Gifts for Every Taste

Finding the perfect gift doesn’t have to be stressful. At our store and online, you’ll find something for everyone on your list. From adventurous drink enthusiasts to your cozy-at-home friends, here are our top picks:

  • Beers:

    • Below Brew Co’s Unruly AF: brewed with top-of-the-hops trio, Citra, Mosaic, and Idaho 7. All the fresh hoppy flavors with notes of citrusy peach ice tea.

    • Mash Gang’s Cold Coast: made from premium hops and malts, this brew offers the refreshing taste of a traditional Pilsner with a lighter alcohol level.

  • Wines:

    • Bolle’s Blanc de Blancs: an expressive bouquet of crisp apple, juicy pear, zesty citrus, and a whisper of toasted notes released by the fine bubbles.

    • Bolle’s Rosé: fine bubbles release an expressive bouquet of white strawberry, red berries, blackcurrant, violet, and a hint of fresh herbs.

    • Sovi’s Reserve Red: an intriguing blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Petite Sirah fermented in stainless steel, with Petite Sirahaged in French and American oak barrels.

    • Misty Cliffs’ Sauvignon Blanc: a thirst-quenching Sauvignon Blanc with beautiful acidity, from vineyards in the town of Darling, South Africa.

  • Gift Cards: Still unsure? A gift card is a perfect way to let them pick their favorite!
