DISTILLERY OF THE WEEK:
LEOPOLD BROS
|
|
Leopold Bros
Denver, Colorado
In the mid-2000s, Todd and Scott relocated Leopold Bros. operations from Michigan to their home state of Colorado to focus solely on distilling. They opened shop in a small, rented, workspace in an industrial neighborhood in northeast Denver.
Several years later, Todd and Scott purchased four acres of nearby land to build out their ideal distillery, including systems to create a zero-waste facility by recycling water, composting, and other methods. In addition a larger space to accommodate all their fermenters and stills, the site would also be home to Colorado's first distillery malting floor and kiln, as well as a dunnage-style barrelhouse, a tasting room, and education center. The Leopold Bros. distillery as it stands today opened in 2014.
Leopold Bros Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon
SALE $64.99 Reg. $69.99
Open fermentation in wooden tanks with both house-cultured and indigenous yeast strains. Pot distilled and unfiltered. Aged five years in new American white oak charred barrels on earthen floors in the distillery's unheated dunnage-style bonded warehouse. Mash bill comprised of 64% Corn, 21% Malted Barley, 15% Abruzzi Heritage Rye.
Leopold Bros Three Chamber Bottled-in-Bond
Rye Whiskey
SALE $189.99 Reg. $209.99
For over a hundred years, American rye whiskey was commonly produced in what was called a Three Chamber Still to extract not only distillate, but also oils and aromas hidden in the grains. The resulting spirit was marketed as “heavy-bodied” whiskey, but production stopped just after World War II and the still in which it was made became a lost American tradition.
Leopold Bros. painstakingly re-engineered a Three Chamber Still from old manuscripts and grew the heritage grain Abruzzi rye that was favored by Pre-Prohibition distillers to resurrect this one-of-a-kind whiskey. We hope you enjoy this rebirth of an American classic as much as we enjoyed making it.

Col d'Orcia
Rosso
di Montalcino
2016
$21.99
reg.$29.99
The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino offers simple lines with good fruit intensity. The bouquet is redolent of wild cherry, red currant and mild spice or aniseed. Made according to simple winemaking techniques, this wine relies fully on the quality of the excellent fruit in 2016 to produce these lovely but easy-drinking results. 90 Points Robert Parker.

VALDICAVA BRUNELLO
PRE-BUY
|
|
2017 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino: Intense aromas of flowers and dark cherries. Perfumed and bright for the vintage. Full-bodied and firm with chewy yet polished tannins and a succulent and fruity finish that is in line and framed. Give it two or three years to soften. Try after 2023. 95 Points – James Suckling
2016 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino Madonna del Piano Riserva: This is heavenly on the nose with fresh flowers such as violet and cherries with undertones of freshly shaved sandalwood. It’s full-bodied with very fine tannins that are focused and intense with a polished nature. This is a complete wine that impresses at every level. Give it at least five to six years to come together and resolve the tannin structure. Better after 2027.
99 Points – James Suckling
Vincenzo Abbruzzese has been one of Montalcino’s most consistent producers over the last few years, an impression that was reinforced during my visit earlier this year. I tasted every wine in cask, and they were all terrific. I also had a chance to revisit the 1988 and 1990 Madonna del Pianos, both of which have aged beautifully in bottle. Readers who want to learn more about the estate and their wines will want to check out my video interview with Vincenzo Abbruzzese on www.erobertparker.com

UNDER $25

Hartford Court
Russian River Valley
Chardonnay
2019
$24.99 reg. $27.99
The 2019 Chardonnay Russian River Valley was 100% barrel fermented in French oak barrels, 26% new, and aged for 9.5 months. It slips slowly, cautiously out of the glass with crushed rocks and sea spray scents over a core of green and yellow apples and Bosc pears plus a hint of marzipan. Medium-bodied, the palate bursts with apple and pear flavors with a racy backbone and savory finish.
91 Points Robert Parker
Copain
Tous Ensemble
Sonoma Coast
Chardonnay
2017
$23.99 reg. $28.99
On the nose hints of hazelnut, lemon curd, white peach, and pie crust. On the palate, light to medium weight with layers of green apple, citrus, quinine, and a slight creaminess woven together. Incredible length and tension make this wine refreshing, bright, and delicious.
91 Points Wine Spectator

Chardonnay
2019
$14.99 reg. $17.99
Pale straw-lemon in color, the wine has delicate aromas of green apples and tree fruits complementing undertones of peaches, wildflowers, and a hint of freshly cut grass.

Moor's Brewing
Session Ale
American Golden Ale | 5% abv
$12.99
4pk 16oz can
Brewer's Notes:
Moor’s Session Ale packs a light but flavorful balance of green papaya and a hint of key lime with a smooth lemongrass finish.
About Moor's:
Chicago's black-owned beer. Our history exudes quality and excellence. Our presence is powerful. Welcome to Moor's.
In 711 A.D., Tariq ibn Ziyad led Moors of Berber descent across the Strait of Gibraltar between Africa and Europe - conquering Spain for the next 700 years. They introduced new scientific techniques to the European culture, including a distillation and fermentation process that produced what they called al-kuhl. This beer pays homage to the rich untold history of our African ancestry and the "original craftsmen" that made it happen.
