White
Dolce
California
$70 (375 ml)
The pure luscious gold of this dessert wine reflects the obsessive focus of America's only winery dedicated to a single late-harvest wine. Started years ago by Far Niente, it now stands alone. Skip dessert and savor this.
RED
Penfolds St. Henri
Australia
$60
Call this "Baby Grange," hundreds of dollars less than the flagship but a lovely treatment of shiraz in its own elegant way. An Australian version of top-growth Bordeaux rather than a Rhone aspirant.
Whiskey
Jameson Gold Reserve
Old Irish Whiskey
Ireland
$60
A very fine, very old whisky so rich you should let it breathe a little. Patience will repay with wonderfully sweet and honeyed notes of nuts and vanilla.
