Old Rip Van Winkle 23-year-old Decanter
Just 1,200 decanters of Old Rip Van Winkle Family Selection 23-year-old bourbon whiskey are now available. Every barrel of whiskey was chosen from the lower, cooler floors of the aging warehouse, allowing this wheated-recipe bourbon to age more gracefully. This bourbon will not be chill-filtered, leaving in all the flavor and complexity of the whiskey. Each decanter will be bottled at the original barrel entry proof of 114.

2008 Lake Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc
The newly released 2008 Lake Sonoma Winery Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc showcases classic Dry Creek Valley character. Lake Sonoma Winery takes a minimalist winemaking approach with Sauvignon Blanc: gentle pressing, cold fermentation and storage in stainless steel, and no malolactic fermentation. Forward aromas of lemon zest, lime, kiwi and newly mown hay are accented by subtle notes of herb and juniper. Vibrant fresh lemon, lime and herb flavors lead to a long, crisp finish.
