(Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Kriek 5%

Using old and young lambic beer that has aged in oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, they add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermen tation. They then clarify, filter and bottle it. The cherries and young lambic create a red beer that is both natural and fresh, with an absolutely unforgettable sweet and sour taste. This is kriek as it should be, with nothing but real cherries and lambic

330ml $22.00

Framboise 5%

Raspberry lambic was once a rarity and only produced for a few weeks during the summer. Frank Boon was the first brewer to again prepare a raspberry lambic in the summer of 1976.

330ml $20.00

Gueuze Mariage Parfait 8%

Consisting of 95% mild lambic, aged at least three years and specially reserved for this purpose, and 5% young lambic. The latter provides the fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. After mixing in a vessel of 25,000 liters, the wort (unfermented mixture) is filtered and chilled. The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonizes with the oak barrels' aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense

330ml $20.00

Hanssens Artisanaal - Dworp^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Oude Gueuze 5.8%

A blend of the finest Lambics, 100% matured in oak barrels and bottle conditioned.

$60.00

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato, of centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vineyard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy. The clusters from these ancient vines are picked in the first week in September, brought to the drying loft and allowed to dry naturally until mid-October, reducing 25% of their weight. It requires lengthy matu ration and aging in 70% French and 30% Ameri - can oak.

After 2 years in oak, the wine goes to bottle, where it remains until the end of the 4th year. Intensely ruby red , it offers equally intense aromas of black berries, dried plums and hints of dark choco late, earth, tobacco & sweet spices.

Sean Thackrey Pleiades XXVIII, NV California

$60.00

Non-Vintage blend known only to the late Sean Thackrey, a self-taught master, fully reliant on his intuition and senses With his passing on May 30, 2022, other than what may be cellaring, there will be no more wines coming from Sean Thackrey's iconoclastic company. The 28th iteration of Pleiades, like those before it, is a wine whose varieties, their blend, the vineyards, and vintages, were known only to him. His non-vintage blends combine red wine grapes from various regions of California. 14.4% This one was described by Sean this way: "The object of Pleiades is to be delicious, delight the jaded, irritate the Wine Police and go well with anything red wine goes with. Fragrant when first opened, the 28th edition, bottled in November 2020, is deep and voluptuous, becoming far more subtle and complex as time goes by. A wine truly greater than the sum of its parts."

$50.00

The abbey's reputation as a winery is stellar & international. In 2009, Italy's influ ential Gambero Rosso named Celestino Lucin, the abbey's enologist "Winemaker of the Year".

New World

Chasing Harvest 2019 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit destemmed and crushed was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity. The wine remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%

Mount Eden Old Vines Wolff Vineyard 2020 Chardonnay, California

Cleto Chiarli Brut di Noir Rosé Spumante (Grasparossa 85%, Pinot Nero 15%) VSQ Italy

$50.00

In the old days around Modena, the workers found refreshment in a light, pink, effervescent wine made from the runoff of grapes that were piled into carts for delivery to the winery. The Chiarli family pays homage to this old tradition with this Brut de Noir Rosé. Based on the Lambrusco Grasparossa grape variety, this wine gets its delightful pink hue from just a short period of skin contact, with 15% Pinot Nero. It's a fully sparkling wine, produced in a single fermentation in an autoclave— a piece of technology unavailable to those thirsty farmers of the past. 12%

Omer Vander Ghinste

When Omer Vander Ghinste started brewing in 1892 in the beautiful West Flemish village of Bellegem, brand names did not yet exist.

Therefore every firstborn son was baptized "Omer", a tradition still kept alive today, 130 years and 5 generations later!

Abbey-Style Beers

Abbey-Style Beers may or may not have a historical connection to an abbey and they may or may not pay royalties to a monastery. They are always beers of a style commonly associated with monastic brewing traditions. In some cases, a historic abbey sold or licensed a private company the rights to their name and recipes. In most though, there was never a connection between the brand and the Catholic Church

St. Bernardus

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer only for themselves. For beers for sale to the public, they gave a license to the nearby cheese factory, and brewery St. Bernardus was founded. (Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Recently, thanks to the discovery of an ancient beer recipe, the monks began brewing using their eucalyptus as a spice, creating the 11th official Trappist Beer in the world. Honeyish, mildly herbal w/ a subtle eucalyptus aftertaste. Mildly spicy, balanced by a stiff bitterness. Dry finish w/residual malt, fruit, and hops

Aromatically fruity, tart & unblended, w/a great balance of flavors. (Boon spells gueuze without the first "u".)

Kriek 5%

Using old and young lambic beer that has aged in oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, they add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermen tation. They then clarify, filter and bottle it. The cherries and young lambic create a red beer that is both natural and fresh, with an absolutely unforgettable sweet and sour taste. This is kriek as it should be, with nothing but real cherries and lambic

330ml $22.00

Framboise 5%

Raspberry lambic was once a rarity and only produced for a few weeks during the summer. Frank Boon was the first brewer to again prepare a raspberry lambic in the summer of 1976.

330ml $20.00

The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonizes with the oak barrels' aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense

Hanssens Artisanaal - Dworp^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Oude Gueuze 5.8%

A blend of the finest Lambics, 100% matured in oak barrels and bottle conditioned.

(100% Pinot Noir) It's hard to imagine a wine as refreshing and enlivening as Reverdy's Sancerre, but the domaine's Sancerre Rosé gives their classic white a serious run for its money.

$60.00

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato, of centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vineyard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy. The clusters from these ancient vines are picked in the first week in September, brought to the drying loft and allowed to dry naturally until mid-October, reducing 25% of their weight. It requires lengthy matu ration and aging in 70% French and 30% Ameri - can oak.

After 2 years in oak, the wine goes to bottle, where it remains until the end of the 4th year. Intensely ruby red , it offers equally intense aromas of black berries, dried plums and hints of dark choco late, earth, tobacco & sweet spices.

The wine is yellow with green tinges and the nose shows notes of peach and citrus with delicate mineral tones. Especially good with seafood. 12%

Hermanos del Villar Oro de Castilla 2022 Verdejo (Rueda) (100% Verdejo) Spain

$50.00

A family-owned winery with a strong focus on crafting exceptionally high-quality wines. Its origins trace back to 1955 when Pablo del Villar Escudero arrived in Rueda. Located at a high elevation, the vineyard is planted in a bed of river stones covering a limestone subsoil. Aromas of Meyer lemon and green apple are accented by suggestions of chalky minerals and sea salt. Dry and racy on the palate, offering lively citrus fruit and fresh fig flavors and a subtle touch of tarragon. 12.5%

Tasca d'Almerita 2021 Mozia Grillo (100% Grillo) Sicily

$50.00

From the tiny Sicilian Island of Mozia where the vineyard makes up 40 of the 98 total acres; this is the only wine produced there.The grapes are harvested slightly before they reach full maturation, so as to preserve some degree of acidity and maintain the freshness of the palate and the longevity that the white wine of Mozia has demonstrated over the years. Hawthorn, citrus, white stone fruit and an inviting whiff of pastry dough form the nose. Savory and boasting a polished texture, the vibrant palate features Meyer lemon, white peach and yellow apple alongside a briny mineral note. Crisp acidity keeps it energized and balanced. 14%

Tiberio 2020 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Italy

New World

Chasing Harvest 2019 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit destemmed and crushed was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity. The wine remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%

Sparkling

Charles Ellner "Carte Blanche" NV Champagne (30% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonay, 40% Pinot Meunier) Epernay, France

$50.00

At first austere in structure, with rapier acidity. Flavors of black currant, sliver ed almond, white peach & candied lemon peel, intense and tightly knit, expand on the palate and linger in the vibrant, spiced finish. Fermented in stainless-steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit flavors , then left on their lees for a mini mum of 4 yrs. to allow the wines to soften a bit, and fill out, and become beautifully drinkable upon release. 12%

Cleto Chiarli Brut di Noir Rosé Spumante (Grasparossa 85%, Pinot Nero 15%) VSQ Italy

$50.00

In the old days around Modena, the workers found refreshment in a light, pink, effervescent wine made from the runoff of grapes that were piled into carts for delivery to the winery. The Chiarli family pays homage to this old tradition with this Brut de Noir Rosé. Based on the Lambrusco Grasparossa grape variety, this wine gets its delightful pink hue from just a short period of skin contact, with 15% Pinot Nero. It's a fully sparkling wine, produced in a single fermentation in an autoclave— a piece of technology unavailable to those thirsty farmers of the past. 12%

Omer Vander Ghinste

When Omer Vander Ghinste started brewing in 1892 in the beautiful West Flemish village of Bellegem, brand names did not yet exist.

As these windows were very expensive, it was not an option to replace them at every change of generation. Therefore every firstborn son was baptized "Omer", a tradition still kept alive today, 130 years and 5 generations later!

Abbey-Style Beers

Abbey-Style Beers may or may not have a historical connection to an abbey and they may or may not pay royalties to a monastery. They are always beers of a style commonly associated with monastic brewing traditions. In some cases, a historic abbey sold or licensed a private company the rights to their name and recipes. In most though, there was never a connection between the brand and the Catholic Church

St. Bernardus

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer only for themselves.

(Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Hanssens Artisanaal - Dworp^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Pietro Beconcini, Vigna Le Nicchie 2012 Tempranillo (100% Tempranillo) San Miniato, Italy

$60.00

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato, of centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vineyard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy. The clusters from these ancient vines are picked in the first week in September, brought to the drying loft and allowed to dry naturally until mid-October, reducing 25% of their weight. It requires lengthy matu ration and aging in 70% French and 30% Ameri - can oak. After 12 mos., the final wine is blended from the various barrels, racked, and then aged another 12 mos. in the same barrels. After 2 years in oak, the wine goes to bottle, where it remains until the end of the 4th year. Intensely ruby red , it offers equally intense aromas of black berries, dried plums and hints of dark choco late, earth, tobacco & sweet spices.

His non-vintage blends combine red wine grapes from various regions of California. 14.4% This one was described by Sean this way: "The object of Pleiades is to be delicious, delight the jaded, irritate the Wine Police and go well with anything red wine goes with.

The abbey's reputation as a winery is stellar & international. In 2009, Italy's influ ential Gambero Rosso named Celestino Lucin, the abbey's enologist "Winemaker of the Year".

Chasing Harvest 2019 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit destemmed and crushed was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity. The wine remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%

A slight hoppy smell completes the whole. The mouth is long with a powerful body built on the density and generous apparent extract. The bitterness is present but sweet and blends harmoniously with the malty structure. The selection of special malts raises the chocolate side with the nuances of coconut

Omer Vander Ghinste

When Omer Vander Ghinste started brewing in 1892 in the beautiful West Flemish village of Bellegem, brand names did not yet exist. He promoted his beers by placing stained glass windows with the words "Beers Omer Vander Ghinste" in the front windows of the pubs. As these windows were very expensive, it was not an option to replace them at every change of generation. Therefore every firstborn son was baptized "Omer", a tradition still kept alive today, 130 years and 5 generations later!

Abbey-Style Beers

Abbey-Style Beers may or may not have a historical connection to an abbey and they may or may not pay royalties to a monastery. They are always beers of a style commonly associated with monastic brewing traditions. In some cases, a historic abbey sold or licensed a private company the rights to their name and recipes. In most though, there was never a connection between the brand and the Catholic Church

St. Bernardus

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer only for themselves. For beers for sale to the public, they gave a license to the nearby cheese factory, and brewery St. Bernardus was founded. (Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Hanssens Artisanaal - Dworp^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Oude Gueuze 5.8%

Pietro Beconcini, Vigna Le Nicchie 2012 Tempranillo (100% Tempranillo) San Miniato, Italy

$60.00

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato, of centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vineyard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy. The clusters from these ancient vines are picked in the first week in September, brought to the drying loft and allowed to dry naturally until mid-October, reducing 25% of their weight. It requires lengthy matu ration and aging in 70% French and 30% Ameri - can oak. After 12 mos., the final wine is blended from the various barrels, racked, and then aged another 12 mos. in the same barrels. After 2 years in oak, the wine goes to bottle, where it remains until the end of the 4th year. Intensely ruby red , it offers equally intense aromas of black berries, dried plums and hints of dark choco late, earth, tobacco & sweet spices.

Ettore Germano, Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2019 (100% Barbera) Italy

$60.00

Sergio Germano took over operations in 1985, following his schooling at the presti gi ous Scuola Enologica di Alba and he's made his mark in the famed hills of Barolo, Alba, and Langhe.

Gigante 2012 Schioppettino DOC Italy

$60.00

Made from 100% Schioppettino grapes, harvested in a vineyard at Corno di Rosazzo, Friuli Colli Orientali. The most credible expla na tion of the term schioppettino is ripe grapes that crackle when chewed due to the thick and taut skin. It also called Ribolla Nera. Traditionally the Schioppettino was drunk young, appreciating its marked acidity, the unobtrusive tannic component, and full body. But many producers have shown the vine to be capable of evolving elegantly with moderate aging, releasing its most significant trait—a beautiful fruitiness accompanied by an intriguing, elegant spicy vein reminiscent of black pepper, a characteristic associated also with some expressions of syrah. 13.5%

Sean Thackrey Pleiades XXVIII, NV California

$60.00

Non-Vintage blend known only to the late Sean Thackrey, a self-taught master, fully reliant on his intuition and senses With his passing on May 30, 2022, other than what may be cellaring, there will be no more wines coming from Sean Thackrey's iconoclastic company. The 28th iteration of Pleiades, like those before it, is a wine whose varieties, their blend, the vineyards, and vintages, were known only to him. His non-vintage blends combine red wine grapes from various regions of California. 14.4% This one was described by Sean this way: "The object of Pleiades is to be delicious, delight the jaded, irritate the Wine Police and go well with anything red wine goes with. Fragrant when first opened, the 28th edition, bottled in November 2020, is deep and voluptuous, becoming far more subtle and complex as time goes by. A wine truly greater than the sum of its parts." The antithesis of a corporate winemaker, Sean is and will be missed

Abbazia di Novacella 2020 Praepositus (Kerner) Italy

$50.00

Abbazia was founded in 1142 by the Augustinian Order of Canons Regular. The Augustinians are not monks in the most familiar sense: although they have taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to their superiors, they also work to support themselves as a part of their community—the Abbey not only grows grapes for wine making, but also apples & vege tables; there is also a small school devoted primarily to studies of viti cul ture. The abbey's reputation as a winery is stellar & international. In 2009, Italy's influ ential Gambero Rosso named Celestino Lucin, the abbey's enologist "Winemaker of the Year". This Kerner is stunningly clean and interesting, showing electric acidity, a creamy minerality and brilliant citrus & tropical flavors and aromas. Big structure, un-oaked, and very food-friendly. 14%

Chasing Harvest 2019 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit destemmed and crushed was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity. The wine remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%
