Silverlake Wine

Fresh, aromatic, crisp, dry and minerally. Cucumber, white flowers, brilliant red fruit with moment of pink grapefruit. Constructed of 100% Grenache.

An ancient method for delicious bubbles-- primary fermentation is interrupted before the native yeasts have finished consuming the natural sugars, and they’re bottled before the carbon dioxide has dissipated. This tends to yield a wine less persistently bubbly than Champagne. This one has aromas of Christmas spice with raspberry and pomegranate on the palate- awesome!!

This really sweet dude named Jasper worked at Silverlake Wine for 10 years. He now has his own winery in China Town - this is his most popular wine.

Classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc characters with gooseberry, melon, passionfruit, citrus, and blackcurrant characters. The palate is fresh and juicy with loads of flavour, tangy acidity, and a lingering finish.

The Poller family has been making wine for more than 300 years, and accounts for the picture of Erwin Poller's grandfather, Johann, on the label — the first in the family to devote himself to wine exclusively. Erwin Poller farms his vines organically, and there's a concentration to this wine that lends a bit of gravitas, with a lemony acidity and nervy chalk-dust mineral grip that feels mouthwatering and fresh.

One of the most refreshing white wines on the planet. Goes straight to the dome. Crisp, dry, slightly effervescent, and light body with a pale yellow color and youthful, floral, citrus aromas, reminiscent of freshly cut grass. Intense palate with lemon, green apple, and peach.

This is a delicious wine blend of Chenin Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Verdelho. The wine is crisp, bright and delicious with notes of melon, peach, pear and orange rind. The finish is quite long and succulent. A great choice for patio weather or paired with spicy cuisine.

100% Pinot Noir fruit in this rather impressive wine for the price. Sourcing from mostly the Mendecino region as well as Sonoma. This wine offers ripe and pretty pinot fruit with great balance and freshness.

A ruby garnet color. Aromas of cherry custard, chocolate and delicate spice with a silky, dry yet fruity medium to full body and a roasted beet, vanilla cream, and dark berry finish. Nice purity of fruit and balanced oak.

La Goutte du Seigneur is wonderfully refreshing, with a fragrant nose exhaling aromas of wild strawberries, a thirst-quenching palate, and a superbly exuberant finish structured by silky tannins. Great to bring to BBQs and petanque games!

A thriller. Dry, juicy red spicy fruit. The explosive, sharp bubbles will put a smile on your face.

A lot of us have had the amaros from around the world, but Amaro Angeleno is a little different. They create spirits of "place." Which means that this particular iteration uses all botanicals from Southern California. It's SoCal in a bottle. These guys are serious about their spirits. It took like 20+ recipe combinations before they found this little baby.

Straight outta' Ventura, this is not your average gin. It's got a little more attitude. These guys go into the hills around the county to forage for the herbs and spices that go in to this special gin. It's super smooth with just the right amount of kick.

"La Luna Mezcal originates from one of the most agriculturally rich states in Mexico. Etucuaro, Michoacan, known as the "Cuna de Mezcal", is where the majority of artisanal mezcal in the state is produced. Tucked away in this mountainous and verdant region is the municipality of Villa Madero, the home to the Perez Escot family and Destiladora Las Azucenas. The Perez Escot brothers have been following their family practices of three generations to craft artisanal mezcal using traditional and biodynamic methods."

Tequila and I used to be friends. Tequila and I broke up in college. Tequila and I have since reconciled and have an understanding. If tequila tastes as good as this does, then tequila and I will continue to be friends.

When we think of this vodka, we think smooth. Smooth like freshly sanded wood. Smooth like the ice hockey rink after the zamboni has gone around 2 times. Smooth like your boyfriend coming over to your parents house for the first time with fresh flowers, a badass bottle of vodka, and kissing your mother on the hand while bowing at the waste saying, "Is that a Bosendorfer grand piano you have in the parlor?" Or "Is that 'Garcon a la Pipe' hanging above the mantel?." This vodka is like that.

Small batch is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot. One can never really tell if they are getting something truly "hand-crafted" and "small production." I can tell you, though, the people over at Reyka make small batch stuff. And it's not just small production, it tastes really good. Their master distiller is a local fireman and policeman for goodness sake. Talk about good people making good products.

Mulholland is an LA based project that ushered in a new wave of gin. This gin has cucumber and lavender and rose just to name a few botanicals. It brings freshness to a whole new level. Oh, and did we mention that it's gluten free? Yeah, this baby is 100% non-GMO, organically grown corn.

Super fresh, super natural, super affordable, super rare California rosé. Crisp, dry and minerally. A beautiful blend of Grenache and Mourvédre from the Central Coast of California. (Natural Wine)

We call this one the "Owl Rosé" - It's our most dependable rosé in the bunch. Extremely dry, crisp, minerally and favorite of the Silverlake set.

Chillable, 1L, Northern Italian

A very small wine operation that started in 2003. Touraine is a quaint provence of Northwestern France. A lot of really great Sauvignon Blanc is produced there. It tastes like a Sancerre with a little more of that New Zealand zip. Bright, fresh, citrus driven, and totally dry. Crush on a hot day.

100% Pinot Noir fruit in this rather impressive wine for the price. Sourcing from mostly the Mendecino region as well as Sonoma. This wine offers ripe and pretty pinot fruit with great balance and freshness.

A ruby garnet color. Aromas of cherry custard, chocolate and delicate spice with a silky, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a roasted beet, vanilla cream, and dark berry finish. Nice purity of fruit and balanced oak.

Carlos Basso delivers a medium bodied, deep purple, earthy, spicy, savory Malbec that over delivers. This is for you "Malbec Heads"

This juicy red displays notes of cherry, strawberry and sweet spice. Bright, mouthwatering acidity makes it especially food friendly and it will make the perfect dinner companion at your next pizza night.

This Pinot Noir is driven by crispy red fruits and a bit of minerality and spice and it is on the lighter/brighter end of the spectrum.

Organic & biodynamic. Elegant, red fruit & spice aromas. Vibrant, smooth and round on the palate with good intensity & length.

Finding a wine as tasty and versatile at this price is not an easy task, especially in Piemonte! Its fruit-driven flavors and soft tannins—not to mention the screw cap—make it a handy choice for casual meals and an all-purpose red for unpretentious cuisine. Marco often serves the Rosso with slices of homemade salame, but it also excels alongside dishes like pasta with red sauce, pizza, roast chicken, grilled meats, soft cheeses, and even rich stews. Simply put, don’t hesitate to open this one in any situation!

Easy drinking California Pinot

This offering from the partnership of the Parra brothers with top La Mancha wine producer Juan Antonio Ponce is characterized by a clean, refreshing citrus nose that shows restraint, whilst underlying minerality and floral notes delight.

The perfect white table wine.

Estenas Bobal is crafted from old Bobal vines averaging 50 years of age (some of them up to 100 years) located in the heart of Utiel-Requena on clay-calcareous soils. The wine is fermented in concrete tanks and raised in a mix of concrete and old American oak barrels. This 100% Bobal is medium-bodied and shows a mix of bright black and red fruits, spice, and minerals, while maintaining moderate alcohol and high acidity. The result is a red wine that’s friendly with a wide variety of meats, especially game – a traditional pairing is Gazpacho Manchego, and Valencian paella made with rabbit or chicken.

Rich / full bodied / organic

The Love Red grapes are harvested early to highlight the fruit and preserve the acidity. The Carignan is a combination of whole cluster and destemmed fruit from four 70 year-old dry farmed vineyards. The Valdiguié and Syrah were whole cluster. The wine was aged in a combination of neutral French oak barrels and concrete tanks.

Classic Wheat Vodka in the Russian style. Distilled 6 times for a smooth finish.

Distilled a total of 10 times, triple filtered, and bottled at 82 proof, this artisanal vodka has a clean, crisp, and fresh taste. Pure and crisp on the nose. The fresh and clean taste finishes with hint of soft vanilla. This is the way vodka should taste.

The Alameda based craft distillers need no introduction. But what you might not know is that their vodka is any thing but a run-of-the-mill offering. All Purpose Vodka is the offspring of thier Pear Brandy. Pears! From St. George Spirits: "To make our All Purpose Vodka, we distill our flagship pear brandy up to 95.1% ABV and blend the resulting distillate with a non-GMO base spirit." The pears are like a covert action team leaving only the effects of thier mission, and only a hint to the nature of the beast.

Made from 100% Non-GMO corn. Made locally. Made for you.

Kilchoman is family owned to the core. Daddy and two brothers run the day-to-day operations. They even grow some of their own malt on the small island the distillery is located on. They got their start in 2005 and they are killin' it. It's really smoky, kind of spicy, and so tantalizing.

American distilling is such an interesting thing. If we think about the fact that there was a time in US history that people were not allowed to drink. It just seems unfathomable. What's crazier is that many of these distilleries survived this era. Michter's had somehwat of a tulmultuous past of changing hands many times, being under different names, and ultimately being in strange financial positions. But now! Now, Michter's is one of the best there is. It is the golden standard for price and quality.

Reverend Elijah Craig was a Bourbon pioneer who is credited with being the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels. The Heaven Hill company dubiously credits him with the invention of "true Kentucky Bourbon" by improving the locally made distillate from an un-aged corn liquor through barrel-aging in charred oak casks. In the words of the late, great, Scott Hutchison, "Would you get old, old fashioned with me?"

Like no other whiskey ever. A rainbow of sweet fruit and flower aromas you can scarcely believe come from grain, and an amazing smoothness on the palate.

This is really a flavor bomb. Where some ryes tend too much towards the citrus and delicate flavors of the rye, this is a much more robust and richer flavor, speaking of Heaven Hill’s bourbon heritage. But make no mistake, this is still a rye whiskey, not a bourbon. The rye is present, but it is followed with vanilla, butterscotch and ripe bananas. It is surprisingly creamy on the tongue for a rye whiskey as well.

Wahaka Espadín Mezcal is an artisanal small-batch mezcal produced by Alberto Morales, 5th Generation maestro Mezcalero, in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. Señor Morales is not just the producer but also the owner of the brand. The Espadín is estate grown from 7-8 years before being harvested and cooked for 3-5 days in an earthen pit to prepare for the making of this beautifully soft and elegant mezcal.

This exceptional quality, premium tequila is an intense yellow color with straw-colored tones. It has a clear nose with agave, and its pleasant flavor recalls wood and raw agave notes. Aged in fine white oak casks, it is ideal for drinking straight or mixed in your favorite cocktail.

Imagine the best dark and stormy you've ever had. Now forget it. This will make the best dark and stormy you've ever had, hands down. It's dark, delicious, and has a kick. Dive right in!

When I was going through my now passed grandfather's liquor cabinets, I found an old bottle of Boodles Gin. I knew that he was a huge fan of the European spirit so I had to try it. It still makes the best gin and tonic I have ever had. Their recipe has not changed for over 100 years. It's what the British called 'proper.'

St. George has been distilling delicious alcoholic beverages since 1982. To put that in perspective, it's one of the first small distilleries established since the age of prohibition. They've survived all of these years because they make honest, tasty products that go above and beyond. Terroir is particularly interesting because the botanicals they use are all from Northern California. It's piney, sagey, and kind of citrusy. It's magical.

Like many good stories, this one starts with a family tradition. A tradition that dates back over 150 years. Hayman's is to this day distilled on the same copper pot still, Marjorie. It's the ideal combination of juniper, lemon peel, coriander, and more.

Distilled six times from 100% non-GMO corn, this 96 proof, gluten-free Gin brims with a bright cucumber and juniper bouquet.

Linie is the oldest aquavit brand in the world. It's sort of like a gin, but not really. What makes it cool and special is that it was discovered by accident. The Nordic people sent some of the original, not so great tasting stuff on a trip across the ocean for trade. The recipient was not please, so it was sent back home to Norway and it was discovered that it tasted better after the long journey across sea in barrel! So now, every batch of this stuff takes a long journey on the ocean to temper and create new flavor.

Bonal is kind of like if amaro and vermouth had a baby. A baby that is both tenderly sweet, but with a herby bitterness that has been produced since 1865. It can be enjoyed on its own, as a duet with a brown spirit, or replace sweet vermouth in most recipes.

Mix 2 parts Campari and 1 part seltzer in a tall glass with crushed ice. Garnish with an orange slice

1 bottle of chilled Prosecco 1 bottle of Aperol Soda, served from a syphon or chilled bottle Ice cubes Slices of orange While many believe the 3:2:1 method is the way to go, the team at Aperol told Silverlake Wine that we should be moving to the 50:50 method instead. They believe the new recipe enhances the flavour of an Aperol Spritz and also mirrors its Italian heritage. Fill tall balloon or wine glasses generously with cubed ice Combine Prosecco followed by Aperol in equal parts Add a splash of soda Garnish with a slice of orange – and an olive on a stick, if you're doing it the way they serve it in Venice.

Scrappy's is honestly the best bitters company out there. It is the perfect expression of the thing they put on the labels. These lime bitters are perfect for any cocktail or mocktail.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy a bloody mary or five on Sunday afternoons. There's nothing like a little bit of this bad boy to kick things up a notch or three.

Peychauds is produced in the same recipe originally used at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is slightly more fruit oriented than its other classic bitters counterparts.

This is what you need for old fashioneds.
