The Veneto region of northeastern Italy is acclaimed for the production of high-quality Prosecco. LaLuca embraces this tradition with a combination of quality and affordability, produced in the highly regarded sub-region of Treviso where many of the best values in Prosecco originate. LaLuca is sourced from some of the finest vines in Veneto's Treviso province in northeastern Italy. The Treviso province is known for its higher-quality Glera grapes, which are used to produce many of the premier Proseccos in Italy. The region features soils of alluvial origin, which include fine particles of silt and clay and larger components of sand and gravel. Grapes for LaLuca are harvested from hillside vineyards that are located 400 meters above sea level and benefit from southeastern exposures to maximize sunlight.

Be your own critic and judge wines for yourself.

v Cavit swept onto the radar of American wine lovers in the 1970s as a pioneer of a then little-known white wine called Pinot Grigio. Prized for its crisp, elegant character, fruit flavors and delicate floral aroma, Pinot Grigio is a demanding grape to cultivate, but has flourished in northern Italy for over a century. Cavit has consistently championed this varietal in the U.S., earning its well-deserved title of America’s #1 Italian Pinot Grigio*. Additionally, Cavit produces a full range of high-quality, approachable and food-friendly wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Moscato, Oak Zero Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Prosecco, Prosecco Rosé, Rosé, Select Red Blend, and Sweet Red.

Grown in the Uco Valley of Argentina’s Mendoza winemaking region at the foot of the majestic, snow- covered Andes, Portillo brings a remarkable collection of wines grown at some of the highest elevations on the planet. At this altitude, the sun is closer, the nights cooler, and the vineyards are irrigated by melted glacier water from the Andes. This produces easy-to-drink, fresh and fruit forward wines with uncommon quality and concentration. Portillo makes it easy to match wines with food for everyday enjoyment with iconized food pairing suggestions on the labels. Inspired by the high elevation crossings along the Andes Mountain Range, we named our wines Portillo, the Spanish word for gateway or portal.

v In the early 1990s, one of Italy’s top enologists, Winemaker, and Trentino native, Anselmo Martini, realized the optimum potential of a handful of extraordinary vineyards in northern Italy’s Trentino region. Known for consistently producing the highest quality grapes year after year, this distinctive group of family- farmed vineyards became the source of Bottega Vinaia, an exceptional line of estate- bottled, artisan wines that reflects the authenticity of the Trentino terroir. Taking inspiration for the shape of the Trentino region, the butterfly is the official symbol for this land rich in natural beauty.

Austin and his team know just how unique each part of Paso Robles can be. We seek out the vineyards from all over the Paso Robles AVA that best define Paso’s Cabernet Sauvignon. What you may find surprising is that east of the Salinas River, atop ancient flood plains and sea beds, is where we find the soils that drive the wine quality. Our region is well-known for its calcareous and limestone soils. We love them…in moderation. We find that a good combination of broken-down calcareous stones, disintegrated bedrock and gravel combined with loamy soils make magic! Some of our favorite vineyards are located within the Creston District and the Estrella District. Both are on the edges of ancient river beds where rocks wore down and mixed with the alluvial soils from the nearby hills. These special vineyard sites provide not only the right soil types and structure, but the right micro climate of warm days, cooling afternoon winds and cool nights. We thoughtfully direct the farming at theses vineyard sites to ensure the consistent quality of the Austin Hope Cabernet.

Our wine is carefully transferred from the vinification vats or barrels to the cellars by means of gravity. There it is allowed to mature in casks for 12 to 18 months. Depending on the vintage, we use a combination of oak barrels of different origins (Tronçais, Allier, etc.) and of varying degrees of toast to achieve discreet yet complex nuances of oak that are always elegantly well-integrated. Aging is the art of patience, tasting and respect for all the work that has already gone into the crafting of the wine.

Tullibardine’s history of brewing and distilling dates back to 1488, when King James IV of Scotland stopped by the site, a brewery at the time, to purchase beer. This was recorded as the first public purchase of beer in Scotland. Fast forward to 1947 when distillery specialist William Delme- Evans visited the same spot and found that the mineral rich character and purity of the water from nearby springs situated in Perthshire’s Ochil Hills was perfect for distillation. The Ochil Hills are well known for the gold that was once mined from them, giving us our ‘a drop of pure Highland gold’. Using the Danny Burn as the water source, Delme-Evans converted the brewery site into a whisky distillery and named it Tullibardine after the small medieval chapel situated nearby and translating as ‘lookout hill’ in Gaelic. Tullibardine was the first distillery to be built in Scotland since 1900.
