Martin Woods 2021 Koosah Vineyard Chardonnay 750 mL
Yellow pear and honeyed apple open with white grapefruit, honeysuckle and a cool sea-breeze freshness. The palate is vivid and finely drawn, layering tangerine, lime zest and green apple over a stony mineral core. Cedary herbs and a light celery-seed savouriness bring detail through the middle. Juicy acidity keeps the texture bright and focused, leading to a long, clean finish with lingering citrus and orchard fruit.
Martin Woods 2021 Koosah Vineyard Pinot Noir 750 mL
Red berry compote and dark cherry lead, accented by dried herbs, tangerine peel and a measured note of leather.

The finish is persistent and energetic, carrying red fruit, citrus peel and gentle earthy spice.
Scholium Project 2014 The Sylphs Guman Vineyard Chardonnay 750 mL
Full and rounded, the palate is disciplined rather than overtly fruity, with layered secondary and tertiary character carrying through its considerable length. The texture is broad yet controlled, shaped by subtle tannic grip and an unhurried sense of development. Complexity builds gradually across the middle. The finish remains balanced and quietly persistent, leaving savoury, mature detail rather than simple sweetness.
Dry Fly Washington Wheat Whiskey
Oak and apple rise first, with a light citrus note keeping the aroma fresh. The palate moves through toasted wheat, toffee and butterscotch, then picks up cinnamon, honey and a peppery edge. The texture is rounded but not soft, preserving grain character through the centre. The finish is lively and warming, leaving buttered toast, spice and a clean trace of oak.
Martin Woods 2021 Yamhill Valley Vineyard Chardonnay 750 mL
Grilled peach and yellow apple lead, joined by honeycomb, white flowers and a gentle note of ginger. The palate is deep and expressive, with ripe orchard fruit balanced by a clear mineral line and fresh, measured acidity. Hints of mushroom, pollen and candle smoke add savoury complexity without weighing down the fruit. The finish is long and composed, carrying white peach, sweet spice and a quiet saline edge.
Martin Woods 2021 Jessie James Vineyard Pinot Noir 750 mL
Sweet early-season strawberry, pomegranate and wild raspberry lead, followed by rose petals, pine bough and a quiet woodland note.

The finish is focused and persistent, retaining floral lift, savoury detail and clear red-fruit energy.
Yellow Rose Straight Rye Whiskey
Caramel corn and melted brown sugar lead the aroma, followed by spearmint, clove and a touch of dark fruit. The palate is full and warmly spiced, with honey, worn leather and toasted wood adding depth around the rye’s fresher herbal edge. Sweetness and oak stay in good balance. The finish is long and rich, returning to mint, caramel and peppery spice.
Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Apricot and ripe pear lead the aroma, followed by roasted grain, vanilla and gentle baking spice. The palate is smooth and approachable, with charred American oak bringing structure beneath the fruit and a light caramel sweetness rounding the centre. A measured pepper note and dry oak carry the finish without becoming severe. Serve neat, over a single large cube, or in a restrained Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
Kings County Distillery Moonshine 375 mL
Bright and grain-led, with sweet corn at the centre and a clean malted-barley edge. The unaged style keeps the spirit vivid and direct, while careful distillation gives the palate a smooth, polished texture and a clear, warming finish. Serve chilled, over a large cube or in a spirit-forward cocktail; it also works well in a savoury Martini-style drink with dry vermouth and olive brine.
Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon Whiskey
Sweet roasted corn and praline lead the aroma, followed by caramel and oak. The palate is round and supple, with dried fruit and toffee adding depth as grain and oak spice bring definition. Its sweetness is measured rather than heavy. The finish carries roasted corn, praline, dried fruit and toffee, with grain and oak spice providing a clear, structured counterpoint.
Knob Creek Small Batch Rye Whiskey
Dried herbs and rye lead the aroma, with seasoned oak and vanilla giving it depth. The palate is concentrated, bringing rye spice, dried cherry and a touch of cigar tobacco over a firm oak core. Its texture is notably oily without feeling heavy. Char spice and dried fruit return on the finish, joined by vanilla and oak in a warm, steady close.
Clear Creek Mirabelle Plum Brandy 375 mL
Ripe plum and floral apricot rise first, followed by pear and a faint note of raw sugar as the spirit settles in the glass. The palate keeps plum at the centre, with a clean, medium-weight texture and measured warmth. Its fruit gradually turns drier toward apricot skin. The finish is crisp and lightly fruity, leaving delicate orchard tones rather than sweetness.
Rebel 100 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A sweet opening aroma gives way to a fuller, more forceful palate, with caramel and vanilla at the centre. Wheat softens the grain profile, but the higher proof brings clear warmth and definition rather than simple sweetness. The finish turns dry, leaving caramelized sugar, vanilla and gentle spice behind. Serve neat, with a few drops of water or over a large cube; it also has enough structure for an Old Fashioned or a bourbon-forward Manhattan.
The Ale Apothecary The Beer Formerly Known as La Tache
Soft tartness shapes this barrel-aged wild ale, with grain, citrus and gently rustic fermentation notes held in careful balance. Malted barley and wheat provide a rounded base, while aromatic Cascade hops add lift without assertive bitterness. Long fermentation in oak builds subtle wood, earth and vinous depth before a dry, complex finish. Serve cool rather than ice-cold with roast chicken, washed-rind cheese or charcuterie.
Dry Creek Vineyard 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon 750 mL
Black cherry, black currant and dried cranberry open, followed by raspberry and fresh boysenberry. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with ripe dark fruit framed by refined tannins and bright natural acidity. Cocoa, bay leaf, sage and sweet tobacco add savoury depth, while white pepper and cedar bring lift. Layered and composed, it finishes long with currant, spice and a persistent herbal note.
St. George Bruto Americano
Vibrant citrus leads the aroma, backed by cinnamon, sandalwood and fresh fir. The palate opens with decisive gentian bitterness before moving into an herbaceous, woodsy centre shaped by Seville orange, balsam fir and California buckthorn. Light, dry and layered rather than sweet, it closes with a lingering bitter-citrus finish. Serve over ice with soda and orange, or use in a Negroni, Americano or spritz for a distinctly botanical edge.
Jim Beam Old Tub Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon
Floral honey, oak and clove open the aroma, sharpened by lemon and orange zest. The palate is warm and full, bringing brown spice, caramel and grain together with a fresh citrus accent, while the unfiltered style gives the texture satisfying presence. Serve neat, with a splash of water or over a large cube; it also has the structure for an Old Fashioned or whiskey sour.
Everclear 151 Proof Grain Alcohol
Clean, neutral and deliberately understated, this high-proof grain spirit is designed to carry other flavours rather than impose its own. Its clear, dry profile makes it particularly effective for measured cocktail use, house-made liqueurs, extracts and fruit or botanical infusions. Treat it as a concentrated ingredient rather than a sipping spirit, dilute carefully, and use a restrained hand when building drinks.
