2023	Two Hands	Shiraz 'Gnarly Dudes' Barossa Valley	There’s a tangy beet-root note amidst concentrated blackberry and plum fruit, sprinkled with black pepper and mint on this oh-so-Aussie Shiraz. The palate shows density and tension, with savory tannins woven through plump dark-berry fruit and a sense of restraint amidst the heft. Drink now, with a steak at hand or over the next decade.

2024	Domaine de la Fouquette	Cotes de Provence 'Rose d'Aurore'	The nose of this wine is like a tropical-fruit smoothie.

NV	Bluebird Distilling	Char and Stave Coffee Liqueur	Made with Arabica coffee from roaster Char and Stave and a vodka base from Bluebird. The appearance, aroma and flavor suggest lightly sweetened cold brew coffee, finishing with hints of plum skin and clove heat. Would be stellar in an espresso martini.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2025-04-07

2022	Bhilar	Blanco	Lightly gauzy and golden in hue, this silky white is fragrant with hints of honeysuckle and mint, offering flavors of raw almond, mandarin orange peel and dried white cherry.
