Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer

If you've ever had grain alcohol, it might have been in some terribly sweet punch containing Mountain Dew, a whole tub of Country Time Lemonade mix, and who knows what else. You might have sworn never to get within a city block of the stuff. In these weird times, this same potent liquor can be used as the primary disinfectant for homemade sanitizer (recipe below). To pre-order, click on the blue link below the image (delivery or pickup available).

Homemade Sanitizer Recipe
(Based on the ratio recommended by the CDC)
—0.67 cups (161 milliliter) of GRAIN ALCOHOL
—0.33 cups (79 ml) of emollient (Aloe Vera or Glycerin)
—essential oils for aroma (optional)
—Stir together until fully mixed

The alcohol in hand sanitizers lends those products their microbe-busting power, and the CDC recommends that sanitizers contain 60% to 95% alcohol in order to eradicate germs. Sanitizers work best on clean hands and may be less effective when hands are greasy or visibly dirty, according to the CDC. "We know it works — just make sure it has enough alcohol in it." Dr. Stephen Morse, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University in New York, told CBS News.

New to the shop!

New arrivals that we can't get enough of!
Sparkling Beaujolais with the perfect amount of sweetness, natural Barbera and Dolcetto from a biodynamic producer, and the most delicious white from the Loire that you've never heard of!

Sparkling Gamay from Beaujolais. Grapes are fermented in chilled vats until the alcohol reaches about 6% and after a light filtration, the wine is bottled and continues fermenting with the remaining yeasts, stopping at about 8%. On the nose there is a beautiful and fresh bouquet of cherry, strawberry, orange zest and cranberry, Quenching and crisp with a touch of sweetness. So much fun!

Biodynamic. 80% Barbera and 20% Dolcetto (a strain of it called Nibio). The fruit is destemmed, crushed and spontaneously co-fermented in old barrels with a maceration of about three weeks. The wine is aged in old 2000-3000-liter barrels. There is no sulfur added at any point. Bottles with a crown cap indicative of its intended glou-glou nature. (a great alternative to the out of vintage "Unlitro")

100% Romorantin. This grape is an ancient and now rare local Loire variety, essentially saved by Cazin and a couple of other growers who fought to save their old vines as well as the variety as a whole by establishing an appellation to feature exclusively Romorantin (Cour-Cherverny). Cuvee Renaissance is made only in best vintages. Fresh, mineral, and with a unique, tangerine-peel-like citrus note, this style is just off-dry and balanced with a focused beam of acidity.

Matrix Russian River Valley
Pinot Noir 2016
(Reg: $25 at ABC; ~$30+ at other stores!)

Hailing from the lauded 2016 vintage, this small production Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is an awesome value at $25, let alone $20 (Coupon Below)! The Matrix Pinot Noir is made from three Dijon clones and a Pommard clone, is aged 15 months in oak (20% new French), and is filtered, but unfined. Total production is only 248 cases!

The nose is inviting with brambly raspberry and earth notes. The palate is broad and smooth, with cherry and a hint of cocoa. The finish is quite dry, long lasting, and has a hint of spice. This wine clocks in at 14.9% Alcohol, so this is definitely a California Pinot through and through : equally generous with fruit as it is with alcohol. This would be a great compliment to soft cheeses, and can pair with grilled chicken while still standing up to a steak.

While supplies last!
