Now, perhaps more than ever, the healing and purification attributes of Palo Santo are being embraced by people all over the world. This particular oil is 100% pure and wildcrafted from trees native to Ecuador—one of the South American countries where it’s indigenous.

Krug

2006 Clos du Mesnil Champagne

$1,050.00

Only the 19th vintage of Krug Clos du Mesnil—an elegant liquid crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown during one harvest cycle upon a charming 4.5-acre plot of land in the iconic region—the luminous 2006 liquid exemplifies the celebratory spirit of Champagne. Though it noses of citrus and dried fruits, it flourishes on the palate with flavors of buttery pastry and meringue. There’s a welcome intensity to the bubbles, and a lengthy finish. There are only 14,973 bottles of this vintage.

Shuji Nakagawa

Vase by Nakagawa Mokkouegi

$1,900.00

Third-generation woodworker Shuji Nakagawa at Nakagawa Mokkouegi in Shiga used a 700-year-old technique called Ki-Oke (or bucket-making) to craft these vases—in an edition of 30 unique pieces. Today there are just a few of these traditional artisans left—and unlike many of his peers, Nakagawa also uses the technique to create more modern objects like these. For this particular commission, we asked him to create a vase with an organic shape unlike one he’d ever produced before. When he presented the stellar collection of 30 pieces he said the commission was the most challenging project he’s worked on.

Four Pillars

Olive Branch Gin

$40.00

Located in the Yarra Valley (located just outside Melbourne, Australia), Four Pillars crafts creative gins using native ingredients. For their new Olive Branch expression, they reached out to Cobram Estate to incorporate three types of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil along with olive leaf tea from their groves in Boundary Bend. Homegrown rosemary and bay leaf as well as native macadamia nuts and lemon myrtle add even more flavor to this spirit. The result is a textured, elegant, bright and savory gin that doesn’t overwhelm with botanicals, but hints at them. It’s the perfect gin for an ice-cold martini.
