Laws Whiskey House Artale Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon
$79.99
Our latest single barrel store pick is in!
We have been huge fans of Laws Whiskey House in Denver for some time now and are elated with the opportunity to have selected a single barrel of their Four Grain Bourbon.
Bottled cask strength at a notch over 112 proof, this wheated bourbon is 60% corn, 20% wheat, 10% rye, and 10% malted barley. Laws exclusively uses heirloom varietal grains for their whiskey, sourced between two family-owned Colorado farms: the Cody’s in the San Luis Valley and the Ohnmacht’s out on Colorado’s eastern plains.
This barrel is an exceptional singular representation of their Four Grain Straight Bourbon that showcases notes of orange peel, black tea, honey, cinnamon, sherry, malted chocolate balls, pressed apples, and leather.
We can't wait for you to try it!

Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Chardonnay $15.99 reg. $19.99
The alluring color of honeysuckle, this wine features scents of creamy citrus, calling to mind the meringue on top of lemon squares. The freshness of the nose evokes a walk through the vineyard or the minerality of wet granite encountered on a hike. Entry on the palate is round and soft, infused with flavors of apricot, Meyer lemon, and the crispness of the first peaches of the season. Initial broadness on the palate tapers into bright acidity on the finish, a lingering invitation to take another sip.
Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc $19.99 reg. $22.99
A translucent yellow hue, this wine features clean, bright scents of wet stone and citrus blossom, with subtle notes of nectarine, newly ripened honeydew, tangerine, and a hint of guava. Entry on the palate is lean, then expands with flavors of lime zest and mouthwatering citrus. A racy acidity adds to this wine's enlivening freshness, while a steely graphite character imparts a final impression of distinct mineralogy.
Conundrum California White Wine $16.99 reg. $19.99
A light straw color, the 2019 vintage features scents of honeysuckle, wildflowers and lemon blossoms, layered with star fruit, honeydew and a trace of flinty gunpowder. Entry is crisp, with a vibrant acidity that flows into a rich roundness on the mid-palate. Citrus and pear mingle with exotic flavors of mango, coconut, and pineapple. This wine’s structure and texture give it multiple dimensions – lush yet fresh, subtle yet rich. A kick of bright acidity on the finish underscores its lively character, while notes of ripe fruit entice you back for another sip.
Conundrum California Red Wine $22.99 reg. $25.99
We believe in being both serious and playful, and this wine fits the bill. A rich, dark red, it offers aromas of ripe berries and plums, warmed by a hint of cocoa. Dried fruit and the taste of chocolate-covered cherries come through on the palate, while a wisp of smokiness makes this wine – created from dark red varietals including Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon – the perfect complement to grilled meats and full-flavored dishes. Tannins are rounded out by the ripeness of the berries for a texturous but smooth mouth feel. The finish makes us think of lingering at the end of a long evening and still not wanting to go home, with layers of rich flavor that teasingly trail off.
Caymus Suisun The Walking Fool Red $42.99 reg. $47.99
A silky scarlet red with luminous highlights, this wine opens with a lean earthiness—the scent of rustic wood mixes with sweet spice, a whiff of cigar box, dusty pavement and old leather, infused with garden ripe strawberries and cherries. The palate is smooth and lively, featuring flavors of juicy raspberry, the subtle tartness of cranberry, and notes of espresso and smoked meat. Underlying acidity makes this wine mouthwatering, while its tannins lend a gritty yet softly fine texture. On the finish: a trace of vibrant cranberry, luxurious cocoa and an extra kick of spice.

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.

Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough
New Zealand
2021
$17.99 reg. $19.99
92 Points Wine Spectator
An intensely aromatic nose – this is a delicious confluence of ripe citrus, tropical fruit and a hint of something savory. The fruit spectrum is complex and while overwhelmingly "Sauvignon Blanc", the addition of delicate oak adds another dimension. The striking palate immediately fills the mouth and finds a crisp finish to a long and balanced interplay of fruit and acidity. Delicate white wine tannins provide the framework and, combined with an approachable acidity, focuses the palate toward a long and elegant finish.

A delightful fusion of ripe summer fruit and delicate floral perfume – Golden Queen peaches and poached yellow pears; baked apples, mango and rock melon; mingled with apple blossom fragrance and a twist of lemon sherbet. Succulent and crisp, with a delicate fennel-like herbal quality and a dry, textural palate. Quintessentially Marlborough, but a deliciously subtle, ripe interpretation of the classic style.

A bouquet of dark, berried, inky fruit with plenty of sawdusty/smoky oak. Vibrant flavors of fresh blackcurrant and cassis are complemented by bay leaf and toasted oak on the palate. The tannins are well-integrated and fine-grained. This is a complete and harmonious wine with great persistence of flavor. Bright and delicious, speaking of contemporary Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Ready to drink now or for enjoying the rewards of cellaring for the next 5-7 years.

New Beer Spotlight:
Tynt Meadow
|
|
England's Only Trappist Brewery
One of 10 brewing Trappist monasteries in the world, Tynt Meadow is the only Trappist brewery in England.
In 2013 the monks of the Saint Bernard Abbey realized farming was no longer viable due to modern mechanized farming and low dairy prices. After research on other monastic communities, building of the brewery began in 2018. Records show that beer was brewed at the abbey before 1900. Although the historic recipe has been lost, current Tynt Meadow is just as delicious and satisfying.
All the work, from brewing to bottling and packaging, is done by the monks. Cistercians esteem the value of simplicity. Simplicity doesn’t stand for a thing done simply, or cheaply, but rather represents a distillation of complexity. It is about processing and ordering a rich, varied reality in such a way that the result seems self-evident: ‘This is how it has to be!’
Tasting Notes:
Tynt Meadow is mahogany-colored, with a subtle, warm red hue, and a lasting beige head. Its aroma carries hints of dark chocolate, liquorice, and rich fruit flavors. The beer is full-bodied, gently balancing the taste of dark chocolate, pepper, and fig. It leaves a warm and dry finish on the palate.
