Summer Wines!

Notes From the Cellar….. For this weekend's respite from the heat and a little much needed rain we're pouring a few exciting new wines to sample that we think make excellent pairings for dinners at home and provide an intriguing surprise! Join us Friday from 3-6 and Saturday to sample an Organic Provence Rosé, a highly aromatic blend from Alsace and a rich and smooth Cabernet blend from Italy! We are stocked up lots of new beer, wine, spirits & mixers; don’t forget about our wide range of gourmet cheeses, charcuterie and other goodies for an afternoon on the beach or snacks for a gathering! '15 Domaine de la Chapelle St. Victor Rosé, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, France- Family owned since the 1940's by the Breban family who started making sparkling wines in their garage, this organically farmed blend of Grenache, Cincault & Syrah is a classically styled Provence rosé- pale pink with sweet berry fruits, rose petals and refreshing acidity. '14 Laurent Barth "Racines Métisses", Alsace, France- Organically farmed blend of 3 of the 4 Noble Alsatian varietals with some of the lowest yields in the region to ensure intensity of flavors. This a delicious wine that is intensely aromatic with wild flowers, orchard fruits and honey. With the complexity, acidity and depth of fruit it pairs well with Asian cuisine, particularly curry dishes as well as seafood stews or pork dishes. '13 Maculan "Brentino", Veneto, Italy- Located in the charming town of Breganze in the foothills of the Dolomite Alps, the vineyards benefit from great southern exposure to the sun and protection from the cold mountain winds. A Bordeaux- inspired blend of 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon on Merlot, this wine is full bodied and maintains its fresh fruit character by aging half in oak and half in stainless steel. With blackberry and black cherry fruits and a hint of cedar it is dry and well balanced with smooth tannins on the finish. As always take 10% off any 3 wines we are tasting. On the beer front we have newer arrivals from Brewmaster Jack, Long Trail, SixPoint, Mayflower, Down the Road, Boulevard, Cisco, Firestone Walker & Two Roads!

Cheers!
