The gown is on, the cap fits just right, cameras are flashing,
flowers are being carried and the excitement is all around.
College Graduation, a day to celebrate the
culmination of years of lectures, essays, projects, and of course late night
cramming sessions.
A proud moment for a parent and child, each taking a step back and
sighing with relief as they look towards the future.
"WE
DID IT!"
Wine and
Spirits are a great way to celebrate the efforts of our
graduates and gift them something to remember!
Our Wine Scouts have put together a list of bottles that are sure to
excite your graduate. Let’s clink those glasses together and celebrate their
hard work.
Bubbles to toast the grads! Schramsberg
is a Napa Valley institution and a wine many believe to be our Valley’s first
foray in to competing for bubble-supremacy with our Champagne counterparts
across the pond. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate graduation
than to gift a bottle of bubbles made in a traditional method but which finds
itself in a new world."

NV Krug Grand Cuvee
"Charles Krug was the very first winery
to produce commercially in the Napa Valley and has primarily been owned and
operated by the Mondavi family for nearly a century; having been passed down
from one generation to the next. It’s a wine that exemplifies family tradition
here in Napa and would be very appropriate to commemorate your own family
tradition. I recommend
gifting one bottle to celebrate the graduation and one bottle to open when they
get their first job!!"
- Lee Reinsimar, Wine Scout
2012 Pursuit Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
"This
is one of those wines that should be enjoyed with family and then left on the
mantle of a graduate as a constant reminder to always chase down their dreams
and a wish from the parents that all their future Pursuits be
successful!"
- Chelsea Slody, Wine Scout
Aberfeldy 12 year Single Malt Whisky Highland
"The golden dram!"
"I like to go Single Malt or Armagnac/Cognac on these. It gives a new grad an introduction to drinking beyond what they’re used to in collegiate partying. A gift that says; “Welcome to the World!”
- Micah Rochelle, Spirits Buyer
Delord 25 year Bas-Armagnac
"Imagine
your college’s library in a glass and you’ll be circling around the spirit of
this Spirit! Rich with
well-developed flavors and aromas of leather fig and toffee, this is a complex
spirit that is a great introduction to the world of brandy. Celebrate the next
step in life with a “next level” spirit!"
- Micah Rochelle, Spirits Buyer
Hazelburn 12yr Single Malt Whisky Campbeltown
"Age
and experience, but still a playful exuberance. What could be a better
whisky for a newly-minted graduate?
From the incredible Springbank distillery in Campbeltown comes this
approachable, easy drinking 12 year old Irish whisky.
The exploration into the finest things in life is just starting. They might as well get off on the right foot!"
- Micah Rochelle, Spirits Buyer
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE 2016 GRADUATES!
