As always purchases of 3 Bottles of wine from the Tasting Table get 10% off.

’13 Etna Bianco, Murgo, Sicily, Italy – This is truly a surprisingly elegant, complex white blend from the volcanic sands of Mt. Etna.  It is blended from local varietals Catarratto and Caricante resulting in aromas of flowers, green fruit, mineral and river stone.  The palate is harmonious, persistent with delicate nuances developing throughout the finish.  Try this wine with lobster or fleshy fish such as grouper, and dishes with goat cheese.  $13.99

’13 Chinon ‘Messanges Rosé’, Domaine de Pallus, Loire Valley, France -  We’ve added another stunning 2013 rosé to the selection, made from 100% organically farmed Cabernet Franc in the Chinon appellation.  The wine shows wonderful tangy, tart fruit elements, balanced with mineral and stone fruit tones.  The finish is clean and crisp with subtle fruit flavor and crisp acidity.  Truly a wine for all occasions – sip on its own or pair with grilled fish, raw fish and shellfish, or soft, pungent cheeses.  $14.99

2012 Kings Ridge Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley – Another fine small production selection from Kings Ridge, the ’12 Pinot Noir is aged for 10 months partially in steel and partially in neutral oak barrels. Aromas of fresh blackberry, cherry and hints of chocolate, give way to full berry flavors with a balanced acidity and fine tannins. Try this with seared salmon or even barbecued pork ribs. $19.99

Element Brewing Company ‘Plasma’ Sake-IPA, Millers Falls, MA – This is a unique brew from brown rice, malted millet, malted buckwheat and Aramis hops.  The result is a strong, hoppy IPA style beer with a different twist and naturally gluten free.  $13.99/750ml bottle

Cheers!
