Cool! Is stoic some old Greek dude? What a guess.
The answer to mine is the name of a sweet wine I had never heard of, but it makes sense with the rest of the clue.

stoic - he was some philospher of a school founded by Zeno in Athens around 308BC, all centred around controlling passions and indiference to pleasure and pain....
