LE COCHON WINE BAR & BISTRO 201 S. 3rd Street, Geneva, Illinois 60134

G. E. Massenez Poire-Williams No Pear Brandy is bold and sweet, with mouthwatering flavors of ripe pears infused into quality French Brandy. Aging in small oak barrels gives this liqueur a rich smoothness.

Flavors of cocoa, orange rind, cake batter and vanilla. Soft tannins on the finish and a touch of rancio to come.

Rich, intense, and fruit-forward with notes of grapes, dried raisins, honey, and floral hints. This cognac is designed as a "bartender's standard" to bring vintage flavor to modern cocktails, balancing a young, energetic spirit with a smooth finish.

Since 1865, this spicy, earthy aperitif has been known as “ouvre l’appétit” - the key to the appetite. Serious in its role as an aperitif, and then popular with sportsmen, Bonal became an early sponsor of the Tour de France. It is made by an infusion of gentian, cinchona (quinine) and renowned herbs of the Grande Chartreuse mountains in a mistelle base. While tradition is to drink neat with a twist, Bonal also mixes well with fresh or hard cider, sparkling wine, and Scotch or American whiskies. Excellent with hard, salty cheeses, salted nuts, or earthy, spicy foods.

A true Quinquina Blanc, and unique among aperitif wines. The profile of the Cap Corse Mattei BLANC aperitif wine is defined by its distinctly Corsican components. Its all-mistelle base is of Vermentinu and Muscat Petit Grains, lending a terrific minerality, acidity and floral tones. The local Cedrat (aka citron) adds unique citrus aroma and a silky texture. Since its creation in 1872 by Louis-Napoléon Mattei, Cap Corse Mattei is the oldest and best known aperitif of Corsica. Still today family owned, and all macerations, aging and bottling are done in house.

Chambéryzette is a palate-pleasing aperitif that captures the aromatics, acidity and delectable flavors of wild alpine strawberries. It’s exceptionally versatile and adds a vivid, balanced strawberry profile to drinks like a spritz, vodka soda, Martini, or a wild strawberry Negroni. It stands apart from the simplistic and overbearing sugariness of other French strawberry aperitifs and liqueurs. This specialty of Dolin, first created by Rosalie Dolin in 1902, draws its qualities from strawberries of France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region on a base of Vermouth de Chambéry.

A smoldering wine of great intensity and persistence, the 2007 Rivesaltes Rancio is marked by notes of torched Seville orange, walnut, chestnut honey and garam masala. Grenache blanc, Grenache gris and Macabeu were co-fermented in tank with native yeasts, then aged up in the rafters for more than a decade in old barrique, without temperature control and with minimal ‘topping up’. Bottled after thirteen years in mid-2022, it can be enjoyed on its own, with a variety of cheeses, with roasted nuts, and desserts including crème brûlée and apple pie. Shelf-stable, it should be served lightly chilled or at cellar temperature.

Strega is a vibrant, golden Italian herbal liqueur made from about 70 herbs and spices, including saffron, mint, and juniper, giving it a complex, sweet, and aromatic flavor. Created in Benevento, Italy, in 1860, its name means "witch," stemming from local folklore, and it's often called "the witch's liqueur". It's enjoyed neat, on the rocks, in cocktails, or used in desserts, and is known for its versatility as a digestif or aperitif.

The marriage of two quintessential Barbadian delicacies: rum and coconuts. Working with local coconut farmers, we spent four years tinkering with recipes until we landed on the perfect process. The husks of the ripe coconuts are cut and dried under the Caribbean sun, then infused in our 100% Barbadian rum, distilled at the Stade’s West Indies Rum Distillery. A true celebration of these two icons of island culture.

Creamy and rich on the nose, with vanilla bean, tiramisu, and milk chocolate, melding with orange peel, lemon, and fresh rye notes. Deep red fruit and lots of spice on the palate, with chocolate and pepper, then softening into milk chocolate, plum tart, and caramel apples. Rich fruit notes, baked fruit tart, coffee, chocolate, and spice on the finish. Balanced fruit cup sweetness, spice, and chocolate overall.

Estate-grown whiskey produced by Whiskey Acres Distilling Co. in DeKalb, Illinois, utilizing a rare landrace corn variety originally from southern Mexico.

Aged at least 5 years, comes from 53 gallon barrels and is 100 proof. Binny’s Beverage Depot describes it as “vanilla drizzled caramel corn that greets the nose with a background of cinnamon and nutty oak. A thick and coating palate highlights the sweet caramel corn and moves towards ripe apples and lightly toasted coconut. The finish is long and soft with sweet red berries fading into peppery spice. A new standard for craft bourbon.” Double Gold winner at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.”

The winery and vineyards are located in and around the village of Poinchy, which is just outside of Chablis itself. The wines from this area tend to be ever so slightly more generous on the palate in terms of power and amplitude, but with a clear and distinct line of briny minerality and acidity that unmistakably scream “Chablis”!
