New Arrival - Vintage Calvados




Vintage Calvados

   I am very happy to announce the arrival of Lemorton's 1978 Vintage Domfrontais Calvados. You may recall my previous writing on Lemorton's Reserve Domfrontais Calvados (found here); wherein I believe I rhapsodized over the depth of flavor and complexity held within each bottle.

Calvados - Real Good

by Forrest Foster

Altura is an Italian restaurant. We spend much time researching and sourcing the finest Italian ingredients, wines, and spirits to present to each of our guests. We also save some of our efforts to showcase high quality products regardless of origin. This means Guy Kugel works hard to secure wines like the Signature Cuvee from Cristom, a classic Oregon winery, and it means Nathan Lockwood sampled foie gras from three different farms before settling on Rougie.
In my corner of things, I have found gems that represent some of the finest unique spirits from across the world.

Calvados


In this case, I’d like to talk a little about Calvados.
