Maikammerer Heiligenberg Gewurztraminer Spaetlese - Gold Medal


The Ziegler family has been making wine in the Rheinpfalz for almost 300 years. The current winery was built in 1894 and is now a national monument. Uwe Ziegler, the winery's owner, travels regularly to Australia and California to supplement his wine knowledge and to learn new techniques in wine production. Gewurztraminer is a difficult grape to work with and any mistakes made by the winemaker or damage done to grapes due to weather are easily detected. With that being said, it is a real treat when we find such a well made Gewurztraminer. This 2003 Spaetlese from Ziegler features an intense nose of roses and plenty of fruit on the palate. Gewurztraminer's famous spiciness kicks in on the back palate to make this white sweet wine a truly unique and special among the German wines. GMS03 GMS03

Maison Surrenne Vintage Cognac 1946


In the fall of 1946, in the village of Bilhouet, Hubert Portier returned to his life work: the crafting of small-lot cognacs from his vineyards. World War II had disrupted production, but this year's harvest was superb...the best in memory. In a rustic building behind the vineyard, Porter charged his ancestral still; even in 1946, the fact that it was wood-fired was old fashioned. Using methods passed from father to son for generations, Portier carefully produced sixteen barrels of a wonderful cognac. 51 years later, cataloguing their inventory in various small cellars in the region, one of the last of the family-owned houses, Maison Surenne, discovered a lot of Portier's fine cognac. Originally intended to be used in blends, this cognac was left undisturbed. Its aromas and flavors were astonishing. Maison Surrenne has bottled the lot unblended, with no additives, just as it came from the tun, in tribute to its distiller, who quietly produced one of the finest French cognacs ever made. Great gift for dessert lovers! (Subject to availability) GRS46 GRS46
