New Products
We start with a returning item, the 750ML size of Reyka Vodka. Reyka starts with arctic spring water, naturally filtered through local lava rock. The spirit is distilled in a Carter-Head Still (one of only six in the world). Reyka chose it because the high level of copper produces an unparalleled purity of spirit with only one distillation. Each distillation takes about 6 hours and yields 255 preciously small cases. Each bottle contains only natural flavors and extracts. No additives.

Montgravet CĂ´tes de Gascogne. This wine comes from vineyards located in the Gascony region, near the city of Toulouse in the South West of France. The climate combines the Oceanic and Mediterranean influences, which brings enough sun and humidity to grow rich, concentrated and ripe grapes. Close to the producers, and in order to source
the best vineyards, our winemaker has found some amazing "terroirs" spread on hills. These hills are called "Mont" in French. So as a tribute to the terroir from where the wine comes from we have named in Mont Gravet, "Gravet" being the name of an oval shaped rock commonly found in the area.
Mont Gravet has a pale, bright yellow color, with a very intense and refreshing nose. It displays flavors of citrus fruit and blackcurrant leaf. This wine will express itself best as an aperitif or with any seafood. Serve chilled. Only $7.49, and 88 points from Wine Spectator.
