Released in 2024 to honor the 20th anniversary of the Oscar-winning film Sideways, this bottling offers cranberry, tarry rocks and dank sage aromas on the nose. The palate surrounds a core of raspberry and forest floor, relying on wild herbs to bring a savory side to the food-ready wine.

How To Serve

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
