Seattle, WA; October 4, 2016: Gifts that won’t be re-gifted: Winter Seasonals from Merchant du Vin

-Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome - 27th annual release! America’s first imported winter seasonal beer is still the benchmark: deep honey gold; full body and wonderful malty richness; soft floral finish plus fruity notes from fermentation in open-topped stone vessels. (Yes, stone: “Yorkshire Squares” made of slate.)   Inviting, elegant,  satisfying! This year's label,  "Holiday Cracker,” shows a couple celebrating an English tradition: wearing paper crowns & pulling a cracker.

-Samuel Smith's Gift Box: The Samuel Smith’s Gift Box has one 18.7 oz. bottle each of Oatmeal Stout, India Ale, and Organic Chocolate Stout as well as a brewery-logo glass and two coasters. Brewery scenes and bottleshots highlight the box, but the items inside will delight any beer drinker: Samuel Smith’s has played a proud role in the US beer revolution.

-Lindemans Gift Box: *All new for 2016!* The Lindemans Gift Box has one 25.4 oz. bottle each of Pêche (peach),  and Framboise (raspberry) - the best-selling lambic in the US. Wild-yeast fermentation adds deep complexity to the brilliant real fruit aroma and flavors found here. Two gold-rimmed brewery-logo stemmed glasses are included; the box is full-color, with an open front that displays the bottles and glasses.
