For The Ones Who Only Drink Bubbly:
Champagne Drappier Brut Nature NV
Pinot Noir has found the perfect home in this regal, elegant Champagne from Michel Drappier. Made with zero dosage, or added sugar, and the legal minimum of sulfates, the wine is ripe and expressive, with notes of apple and cherry blossoms, young peaches, subtle herbs, and a hint of spice.
For The Annoyingly Lovable Sibling:
Jan Matthias Klein Little Bastard White 2022
This fascinating blend is extraordinary, organic, and as fun to look at as it is to enjoy. Light on its feet, delicious, and aromatic, with notes of citrus, and an eye-catching label featuring a "big bad wolf," this wine is incredibly crushable.
For The Bougie Bestie:
Col di Lamo Brunello di Montalcino 2018
Inheriting her father’s love of wine, Giovanna Neri produces this delicious Brunello di Montalcino, which contains all the grace that Brunello is known for -- lush, decadent notes of blackberry, morello cherry, leather, tilled earth, and tobacco.
For The Cocktail Aficionado:
Selvagrossa Gioacchino Vermouth Rosso
This vermouth is something special! A blend of Trebbiano and Sangiovese, it is herbaceous and pleasantly bitter, with notes of bitter orange peel, elderflower, and pine, with a touch of sweetness on the palate. It’s fantastic on its own, as an after-dinner drink, as a spritz, or in cocktails.
A Reminder Of Who Loves Dad Most:
Cambrian Rock First Born Heathcote Shiraz 2020
A limited edition Shiraz dedicated to the first born children of the founders, this wine boasts aromas of cassis and blackberry. The palate is full-bodied yet refined with perfect integration of French oak and decadent notes of dark fruits, tobacco, and mocha.
For Moms Who Slay:
Domaine des Florets Synchronicite Gigondas 2020
This Gigondas is named for the conjunction of different, perfectly synchronized events, or coincidences. Synchronicity is also the symbol of the perfect meeting of plants, minerals and humans, reflected in this charming, medium-bodied Gigondas, made with biodynamically grown Grenache. Soft, yet bold, this wine displays notes of cherry, strawberry, dark chocolate, toasted baking spice, and minerality.
For The Espresso Martini Lover:
Kings County Distillery Coffee Whiskey 200ml
Kings County’s all new Coffee Whiskey is crafted from a blend of Kings County’s finest whiskies and Parlor Coffee’s exceptional ready-to-drink Cold Brew. The lively tropical and creamy chocolate undertones of the Cold Brew marry perfectly with the balanced sweetness and rich complexity of their bourbon and corn whiskey.
For Someone In Your Coven:
Jolie Laide Glou d'Etat Red 2022
The name Jolie-Laide translates loosely to “pretty ugly,” a French term of endearment to describe something that is unconventionally beautiful. Case in point, this organic, chillable, red blend that displays crunchy red fruit, savory herbs, soft, lingering tannins, and enough acidity to balance the notes of soft earth.
For The Whiskey Lover:
Split Spirits Adventure Kit Whiskey Gift Set
New from our friends at Split Spirits, this Adventure Kit is filled with three 200ml bottles of sustainable whiskies, each with a sense of place, that go beyond the barrel, to discover delicious and distinct flavors. Each whiskey is bottled with wood that is emblematic of its place. Inside you’ll find:
- Vermont Sugar Maple Whiskey
- New York Black Cherry Whiskey
- Illinois White Oak Whiskey
For The Year-Round Rose Drinker:
Johannes Zillinger Numen Rose 2020
“Numen” is a Latin term connoting the spirit or divine power presiding over a thing or a place. Mind-bogglingly complex, this unconventional biodynamic rose is made by semi-carbonic whole-cluster fermentation in amphora, then left to rest for 8 months in the same vessel. The finished wine is filled with juicy bright berry fruit which almost leaps out of the glass. The texture is as silky as a Pinot Noir and as full and brambly as a Syrah
