Two Piece Wine Chilling Carafe with Stopper
Go ahead, put ice in your wine. You're trying to keep pace with the Junior League or you overslept on your turn to host Sunday brunch, either way this genius carafe has a center chamber that instantly cools down white wine without watering it down — and without making you feel like a tanorexic reality TV star.
BV Tapestry 2014 Reserve Napa Valley Red Table Wine
Weaving together the best grapes from some of the most storied winemaking regions in Napa Valley — Rutherford, St Helena, Calistoga — the Tapestry Reserve from Beaulieu is a virtual Northern California wine tasting vacation blended into a single bottle. It's a deep, layered, graceful red blend with classic Napa Cabernet at its core, a perfect homage to celebrating your first 5 years of blended family together — maybe a little Carole King on Spotify just to be meta.
Nick and Nora Glasses with Gold Trim, Set of 6
You and bae are the masters of JOMO, because you know nights in are way better anyway — and so are the craft cocktails you whip up. Serve your latest creations in something less mainstream with these elegant and fresh glasses — a throwback to the Minners Classic design of the 1930s and 40s, complete with gold-banded rims — perfect for Old Cubans with aged rum or Pisco Sours. For the first round.
Domaine Serene 2014 Yamhill Cuvée Pinot Noir
When you talk about Oregon Pinot Noir the original belle of the ball is Domaine Serene. Founded by a Burgundy-obsessed couple in 1989, their love for Pinot trail-blazed an entire industry in the Williamette Valley. And, when we say they're a critical darling we mean they have some of the best street cred in the wine game. The Yamhill Cuvée is a wonderful expression of the region. Its aromas range from lavender and sage to caramel and cocoa with a beautiful red fruit flavor.
Domaine Durand 2018 Reserve Sancerre
First time hosting happy hour at your new place, you want to show off but not seem like you're trying too hard. Relax. Throw together a simple goat cheese flatbread cut into finger food (we won't judge if it's frozen from a certain trader), a fresh, spicy greens salad and maybe some clam dip and pop open this funky, tart French white - a fierce and distinctive Sauvignon Blanc from a small-batch producer in France's Loire Valley, where the chalky soil was once a seabed and adds a gravelly almost saltiness. Everyone will just remember how much fun they had, and the great the food, wine & laughter.
Montagny Premier Cru 2015 Les Tourelles de la Crée
Owned by arguably the most iconic wine couple in Oregon, the Evenstads took their talents to Burgundy to purchase this amazing estate where they've proven themselves yet again. Château de la Crée produces a clean, pure expression of Burgundian terroir. This fresh Chardonnay smells of Meyer lemons, apricots and white peaches. It's perfect for a Spring evening or alongside a delicious flaky white fish cooked in lots of butter, as the French do.
Lagavulin 16 Year Single Malt Scotch
Just like Ron Swanson, you know Lagavulin by it's official name: "Mother's Milk." One of the most awarded and critically acclaimed Single Malts of all time, Lagavulin has been known for its slow distillation and pear-shaped pot stills since 1816. Sitting on the coast of Kidalton, "in the hollow by the mill" as it translates in Gaelic, Lagavulin is known for being less peaty than neighbors like Laphroaig — partly because it's aged in bourbon barrels, so it has more of that vanilla, honey, and fruit. Offered by Diageo and part of its Classic Malts lineup, the 16-year is Lagavulin's entry level bottle and a collector's favorite. Do like they do on the floor of the malting room every September and open this bottle while listening to some live music, gently dancing the night away and singing right along.
Raymond 2015 Generations Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
When you want to impress your in-laws and celebrate your blended families long after the honeymoon is over, this is the bottle to share: think 5-year anniversary, 5th Festivus, planting roots by investing in a home or adding to the family tree with a new member of the human cub variety. Made by five generations of the Raymond family using a best-of-Napa blend of grapes from five Napa Valley appellations during the best vintage in recent memory, this is a seriously baller, special occasion bottle that will age really well in your collection. Not to mention a big, opulent, full-bodied Cab strong enough to stand up to your most opinionated relatives!
