No Tricks- Just Treats!

Notes From the Cellar….. Not a lot of tricks around here- just treats to warm all you grown up kids out there after an evening of chasing around miniature ghosts and goblins! Stop by this weekend from 3-6 to sample a couple of great wines for the fall weather as well as new beer to the store- Nightshift Brewing from Everett! Don’t forget about our freshly stocked selection of artisan cheeses and charcuterie- locally produced NE Charcuterie salamis made from Massachusetts Heritage Pork! This weekend’s wines: ’13 Evolúció, Tokaj Furmint, Hungary- Famed for its long lived sweet wines- Royal Tokaj, the Furmint grape nonetheless is capable of creating fresh and lively dry wines when grown without the development of noble rot. The vines are grown on hillsides of volcanic soils that retain heat, allowing the grapes to ripen fully for a rich fruitiness balanced by fresh acidity and a remarkable mineral character. Floral with green apple fruit and a touch of honey this wine is a tremendous value and with black birds on the label will give you a touch of trepidation when paired with the surrounding darkness of night! ’15 Celler Comunica “La Comedia”, Montsant, Spain- Surrounding the famed Catalan region of Priorat, Monstant lays at higher elevations with many of the most notable bodegas concentrated around a one-horse town named Falset that is the gateway to Priorat. Here the soils are mostly granite based typical of Monstant and perfect for ripening Garnacha. This blend of Garnacha, Carignan & Syrah come from 30 year old vines fermented & aged without the use of oak. Rich, with lively red fruit, this is an easily enjoyed wine that still maintains a depth of character and a soft lingering finish. A serious wine without any pretense, it is just the thing to uncork and have a laugh with friends! As always take 10% off any 3 wines we are tasting. On the beer front we have newer arrivals from Mikkeller, Nightshift, Mayflower Thanksgiving, Down the Road, Maine Brewing, SoMe, Rhinegeist, Modern Times, Mystic, Singlecut & Avery.

Cheers!
