Miraval Rose 6 LTR – The ONLY One in VT!

It’s not everyday we receive a 6 LTR bottle of wine, today is that day… just in time for the holiday celebrations!

Easy drinking, delightful, and ever so fun, Miraval Rosé is a delight available in a variety of sizes and prices:

 

  • 375ml | $14.99

  • 750ml | $24.99

  • 1.5ltr | $44.99

  • 6ltr | $149.99

ONLY ONE 6ltr bottle of Miraval Rosé exists in VT and we have it so when it is gone, it is gone.

 

 From miraval-provence.com:

APPELLATION:  A.O.P Côtes de Provence

VARIETAL:  Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Rolle

TERROIR:  Issued from the Château’s best parcels (Muriers, Longue,
Romarin), and from selected parcels in the best terroirs of
Provence. Clay & Limestone vineyard, partially in teraces located
at an average of 350 meters. Cool climate for the area with
big temperature swings between night and day.

VINIFICATION:  The grapes are harvested exclusively in the morning and sorted twice. Destemming. ‘Pressurage direct’ for
Cinsault, Grenache and Rolle. The Syrah is vinified
partially using the «saignee» method. Vinified in
temperature – controlled stainless steel vats (95%)
and in barrels (5%) with batonnage.

TASTING NOTES:

Gorgeous pale pink color with soft and shiny
reflections.  This Crisp and precise 2015 has a lovely mineral
freshness with delicate aromas of citrus, red fruits
and white flowers.   On the palate the terroir reveals a pretty balanced and elegant volume along with a very nice tension
bringing length. The bouquet of aromas is persistent leading to
a long lasting fruity finish with an undertone salty
character.

Switchback Connector IPA

Switchback Connector IPA has made the leap from brewery to Bevie!

Wrap your mitts around these bottles while you can, supply is limited.  $5.99 | 22oz

 

From switchbackvt.com:

Connector IPA

  • First Sold: April 2015
  • Availability: Limited
  • 6.2% ABV
  • 65 IBU
  • Unfiltered and 100% Naturally Carbonated

Connector IPA is Switchback’s first and long awaited IPA! Light in color and body, the beer is designed to showcase the hops delicious medley of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine characteristics. Following a huge late addition of Citra hops at the end of the brewing process, we dry hopped this beer with a massive amount of Mosaic and Centennial hops. The result is a lively, refreshingly hoppy IPA that finishes dry with a quick hit of bitterness that fades quickly and invites you back for another sip.

Our Connector IPA is named after “The Southern Connector” road that has been debated for over 52 years and would connect the south end of Burlington to Route 7. The world’s tallest filing cabinet created by local artist, Bren Alvarez is located a few hundred yards away from the brewery on Flynn Ave and was constructed to represent the bureaucracy of the project.

All Switchback beers are brewed in Burlington, Vermont and are carbonated during fermentation by the yeast itself resulting in a 100% naturally conditioned beer. After aging, we simply move the beer to the keg or bottle, leaving it unfiltered for the freshest, fullest, most natural flavor possible.
