Dear Subscriber
It"s Saturday, March 9, at The Wine Cabinet!
Tonight"s the wretched night that we lose an hour of sleep through no fault or design of our own.
We vault back into Daylight Saving Time until someday in November - the greater portion of the year.
Still not quite sure why the need for this readjustment of our body clock exists.
We might all be a bit better off if the clocks just continued their march forward without any interference from us.
No matter. We still have an excellent array of wines and beers for you today!!
Fabio always brings well-selected Italian imports that not only taste good, but they"re good for you, too!
(at least good for your wallet. Oh, and they are high in resveratrol which is good for your heart function).
And you have to try the Jailbreak Special Lady!! Very hot in Charleston, SC right now.
Come by the shop this afternoon!

Terramea Cannonau Sardegna $14.99
TASTING NOTES: This wine shows the typicity of the Cannonau grape (Grenache or Garnacha - uncertain whether it originated in Spain or Sardinia) with flavors of very ripe strawberries, black cherries, herbs, and spices. The warmth and intense sunlight of southern Sardinia can be seen and felt in the wine with unexpectedly deep color and fullness on the palate. French oak barriques provide rounded tannins and flavors of vanilla.
FOOD PAIRING: Meat cooked over an open flame is an artform in Sardinia and specialties such as spit-roasted suckling pig or lamb seem perfect for the rich and complex flavors of Cannonau. The cooking fire is often imbued with local herbs and myrtle, flavors that are perfectly mirrored in a glass of Cannonau.
