Let Summer Begin!

Notes From the Cellar….. The kids are finally done paying for all this winter's snow, so summer can really being for families! Join us Fri & Sat from 3-6 to sample some great new wines that are perfect for the summer months! Special Event- Saturday 4:30-6:00- Sweet Sound Oysters will be here sucking some delicious, fresh Duxbury Oysters to go with some extra wines we will crack for the evening! ’14 Domaine de la Fouquette Cuvée Rosée d’Aurore, Côtes de Provence, FR- (Grenche, Cinsault, Rolle) Provence has become synonymous with great rosé and does indeed produce consistently outstanding rosé. This pale colored organically farmed wine has a vibrant, fruity and intense nose with luscious flavors of mandarin orange, red and black berries, followed by a vibrant grapefruit finish. $19.99 '12 Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc, Awatere Valley, Marlborough, NZ- The Awatere Valley is a sub-appellation of Marlborough with low fertile soils of stones & pebbles created by ancient glaciers compacting in the valley. The Vavasour family traces it heritage back to the Norman invasion of England, settling in New Zealand in 1890 and pioneering vineyards in Awatere a century later. Winemaking follows sustainable practices and grapes are harvested at night to preserve flavor and freshness of the wine. Fragrant and aromatic, it shows layered expressions of the tropical fruits- grapefruit, melon & citrus, backed up with the mouthwatering acidity one expects from a quality New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. $15.99 ’12 Bodegas Volver Single Vineyard Tempranillo, La Mancha, ESP- From the wide open expanses of La Mancha, south of Madrid comes this 100% old vine Tempranillo grown at high elevations in soils primarily of limestone. With 18 months in new French oak, this is an intense wine with dark fruit, cigar tobacco & licorice notes. Medium bodied with ripe tannins and fresh acidity this is a big drinking wine that delivers with a long, dry finish. Another one of Jorge Ordoñez's collaborations in Spain that offers great quality! $19.99 Andegavia Boxed Wines- Russian River Pinot Noir and Napa Valley Merlot! Boxed wines are continuing to increase in quality and here is another great example with well made wines that will last up to a month in the high quality & fully recyclable packaging. $54 (equivalent of 4 bottles) And as always take 10% off any 3 wines we are tasting. On the beer front we have recent additions from Stone, Firestone Walker, Dark Horse,Cambridge Brewing, Rogue & Avery.
