New Products

Now that the industry shut-down week is over, deliveries have resumed. These items are now in stock, or are about to arrive.

Ciroc Pineapple: So new it's not even on the official web site. The 750ML size should arrive next week, with 1.75L and 375ML sizes expected in mid-September. CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka is crafted from fine, succulent French grapes, distilled a fifth time at the Distillerie de Chevanceaux in southwest France. These specially selected grapes create the distinctly fresh and smooth taste of CÎROC Vodka.




Heartland Spice Trader Shiraz Cabernet: This is a very dark glass

of juicy and delicious red. A burst of intense primary fruit greets the palate with blueberries, blackberries and currants. These powerful fruit notes can engulf the uninitiated, but waves of spice can be discovered by seasoned flavor explorers.

Time in barrel permits a softening of the wine’s structure. It also offers a complex expression of the fruit and helps the exotic notes of spice to be discovered.

Shiraz [58%] and Cabernet Sauvignon [42%].
