Wine Enthusiast 91 Best Buy

Fresh and fruity aromas of black raspberry, red flowers and star anise are juicy and fun on the nose of this bottling. There is ample tension to the palate, where the snappy red-fruit flavors are lifted by sage brush and fennel pollen. — Matt Kettmann


James Suckling 91

Aromas of ripe blackberries and blueberries with fresh violets, dark spices and hints of sandalwood. Medium- to full-bodied with a crunchy, berry-soaked character, freshened with vivid acidity and floral undertones. Flavorful finish. Drink or hold. - James Suckling


Food Pairing: grilled steak, barbecue, or lamb, salmon, mushroom risotto or mushroom pizza, sharp cheddar, gruyere, aged goat cheese. The wine's fruity notes also complement brie. Great with charcuterie boards.

New: Meili Vodka


Proof: 80


Meili’s founders, Jason Momoa & Blaine Halvorson, are two brothers cut from the same cloth.

“Seven years ago, we noticed a void in the vodka industry. We felt nothing we tasted was particularly remarkable - and no one adequately addressed the need for sustainability within spirits. As a result, we created Meili Vodka.


We craft Meili using pure (Aquifer/Spring) water - needing zero treatment or filtration, combined with hand-selected grains from our farms in Montana. We distill only once, allowing the quality of our ingredients to shine as the showcase of our spirit - all in our 100% post-consumer recycled glass bottle.


After winning Triple Gold at the Global Vodka Masters competition and a perfect 100 point score at Proof Awards, we’ve created the best-tasting and most sustainable vodka on the planet with Meili - and we’re thrilled to share that with you.”



Jason Momoa and Blaine Halvorson have masterfully combined the elements of fire, water, earth, and air to create Meili — a vodka unlike any other. Crafted with the purest mountain spring water and locally sourced grains, the liquid undergoes a single distillation process to maintain its smooth, natural essence. Aged in the crisp mountain air and bottled at 40% ABV, the spirit offers a vibrant, refreshing, and versatile taste - perfect for any occasion.


Meili has been honored with an impressive SEVEN GOLD MEDALS and TWO PERFECT 100 SCORES - a testament to its exceptional quality. There's a new vodka in town, and its name is MEILI.


Pairing: This vodka is so super smooth and velvety, there is no need to add anything else to it but you can also use it in your favorite cocktail.
