At the heart of every gathering, an artful array of beverages brings the party to life. Masterful cocktails set the tone. Robust wines match every toast. And—of course—flutes of Champagne, poured with grace and with cheer.
Veuve Clicquot Rosé Vintage 2008 is the first release from the current Cellar Master and is the House’s 65th vintage since 1810. New in the 2008 vintage: 5% of the wines were produced and aged in wooden casks, adding complexity as well as vanilla and toasted aromas to this fresh, refined, and elegant champagne.
Crafted from Premier Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Ruinart Rosé is a complex, sophisticated complement to the classic Ruinart style. A fine, elegant champagne with the distinctive Ruinart taste due to a high concentration of Chardonnay grapes. It is laced with notes of berries, guava, and wild roses. A smooth, balanced, fruit forward wine with finessed body.
This Marlborough Pinot Noir, when young, tends towards the red fruit spectrum, with notes of cherry and wild strawberry, framed by elegant tannins and a fine freshness. As the wine ages, it becomes more complex, showing soft spice. Fine, silky tannins and juicy freshness provide an elegant structure, with complexity coming from subtle oak. Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir has a cellaring potential of 20 years.
Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay 2016 is a brilliant Chardonnay representing one of Napa’s finest efforts. A style signature of Newton, this wine is elegant and precise with excellent balance between freshness, complexity, richness and structure. Unmistakably Napa. It will age with grace for five to ten years. Inspired by the greatest Chardonnays from Burgundy, Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay 2016 made history in the Napa Valley as the first to have “Unfiltered” on its label and is now one of the most renowned Chardonnays of the region.
“We try to express the potential that the fruit is able to give us with no compromises. For this we lower human manipulation to the minimum wherever possible”
- Alberto Bianchi, Newton Winemaker
This small-batch bourbon starts with traditionally grown corn, rye, and malted barley. The grains, cultivated exclusively on the Omlin Family farm in Quincy, Washington, are mashed, distilled, and barreled in Woodinville’s distillery. Next, they are trucked over the Cascades to private barrel-houses, where Central Washington’s extreme temperatures promote the extraction of the oak’s natural flavors. Prior to coopering, the barrel wood is seasoned in open air, rain, wind, sun, and snow for 18 months, softening the wood’s harsh tannins. The barrels are slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enrich the wood’s flavors.
At Maison Hennessy, it is said that cognac is not made, it is crafted. It is a precise blend of heritage, passion, and transmission that are the essence of our craft. Nothing captures the spirit of craftsmanship more than the Master Blender’s Selection – a unique series of three limited edition blends, each a hand-selected single-batch cognac. For the third edition in the series, Maison Hennessy is pleased to present the very first creation of Renaud Fillioux de Gironde, 8th generation Master Blender.
A voluptuously silky spirit, Glenmorangie's 14-year-old port cask finish is aged first in ex-bourbon casks for smooth, fruity notes. It is then finished in ruby port pipes from the Quintas, or wine estates, of Portugal to create velvety depth. The Quinta Ruban 14-year-old port cask finish brings chocolate boldness to Glenmorangie's renowned smooth style. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel, it is savored all over the world.
