Don't Forget the Opener

Don't take your corkscrew or other bottle opener for granted. While twist-off bottles are common in every area, you just never know when you'll need an opener. We do sell an assortment of openers and corkscrews, which will help you access some of our newest products, like these:

Revel Stoke Pumpkin Spiced Whisky

Revel Stoke Pumpkin Spiced is made with a blend of rye, corn, and barley malt that is triple distilled in copper stills.  The whisky is aged for three years in charred white oak barrels.  Natural pumpkin spice flavors are then infused before bottling at 70 proof.It pours to a golden Chardonnay color.  The aroma is nutmeg, clove, and allspice with an eggnog backing.  The sweet whisky entry has vanilla flavor. Nutmeg arrives and is joined by clove and allspice.  It fades with spicy cinnamon, vanilla, and whisky taste with a mild burn on the back of my throat.  Revel Stoke Pumpkin Spice finishes with a mild sting and natural pumpkin spice taste.

Available in 750ML and 50ML.


Failla 2013 Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay, Napa Valley

This is the fourth vintage producing Chardonnay from one of Lee Hudson’s most prized blocks on his multi-faceted ranch. Ehren’s winemaking offers a fresh and delicate display of one of California’s finest Chardonnay sources. Aromatics contain classic Wente notes - citrus, apple blossom and honeysuckle, while the palate is focused and pure. This wine showcases Hudson’s natural intensity while maintaining Failla’s grace and elegance allowing for serious cellar potential with this bottling. Lay a few bottles down and watch the evolution over the next 10 years.

94 points from Wine Enthusiast. Only 500 cases were produced. We received only one case, and it's available in Woodbridge. $49.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Failla 2013 Estate Vineyard Chardonnay, Fort Ross-Seaview

Vine maturity has come to full fruition at our Gualala Ranch Estate Vineyard as we find this to be one of the most complete bottlings yet. Chemistry, aromatics and flavor profile are all on point with a complex nose dominated by savory notes as hints of coastal bay, hazelnut and bee pollen pave the way for a wine of tremendous texture and a sappy, dense finish. This wine is classic in every way.

92 points from Wine Spectator. Their review: "A citrusy style, with spicy green apple, pear and melon notes amid the ripe fig and honeysuckle details. Gains richness and depth, and should benefit from some cellar time. Long and persistent on the finish. Drink now."

Only 345 cases were produced. We received only one case, and it's available in Lawrenceville. $41.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Yards Cicada

Our first dry hopped Belgian-style IPA, we brew Cicada with a classic Belgian yeast strain and local wildflower honey, making it a truly indigenous ale. Subtle bubble gum notes from the yeast balance a smooth, caramel maltiness. Both citrus and earthy flavors round out this full-bodied, complex beer. Our buzzworthy brew will leave quite the impression on you, just like its namesake, which engulfs the mid Atlantic region every 17 years. 8.5% ABV, 60 IBU's. In 750ML bottles.
