Beer, 750ml
Don’t be afraid of the 750s! Although 750ml is the standard size for a bottle of wine, it is only
24oz. A normal bottle of beer is only 12oz, thus making a 750ml the equivalent of two bottles
of beer. Perfect for splitting with a friend or for a very thirsty beer lover!

Australia’s Best Chardonnay
Founded in 1969 by Denis and Tricia Horgan, the estate was previously an old cattle Ranch.
In 1972 Robert Mondavi was brought on board as a consultant for the emerging winery,
helping to lay out the foundations for what would become one of the best wineries of the
Margaret River. The Art Series Chardonnay is frequently regarded as the best Chardonnay of
Australia, with the 1980 vintage being declared as the “Best Chardonnay in the world” by
Decanter Magazine in 1982.

Chenin Blanc
One of the noblest white grapes of France, Chenin Blanc is widely underrated and
misunderstood. Birthed from the obscure Jura grape Savagnin, and a close relative to
Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc can make an extremely versatile wine that comes in a variety of
styles. In its famous home of Vouvray, Chenin can range from dry to lusciously sweet, with a
distinctive aroma of beeswax and hints of the Noble Rot, Botrytis. The wines of Savennieres
are known for their incredible austerity and complexity, while the area of Chinon has some of
the rarest plantings of Chenin that take on a delicious fruity profile similar to orchard fruits.
Lastly, Chenin Blanc is also the most famous white grape of South Africa. Once known as
“Steen,” Chenin in South Africa has plantings far exceeding anywhere else in the world and has
some of the world’s oldest Chenin vines, which Eben Sadie’s Skurfburg pays testament to.

The White Wines Of Alsace
Alsace is a unique little bubble on the border of Western Germany that is isolated from the rest
of France by the Vosges Mountains. Lost in time and almost translation, a unique language
made up of French and German is spoken by its small population. The grapes of the Grand
Crus of Alsace are only allowed Grand Cru status if they are planted to the four noble grapes of
Alsace: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Muscat, and Gewurztraminer, with the only exception in history
being the powerful Sylvaner growing in Zotzenberg.

*Albert Boxler
The Boxler family,
originally from
Switzerland, has been
producing wine in Alsace
since the 15th century.
However, it wasn’t until
1946 when descendant
Albert Boxler, then living
in the state of Montana,
returned home to his
family domain during
World War II to help save
his family’s domain.
Upon returning home he
united the family brand
for the first time bottled
at the winery and under
its own family label, the
same label used today
drawn by Albert’s cousin
in 1946.

*Les Chaillees de L’enfer
Literal translation: The Terraces of Hell. The name for this stone wall enclosed, South
facing vineyard came about in a time long since passed, when travelers and vineyard
workers sweltering underneath the sun could be heard saying “on est a l’enfer,” or rather
“we are in hell.” Full bodied, luscious, and masculine, many great Condrieu must bow down
to this wine.

Shiraz & Australian Rhone Varietals
Wine making in Australia did not begin until the late 1780’s by the earliest fleet of British
prisoners. Although Australia’s winemaking history is one of the World’s youngest, Australia
boasts some of the oldest living vines in the world, due largely to their outstanding control and
preventative measures of the aphid louse Phyloxera, a notorious pest that feeds on the
rootstock of the Vitis Vinifera species of grapes.
Many of the old vines came in danger in 1987 when the Australian government began paying
growers to pull up red vines in an attempt to meet the rampant international demand for
Chardonnay in the 1980’s and to take care of an inflated surplus of red grape plantings.
Ultimately this plan backfired as demand for Australian Chardonnay subsided 20 years later,
leaving growers with too much Chardonnay and not enough of the increasingly popular old vine
Shiraz, Grenache, and Mataro (Mourvedre) that had been pulled up.
Thankfully, many growers with admirable integrity maintained their old vines, gracing Australia
with a unique treasure trove of old vines with incredible complexity, such as the over 160 year
old Mourvedre from Hewitson’s Old Garden.
