A Success!
7th Annual Benefit Wine Tasting
Our thanks go out to a community that knows well how to support a good cause. With our second largest attendance on record, last Wednesday's benefit for the Orpheum Children's Science Museum was everything we had hoped - a financial boost for the Orpheum, a showcase for our suppliers and their incomparable selection of wine and spirits and a fun and social evening for everyone in attendance. Thanks again and thanks for your support!Howling at the Moon

WINE FEATURE
Fess Parker 'Ashley's' Chardonnay 2007
Santa Rita Hills, California
 The 2007 Chardonnay Ashley's Vineyard exhibits that distinct earthiness that seems to come from selected terroirs in the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley. Crisp, elegant aromas of white peaches, apricots, quince, and white currants are followed by hints of flowers and honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied with good acidity as well as beautiful balance and freshness.

Fall Inspiration!
YAZI Ginger Vodka
In a world overwhelmed by hundreds of vodka brands, Yazi offers a unique taste (ginger) and distinctive positioning (created especially for women). Yazi is for those who own the night. It's sweet and spicy. It's the taste of mischief, an elixir made from ancient aphrodisiacs - four different species of ginger - along with lemon, orange, cayenne and red pepper. Yazi can be enjoyed on the rocks, with ginger ale or ginger beer, with tonic or in a variety of specialty drinks.

WHISTLEPIG
Rye Whiskey
|  |
WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey is a 100 proof, 100 percent rye whiskey, aged for a minimum of ten years in oak barrels. The whiskey was discovered by Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, who spent over a year on an exhaustive search of North America for the best rye whiskey, and he believes that it embodies the perfect combination of proof, percent, and age -- hitting what he calls "the sweet spot" in all three categories. WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey is hand bottled at the WhistlePig Farm Distillery in Shoreham, Vermont and is available in a limited initial offering of only 1000 cases.
