Come get the latest from Stone at Gomer's South! From the website: IBUs 110 ABV 10.8% We first released this decidedly indelicate beer in 2012, as Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our belovedly bitter Stone Ruination IPA. Stone RuinTen IPA uses the same recklessly hoppy recipe as the 2012 release; only the name has changed, since we're now unleashing this belligerently delicious hop monster upon the public on an annual basis. We packed a whopping five pounds of hops into each barrel, and cranked up the ABV to stand up to the hop onslaught. The results are glorious, and we know you'll rejoice in tasting this audacious gem of hoppy splendor once again. You're welcome.
Stone Stochasticity Project
Trappist ales as we know them have a proud lineage dating back nearly a century. Rather than follow the footsteps of the monks who forged the quadrupel - the warmest and darkest of monastery offerings - we aimed to test its inherent makeup. In doing so, we added triticale, a hybrid grain combining the pleasant flavor of wheat with the elemental durability and spice of rye, to breathe new life into the malt bill. Because of this, this reimagined brew comes across differently than its classic Belgian predecessors, and beautifully so. Lower in sweetness, but rich with flavors mirroring dried fruit, it's a modern interpretation of one of the most historically sacred styles on Earth.

Boulevard Entwined Ale
Entwined Ale is the first production batch of a test beer formerly referred to as Nelson. While the recipe was adjusted slightly from the original tests, the use of Muscat juice remains the focus. The juice was combined with pale malt in the brewhouse for a beer that is light both in body and in color. It was hopped exclusively with a New Zealand hop variety called Nelson Sauvin, known for its tropical fruit and white wine-like aromatics. This unique session ale has a refreshing, slightly tart finish. Available now at Gomer's South!
Goose Island Illinois IPA
William Ogden opened Chicago's first brewery. He was the city's first mayor. And he added the North Brand channel to the Chicago River that created the island from which we take our name. Three good reasons why we gave our first-ever Belgian Style Tripel his name. We dry hopped The Ogden with American Citra® and Brewer's Gold hops to add spicy, tropical flavors. Then we fermented it with a unique Belgian yeast to give it a bold, complex palate. That was from their website. Available now at Gomer's South!

Jameson Black
Here is all you need to know about the new installment from Jameson available now at Gomer's South: *It may have taken 232 years to get here, but we're sure you'll agree this spirit was worth the wait. It all began when our masters carefully selected a high proportion of Irish pot still whiskey and a rare small batch grain whiskey, and left it to mature in flame-charred bourbon barrels. As the whiskey matured, it developed aromatic notes of charred wood, deep spices and exotic fruit to create the unmistakable rich and smooth Jameson Black Barrel taste.

Octomore Scotch
This is another classic Octomore, and again the peating level rises, now to 169 PPM. But at this degree of peating it's not about ultimate strength, it's about achieving the exceptional balance between the brooding power of this incredibly peated barley and the finesse and poise of one of the world's most elegant and sophisticated spirits - about craft, not ultimate strength.
Lagavulin 16 Year
Lagavulin 16-year-old Islay Single Malt Whiskey is finally back in stock after an unfair hiatus from the market. Come and get it now at Gomer's South.
Angel's Envy Bourbon
Created by Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, Angel's Envy is worth coveting. Aged up to 6 years in charred white oak barrels and finished in ruby port wine casks, Angel's Envy is an artisan's masterpiece unlike any other bourbon. Even after being named a "Living Legend" by Wine and Spirits Magazine, Lincoln wasn't content to rest on his laurels. He was always a malcontent. But then, you don't spend 40 years defining the spirits industry and earn an inaugural spot in the Bourbon Hall of Fame without a few unconventional ideas. Angel's Envy was his last, great endeavor. Angel's Envy is what happens when 200 years of tradition meet an independent master craftsman's instinct to improve. It's a total return to craft first, hand-blended batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time. Our bourbon starts with the finest local ingredients distilled in micro-batches and aged in American oak. We personally taste every barrel throughout each step to ensure that the spirit meets Lincoln's malcontent legacy. This would be enough for any other premium bourbon, but Lincoln had other ideas for his creation. That's why we finish every batch in ruby port wine casks. There's no set time for the process. It's only Angel's Envy when we say it is. The ruby port wine finish adds subtle nuance without ruining the integrity of the bourbon. The end result is a rich, exceptionally smooth and rare bourbon. Sin aside, we work every day to inspire envy, even if it takes a little longer.

Paul Vattan Sancerre 2011

Civello White Blend
Civello White Wine - Civello is unique in the wine world - a new white wine based on a mix of Pinot Gris with Verdelho. We began with a traditional Alsatian mix of Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. The two grapes together become a mysterious mix of taste and aromas best described as baked nuts and spice. Feeling the blend was too traditional, Winemaker Ricardo d. wanted to enrich the Pinot Gris with tropical notes and flavors. Chosen were the white peach and tropical flavors found in the Verdelho grape when grown in California.
Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc
Joel's pick for this week is Duckhorn Sauv Blanc, and it's available now at Gomer's South for 24.98! Come in and get a bottle and enjoy!
2009 Barking Dog Merlot
Wine aficionados will be eager to try a Merlot from Coombsville, the newest AVA in the Napa Valley. The vineyard is actually the oldest Merlot vineyard in this area. The 7 acre vineyard is on a rocky hillside with well drained soil. The growers have sold most of their grapes to prominent wineries such as Merryvale and Anderson's Conn Valley, a small portion of the crop has been devoted to this limited production private label.
Tahuan Bonarda 2010
Available now at Gomer's South! Some tasting notes: Nose: Very "syrah-like" on the nose in that it has notes of fresh game, black peppercorns, blackberry, leather and plums. Taste: This is a wonderful wine for the money and frankly one that should be quickly saught out by wine lovers of a more acid-driven wine. It has gorgeous dark fruit notes that combine with spice, tobacco and dark chocolate but a stellar cast of acidity that plays along with it. The mid palate is refreshing and full at the same time - the finish BEGS me to finish the entire bottle asap.
Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio
Come get some now at Gomer's South for only 12.98! From the website: Banfi's San Angelo Pinot Grigio has been a huge albeit unlikely success, for Tuscany wouldn't be considered the optimum location to plant this grape variety, which typically thrives in cooler climates. This vintage was warm and the grapes ripened early, but the results were excellent. On the palate the wine exhibits intense aromas of pear and citrus, with mouth-watering acidity and mouth-filling richness. It may pale next to some of the exceptional Pinot Grigio produced to the north in Alto Adige and Friuli, but that's hardly an indictment. It's fresh, crisp and delicious, an outstanding accompaniment with savory antipasti. Robert Whitley (8/2013).
The Riddler Red Blend
Available now at Gomer's South! From the website: Our Red Blend is a riddle of grapes for you to solve. 100% from Napa's best sub-appellations, it is based on a painting by Winemaker Richard de los Reyes - "The Riddler".
The Magician Lot 11
Available now at Gomer's South. From the website: Wine should be entertaining, personable, polished and mysterious. Red blends are far more unique, interesting and complex than varietal wines. Everyone can make a Cabernet Sauvignon and they do. Only we make The Magician. We expect this wine to be the best choice you can make when selecting a California Red. Enjoy it with dinner or before. Our guarantee to you is that you will not be disappointed. You may also have the pleasure of tasting grapes, and certainly a wine that you have never tasted before.

Hahn Meritage Blend 2012
Winemakers Notes: Evocative and full bodied, this rich and aromatic wine shows fragrances of cassis, blueberries and cedar. This wine shows a brilliant violet color in the glass, transitioning to ruby-purple at the edges. Prevailing initial fragrances of cassis and crushed blueberries are quickly followed by a silky impression of vanilla and cedar. This wine is richly textured and integrated on the palate, showing exotic undercurrents of baked blackberries and licorice. A touch of acidity balances a plush mouthfeel segueing into fine grained tannins on the finish. 35% Merlot, 34% Malbec, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot
Jordan Russian River Chardonnay
Empirical wisdom and agility were needed to overcome the obstacles Mother Nature handed us in 2011. The 2011 Chardonnay is an elegant expression of a vintage that wanted anything but to be tamed. Aromas of freshly cut Fuji and Granny Smith apples, stone fruits and white flowers lead to vibrant minerality and bright fruit flavors. The creamy mid-palate is framed by well-integrated French oak and lively acidity that carry through to a refreshingly long finish.
Kono Sauvignon Blanc
Marlboroughas free-draining, alluvial loams over gravelly subsoils provide ideal growing conditions for our KONO Sauvignon Blanc. With the abundant sunshine, cool nights and a long growing season in this region, this wine is vibrant with intense citrus and gooseberry flavors and notes of capsicum and passionfruit. A blend of fruits from the Awatere, Waihopai, and Lower Wairau Valleys gives this Sauvignon Blanc the classic Marlborough fruit burst with great palate weight and a clean, acid finish. Available now at Gomer's South for $10.98!
Toasted Head Chardonnay
A barrel fermented chardonnay that is rich and complex with flavors showing topical fruit, peaches and pineapple on the palate. This is a great chardonnay to pick up on your way to a dinner party.
Being the owner of a gas station he started in 1969, Ed “Gomer” Moody found himself in the middle of a gas shortage in 1973. Being the opportunist, he decided to go get a liquor license and expand the business. And once the gas started pumping again Gomer’s had became a very popular convenience store. Gomer’s Fine Wines and Spirits was born.
Over the years the gas station split off into its own building and a shopping center took shape in the area. And even as the Gomer’s name has expanded to four other locations in the Kansas City area, Gomer’s South has always been a roadhouse liquor store favorite. Sure, the building could use some work…but, we are too busy staying on top of the industry so we can bring you the latest and greatest at the best price. And if we’re not the best price, just show us the competitor’s ad and we will make it so. She may not be the prettiest girl at the ball, but she’s very stacked with…merchandise.
