Foreward<br />
In September 1967, my father Carmine D’Onofrio opened the family shoe import business<br />
in earnest with the signature location on Vancouver’s Commercial Drive, the focal point of<br />
the city’s Italian community. With an unwavering dedication to quality, value and service,<br />
Kalena’s Shoes thrived. Over the years, many in the Italian community voiced their opinion<br />
that with the containers of shoes already coming over from Italy, perhaps the family business<br />
should expand to include wines from the homeland. After all, the selection of Italian<br />
wines in the market at the time did leave room for improvement. In 1991, Stile Wines<br />
was born.<br />
The name ‘Stile’ ―pronounced ‘Stee-lay’ in Italian‖, corresponding to its English counterpart<br />
‘style’, was chosen not only to represent the stylish wines that became part of the portfolio,<br />
but also to reflect the culture of incorporating wine stylishly as part of enjoying life to the<br />
fullest.<br />
Over time, the list of highly regarded Italian producers working with Stile grew, to the extent<br />
that Stile Wines became synonymous with Italian wine. To this day, we are proud to<br />
say that we offer one of the very finest portfolios of Italian wine in Canada.<br />
Along the way, we have strived to add products from reputable producers from all over the<br />
world, always keeping in mind our goal of offering the absolute best possible quality and<br />
value. While we will undoubtedly always be viewed as an Italian specialist, we can now lay<br />
claim to being a truly diversified, international importer.<br />
My father passed away in 2005, but his spirit remains very much alive in all that we do.<br />
We are happy to know that the fine products that we bring to this special part of the world<br />
have brought joy and a real appreciation for the finer things in life to so many.<br />
With this in mind, we invite you to peruse the latest catalogue of fine offerings from our<br />
agency.<br />
Grazie e buon santé,<br />

ANDREW PEACE<br />
Founded in 1975, Bodega y Cavas de Weinert is located in Lujan de Cuyo,<br />
Argentina´s cradle for top quality wines. The original 1890 Spanish colonial building,<br />
reminiscent of an old winery owned by the family Otero until 1920, catches the eye by<br />
its beauty, inviting those who pass by to know what it guards inside.<br />
Don Bernardo C. Weinert, founder and owner, could be defined as an entrepreneur.<br />
Born in a small German colony in Southern Brazil, he built his name around<br />
international transport in South America. Fascinated by the world of wine, he decided<br />
to found his own winery in Argentina with one unconditional philosophy: producing<br />
high quality wines.<br />
VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA<br />
The business began as a vineyard in 1980, then became a full fledged winery in<br />
1995. The first year grape intake of 3,000 tonnes has grown steadily each year to<br />
the 16,250 tonnes crushed in 2003, ranking it 17th in Australia. The winery is 14th<br />
largest based on export sales volume.<br />
Designed and constructed by Andrew Peace, the winery has an emphasis on an even<br />
flow of must and juice, with minimal oxygen contact to ensure maximum quality and<br />
fruit flavour retention. Despite its size, Andrew Peace Wines remains a family operation,<br />
with great care and attention paid to all facets of wine production. The results<br />
are consistent, robust wines with all of the character and flavour that wine lovers<br />
around the world have come to expect from vineyards Down Under. The new 1 litre<br />
Tetra Pak wines are a particularly exciting venture.<br />

TWO HANDS<br />
BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA<br />
Two Hands is one of Australia’s most decorated wineries, making its most sought after<br />
wines. The ‘two hands’ are Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, who formed the company<br />
in 1999 with the clear objective of making the best possible Shiraz wines from<br />
prized Shiraz producing regions within Australia.<br />
Michael Twelftree’s background included years of exporting Australian wine to USA and<br />
Asia, while Richard Mintz was a former CEO of one of Australia’s leading cooperages in<br />
the Barossa Valley. The two old friends set out in 2000 with just 17 tonnes of fruit<br />
from the McLaren Vale and Padthaway wine regions. From the start, the wines were<br />
well received with a healthy stream of reviews, culminating with Robert Parker’s 2::4<br />
declaration of Two Hands as ‘the finest negociant operation south of the equator’.<br />
Two Hands concentrates its efforts on sourcing the best fruit from the best Shiraz vineyards<br />
in Australia, working with its growers on achieving the full potential from each<br />
individual site. The results speak for themselves.<br />

PIKES<br />
CLARE VALLEY, AUSTRALIA<br />
Englishman Henry Pike immigrated to South Australia in 1878, and settled<br />
in the small town of Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills. In 1886, he established<br />
the family brewing business called H. Pike & Co. This name became well<br />
known throughout South Australia for its quality beer, soft drink and tonic<br />
ale, and the company used the English Pike fish on the label, which remains<br />
to this day—a symbol of Pikes’ long heritage.<br />
The sale of the company did not end the family tradition. Henry Pike’s<br />
great grandson Edgar was well established in the wine industry, and his<br />
sons Andrew and Neil both followed in their father’s footsteps, establishing<br />
Pikes in 1984 in the beautiful Clare Valley. The winery and vineyards are<br />
situated in the historic and picturesque Polish Hill River sub region on the<br />
eastern side of the valley. The climate in this area is cooler and the soils<br />
are quite unique to the rest of the region, attributes that impart distinctive<br />
flavours and aromas to the wines.<br />
Riesling has become the flagship for which Pikes have become best known.<br />
Other varieties produced include Semillon, Viognier, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon and Shiraz. They have consistently met their goals of producing<br />
absolute top quality varietal wines—worthy of the longstanding distinctive<br />
fish logo that is still found on all Pikes wines.<br />

CHATEAU PECH LATT (100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC)<br />
LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON, FRANCE<br />
The first vines at Chateau Peach-Latt, planted by the monks from the Lagrasse<br />
Abbey that was founded by Charlemagne, can be traced back to 784 A.D. Today,<br />
Chateau Pech-Latt is a 325 hectare estate, of which 100 acres are<br />
planted with vines.<br />
The winery is proud to rank among the pioneers in organic farming, a choice<br />
which stems from their aim to preserve a well balanced and sound<br />
environment. The vineyard is sparsely fertilized, and if so, only with organic<br />
products. Pesticides, weed killers and other synthetic fertilizers are banned.<br />
Thus, Pech-Latt enables wine lovers to maintain a healthy way of life and<br />
discover, on site in Lagrasse, an ideal natural environment, isolated and spared<br />
from pollution.<br />

CHATEAU DE CARAGUILHES (100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC)<br />
Historically, the Corbières region has always been connected with winegrowers<br />
and the making of wine. As of the 12th century, the Abbey of Fontfroide was<br />
taken over by the monks of the Cistercian Order, highly skilled winegrowers who<br />
undertook to restore the art of the vine in the Corbieres once started by the<br />
Phoenicians and furthered by the Romans.<br />
So began the history of the domaine known as Caraguilhes. The famous chateau<br />
that one sees today was constructed in the early 17th century. The vines<br />
still grow in an ideal location known for its exceptional soil quality, with s mixture<br />
of clay and limestone. In 1935, the winery’s new owner became the only grower<br />
to refuse to use insecticides and weed killers or chemical fertilizers—well ahead<br />
of his time. Inspired by the same precision and philosophy, the same love of the<br />
soil and of authenticity, current owner Laurent Max continues this practice.<br />
Since 1990, the organic status of the wines of Caraguiles are formally guaranteed<br />
by ECOCERT.<br />

CANTINA TOLLO<br />
*** WINNER GRAN VINITALY AWARD ***<br />
ABRUZZO, ITALY<br />
Abruzzo is a land where great wine has been made for many centuries. Writers<br />
and poets have sung its praise since the times of ancient Rome. Natural splendour<br />
thrives in Abruzzo, a region which stretches from the mountains to the sea,<br />
and the only in Europe to devote a third of its territory to nature reserves. In this<br />
paradise, Cantina Tollo was founded over 40 years ago with a passion for producing<br />
quality wines that embody the culture of Abruzzo. The gentle breeze from the<br />
Adriatic creates a wonderfully mild climate over the hills of Cantina Tollo, as the<br />
perfect amount of rain and sun helps to produce their signature Montepulciano,<br />
Trebbiano and Cerasuolo wines.<br />
Tollo is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life through a promise that they have<br />
always kept—that its wines tell a story, through aroma, emotion and memory.<br />

PICHIERRI — VINICOLA SAVESE<br />
APULIA, ITALY<br />
The history of this firm is closely connected to the grandfather-figure Gaetano Pichierri,<br />
who farmed the fruitful vineyards of Primitivo. He refined his knowledge of winemaking<br />
in the wine growers' cooperatives of Sava, made famous by its oenologists Don Amerigo<br />
Mancini and Guido Calò. Right after the war, Gaetano guided the Pichierri family to<br />

LIBRANDI<br />
CALABRIA, ITALY<br />
The Librandi Winery is headquartered in Ciro Marina, a small Calabrian town on the<br />
Ionian coast, south of the Gulf of Taranto. The area is naturally suited to vine growing,<br />
boasting excellent soil conditions and a favourable geographic position close to the sea<br />
with the Sila Mountains in behind, guaranteeing premium contrast between day and<br />
night temperatures.<br />
Librandi has grown grapes for four centuries, and began bottling in the 1950s. Management<br />
is firmly in family hands, with some technical collaboration with Donato Lanati,<br />
Professor of Oenology at the universities of Torino and Florence.<br />
Librandi is very well known and highly regarded for the production of exemplary wines<br />
from native grape varietals, especially the most ancient of Calabrian vines, Gaglioppo,<br />
known as ‘The Black Prince’, which grows as an elongated cluster of blue-black grapes<br />
with bright reddish reflections. It is known for producing wines of lush fruit character,<br />
long body, and ripe, rich finish.<br />

FEUDI DI SAN GREGORIO<br />
CAMPANIA, ITALY<br />
Feudi di San Gregorio, a symbol of today’s rebirth of fine wine from the south of Italy,<br />
is dedicated to the rediscovery of the unique flavours of the Mediterranean. The<br />
crusade began in the mid-8:’s with the idea of rewriting the history of winemaking in<br />
the Irpinia region. The central concept was to invest in a real future for the great<br />
wines of the South by upholding local traditions and developing their latent potential.<br />
In other words, to take a fresh look at Campania and her native grape varieties—<br />
Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and Falanghina. Over the last ten years, Feudi di San<br />
Gregorio has come to represent the growing reputation of the wines of Irpinia.<br />
Ancient ties have been reinforced by a new interpretation of the potential of the<br />
south of Italy. The will and resources of two local families, united by a single passion,<br />
has breathed new life into this ancient land. These are modern wines with an<br />
ancient soul. They are authentic, while their traditional values are maintained<br />
through the use of modern technology, and impeccable quality standards.<br />

VELENOSI<br />
LATIUM, ITALY<br />
THE MARCHES, ITALY<br />
Ercole Velenosi is an award winning winery founded in 1984 in the Ascoli Piceno province<br />
of the Marches region. It is well known for producing the best wines in the region. The<br />
vineyards are hillside clay soil with excellent exposure. The respect for tradition is apparent<br />
in the vineyard management and winemaking techniques of consulting winemaker Attilio<br />
Pagli.<br />
"Il Brecciarolo" is from the tiny area within the province of Ascoli—the only zone where<br />
Rosso Piceno can take on the "Superiore" designation. Aged in neutral French oak barrels,<br />
it is a typical blend of 55% Montepulciano and 45% Sangiovese. The heartiness of Montepulciano<br />
dominates, while Sangiovese lifts the aromatics and brightens the wine. Currant<br />
flavors, ripe fruit and spices dominate. Produced with the same grape blend, “Roggio Del<br />
Filare” is ‘the big brother’, showing huge aromas and flavours in its profile.<br />

Stefano<br />
Farina<br />
Azienda Agricola Di Majo Norante is located to the north of the Gargano in<br />
Molise on the estate of the Marquees Norante of Santa Cristina. Since the<br />
1800’s its ancestors have dedicated themselves to vine cultivation (ancient wine<br />
cellars are located under the main town square and the old palace in<br />
Campomarino). In 1968, a modern canteen was constructed, along with the<br />
first replanted vines in the Ramitello zone. This zone has northeastern exposure,<br />
constant summer breezes, a light limestone soil, and a slope toward the<br />
Scabolone and Madonna Grande valleys, combining to create a very favorable<br />
grape growing environment.<br />
Di Majo Norante uses only estate grown grapes, cultivated without the use of<br />
chemical or synthetic additives, yielding a product that can be considered<br />
“biological”. Passion and love for the grapes are combined with the most<br />
advanced technology in farming methods and production facilities.<br />

growing area: Rocche, Villero and Garblèt Sue’ in Castiglione Falletto, and<br />
Ca’Mia and Brea in Serralunga d’Alba. Thus, the philosophy of Brovia is to propose<br />

MASCARELLO<br />
Damilano is one of the historical Barolo producing farms, founded over a century<br />
ago by Guiseppe Borgogno, The tradition was kept up by his son-in-law Giacomo<br />
Damilano and with his children, until it was passed on to his four grandchildren,<br />
who very attentively manage their forefathers’ land today. The wines<br />
are renowned for their upright style and the estate is widely appreciated due to<br />
the strictness and passion that accompany all of the company’s activities. The<br />
vineyards are situated in the most famous crus of the Langa region: Cannubi,<br />
Liste, Fossati and Brunate, which are almost entirely cultivated with Nebbiolo da<br />
Barolo.<br />
The members of the Giuseppe Mascarello family have been growing wines for<br />
more than 150 years in the prime Barolo region of Castiglione Falletto, including<br />
the prestigious Monprivato area. They have built on years of family experience<br />
to the present day Mauro Mascarello, who began in 1970 to vinify the<br />
grapes grown on each single vineyard separately, starting with the Monprivato<br />
Nebbiolo. In 1985, the efforts paid off with international recognition of the highest<br />
order. The 1978 vintage Barolo emerged as the best wine in the Forum<br />
Vinorum in London, with the only perfect score, and a ranking higher than not<br />
only 27 other Italian DOC and DOCG reds, but also 56 Châteaux, Grand Cru<br />
and Premier Cru producers, including such celebrated Château names as<br />
Petrus, Margaux, Latour, Lafite, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-Brion. To this<br />
day, the spectacular Barolos of Mascarello are highly decorated and well<br />
sought after by top buyers around the world.<br />

ARGIOLAS<br />
SARDINIA, ITALY<br />
Argiolas has firmly established itself as one of the very top producers from Sardinia,<br />
the newest critics’ darling region of Italy. Sardinia has followed in the footsteps of<br />
Sicily in making a name for itself through producing fabulously aromatic wines from<br />
indigenous grape varietals— at very fair prices.<br />
Argiolas’ history began in 1918, when Francesco Argiolas planted the first vineyard<br />
with the assistance of some returning Italian POWs. But it was Antonio Argiolas,<br />
whose great enthusiasm and experience in viticulture set the stage for greatness,<br />
buying new estates and setting up a modern farm. In the late 197:'s, Antonio’s sons<br />
Franco and Giuseppe reorganized the business in all aspects, from vineyards to cellars.<br />
They chose one of Italy's leading oenologists, Giacomo Tachis, who joined forces<br />
with oenologist Mariano Murru. Now three generations of the Argiolas family are<br />
together: patriarch Antonio (now 97 years old), his two sons and his grandchildren.<br />

FIRRIATO<br />
The Firriato winery near Trapani in the northwest of the island was founded in<br />
1985 by the Di Gaetano family and is the personification of the "New Sicily". Starting<br />
with the 1994 vintage, scrupulously selected, ripe grapes from low-yielding,<br />
hillside vineyards have been vinified by a team of local and antipodean winemakers.<br />
The only aim was quality, using indigenous Sicilian and international grape varieties.<br />
Seven years with continuous growth, global distribution, and many medals<br />
and awards under their belt ―including ‘Best Italian Winery’ by Luca Maroni in<br />
2007), Firriato truly is putting Sicily on the map!<br />

FERRARI<br />
TRENTINO - ALTO ADIGE, ITALY<br />
“The history of a wine lies in the history of the soil that nourishes the vines.” In<br />
1902, after several years studying winemaking and viticulture in France, Giulio<br />
Ferrari decided to challenge his French counterparts with his winemaking skills on<br />
his own land. In the process, he created a masterpiece.<br />
The leadership of Casa Ferrari was passed from the founder to the Lunelli family in<br />
1952. The names have changed, but the enthusiasm has remained the same.<br />
A century of history and Ferrari is the best selling, most recognized and most<br />
celebrated Italian spumante in the world. The year 2002 marked the 50th<br />
anniversary of the Ferrari-Lunelli hand off, and a new century has begun.<br />

TENUTA SAN LEONARDO<br />
The history of Tenuta San Leonardo dates back at least 1500 years, with the return<br />
of prisoners from Trentino, who erected a chapel in honor of the patron<br />
saint of prisoners, Saint Leonard. In the 12th century, the Fratres Cruciferi, an<br />
order with adherents all over Europe and which remained at San Leonardo until<br />
1656, expanded grape growing and adopted a modern approach to viticulture at<br />
the monastery. Today, the ancient monastery hospice, which once gave shelter<br />
to the destitute, is now the cellar where the wines mature in barrels.<br />
The estate has witnessed many historical events, including acting as headquarters<br />
in both world wars; first, of the high command of the Italian 29th army corps<br />
in WWI (Austria made a formal request for an armistice to be held on the<br />
grounds), and in the Second World War, of the counterespionage section of the<br />
German high command on the Italian front.<br />
Present owners the Guerrieri Gonzaga family have taken advantage of the specific<br />
terroir to create Bordeaux-inspired blended wines, under the guidance of<br />
master winemaker Carlo Ferrini and consultant winemaker Giacomo Tachis, who<br />
is considered to be a genuine maestro of Italian winemaking through his creation<br />
of some of Tuscany’s most influential wines from the 197:s onwards.<br />
This talented pair ensures calculated ageing—at least six months in large format<br />
Slavonian oak, then 24 months in small French oak barrels—and masterful blending<br />
of each contributing varietal. This is followed by at least one year of bottle<br />
ageing. The results are consistently nothing short of spectacular.<br />

approximately 27 hectares, divided into three different sub zones called Altesino, La<br />

largest part of the vineyards, as it is used for Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di<br />
Montalcino and Palazzo Altesi. Altesino has always been determined to produce<br />
wines of the highest quality possible; thus, the aging requirements for Brunello di<br />
Montalcino are even more stressed in the Altesino cellars.<br />

itself and 4 hectares in Buonconvento. More than 30 years have passed<br />
since the first rows were planted. Tenuta Caparzo aims to ensure top quality<br />

CARPINETA FONTALPINO<br />
TUSCANY, ITALY<br />
FATTORIA LAVACCHIO (100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC)<br />
Fattoria Lavacchio is an established organic farm, producing wine and olive<br />
oil in the Chianti Rufina region of Italy. Approximately 80 per cent of the<br />
vineyards are composed of selected clones of Sangiovese. The other red<br />
berry vines include mainly Merlot, some Cabernet Sauvignon and in the very<br />
young vineyards, some Syrah. All of Fattoria Lavacchio’s vineyards are<br />
100% certified organic by the European Union and Ecocert.<br />
Grape picking is carried out by hand according to old country traditions, for<br />
the best product quality. The limited production imposed by biological cultivation<br />
guarantees above all a better quality the year later. Products are<br />
only proposed in vintage years in which they reach their best researched<br />
characteristics. The composition of the land, rich in structure and marl,<br />
together with the climate of the area, contribute to the high quality level of<br />
our wines. These are recognizable for the typical mark which links this to<br />
the production territory.<br />

The Carpineta Fontalpino vineyard has been owned by the Cresti family since the<br />

area with trees with silver backed leaves characteristic of the area), and FONTAL-<br />
PINO (the fountain with the pine trees of Montaperti). The vineyard is located in<br />
the heart of Tuscany close to Siena, in a region that is rich in history, legends and<br />
love. The owners are sister Gioia—the oenologist—and brother Filippo—the vineyard<br />
cultivator and business director. They are aided by the rest of the Cresti<br />
family. With 19 hectares under vines, the winery has the luxury of a large selection<br />
of quality grapes to choose from to meet their consistently high standards.<br />

MIONETTO<br />
THE VENETO, ITALY<br />
Few lands identify themselves like Valdobbiadene so totally and directly with a<br />
completely special "drinking philosophy". Try, for example, tasting a glass of<br />
Prosecco - the most renowned "offspring" of these hills. You will feel that you have<br />
been projected into a world which you believed lost forever, where life still proceeds<br />
at a liveable pace and where values remain unchanged: equilibrium and<br />
lightness, elegance and genuineness, delight in getting together and enjoying life.<br />
From Prosecco to Cartizze and many other straightforward, generous wines -<br />
the fascinating history of the vines and wines of Valdobbiadene has trodden a long<br />
path, but it has always been true to itself. You only need to travel along the<br />
Prosecco Road - the first enological route to have been created in Italy - to be<br />
aware of it all. In these places, the savours, nature, everything is still authentic<br />
and incomparable. It is in this land and with this singular tradition that an equally<br />
unique entrepreneurial story has become associated: that of the Mionetto family.<br />

In 1992, Bottega diversified to create Il Vino dei Poeti (Poets' Wine). These<br />

have elevated this winery to the next level. Unique wines such as moscato,<br />
prosecco, and fragolino are the Cantina dei Poeti’s most beloved wines.<br />
Bottega’s Artist edge is clearly expressed in the exceptional presentation of its<br />
products, which invite one to taste the wines.<br />
Ca’ Rugate, established by the Tessari family in 1986, takes its name from the<br />
volcanic hills where most of the vineyards are to be found. The Ca’ Rugate vineyards<br />
cover 40 hectares, 30 of which are located within the commune of Monteforte<br />
d’Alpone in the rugged heart of Soave Classico, with 1: hectares in the<br />
commune of Montecchia di Crosara in nearby Valpolicella. Ca’ Rugate uses only<br />
indigenous grape varieties such as Garganega, and Trebbiano di Soave for white<br />
wines; and Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone for reds.<br />
The Soave wines of Ca Rugate are unique, produced from 100% Garganega<br />
grapes, without blending in Trebbiano or other inexpensive grapes, as is done for<br />
most Soave wines. They also utilize single vineyard production, resulting in wines<br />
that are among the best of their kind, with full, fresh fruit and hints of almonds.<br />

The land on which Anna Spinato’s grapes are grown has been used for that same<br />
purpose since the 12th century. Wine was first produced there, on the banks of<br />
the Piave River, by the monks of the Sant’ Andrea Abbey. Even the Spinato logo tells<br />
of the family’s “passion and love for our culture and the tradition of winemaking.”<br />
Today, the wines reflect all the elegance and unpretentious sophistication that Anna<br />
Spinato herself is so well known for. From its most famous to its less well known<br />
yet no less extraordinary bottlings, Anna Spinato wines have been awarded medals<br />
at such events as Vinitaly, the Japan Wine Challenge, and MIWine of Milan. Indeed,<br />
the popularity of Anna Spinato’s wines is such that Spinato corks are embedded<br />
with a special microchip that guarantees the authenticity of every bottle.<br />

MORGENHOF<br />
STELLENBOSCH, SOUTH AFRICA<br />
The beautiful Morgenhof farm has a long and storied history that begins in<br />
1692, when the French Hugenots arrived in the Cape in the 1860s. Many with<br />
winemaking experience came from La Rochelle, the traditional export harbour<br />
for the famous brandies of Cognac. This came full circle in 1993 when Mrs.<br />
Anne Cointreau-Huchon of Cognac purchased the farm, bringing with her a<br />
tremendous wealth of knowledge and expertise. Morgenhof Wine Estate, which<br />
consists of 212 hectares (67 under vine), enjoys the prime location of the<br />
southwestern slopes of the Simonsberg mountains in the Stellenbosch district,<br />
where direct afternoon sun and cool sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean<br />
produce high quality grapes.<br />

CHIMNEY ROCK<br />
The story of Chimney Rock is entwined with the story of Napa Valley's Stags<br />
Leap District, home to some of the most elegant Cabernet Sauvignon produced<br />
on American soil. The winery's beginnings hark back to the original<br />
owners' love of Bordeaux. When the late Hack Wilson and his wife Stella<br />
retired after a long career in the beverage industry, they decided to fulfill a<br />
life-long passion and began searching for a winery. Their search started in<br />
South Africa, their home, and continued in France. In 1980, a 185-acre<br />
estate located on the Napa Valley's Silverado Trail and occupied by a golf<br />
course called Chimney Rock, captivated the Wilsons and they decided to<br />
make it home. By this time, the Stags Leap area was already gaining worldwide<br />
attention and acclaim for its Cabernet Sauvignon.<br />

NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA<br />
Nestled high in the Eastern Hills, Rutherford Hill Winery commands a spectacular<br />
view overlooking the Rutherford bench of Napa Valley. It is from a handful of the<br />
most select Napa vineyards that Rutherford Hill continues its tradition of crafting<br />
legendary wines. In 1976, while the rest of the world was just beginning to take<br />
notice of Napa Valley, the founders of Rutherford Hill recognized a unique opportunity.<br />
They believed that the climate and soil of the valley, similar to Pomerol, were<br />
well suited to Merlot and were among the first to pioneer what has become<br />
Napa's premier varietal. Today, this tradition of quality continues, expressed by<br />
wines of great complexity and character.<br />

DISTILLERIA BOTTEGA<br />
SPIRITS<br />
THE VENETO, ITALY<br />
Distilleria Bottega was set up in 1977 by Aldo Bottega, a master distiller with over 30<br />
years of experience. The distillery began modestly, operating in the local grappa market. In<br />
1983, with the death of its founder, son Sandro took on the management of the company<br />
with the assistance of siblings Barbara and Stefano. In a few years, Distilleria Bottega left<br />
its anonymity, thanks to an innovative distillation system that makes grappa mellower and<br />
more delicate. In 1987, the Alexander brand joined Bottega; this new brand is intended for<br />
those consumers who have developed a much more educated and refined palate.<br />
All Alexander Grappa has its origin from very fresh and vinous marcs that are distilled in<br />
copper stills following the steam distillation in order to guarantee the highest quality. The<br />
Venetian blown glass bottles, designed by Sandro Bottega, are the ideal container to view<br />
the clarity and transparency of the Alexander Grappa. They were also the object of a<br />
prestigious international exhibition called “Art in Grappa”.<br />

<strong>SPRING</strong>BANK DISTILLERS<br />
SPIRITS<br />
Springbank Distillery is a true original in many regards. It is the oldest distillery<br />
in Scotland that survives in the ownership of its founders, the Mitchells,<br />
Scotland’s senior distilling family. The present distillery was built in 1828 on<br />
the site of the previous illicit distillery of Archibald Mitchell. Springbank is the<br />
signature producer of Campbeltown, one of the five recognized production regions<br />
of scotch. It has its own unique and delightful nuances which make it<br />
among the world's best single malt producers.<br />
Springbank is unique amongst Scotland’s distilleries in that all parts of the<br />
production process, from traditional malting to bottling, are carried out at the<br />
one location. Of note, it is the only distillery that has never used chill filtering<br />
and the addition of caramel to add back colour in the production of its fine<br />
malts, ensuring that the essential oils, esthers and proteins are maintained in<br />
the product, guaranteeing whiskies of the finest pure aroma and flavour.<br />

MAGELLAN<br />
SPIRITS<br />
In 1519, five ships led by Ferdinand de Magellan set out to circumnavigate the world<br />
and explore ‘the spice islands’. Three years later, only the ship Victoria returned to<br />
Spain, with 18 people and hundreds of cloves. Sadly, Magellan, who died in battle<br />
during the voyage, never saw the results of his spice discoveries. Those spices inspired<br />
the creation of gin as we know it, and it is to cloves in particular that Magellan<br />
Gin owes its inspired taste.<br />
Created by spirits guru Michel Roux, Magellan Gin is made in small batches in Cognac,<br />
France from triple-distilled neutral spirits, spring water and 11 freeze-dried botanicals,<br />
a mix that includes cloves. During the fourth and final distillation, the gin is<br />
infused with deep-blue Iris petals. The result is a sensationally flavorful, 88 proof spirit<br />
with a captivating, light blue tint. That’s right—the blue is not the bottle. It’s the gin!<br />
Magellan Gin is a bona fide headliner. The gin has a supple,<br />
medium-weight body and an engaging bouquet laced with the<br />
aromas of flora, citrus and spice. It has a delightfully soft entry that quickly entertains<br />
the mouth with a fanciful array of tantalizing flavors. The finish is cool and crisp.<br />
Martini savvy haunts will want to be the first on their block to carry<br />
Magellan Gin. It was created with a cocktail glass in mind. Great looks<br />
and an incomparable taste make Magellan unbeatable.<br />

MEXICO<br />
In 1896, Don Celso Plascencia had a dream. A humble working man born in the<br />
highlands of Jalisco, he worked the land, and as he traveled to and from the fields<br />
that belonged to others, he promised that one day, his family would own their own<br />
estate and make their own tequila, the spirit of Mexico. 100 years later, Don<br />
Celso’s grandson, Raul Plascencia, fulfilled his grandfather’s dream. An entrepreneur,<br />
Raul saved his money and, investing with others, opened Destiladora San<br />
Nicolas in 1998. The distillery blends tradition with technology, creating tequila as<br />
it has been made for generations, using the best blue agave, the clearest water,<br />
and time. They bring the process into the 21st century with a state-of-the-art facility<br />
and modern standards. Don Celso’s dream is now a reality—his vision and heart is<br />
in Corazon Tequila.<br />

consumers picked Kulmbacher as the best Pils in Germany. In Kulmbach, the<br />
center of the country—not far from the western border of old Bohemia—the<br />
best balance between the malty and hoppy elements of a classic Pils is<br />
achieved.<br />

San Francisco’s famous Anchor Steam, the classic of American brewing tradition<br />
since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of<br />
brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavour all testify to its<br />
traditional brewing methods. Anchor Steam is unique, for its brewing process has<br />
evolved over many decades and is like no other in the world.<br />
The ‘steam’ reference comes from the fact that the brewery started with no way to<br />
chill the boiling wort, so they pumped it to large open-top bins on the roof for it to be<br />
chilled by the cool air blowing in off the Pacific Ocean. Thus while brewing, the brewery<br />
had a distinct cloud of steam around the roof let off by the wort as it cooled.<br />
