Bodega Navarrsotillo 'La Marciana' Rioja Garnacha 2019

For Moms Who Slay:

Bodega Navarrsotillo 'La Marciana' Rioja Garnacha 2019

If Tempranillo is king in Spain, then Garnacha is its beautiful and resilient queen, having survived phylloxera, floods, and even drought. It shines in this single vineyard offering from Rioja. Stylistically, this wine is more like Burgundy, jewel-toned and light on its feet, with intense hints of ripe berries and spice that linger sip after sip. Complex from start to finish, this wine’s depth and character are rivaled only by its aging potential. Drink now with a celebratory meal, or gift and savor for up to 5 years.

For Dads New and Old:

Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz 2018

Kaesler Old Bastard is one of Australia’s most highly regarded Shiraz wines. It is consistently rated as one of the Barossa’s benchmark Shiraz wines and is highly sought after by wine collectors around the world. This bold red wine has gorgeous notes of black fruit, oak, and a hint of anise and black pepper. 

Bodega de Forlong Amigo Imaginario 2021

For Sisters Who Are More Like Friends:

Bodega de Forlong Amigo Imaginario 2021

This is an unbelievably unique, gastronomic wine. The vivacity of a crisp white wine, but crystalline amber in color, and filled with tropical fruit and cocoa dusted hazelnuts. There is the succulence of dried apricots and the hint of cocoa you love in your Generoso, but with a poise and precision that makes it a delight to share with friends.

For Brothers Who Have Your Back:

Aslina Umsasane Red Blend 2021

Crafted from sustainably farmed Cabernet Sauvignon, with a supporting blend of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this bold and lush red blend offers a seamless blend of fruit, earth, and spice. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, herbs de Provence, and spiced apricot jam mingle with a medley of red and black fruit, green pepper, clove, smoke, hazelnut, and tobacco in the glass. With a long and smooth finish, this wine is delicious now as well as remarkably ageworthy.

Punset Barbaresco Riserva 2007

For The Hard-to-Impress In-Laws:

Punset Barbaresco Riserva 2007

This critically acclaimed Nebbiolo from Marina Marcarino, one of Barbaresco's first women winemakers, and the first to farm biodynamically, is luxuriously complex and elegant. A mature nose of truffle, black cherry, blackberry and woodsy spice aromas and flavors open the wine, and wash across the palate with hints of chocolate, dried roses, herbs, and leather. At nearly 18 years old, this is a beautiful wine at its peak deliciousness. 

For The Bougie Bestie:

Ferdinando Principiano Langhe Freisa 2021

Freisa, a relative to Nebbiolo, is known for its lush strawberry and raspberry aromas and freshness. This entry, from Piemontese cult fave Ferdinando Principiano, is romantic and elegant, with seductive complexity, freshness, and a fascinating texture. Organically farmed, this is a lovely wine to drink now with a light chill, but it can also age magnificently.

The ingenious combination of the Pivot Stopper and Device preserves the remaining bottle for up to 4 weeks, ensuring the last glass is just as amazing as the first.

For The One You Love:

Stolpman Vineyards Love You Bunches Red 2022

Bursting with energy, this Sangiovese is a far cry from the more rustic Chianti Classico. Cheekily light-hearted and meant to drink chilled, the grapes for this wine are fermented whole and gently pressed. In fact, the name "Love You Bunches" is a reference to this process. Aged in barrel for 30 months and in bottle for 6 months, the wine is irresistibly bright and zippy, leaning closer to a rose than a red in character, with notes of crunchy red berries, ruby grapefruit, and tangerine flowers backed by flexible, food-friendly tannins.

Quinta do Popa Contos da Terra Douro Red 2022

For Someone In Your Coven:

Quinta do Popa Contos da Terra Douro Red 2022

This juicy red blend from Douro is filled with ripe black berries, cocoa-dusted red berries, pink and purple floral notes, and hints of softly tilled earth. Bright and bold yet light, this is a fantastic wine for everything from casual dinner parties to cozy movie nights on the sofa.

For The Year-Round Rose Drinker:

Tiberio Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Rosato 2023

Made from 100% organic Montepulciano, this rose from Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is a bright pink with red highlights in the glass. It delivers fresh aromas of red cherry, pomegranate, and small red berries, which follow through on the palate. Balanced with a bright, crisp, and clean floral finish, this wine pairs fantastically with roasted chicken, red sauce, and fried fare.

B. Stuyvesant Champagne Blanc de Blancs NV

For The Ones Who Only Drink Bubbly:

B. Stuyvesant Champagne Blanc de Blancs NV

Made up of 100% Chardonnay, this bubbly is a blend of 2-3 different harvests, which is then cellar aged for 24 months. In the glass, the wine is pale golden in color with green highlights. Elegant white flowers, fresh hazelnut, and fruit tantalize the nose, while the palate is plush and fresh. 

For The Cocktail Afficianado:

Bordiga St. Hubertus Amaro

Made from an ancient recipe, this intense but balanced amaro has been refined over the years with infusions and distillates produced with precious spices, herbs and flowers coming mostly from the Maritime Alps. Even today, these characteristic ingredients are hand-picked, dried and preserved with completely natural methods by the local mountaineers. Fantastic for amaro lovers, this complex amaro is slightly minty with herbal notes to complement it. 

Forthave Spirits Brown Coffee Liqueur

For The Espresso Martini Fanatic:

Forthave Spirits Brown Coffee Liqueur

Brown is a coffee liqueur made in collaboration with Café Integral. It is made with a single-origin coffee bean – pacamará ambar – grown by Don Sergio Ortez in Nicaragua and roasted in Brooklyn. It is a combination of a cold brew extraction and a ground bean maceration. Serve neat after dinner or mix into espresso martinis and other cocktails. 

For The Whiskey Lover:

Fort Hamilton Distillery Single Barrel Rye Whiskey

This is the flagship offering from Brooklyn’s Fort Hamilton Distillery, produced from a mash of 90% New York Rye and 10% malted barley -- a nod to the traditional mash bill seeded in the years prior to the American Revolution, when New York was the epicenter for whiskey production in the nascent United States. Aged for at least three years in American white oak, each barrel is individually bottled in Brooklyn at 90 proof. The finished whiskey offers bright notes of caramel, cherry, juniper berry, spearmint, lemon zest, and white pepper.
