Bourbon Affair

Carl T. is Starlight Distillery's signature bourbon, named after their 4th generation family member, Carl Theodore Huber. After 4 years of aging in new, charred American Oak, this bourbon is finished in a Spanish Oloroso Sherry barrel for over 8 months. Its finish provides notes of dried cherry and orange citrus that complement the characteristic flavors of the Distillery's flagship bourbon.

Spending up to 18 months finishing in Caribbean rum casks, the taste profile of Angel's Envy finished rye whiskey is genuinely unique and worthy of Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s legacy. The mingling of raw, spicy and earthy rye with the mellow sweetness of rum finishing creates an incomparably smooth and drinkable whiskey.

Twice barreled for added complexity, Toasted Barrel takes Elijah Craig's award-winning Small Batch Bourbon to new heights. After it's fully matured, this Bourbon finishes in a second, custom toasted new oak barrel, where it’s left to develop even more sweet oak flavor. With a big and rich complexity, this bourbon highlights delightful spice and pepper notes that fade to milk chocolate with just a hint of smoke.

This Kentucky Bourbon pays tribute to the earliest days of the family-owned Distillery’s history when it released Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond in 1939. Extra-aged at 7-years-old and crafted from barrels that matured in their prime rickhouse locations, the number of barrels pulled from is extremely limited. The Bourbon offers a smooth, warm flavor profile redolent of caramel and honey, mingled with just enough oak and char to round out the richness.

Eagle Rare Bourbon Whiskey is masterfully crafted and carefully aged for no less than ten years. Every barrel is discriminately selected to offer consistent flavor but with a seemingly individual personality. The nose of this bourbon is complex, with aromas of toffee, hints of orange peel, herbs, honey, leather and oak. The taste is bold, dry and delicate with notes of candied almonds and very rich cocoa that finishes dry and lingering.

Guided by the idea that “less is more,” Emmolo's Sauvignon Blanc is dry and fresh, with crisp fruit flavors and bright minerality. Some of their grapes come from family vineyards in Napa Valley, with the majority coming from Suisun Valley, a “hidden gem” wine region near Napa. With notes of bright citrus, crisp acidity and zesty kumquat, this wine presents a mouthwatering freshness on the finish that's perfect for warm days and cool nights. 

Leave it to the Wagners to seek out prime, old vine Petite Sirah in Suisun Valley, a warmer zone just to the south-east of Napa Valley better known for their peaches and apricots. This is a big, black, juicy Petite Sirah with notes of toasted herbs, deep boysenberry fruit and prunes alongside tobacco, black cherry, and baking spices. The style of this wine is full throttle and no holds barred - rich, ripe, and begging for a big rack of prime rib. If you love Caymus Cabernet, you’re going to flip for this one.

This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of black cherry, black current, and dark plum layered upon notes of toasty caramel. On the palate, this full-bodied silky wine has flavors of blackberries and Mission figs intermingled by notes of clove and well-integrated tannins. All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and plentiful texture promises an amazing vintage.

Domaine Drouhun's 2019 Dundee Hills Estate Pinot Noir is beautifully concentrated with a decidedly complex bouquet. Restrained notes of redcurrant compote and tobacco transition to youthful spice and bramble. Texturally very pleasing, the velvety palate seamlessly blends a kirsch core with an appealing influence of earthy undertones and a touch of vanilla. The engaging finish is luxuriously long and elegant.

Drouhin Oregon's Roserock Chardonnay brings together the estate’s three Chardonnay blocks, which are handpicked and sorted. The Chardonnay is pressed immediately and sent in equal parts to tank and barrel. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, Véronique assembles the two portions into her final cuvée. This wine is opulent and refined, with a vibrant core of acidity framed by pear, cantaloupe and toasty spice flavors that build depth and richness on the savory finish.
