Enodelta di Caputo Lacryma Bianco 2024
$18.99
Owner and winemaker of Enodelta di Caputo, Antonio Caputo, was in his early 20’s when he jumped head first into wine in the 80’s making wine under his own label. Ever the innovator, he continued to push himself and took on the challenge of making aglianico, fiano, and greco; even though very few people at the time were bottling these varieties. Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio refers to a specific type of Italian wine. Lacryma, meaning "Tears of Christ of Vesuvius," is produced on the volcanic hills surrounding Mount Vesuvius in Campania. Caputo’s Lacryma Bianco is made from 85% coda di volpe and 20% falanghina. Done only in stainless steel, it’s fresh and savory with notes of citrus, salinity, and a mineral backbone.
Dumont Bourgogne Passe-tout-grains 2023
$30.99
Driven by a passion for Burgundy and the dream of making wine, Japanese Sommelier Koji Nakada left his native Tokyo in 1996 and moved to Beaune to study oenology at the prestigious CFPPA. The first thing he had to do was learn French. He enrolled in language class at Dijon where his teacher was Jae Hwa Park, an expatriate Korean. During Koji’s studies in Beaune, and during his subsequent internships, the two dated and then married. Together they formed Maison Lou Dumont, their artisanal micro-negociant domain in Gevrey-Chambertin, in 2000. The Passe-tout-Grains has been a long time favorite at Windsor Wine Merchants.

Gin & Mezcal
Saturday, May 2nd
5pm-8pm
Farmers Gin
$28.99
Certified organic by the USDA, Farmer’s Organic Gin possesses a unique taste due to its balanced selection of botanicals including hemp seed, which imparts a nutty, savory character. Hailing from Idaho, Farmer’s Gin is made with organic wheat grown on 1,000 Springs Mill Farm, a locally owned, third generation organic and non-GMO organization. The grain is then distilled at Idaho-based Distilled Resources Inc, where this extraordinary gin is infused with select botanicals.
Los Siete Misterios Doba-Yej
$40.99
Siete Misterios Doba-Yej is made from agave Espadin. Doba-Yej is Zapotec for agave Espadin, and they chose this name as this mezcal is different from the Siete Misterios Espadin. It is the first expression from Siete Misterios that is made in a copper still rather than the clay pot still seen in their other mezcals. The milling for this mezcal is also done by horse-drawn tahona, rather than by hand like the other Siete Misterios mezcal. As of 2024, batches were made in either Yautepec, Santiago Matatlán, or San Dionisio, Oaxaca. The labels feature a famous Mexican war hero and vary depending on which of the three areas it was produced. At one point, certain batches were coming from San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca as well.
