Rocche Costa Magna Nebbiolo "Riccardo" $19.99
On May 15, 1841 the police office of the royal Military Command in Alba granted Luigi Costamagna, son of the estate’s founder Francesco Antonio Costamagna, an official licence “to retail the wine produced from his own vineyards” in La Morra. In 1911, Francesco Costamagna and his son Riccardo were awarded a gold medal at the “Gran Premio dell’Esposizione Internazionale di Torino” for fifty years of winemaking. When Francesco died, his son Riccardo, an attorney, continued to manage the winery with the help of his wife Maddalena. When he died in the 1930s, Riccardo’s wife decided to sell the vineyards located outside La Morra. Wine was produced only for the family’s own consumption and some grapes were sold to other winemakers. In the late 1960s, Maddalena’s niece, Claudia Ferraresi, together with her husband Giorgio Locatelli, restarted the commercial winemaking activity, planted new vineyards and modernised the old winery. Since the mid 1980s their son Alessandro Locatelli has been managing the winery with the help of agronomist Gian Piero Romana and enologist Giuseppe Caviola. Alessandro has improved the vineyards and wine-making techniques, he has been developing customer sales all over the world, and so carrying on the family tradition with passion and drawing on the wealth of experience gathered by the family.



 

The Beers!!

Maui Brewing Mana Wheat 4 pack $12.99
The promised pineapple in the nose is present in the taste, but not overpowering. It adds a light sweetness that’s complemented by some tropical rind flavors along with cinnamon, ginger, and zest that add a refreshing spiciness. The wheat profile is evident upfront with notes of bread crust but is followed by a juicy, hoppier finish that sharpens the taste. The beer is highly carbonated with a light mouthfeel for an American wheat, and the finish is dry. The high carbonation makes this beer a true thirst-quencher in the Hawaiin heat.

Stone Fear. Movie. Lions. Double IPA 6 pack $14.99
New England-Style IPAs are all the rage. Fans of Stone repeatedly ask for our take on the style, which can be met with some criticism. Rooted in West-Coast style IPAs for decades, how would we do it? Fear no more. Our brewers took the approach to deliver incredibly hoppy and aromatic flavor while keeping it very balanced, and upping the alcohol unnoticeably - nailing this astounding one-of-a-kind creation.
Overall this unfiltered double IPA is juiced up with massive tropical & citrus notes. The mild bitterness and relatively dry body compliment the style, and the residual maltiness nicely rounds it out. Lingering lime peel and tropical fruit derived from the hops stand out on the finish, begging one to seek out more. 

Weyerbacher 23rd Anniversary Golden Stout 4 pack $17.99

11.1% ABV
Weyerbacher’s 23 is an Imperial Golden Stout brewed with cascara, coffee beans and cacao nibs. While golden in color, this beer has the roasty, chocolatey qualities that a stout would have along with hints of dark fruit and tobacco.
