Rare Wines And Spirits To Get Dad This Father's Day 2021

When it comes to Father’s Day, a good drinkwill always be his first choice. While he may have his favorite on hand wines and an inventory that keeps bringing you home, Father’s Day is the time to give something truly rare for his top-shelf. Not sure what is worthy? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered with the perfect gift to bring to Dad.

Germain-Robin XO

Germain-Robin XO is an icon of California Brandy. Distilled exclusively in Pruhlo Charentais Pot Stills and aged in Limousin Oak Barrels, XO highlights the unique flavor and characteristics of California Pinot Noir grapes.

The high-quality California wine grapes in Germain-Robin XO showcase unique flavors and layered textures. The signature grape, Pinot Noir, provides a dark cherry character and a rich silky mouthfeel. Colombard distillate adds a fresh apple character while Semillon provides richness with peach and apricot notes. The balance of both fruit and oak flavors is unique to Germain-Robin XO. The vanilla and toast flavors from the French oak complement the fruit which creates layers of complexity that only can be found from sourcing great fruit. 

Moët & Chandon Nectar Impérial Rosé

A bright coral color with intense rose golf reflections. On the nose, the intense fruitiness of mature red fruits, strawberry soup, raspberry and pomegranate balance notes of sweet spices (vanilla, brown sugar) and hints of fresh mint.

Stags’ Leap Winery’s 2018 The Investor Napa Valley Red Wine

Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift can be tough, especially for the dad who has “everything.”  To make shopping easier for your readers, I’d love to recommend a classic wine that’s sure to impress every vino-loving dad! While many celebrated Father’s Day over Zoom or FaceTime last year, toasting with Dad in person on June 20th will make for the ultimate gift. Stags’ Leap Winery’s 2018 The Investor Napa Valley Red Wine (SPR $60) complements any Father’s Day celebration and beyond as summer nears and outdoor entertaining with more loved ones becomes possible.

Plush and inviting, this red blend is the ultimate crowd pleaser. Expressive notes of blackberry, black currant, macerated blueberries, and wild black plum are joined by baking spice notes of cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and clove. Whether Dad chooses to drink immediately or cellar it for a few years, he’s sure to love every rich, mouthwatering sip.

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010

Perfect for a summer Father’s Day gathering, the luminous sweetness of tropical fruit – green mango, melon, pineapple – instantly shines in the 2010 vintage. The vintage pairs excellently with light fish or poultry dishes as they both complement the wine’s tingle of orange zest and the mist of a mandarin orange.

Mijenta Tequila

For $118.98 (shipping included), customers will receive both expressions of the tequila and an exclusive invite to a live tasting with co-founder and awarded mixologist Juan Coronado and preeminent Maestra Tequilera Ana Maria Romero, streaming on Father’s Day at 5pm ET. Gift dad with something he can savor and let Juan and Ana guide you through the perfect celebration.

The specialty package can be purchased here and all orders placed on or before June 10th will receive the bottles in time for Father’s Day. 

Father’s Day is particularly special to Mijenta, as a company whose ethos is built around the idea of family and community -- Mijenta is a variation of mi gente, meaning my people. The agave used to create Mijenta is harvested by jimadores such as Don Jose Amezola Garcia, a third generation jimador, and his son, Jose Enrique Amezola. Don Jose learned the craft from his own father when he was 17 years old. After 25 years of harvesting, Don Jose dedicates himself mostly to the care of the agave fields, building on a vast knowledge of the location of the best parcels and giving the plants the care that they require. One of his six children, Jose Enrique, has taken on the family tradition. Mijenta is dedicated to supporting the father-son duo and ensuring the continuation of their craft. 

BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez

For the fancy Dad who likes his spirits extra-aged, we recommend BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez. A master blender’s reserve, BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez is barrel aged for a minimum of ten years. Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, this bottle has a dark golden hue that boasts bright notes of banana, pear and tropical melon balanced with caramelized vanilla and oak, resulting in a premium rum with complex flavors your Dad is sure to enjoy.

SIMI Winery’s Landslide Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

The SIMI 2016 Landslide Vineyard Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (SPR $50) is a youthful and elegant red, with notes of toasty oak, a blend of violets, blackberry, chocolate, cassis, and bramble berry on the palate. The complexity of this Cabernet continues to integrate flavors and aromas overtime, giving way to savory and dense flavors of dried blueberry and dark cocoa.

Gin XII

A rich and flavorful dry gin produced in the South of France at Distilleries et Domaines de  Provence, Gin XII (86 proof) is the new and distinguished addition to the American spirits  landscape. Gin XII is distilled from 12 plants and spices - hence the symbol XII, which reads  twelve from the ancient Roman Numeral system. The majority of these ingredients are  harvested in Provence, making the gin a true and authentic expression of this region. 

Distilleries et Domaines de Provence has distilled plants and spices for over 120 years -since its  foundation in 1898 - leading to the production of some of the most acclaimed herbaceous spirits  on the market like Absente absinthe and Henri Bardouin Pastis.

Joseph Phelps Vineyards 2017 Insignia

Storied Napa Valley winery Joseph Phelps Vineyards released their flagship 2017 Insignia Bordeaux-influenced red blend September 2020. This is perfect touch for dads with an appreciation for the finer things. This vintage opens in the glass with heady aromas of mocha, cedar, roasted espresso, blueberry, and ripe plum.

Italicus Rosolio Di Bergamotto Liqueur

This premium Italian liqueur puts the bergamot orange fruit into the spotlight. Crafted with Calabrian bergamot and a selection of Italian botanicals, this citrusy and floral premium liqueur is based on an 1850s recipe.
