Vermouth & Aromatic Wine

MIRO TARRAGONA, SPAIN Extra Seco Vermut de Reus #30151249 / 1L

DOLIN FRANCE Vermouth de Chambéry

This vermouth has a distinctly Catalan character, and embodies many of the savory flavors found in the famed olives of the region. Truly bone dry - with no added sugar - it is made with herbs sourced from the Pyrenees mountains and citrus of the Mediterranean. Its wine base of Airén (La Mancha) and Macabeo (Penedes) adds a nice minerality. Enjoy neat chilled or in a classic 1:1 martini.

Rojo Vermut de Reus #30151246 / 1L Medium-sweet Miro Rojo, whose wormwood note excites the front of the palate but allows the baking spices to show through, makes for a friendly Manhattan even with the most peppery or leathery of Bourbons or Ryes.

France’s only Appellation d’Origine Vermouth, Dolin is the last remaining producer of Vermouth de Chambéry AOC. Made from fine wine and botanicals found in the Alpine meadows above Chambéry. Imparting a fresh and elegant nose with a subtle, complex palate, Dolin Vermouths are notably lighter, drier and less pungent than their commercial counterparts. “If you’ve always thought vermouths were overpowering, then you’ll appreciate all three Dolins—they are lighter and more delicate than most.” —The Wall Street Journal Dry #30105119 / 750ml / 375ml 17.5% ABV and lightly sweetened. Distinguished by its light, fresh and clean profile, which comes from a delicate wine base and more than thirty Alpine herbs. Blanc #30105120 / 750ml / 375ml 16% ABV and slightly sweeter than the dry. “The crisp and clean Blanc, with its subtle sweetness is the stand-out.” 93pts The Tasting Panel Rouge #30105121 / 750ml / 375ml 16%ABV, made with more than 50 herbs. Firm and balanced without excessive sweetness or lingering aftertastes found in commercial products. Makes an exceptional Manhattan. Artisan vermouth Imbue is crafted in the northwest by small- batch producers and made with real ingredients – no adjuncts or essential oils, the finest Oregon Pinot Gris and freshly dried botanicals – some foraged in the wild, some farmed. These unique aperitif’s are designed to be enjoyed neat, but have proven themselves inspiring ingredients in craft cocktails. Bittersweet Vermouth #30135902 / 750ml Made from locally-grown Pinot Gris and brandy from Portland’s own Clear Creek Distillery, the Imbue is one of the most amazing new vermouths on the market. Full of the soft fruits from the wine, the bitter notes come through later. Not all that sweet, mostly crisp and delicious. Petal & Thorn Bitter Vermouth, Aperitif Wine #30135903 / 750ml A northwestern take on the bitter Aperitifs like Aperol & Campari. The base is Pinot Gris with an amped up use of bitter herbs, diminishing sweetness. Barrel aging is limited to a few months to preserve freshness and local beets are used for color. “Smooth and aromatic all-natural aperitif wine, …amaro-like bitters and notes of orange, herbs and spicy botanical.” 90pts The Tasting Panel IMBUE OREGON Vermouth & Aperitif Wine
