Recommendation
The impressive Italian Tasca d'Almerita Winery

Established in 1830, the estate is best known for its characterful wines made from the best local grapes. "From top to bottom this is an impressive set of wines from Tasca d'Almerita. The estate seems to have honed in on a refined style across the entire range." by Robert Parker.

Sweet candied fruits, herbs and flowers meld together
nicely in this polished, mid-weight red.

palate is well-integrated tannins, lingering fruit and
white chocolate.

Tasca d'Almerita Nozze d'Oro Contea di Sclafani DOC
2009/2010
Robert Parker 90 points (Vintage 2009)
Intense floral aromas and honeyed fruit flavour, richly-textured, yet soft in mouthfeel. Good companion to seafood dishes.
Authentic Shochu Sora to Kaze to Daichi to

Genshu shochu demonstrating a pure flavour imbued with an incomparable charisma.

"Kyoya Sora to Kaze to Daichi to Imo Shochu 42%" is made from refined "Yamadanishiki" rice koji and Beni Kotobuki, a kind of sweet potato from Miyazaki prefecture. Fermentation is brought to maturity in traditional large barrels. An authentic shochu which unites the original pure flavour of undiluted shochu with a crisp taste.

Cellar of the month
Pursuing the best - Viña Luis Felipe Edwards

The business philosophy of Viña Luis Felipe Edwards is to energetically invest in the best vineyard sites, vines,
employees and equipment. In 2011, the winery was honoured with "Gold Medal for Family Selection" by the
Decanter World Wine Awards.

Luis Felipe Edwards LFE 900 2008
Robert Parker 90 points
The highest commercial vineyards in Colchagua at a staggering 900 meters above sea level, LFE 900 is a patchwork of grape varieties, rootstocks, soil types and microclimates - a truly unique set of conditions for growing grapes of "Grand Cru" quality in Chile.
On the nose is very intense cherry, violets, raspberry and chocolate; while the mouthfeel is powerful, featuring
velvet tannins with a great length.

Luis Felipe Edwards Doña Bernarda Blended 2009
This wine has been made in small quantities from the highest quality grapes grown on the very best vineyard plots.
Intense and juicy, it offers a core of pure cherry and cassis coated in fine-grained tannins.

Luis Felipe Edwards Late Harvest Viognier Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Fresh floral notes, with flavours of honey, apricots, and a touch of golden raisins.
Glamorous gold May

Gold, which is an emblem of fortune and preciousness, has always been adored. In May, city'super has selected
a series of "Gold" sake which are perfect gifts for your kith and kin, or even for yourself!

"Hamada Umekinzan Umeshu with Gold Leaf", infuses gold leaves into premium umeshu to produce a glittering appearance.

"Tenju Kenjuhai Honjyozo", a mild Honjyozo mixed with beautiful gold leaves. An excellent choice for celebrations.

"Born GOLD Junmai Daiginjyo", deliberately unfiltered which results in a charming golden yellow colour. Fruity
and full of mineral aromas.
