Dear Subscriber

Saturday, 18 April 2020

It"s been over a month since the official declaration of a pandemic.
Normal has become something very different from what it was at the first of the year.
We adjust.
Slowly at times, but we adjust nonetheless.

We trust that we have adjusted quickly enough to continue to be the support that we hope we are providing to you in these very trying times.
We are open 11:00 - 7:00 pm  Monday thru Saturday
11:00 - 6:00 pm Sunday
Please do not be shy to ask, if we can do anything more effectively or provide a service that we hadn"t yet anticipated.

Quite honestly, you"ve been as much support to us as we have to you, in our minds.
You have been extraordinarily positive and flexible.
We are trying very hard to return the feelings!!

Keep smiling!! We are getting out of this - slowly, but certainly.
 

We"re offering the same selection of wines and beer on Friday and Saturday now.

We trust that you understand and we would like to express our gratitude for the tremendous support you have shown us.

The Wines!!

Mussel Bay Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand $15.99

87 Points. 
This is a bit Sancerre-ish in its light to medium body, aromas of struck flint and crisp flavors of grapefruit. 
Riper hints of fig and melon betray its New World origins, but it still finishes tart and racy.

Ochoa Granacha Rose" $12.99

A Rare Rose" from Navarre. Ripe and smooth from the Garnache grape (Grenache in France).
Bodegas Ochoa was founded in 1370 and was the personal winemaker for the King of Navarra and his royal court for nearly 500 years. The bodega has been exporting their wines only in the last 150 years. The bodega was located within the walled portion of the city of Olite. 

Andre" Brunel "Cuvee" Sabrine", Cotes du Rhone $18.99
This wine is an exceptional value!!
Blend: 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre
This wine displays notes of black cherry, minerality, licorice, and wild herbs. Earthy and rich, it is a full-bodied fleshy wine fashioned in a supple open style. A great taste of red fruits. The tannins are harmonious and elegant. Nice finish in the mouth allowing for even more complex aromas. The wine allies strength and elegance but is still easy to drink for every day meal.
Critical Acclaim RP92 Robert Parker"s Wine Advocate
A year in, year out killer wine is the 2015 Côtes du Rhône Villages Cuvee Sabrine (80% Grenache and 20% Syrah), which is loaded with Provençal charm and offers lots of ripe black raspberries, spiced cherries, garrigue and leather aromas and flavors. It’s slightly more layered, concentrated and complex than the Feraud Brunel release, and has medium to full-bodied richness and sweet tannin, all suggesting it will drink nicely for 4-5 years. 

Treana Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles $29.99
Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Petite Verdot, 3% Petite Sirah
An excellent display of Paso Roble Cabernet. 
At first glance, this dark crimson wine sets the stage for the beautiful aromas of warm chocolate, roasted coffee & toasty cedar. 
On the palate, intense dark fruit, sweet vanilla combine with smoky-oak to give a long rich mouth feel that finishes with balanced acidity and moderate, velvety tannins. 
Critical Acclaim 91 Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of black cherry, caramel sauce, dried herbs and crushed rocks lead into a palate shaped by strong yet relenting tannins. 
Flavors of oak and more dark cherry ride a silky mouthfeel.
91 Vinous
Deep shimmering ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, pipe tobacco and baking spices. 
Fleshy and appealingly sweet cherry, black currant and floral pastille flavors become more lively as the wine stretches out. 
Plays richness off finesse and finishes very long and appealingly sweet, with subtle tannins coming in late.

Beer!

  Nanticoke Nectar IPA, 4 pack $17.99
Nanticoke Nectar pours with a bright copper color, cast agains a moderate hop haze. Its frothy off white head pushes a burst of hop aromatics toward the nose. Bold citrus and clean pine ring the necessary tones of American IPA, but the flavor of shortbread, nutty and butterscotch gently roll onto the early palate for a malty, biscuity upstart.
