August/2009
 
Summer fun.
 
Welcome back!
August is all about lazy days in the sun and long warm evenings enjoying time with your friends and family.  The food is at it's best this time of year.  Everything is farm-fresh and plentiful.   
It's a perfect time to stop in to the Rehoboth restaurant for a Thursday night Farm-to-Table Dinner or one of our special Wine Dinners.  In DC you can get a Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich in honor of Elvis Week.  Remember to stop in early and try out our brand new Happy Hour additions from our chalkboard.  Don't forget Restaurant Week in DC!
Don't let the summer pass you by.  Catch up with some friends and have some fun at Nage!

Farm-to-TableFarm-to-Table Dinners a success!
We would like to thank Fifer Orchards Farm and Delaware Today Magazine for co-sponsoring our wildly popular Farm-to-Table Dinner Series.  If you haven't heard about it, we are spotlighting the wares of our numerous local, organic and sustainable farmers.  Each week showcases the produce of a different farm.  On that evening the special dishes are made with food from their farm and they are in the restaurant and available to talk to the diners.  If you haven't been in, there is still time.

The Wine Guy's Pick for August
Mettler "Epicenter"
Old Vine Zinfandel
Lodi, CA
Harvested from one of their oldest vineyards.  This Old Vine Zinfandel shows good structure with aromas of wild berry and espresso, giving way to dense tannins and a nice acidity to the finish.  Intensely rich & satisfying. 
Suggested Retail Price $24.99

 
Rich Garrahan, the driving force behind the Rehoboth Wine Bar, is the 'Wine Guy"
