Mullan Road Cellars’ Red Wine Blend SRP: $42

CRUZ Reposado Tequila SRP: $52.99
Nothing says family more than cheers-ing to Dad with a spirit founded on sentimental ancestral experiences. CRUZ Tequila Founder, Pep Katcher, spent his early years riding “La Guayaba”, the daily service train from Ocotlan, Jalisco to Atotonilco, Jalisco, of which his grandfather was the conductor. This train was a way for “campesinos” to get their agave to the tequila distilleries in Atotonilco. Fast forward a few years and enter CRUZ Tequila, an authentic 100% estate grown blue agave tequila, handcrafted in small batches to ensure the finest quality possible. The name not only pays homage to Pep’s time with his grandfather, but the crosses that were seen throughout the Jalisco highlands as “La Guayaba” train would make its journey through the region. Enjoy the ultimate Old Fashioned with a twist by using this rich, robust Reposado expression.
