🍻 It's finally here! 🍺
After a year in barrels, we can finally announce Downtown Spirits' long-awaited collaboration with Reuben's Brews!
We proudly introduce SILK AND PEARLS
Made to celebrate both of our 12th Anniversaries, we placed Reuben's Award Winning Barleywine in a Woodinville Bourbon Barrel and a Castle & Key Rye Barrel for a year, which brings us to this 14% ABV pair of big, boozy treats we present to you today!
Available at both Downtown Spirits and Esquin, topped with wax hand-dipped by our staff, they are a perfect gift for the beer lover in your life this Christmas! 🎁

🍷 Brian's Featured Wine: Lionel Faury Syrah "Les Hautes Ribaudes" 2023 – Now $23.99!
Got a hankering for exceptional Syrah? Lionel Faury delivers in spades. This small, family-run winery is a secret weapon for those “in-the-know,” crafting stellar Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and St. Joseph wines that fly off the shelves.
From high-elevation vineyards in Collines Rhodaniennes, “Les Hautes Ribaudes” showcases everything you love about Northern Rhône Syrah:
✨ Brambly blackberry and cracked black pepper on the nose
✨ Fresh, vibrant fruit on the palate
✨ A delicate earthiness on the finish that screams terroir
Perfect with turkey (hello, holiday dinner!) or your next cozy meal. At just $23.99, this single-vineyard gem won’t last long. Don’t miss out! Pick up your bottles in-store at Esquin or online at https://bit.ly/4fIcCqm!
🌟 Featured Wine: Pedro Parra Cinsault "Imaginador" 2020 🍷
✨ 91 points from VINOUS – and for good reason. This bold and beautifully crafted red is a celebration of Guarilihue’s granite soils and 55-88-year-old vines. Think juicy pomegranate, earthy charm, and a subtle jammy allure, all balanced by fine-grained tannins that keep you coming back for more.
Pedro Parra’s meticulous winemaking preserves the pure essence of the land, showcasing vibrant fruit and savory depth. It’s not just a wine—it’s a hidden gem, as rare and soulful as a vintage guitar find. 🎸
🍷 Perfect for dinner with friends or savoring solo. Snag a bottle (or two!) in-store at Esquin or online at https://bit.ly/4en1j5t while it lasts!

✨ MS Brian Cronin's Featured Wine: Champagne José Michel “Chapitre” Brut Pinot Meunier - Now $58.99 ✨
"Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles, and lots of drops to drink!" 🍾 (Willy Wonka, paraphrased… slightly better 😉)
No need for a special occasion to pop open this beauty – treat Champagne like any other wine, and trust me, you’ll thank me later!
If you know me, you know I’m a HUGE fan of Pinot Meunier-based Champagnes. Why? Because they have this incredible vibrant texture – crisp yet creamy. 🍋🍒 They pair perfectly with a wide range of cuisines and are still among the most hand-crafted Champagnes out there.
One of my all-time favorites is the José Michel “Chapitre” Brut. This seventh-generation family of grower Champagne makers is next level. The “Chapitre” has a nose full of lemon curd and cherries, a creamy yet refreshing palate, and a savory citrus finish that makes me crave Pasta Limone. 😍🍝
Pick up your bottles in-store at Esquin or online at https://bit.ly/40KBZTx. Seriously, it’s perfection in a glass. 🥂

🍺This week's brews "In The Cooler" would be better titled IT CAME FROM THE COOLER, as we showcase some Halloween beers from Great Notion Brewing!

Next up is Boo Berry Muffin, a blueberry and marshmallow tart ale that has long been one of Great Notion’s spooky season staples.
Sure to be one of your favorites is Orange Screamsicle, the disturbed sibling of Orange Creamsicle. It's specially brewed with orange, tangerine, vanilla, coconut cream, and milk sugar.
Finally is Little Haus of Horrors, a double IPA collab with Living Haus Brewing.
