A FEW WORDS FROM GARY
| | |
Dear friends,
"Another Great Event."
What a great event last Sunday. Our 5th annual "Amazing Taste" to support Angels' Arms was a big success. The event, once again, had to be moved into the parking garage. I swear, if this town is ever in a drought, just plan a Lukas event and it will rain.
Unlike last year, however, we had more than an hour to set-up in the garage. We haven't got any totals yet, but the estimated crowd numbered around nine-hundred with suppliers paying for 87 tables.
Personally, I thought everyone had a great time and I know the suppliers were very happy. I can't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than to be surrounded by hundreds of happy people raising money for a great organization like Angels' Arms.
Thanks again for another successful event,
Gary Bilder
Owner of Lukas Liquor Superstore
and proud resident of this great community

SEPTEMBER PICKS OF THE MONTH
| | |
Gary:
Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay
$16.99 750ml
If you ask Tim or Jon - picking Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay is a bit of a cheat. This is one of the best-selling Chardonnays in the store (and for a good reason)! It's the "perfect" Chardonnay - not too dry, but with enough acidity to pair with lots of foods. But then again - nobody asked Tim or Jon...
$8.99 750ml
Another wine from the Wente family here, but this one is new to our store. Created in conjunction with the Food Network, the Entwine series of wines are marketed with food in mind! On the back of each varietal, you'll find food pairing suggestions. Here's what they have to say about the Merlot: Juicy and mouthwatering - think mid-summer plums and cherries, with a hint of black tea.
"Entwines with" grilled pork; mac and cheese; meatloaf; pizza; salami; tomato sauce; and wild salmon.
Perfect for: weeknight dinners.
Tim:
Domaine Olivier Hillaire "H" Vin de France
$8.99 750ml
Looking for an introduction to "Franch" wines? Think you DON'T LIKE French wines? This wine is for you. It is a cousin to my favorite Cotes du Rhone this year (and my pick next month - the Domaine Olivier Hilaire Cotes du Rhone 2009), this is a red blend of Grenache (40%) Syrah (30%) and Carignane (30%). At only $8.99, you may expect a watered-down version of the Cotes du Rhone, but this is a serious wine! I don't often say this because we are such a big store with a huge selection - but this wine will NOT be around forever, and you don't want to miss out! Try a bottle and you'll be back for a case!
Adam E: Purus Vodka
$27.99 750ml
"The Palate entry is surprisingly sweet, mellow and buttery in texture; midpalate continues the mild cereal sweetness in style and elegance. Concludes delicately sweet, buttery and with loads of layered character." Courtesy of Purus neck talker.
Adam C:
Ayinger Oktoberfest
$3.49 16oz
"Ayinger Oktober Fest Märzen has a deep golden color tinted with amber. It is lightly sweet with a malty nose balanced with floral hops. Its medium to big body and alcohol is not overpowering. The soft dryness comes from long maturation." Courtesy of ratebeer.com

GOVINO WINES GLASSES ARE HERE!
| | |
EVER HAD TO DRINK A
GOOD WINE FROM A
BAD GLASS?
Sure - we all keep our nice crystal at home... but when you're out on the patio or off on a picnic, you can't risk dropping or breaking one of those fancy pieces of stemware!
Finally - there is a solution!
A stemless wine "glass" that really does look and feel like crystal!
Govino wine glasses are reusable AND recyclable.
(While we've heard that Govino glasses can be washed in a dishwasher - the high temperatures they experience in home-dishwashing units will cause them to lose their beautiful luster very quickly. For best results - hand-wash is your best bet).
Featuring a unique "dimple" on the bottom of the glass to improve aeration and light dispersal, Govino glasses also have a nifty thumb rest on the side of the glass - you have to try these things out! They fit PERFECTLY in your hand... no more fumbling with stems while playing Bocce in the yard!
You can read more here, but, better yet, just stop by and pick up a set of 4 for only $12.95 this weekend! |
