3 Packs

Wine is confusing. We get that.

But we firmly believe the best way to learn about wine is to just drink it. So every other week we'll put together a different "3-Pack" focused on a grape, a region, or some other theme. Each pack features 3 bottles, tasting notes, and food pairing suggestions. We can’t think of a better way to learn about wine.

	Naughty and Nice 2-Pack
	You can have it both ways with this 2-Pack. We pair up the devilishly good Velvet Devil Merlot with an orange wine made by actual nuns. The Velvet Devil speaks for itself, but a word on the orange wine… it’s a white wine that gets a lot of skin contact, resulting in extra structure and exotic notes of spice, incense and peach skin. Sort of like midnight mass in a bottle. Pack includes: The Velvet Devil 2010 (Columbia Valley, Washington) Coenoblum Rusticum Vino Bianco 2009 (Lazio, Italy) Price: $40

	NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION SUGGESTION: Get to Know a Grape
	Old World/New World 2-Pack – Bordeaux Blend: Bordeaux vs a Bordeaux blend from South Africa. Which one will win? We bet both. Pack includes: Chateau La Croix Romane Lalande de Pomerol 2008 (Bordeaux, France) De Toren Z 2008 (Stellenbosch, South Africa) Price: $60

	Cocktail Kit
	The Not-So-Classic Not-Champagne Cocktail Kit (a.k.a. The Kir Florale): All boxed up and ready to go, this could be the perfect gift for your favorite budding mixologist, bar chef, or whatever they want to be called these days. This kit includes everything you need to make Nick’s not-so-classic take on a classic Champagne cocktail. It’s the perfect accompaniment to brunch, with just a little sweetness, a hint of berry fruit notes from the cassis, and a lovely floral lift from the Elderflower Liqueur. And bonus – the bottles are really, really pretty. Each kit includes 1 bottle each: Pierre Chermette Crème de Cassis Chase Elderflower Liqueur Vullien Sparkling Vin de Savoie + a recipe card Price: $65

	Cocktail Kit
	Old Tom Negroni Kit: For those who think Negronis are so last year, we have a new twist to make you fall in love all over again. This kit includes the makings of Nick’s Old Tom Negroni. The extra rye bite of the Old Tom Gin is counterbalanced perfectly by the Martelletti Vermouth. OK purists, we know we should be using red vermouth, but the Martelletti’s moscato base plays so nicely with the Old Tom that it’s worth playing a little fast and loose with a classic. Each kit includes 1 bottle each: Ransom Spirits Old Tom Gin Martelletti Vermouth Classico Campari + a recipie card Price: $80

	Cocktail Kit
	The Dark & Stumbly Kit: You’ve heard of The Dark & Stormy: Dark rum + ginger beer. Well, Nick’s version is just a little more potent. We can’t sell you the beer (NY laws and all that) but this kit includes the other necessary ingredients. Each kit includes 1 bottle each: Gosling Black Seal 151 Black Rum The Kings Ginger Liqueur + a recipie card Price: $70

	Some Like it Dry
	Not all Riesling is sweet. If you don’t believe it, try this 3-PACK that highlights dry Rieslings from around the world. Now, yes, some of these wines may have flavors that give the impressions of sweetness (honey, tropical fruit, maybe even citrus depending what your palate considers “sweet”.) But in the technical sense of the world, these wines are as dry as can be – meaning they have no residual sugar to them. It’s all been converted to alcohol during the fermentation process. You can call these wines fruity, you can call them floral, you can call them a lot of things (we like to call them crisp and refreshing.) But you can’t call them sweet. 3-Pack includes: Ravines Dry Riesling 2010 Clemens Busch Riesling Trocken 2009 (Mosel, Germany) O’Leary Walker Polish Hill Riesling 2008 (Clare Valley, Australia) Price: $50 No further discounts on this item
