Think of us as Wine - "with benefits."
A fantastic list of wine this week for the tasting - including a hundred dollar blockbuster.
The list for the weekly tasting is just below a few items of interest.
First
Beer, Burgers, Baked Potatoes, and even Merlot.A good cheddar makes the world go round. If you still have not seen our expanding cheese & gourmet department - what are you waiting for? We have an amazing selection of cheese and we love to sample them all. Please stop in and have a taste.
NEXT
This Wednesday - April 21st - is Administrative Professionals Day.
We have thoughtfully put together a number of options that will help you to say Thank You.
Flowers, chocolate, gourmet, wine, and combination's to grab and go.
Your team works hard making you look good all year - remember to order early for timely deliveries.NEXT In 1993, a simple but remarkable concept took root in Portland, Oregon.
That concept was to handcraft superior chocolates - chocolates that
would not only taste exquisite, but that would look exceptional, as
well. The result would be a chocolate indulgence for all the senses. We are proud to be an authorized retailer of Moonstruck Chocolates. Do You Know A Chocoholic? Our assortments from Moonstruck make for an experience without compare. Handcrafted, using the finest ingredients. Decadent chocolate with fresh flavors found in the Pacific Northwest
and beyond. Our case is full - but it goes quickly.
A Great Gift For Mother's Day.

Diehl Halbtrocken Riesling $12
This is a refreshing, bright, "half-dry" Riesling from the high-altitude vineyards of Pfalz, Germany. Light and citrusy, with a bit of a sizzle on the tongue - would pair beautifully with salads, cheese and fruit. Comes in a convenient one liter bottle!
Santo Cristo "Za-Za" Rose $12
Yes, it is time to roll out the pink wine, but never fear - we're fans of the old-school dry varieties, not mass market sugar pills. This rose of Grenache is from Campo de Borja Spain, grown in the chalky and clay soils on the slopes of Moncayo. Tremendous raspberry and strawberry fruit combine with cinnamon and a creamy finish. A lovely addition to a warm spring afternoon.
Chateau Soucherie Anjou $20
Great Loire Valley reds seem to be harder to find, but well worth it - this one is a stunner. Cabernet Franc from northern France, light alcohol and rich roasted beet flavors combine with hints of smoke and leather. A very pretty red, not overpowering, but with enough muscle to combine with hearty beef or lamb dishes. Orsini sausage with spinach and white beans? Or wood-grilled chicken thighs and mushrooms!
Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2006 $100 We have a good stash of these simmering in the cellar, and figured we should just reaquaint ourselves. From the Perrin family comes this benchmark, gorgeous Chateauneuf from the heart of France's Rhone Valley.
This may be Our Favorite Wine of all time. A bottle for the ages - winemaker Marc Perrin might call drinking these too young "infanticide," it is true they will develop the most extraordinary flavors at around the dozen-year mark, and continue to smolder well into their twenties. But we need some reference point, non?
Please come and get a sip - we will only open ONE, so arrive early. (We also have half bottles at $55)
