Tormaresca Chardonnay IGT

Country: Italy

Region: Puglia

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Aging: Three months in steel on the fine lees, then aging in bottle.

Alcohol: 13%

Winery notes: Viticulture in Apulia is history and at the same time innovation. The Tormaresca estate is the expression of these two spirits. Character, personality and the potential for high quality are the characteristics that the Apulian territory imparts to all varieties grown here, indigenous or not.

Tasting notes: An Antinori family project, Tormaresca Chardonnay is straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, dominant notes of white pulp fruit, apples, and pineapples are well balanced by citrusy sensations of orange blossoms and jasmine. Its fragrant palate is savory with a soft entry and balanced freshness.

Pairing: Pairs well with sushi and shellfish, like langoustines, clams, oysters and mussels. It is also ideal with flaky white fish. Grilled chicken and vegetable salad. Charcuterie board - olives, different cured meats & cheeses. Pairs beautifully with mild, semi-soft cheeses like a gouda or a mild blue.

Our Price: $13.00

Mas Donis Old Vines

Country: Spain

Region: Montsant

Grapes: 85% Garnacha and 15% Syrah

Aging: 14 months in new French oak

Alcohol: 14.3%

Winemakers notes: Our Merlot is soft and inviting with balanced flavors of blueberry, raspberry, and milk chocolate and scents of fragrant violets and vanilla.

Tasting notes: Josh Cellars Merlot is a dry red wine from California. It is flavorful and well-balanced, fruit-forward, displaying lots of raspberry and blackberry flavors along with chocolate notes, bright cherry and plum flavors. Firm on the palate with velvety tannins. The vivid acidity refreshes and rounds the mouthfeel.

Pairing: This wine brings out the best of rich, bold flavors, so we love serving it with soft cheeses or meat-based pasta dishes, pizza, barbecue ribs and charcuterie boards.

Our Price: $15.00

Regimental American Whiskey

American Made | Veteran Owned

Regimental Spirits Company was born on the abandoned rooftop of the Ba’ath Party Headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq in 2007. There, two thirsty US Infantrymen shared a cigar, a conversation and a dream about creating a quality brand of whiskey that would represent the greatest men and women of their country—those who serve in the United States Military.

A vision of toasting to a shared love and loyalty, yet comprised of unique experiences, branches and communities. A toast to the Regiment.

Our founders are dedicated to creating “American-Made” spirits that embody the same core values of all our military branches—duty, honor, respect, loyalty, courage, integrity and selfless service.

So relax, pour a glass, put your feet up and start a conversation.

Welcome to the Regiment!

Our Price: $26.00
