppery characteristics of the Cabernet duo.
The fresh profile and moderate tannins offer immediate drinkability. With food, reach for a porchetta sandwich, roasted chicken or game birds such as quail. Hard cheeses with age are an ideal exploration with the wine.
A FASCINATING PROJECT THT BRINGS TOGETHER HISTORY, LEGEND AND REALITY.
"…Samson, the judge called upon by God to overthrow the enemies of Israel, a man with superhuman strength: a vigorous, virile hero whose long hair – a classic female attribute – was the source of his strength.
Sansonina, the name given to the impressive 18th-century Cascina near Sirmione, derives from Samson. It seemingly belonged to a woman who owned the estate centuries ago and was nicknamed “Little Samson” for her strong character. Sansonina, the wine that also bears this name, has the dual masculine/feminine character suggested by the
estate’s history. Sansonina comes from the production zone of Lugana, one of most famous white wines produced in Veneto, Lombardy, and by definition a feminine wine. Uniquely in this territory Sansonina possesses an old vineyard planted to Merlot, a variety famous as the base of some of the world’s best reds.
In the mid-1990s, Carla Prospero acquired Sansonina with the specific idea of taking on a challenge and overcoming prejudices: her aim was to create a great red in a zone traditionally known for its whites and to show that a woman is more than capable of producing a structured red wine." Carla Prospero

Unlikely Orgins
"Cabernet Sauvignon means “wild Cabernet” and the grape originated in the Aquitaine Department of France (includes Bordeaux).
In 1997, researchers at UC Davis (Carole Meredith and John Bowers) shocked the world. They discovered Cabernet Sauvignon was a child of Sauvignon Blanc (and Cabernet Franc).
It’s true that Sauvignon Blanc leaves look very similar to Cabernet Sauvignon vines. That said, no one ever thought that a white grape could parent such a world class red. Who woulda thunk!" Wine Folly

Aviary Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon
California
2020
$14.99
Aviary California Cabernet Sauvignon is developed to offer the classic big, rich, dark fruit Cabernet attributes, while also displaying velvety smooth tannin structure, tempered by consistent selection of oak. On the nose you will find generous blueberry fruit with a touch of crushed earth. The mid-pallet continues with dark fruit expressions of cassis, some red fruit in the form of subtle strawberry preserves, and just a touch of bright menthol or eucalyptus.
Achaval Ferrer
Cabernet Sauvignon
Mendoza - Argentina
2016
$17.99 reg. $23.99
Bright, medium ruby in color with vibrant, strong aromas of blackberry, violet, dark raspberry, and crushed stone. Very concentrated with notable graphite and cured tobacco notes. Well-built with fine tannins leading to a perfumed, silky finish. Low yields, careful vineyard management, and low intervention winemaking are the hallmarks of this and all other Achával-Ferrer wines.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley - California
2019
$47.99 reg. $52.99
A seamless assortment of classic Napa Cabernet aromas exude from the glass—cassis, black cherries, chaparral, and a touch of intriguing butterscotch. On the palate, the wine is tastefully expressive with ripe raspberry, crème caramel, bay leaf, and two types of currants—red and black. Carrying its own weight through the finish, the wine’s prominent tannins will soften over time
La Jota
Howell Mountain
Cabernet sauvignon
Napa Valley - California
2016
$137.99 reg. $157.99
94 Points Wine Spectator
On the palate, the 2016 La Jota Cabernet Sauvignon has blackberry, rosemary, subtle Asian spice, and a hint of Petit Verdot that rounds out the flavors. With a great mid palate weight and earthy tannic structure, there is no doubt you are drinking a Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.

New Image Brewing
Coriolis Effect
Hazy NZ Style IPA
$11.99
4pk 16oz can
Brewer's Notes:
Pairing up New Zealand's Motueka hop with Citra, we brought together their blend of melon, tropical, and stonefruits and added a dry hop of Columbus to bring those voluptuous flavors to the surface. Sweet on the first sip while finishing dry, this beer brings an understated elegance to the standard IPA.

Alesmith Clasico Mexican Lager
$10.99 | 6pk 12oz can
Clásico pays homage to our Southern California home where we chill at the beach, crush tacos, and drink classic Mexican brews. Made with the finest quality German and Vienna malts, this crisp, easy-drinking beer has a subtle hop aroma, a hint of corn tortillas, and a refreshing finish. ¡Salud!
The Bruery Or Xata Golden Ale
$14.99 | 4pk 16oz can
Blonde ale with rice, milk sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla
Horchata is a traditional, sweet, milky drink originating in Spain and Latin America that has become quite popular in Southern California, particularly with Mexican cuisine. Our homage to the traditionally non-alcoholic drink is a blonde ale brewed with a heavy dosing of rice, cinnamon, and vanilla, along with lactose for a little extra creamy character. These ingredients meld together to create a taste and experience that hints at horchata, but it's much more than that. The flavor is hard to describe, but for those who know it, you know you love it.
MoRE Chula Mango Gose
$16.99 | 4pk 16oz can
You can look all year long, but you won't find a beer that turns up the heat quite like Chula. Inspired by mangonadas, the original summer refresher, this fruited Gose is brewed with Mango and a Big Mich Chile Spice Blend sourced by our friends Feast City exclusively for this release.
