Greetings from New London,
With the big holidays falling on Fridays, we're planning TWO very special Wednesday Night tastings to toast out 2009!
This Wednesday December 23rd: Ken Powers from Victory Brewing Company will take over our wine cellar with flagons of beer!
The hoppy madness will commence at 6:00PM, starring Golden Monkey Ale, Hopdevil and Wilddevil beers with some large formats and rare surprises!
"Having trained in Germany, we
appreciate the artistic freedom we have here in the US. Here creativity
is embraced by a fervent core of consumers and we are happy to serve
that audience with our experience in traditional methods, selection of
choice, often imported ingredients, and the best processing that
technology can offer us. We relish the opportunity to please both
ourselves and our audience with our flavorful creations. We've
invested more than our lives in this. Take a look."
Bill Covaleski
Brewmaster & President

Wednesday December 30th:
Bubbly Night featuring all of our sparkling options for New Year's Eve - Cava, Prosecco, Vouvray and yes, even CHAMPAGNE.
As always the fun starts at 6:00 P.M.
*****
JUST IN:
Calera Jensen Pinot Noir 2006 ($65) is in the house! Josh Jensen's single vineyard Pinot Noir offering is here, impossible to find, the gold standard of velvety California Pinot Noirs, from the winemaster's flagship vineyard. We have six entire bottles - first come, first served.
AND - we still have a few bottles left of
New York Times - Rated #1 of '07s by Eric Asimov -
Domaine Montpertuis - First come, first served.
ALSO - Cloudy Bay - THE wine of New Zealand - rewrote the book on Sauvignon Blanc around the world - Impossible to get, impossible to forget.
But we called in a few "markers" and you can get as much as you like from us for the holidays.
*****BOURBON
Makes An Excellent GiftSmall Batch Bourbon -
As the name suggests, these ultra-premium, small batch bourbons
are made in limited quantities. Aged from six to nine years in new,
charred American white oak barrels, each is characteristic of
pre-Prohibition whiskey, with strong, rich flavors and aromas. A small batch bourbon is a complex balance of taste and flavor.
 This is the #1 Rated Bourbon Whiskey in the World
Rated 99 out of 100 by the World's Spirits Championships
"Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve' is aged an unheard of 20 years,
and bottled at 90.4 proof.
This whiskey is wonderfully
smooth and rich.
No other bourbon today can stand 20 years of aging,
but this bourbon does it with style. My grandfather, 'Pappy Van Winkle'
was a true character. This bourbon, like 'Pappy', is full of the
character that makes it a very special whiskey. It, too, has been put
in a class of a fine after dinner cognac."
- Julian III and Preston Van Winkle A bottle of fine bourbon and carefully selected cigars is the ultimate gift for the connoisseur in your life. We can even arrange for a private tasting and cigars in our beautiful lounge - think about it.

The Elves at TRG are always working.
So a little something like the blizzard this Sunday would never keep them from their appointed duties.
While many of you were tucked snugly into your beds & "slanket's" - a couple of us made it downtown to clear a path to the front door. Then one-by-one our team arrived. There is a lot of work to do and orders to get ready for the coming week.
Rows and rows of wine baskets, gourmet baskets, plants, and too many other things to list.
I mention all of this only to say thank you.
It is your remarkable support and your commitment to shop locally with us over the past weeks & months that makes it all possible. We will never take your confidence in our work for granted - you have our promise.
We have a lot of things planned for New Year - Special guests, dinners, live performances & more - so please stayed tuned.
AAA.
