Hidden Gems for September

At The Good Pour, we love shining a spotlight on bottles that don’t always make the headlines—but deserve a place in your glass. Our Hidden Gems program is all about uncovering unique wines and spirits with incredible stories, craftsmanship, and value. Think small producers, under-the-radar regions, and spirits that surprise you with every sip. Whether you’re expanding your palate or looking for something unexpected to share with friends, these gems are waiting to be discovered.

Santa Julia El Cabrito Cabernet Sauvignon

This honest, no-frills Cab brings juicy dark fruit, soft tannins, and just enough spice to keep it interesting. Made sustainably in Mendoza and built to overdeliver. Everyday price. Saturday-night

 soul.

Chappellet Mountain Cuvée

Cab-forward and hillside-grown, this Bordeaux-style blend brings richness, structure, and polish without the Napa price tag. It is bold and plush, but never overdone.

Diatom Chardonnay

No oak. No butter. Just pure coastal Chardonnay with precision and mineral snap. Clean lines, bright fruit and cool-climate tension.

Maison Mirabeau Forever Summer Rosé

Strawberry, melon, and breezy vibes in a Provence pink that lives up to its name. Easy, effortless and made for golden hour moments.

Costa Café Tequila

This is your after-dinner go-to. Blanco tequila infused with roasted coffee beans for a smooth, rich pour that is like tiramisu with a kick. Perfect chilled, neat, or as the best espresso martini you have ever had.

Condesa Clasica Gin

Think London dry — but with a soulful Mexico City twist. Juniper, rosemary, and local herbs hit different in this one. Elevated flavor, stylish look, and a story worth sharing.

Forward/Slash Rhapsody Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Masterfully blended by our Winter Park neighbors, this bourbon brings vibrant energy with layers of oak, caramel and warm spice. A true rhapsody in whiskey form.

Castle & Key Small Batch Bourbon

From the revived Old Taylor Distillery in Kentucky, this small-batch bourbon is all about craft and heritage. Smooth vanilla, caramel and spice ride on a rich backbone. A new classic in the making.

Ron Barcelo Imperial Rum

Velvety, rich and layered with notes of vanilla, coconut and toasty oak — this Dominican stunner drinks way above its weight class. It is the perfect rum to show off without spending a dime over 30.
