World Class Italian Liqueurs

November 11, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Colonial Spirits, 87 Great Road
Acton, MA 01720 United States
+ Google Map

Not exactly local, but Caffo liqueurs are just the type of products that we love to promote.  Alessio and his family have owned small distilleries for generations and farm the natural ingredients that make their liqueurs so full of flavor and freshness.  Each brands' heritage has a story and Alessio will be here to tell it on a Saturday afternoon.  This is not a tasting to miss, even if liqueur isn't your regular drink.  Everything they produce is worth trying…

Monsieur Touton Wines Tasting w/ Joe

November 11, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Colonial Spirits, 87 Great Road
Acton, MA 01720 United States

Considered to be one of the "smaller" distributors in MA, Monsieur Touton is anything but. While many distributors look at creating long-term deals to get good pricing, Touton purchases whole lots to get the best pricing. This allows the winery/brand to open up space in the warehouse and work on new things. This also gives Touton the upper hand because very few people can beat their prices. Heidsieck Monopole Champagne, Agua de Piedra Malbec, and Tomaiolo are a few of their…

Come try an incredibly diverse range of Spanish ciders paired with foods that bring out their unique earthy, tart and sour qualities. The “sidra” will be paired with an assortment of charcuterie such as cured meats, olives, earthy cheeses, and even a fig almond torta.  Styles range from traditionals which are close to sour beer, sparklers reminiscent of Champagne, Prosecco & Albarino, to  a wild yeast fermented pear and sherry-like frost cider. Except for the dessert frost cider, all the…

Absolut Oak

November 17, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Titos Vodka

November 18, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Colonial Spirits, 87 Great Road
Acton, MA 01720 United States

Tito’s Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs and everyday drinkers alike. It is microdistilled in an old-fashioned pot still, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it’s well worth it.

Global Wine Inc, has been around for a while and we have been in business with for just as long. In that time we have seen brands like Marta's Vineyard, Flama D'or, and Wicked. Their most recent venture, and now ours, is the Le Versant. Le Versant is from Southern France, and like many of the wines from that region are varietally driven. With so many producers pushing oak flavors or other flavors (Bourbon), it is nice to see wines that…
