Anyday Wines for Your Table!

Notes From the Cellar….. We’re keeping the hopeful outlook that spring is coming to us early and soon the trees will be budding and plants sprouting! We have wines open this weekend that offer incredible value and are great go-to wines for any evening with friends and can stand up to many meals. Join us Friday from 3-6 and Saturday to sample these and see what’s new! ’14 Willm Pinot Blanc Réserve, Alsace, France – Here is a beautifully balanced off-dry Alsatian Pinot Blanc at a very reasonable price. As is common in Alsace, Jean-Luc Ostertag practices integrated and sustainable farming resulting in a wine that is fresh, fruity, yet subtle and balanced. Aromas of lemon, grapefruit and stone fruits give way to a medium bodied mouthfeel with good structure and acidity. This is a great accompaniment to shellfish, white met, roasted poultry and quiche. $13.99 ’14 Marchigue Cabernet Sauvignon Mapa Gran Reserva, Colchagua Valley, Chile- The wine regions of Chile have one of the great distinctions of the wine world in having been free from the phylloxera louse as it is protected on all sides by the Andes Mountains, Pacific Ocean, Atacama Desert and the wastes of the Antarctic. Here vines can be safely planted without the time and expense of grafting resistant rootstock. The fashionable Colchagua Valley lies to the south of Santiago at higher elevations with excellent day/night temperature variations. This Gran Reserva Cabernet is aged for 12 months in French oak and displays all the rich, velvety blackberry and cassis fruit that is the hallmark of the varietal, balanced by fresh acidity and a strong tannic backbone. Pairs with meat dishes, grilled or roasted vegetables and hard cheese. $12.99 This weekend we are featuring the Long Trail Smash Project #3- limited batch ale brewed with a single malt and a single hop to showcase the characteristics of each ingredient. Munich Malt reveals a deep amber hue and distinct toasted bread and biscuit flavors. Equinox Hops- a complex American hop, features a multitude of citrus, herbal and floral notes. Dark amber in color with a manageable 6.8% alcohol and lower bitterness. Get them while they last! On the beer front we have Wormtown Pale Ale & Pilsner, Victory Dirt Wolf Double IPA, Houblon Chouffe and a few Mayflower Alden Double IPAs left. As always take 10% of any 3 wines from our tasting table. Now open Sundays 12:00- 5:00!

Cheers!
