LiV

Long Island Spirits is Long Island's first craft distillery and is housed in a beautifully restored barn that was originally built in the early 1900s. The scenic barn is located in Baiting Hollow, NY in the heart of Long Island's renowned Wine Growing Region on the front portion of an 80-acre potato farm in idyllic North Fork.

Tasting Notes: Long Island's small batch craft super premium potato vodka has a bright, silky texture offering hints of banana, citrus, strawberries, vanilla and anise, with an elegant and clean finish.

Chateau Tour St. Bonet Medoc 2005

Reminiscent of a mini-Grand Puy Lacoste with its cassis fruit, attractive aromatics, lush, sweet, medium-bodied flavors, and inky/ruby/purple color, the 2005 Tour St.-Bonnet sells for a fraction of the price of the Grand-Puy-Lacoste. But beggars can't be that choosy, right? Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Score: 88. Robert Parker, April 2008.

Aresti Pinot Noir Estate Selection 2007

First established in Chile's Curicó Valley in 1951, the Aresti Family Vineyards has been supplying top quality wine to other producers for more than 50 years, until the 1990s when they began making their own wines. The Aresti Pinot Noir has vibrant strawberry jam aromas, anise and cinnamon on the nose. The aromas continue through to the palate, easy-drinking and yet complex, with a nice, long finish.

Alvaro Palacios 2005 Les Terrasses Priorat

Precise cherry and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by cocoa, anise and dried flowers. Supple, chewy dark fruit flavors are gently supported by dusty tannins, with good acid lift on the back. Finishes with excellent juicy persistence and a jolt of bitter cherry. 90 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, SEP/OCT 2007.

Domaine de Canton French Ginger Liqueur

Domaine de Canton is made in Jarnac, France in the tradition of colonial indochine in which ginger infused elixirs were blended with fine Cognac. Fresh baby ginger is cut by hand, twice infused with Grand Champagne VSOP Cognac, and then blended with vanilla and orange blossom honey from Provence. Its taste is fresh, intense, with interesting notes of orange and cognac and rich, yet clean finishing sweetness. Canton can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or in a number of fine cocktails.

Tasting Notes: Clear, pale gold color. The nose is beautifully complex with hints of honey, and fresh, spicy ginger leading the charge. The palate perfectly balances viscosity and sweetness with tart and spicy notes. Amazingly pure offering true flavors of candied ginger with complimentary vanilla and brandy notes.

Le Tourment Vert Absinthe

An authentic, traditional handcrafted French absinthe. A spirit made from anise, fennel, wormwood and a blend of aromatic herbs including sage, rosemary and coriander.

Tasting Notes: Delicate flavors, sweet anise cools the mouth with a light mint finish. Light, refreshing, sophisticated, not bitter. The simplicity is balanced by the clear, bright flavor that rings through to a lasting finish.

Niel Joubert Chenin Blanc 2008

An attention grabbing nose packed with fresh, ripe tropical notes with delightful mingle of citrus, guava and granadilla. Niel Joubert Chenin Blanc is delicious in the mouth with ever-so-lively tingle, yet ultra smooth across the palate. Clean zingy finish.

Tasting Notes: Shows an attractive goldish yellow, and ofers refreshing tropical fruit flavors with a lemon finish. The ever so slight off-dry character provides a delightful fruitiness and "drinkability." The fresh lively characteristic of this wine is its overwhelming attraction.

Meinhard Forstreiter Grüner Veltliner Tabor 2006

"Muscular Gruner, with rich and concentrated quince, peach, ruby grapefruit, guava and mango flavors. Plenty of structure to back it up, with a mouthwatering finish of smoke and spice. Best from 2010 through 2017. 94 Points" Wine Spectator

Kourtakis Muscat of Samos

The Aegean island of Samos is the unique source of this justly famous wine: the Muscat of Samos. It is a delicious, sweet white wine with a marvelous fruity flavor. Ideal either as an apertif or a dessert wine. To savor at its best it should be served chilled.

Its quality is due to the combination of ideal conditions of soil and climate with the painstaking selection of the grapes and the traditional way of making the wine. These natural advantages coupled with human experience have placed the Muscat of Samos among the famous vintages.

Nicolas Feuillatte Rosé Brut

The signature of Nicolas Feuillatte; intense, impertinent pleasure! There is simply no other rosé Champagne like this cuvée from Nicolas Feuillatte. Blended from 90% red grapes with a dollop of Chardonnay, this wine explodes in the glass with vivid aromas and flavors of raspberry, strawberry and red currants.

Tasting Notes: "Reserve Particuliere Brut Premier Cru is a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir, and 20% Chardonnay. This is a deliciously floral, light-bodied, wonderfully subtle yet effervescent Champagne that stood out in my tastings as one of the finest values in the non-vintage category. 92 Poiunts" Wine Spectator

Krahn Gin

It is a bend of Italian juniper berries, Moroccan coriander seed, Florida oranges, California lemon and grapefruit, and Thai ginger, and singled-distilled in "Stupfler Alambic" pot stills, producing a spirit with a uniquely clean and crisp flavor profile. It features subtle citrus, banana custard and mild botanical aromas, and has a soft, round entry, that as consumed, leads to a super smooth, dryish light-to-medium-bodied palate with delicate flavors of powdered sugar, dusted lemon peels, talc, peppery spices, mild juniper and lemon blossom water notes.

St. Germain

Handpicked small white blossoms from the French Alps where elder bushes grow abundantly were preferred for the maceration. Hungarian and Romanian gypsies trawl the mountain-sides to handpick the small white blossoms.
St. Germain's packaging reflects the artisan nature of its production. The shapely eight-sided bottle was created as a tribute to the vibrant art deco period in St. Germain. Each is finished with a heavy stopper and individually numbered and marked with the vintage year.

Tasting Notes: It is a very light pale gold color and a medium light body. The aroma is primarily flowers and fruit, think of pears and lychee, and is lightly sweet and tart on the nose.
