More great reviews for Contratto!!!! CONTRATTO 2021 PAS DOSÈ “MILLESIMATO” ALTA LANGA DOCG 93 Points, Vinous: “The 2021 Alta Langa Pas Dosé Millesimato wafts up with a pretty bouquet of peach sorbet, white cherries and orange shavings. It is soothingly round with a cascade of mineral-infused bubbles and crisp orchard fruits. A distinctly salty sensation emerges through the finish, adding mouthwatering freshness as it concludes with lovely length. These are vibrant, energetic wines that display remarkable purity and complexity. Despite their zero-to-low dosage, they also possess remarkable richness and balance. Contratto delivers some of the finest examples of Alta Langa.” 93 Point

February took us across Montana and back again, connecting with partners, hosting tastings and winemaker dinners, welcoming Jennifer from Riedel Crystal, and introducing new additions to our beer portfolio while continuing to champion the classics. From Valentine’s sparkling pours to (some) snow-dusted sunsets (finally!), it’s a privilege to represent world-class producers and bring them to communities across our state. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to this month, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! #GeorgesDistributing #SummitBeverage #FineWine #CraftBeer #MontanaPride SupplierSpotlight WineEducation

No rules, just good beer! Jason’s drinking Nice Fella Pilsner from Mountains Walking Brewing — crisp, balanced, and easy to come back to. It’s a go-to after getting outside and still works once the snacks hit the table. Greg’s pouring Yamabiko Rice Lager from New Hokkaido — clean, delicate, and extremely drinkable, with a subtle depth that makes it a great food beer. A couple of solid picks for the weekend! #MontanaBeer #MountainsWalking #NiceFellaPilsner #NewHokkaido #YamabikoRiceLager #CraftBeer

Zero proof, full plans ✨ This weekend’s N/A lineup is bringing the flavor without the buzz. Non-alcoholic doesn’t mean non-interesting. These are three standout N/A whites we love: 🤍 Sea Monster White- bright, citrusy, and super refreshing 🤍 Good Twins Sparkling– crisp bubbles with an easy, celebratory feel 🤍 Noughty Blanc– clean, classic, and food-friendly Cheers to the weekend and good options! #NoAlcoholNoProblem #WineAlternatives #DrinkOptions

We’re already halfway through dry January; whether you are celebrating it or simply enduring it (or ignoring altogether), we’ve got plenty of options to get you through in style. And we all know nothing is more stylish than a cocktail. Ghia set out to make botanical-based cocktail alternatives with no added sugar and we actually think they’re pretty dang good over ice with a garnish. Meet the lineup: 🍊 Blood Orange Soda Juicy, bittersweet citrus with a bold bite. Bright, refreshing, and very sip-worthy. 🍋 Lime & Salt Soda Crisp lime with a subtle saline finish. Clean, punchy, instant refresh. 🔥 Ginger Soda Warm, spicy ginger with a smooth finish. Comforting with just enough kick. 🍓 Berry Soda Apéritif Fruit-forward, lightly bitter, and bubbly. Fun, vibrant, and easygoing. 🌿 Original Apéritif Herbaceous, citrusy, and complex. Bitter in the best way — made to mix with bubbles. 🌶️ Sumac & Chili Apéritif Tart, savory sumac with gentle heat from chili. Unexpected, layered, and seriously cool. Which one is your favorite?! 👇🏼

For more than 50 years, George’s Distributing has been about more than beverages — it’s been about people, relationships, and the shared experiences that come from building something together. As a multi-generational family business, George’s became a place where careers were built, partnerships grew, and communities across Montana were served with pride. Over the years, it opened doors, created opportunity, and fostered connections that reach far beyond the business itself. This moment marks the end of an era for the George family, and a chance to honor the leadership, vision, and dedication that helped shape George’s into what it is today. This company exists because of the incredible employees who brought heart and hustle every day, and the suppliers and business partners who believed in the vision and helped it grow. As of January 1, 2026, George’s Distributing is officially a fine wine and craft beer division of Summit Beverage— closing an incredible chapter and opening the door to an exciting new one. With genuine excitement for what’s ahead, George’s now moves forward with the Markovich family, confident the legacy that built this company will continue to grow in new and meaningful ways. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. Here’s to the next chapter — and all the good things ahead. 🥂 @summit.beverage.mt
