Greetings from New London,
Well, the planets must be aligned just right or something - because we no sooner finished hanging our Editor's Choice Award from Yankee Magazine, when we received another notification from The Knot magazine. The Knot is considered America's wedding "Bible".
We are very proud to be included in their current issue as a
Best Pick for 2010 - voted on by the brides themselves.
We do not take these awards or your support for granted. They remind us that we have to keep our standards for products and services high and to pay close attention to the details - and that is our promise.
Yankee Magazine:
We want to thank Yankee Magazine for recognizing us this year with an Editor's Choice Award for Brie & Bleu.
".....You'll love this bustling fromagerie on the Thames River for its water
views and superb bistro fare."

Anchor Steam
San Francisco's
famous Anchor Steam,
the classic of American brewing tradition since 1896,
is virtually
handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient
art of
brewing.
The
Anchor Brewing Company has been making
beer in
San Francisco since 1896. Uniquely San
Franciscan, Anchor
has played a significant, though small, role in
California's
majestic history.
The rich
history of Anchor Brewing can be traced all
the way
back to the Gold Rush, when German brewer Gottlieb
Brekle
arrived in San Francisco with his wife Marie and
infant son
Frederick. Brekle applied for citizenship in 1854,
and his
brewing and business acumen would soon lead to his
ownership
of a little San Francisco brewery on Pacific,
between Larkin
and Hyde, which would one day become known as Anchor.
We Love Anchor Steam - it is in stock and ready for you to enjoy.
NEXTWell it was just a matter of time - wasn't it? |

Domaine du Tariquet Sauvignon Blanc $10
Another crisp, light and lovely Sauvignon from Gascogny.
Bright with lime freshness and mineral purity, perfect with lobster, steamer clams or seared scallops.
This is the wine we bring to Captain Scott's Lobster Dock - sit at a picnic table and munch on clam fritters!
It does not get any more local than that!
Crios Malbec Rose $12
Yes, a rose of Malbec, one of the darkest, dry blush wines we've come across.
If you didn't chill it, you might even pretend it was a fruity Pinot Noir.
But when you DO chill it, you'd want to collect all the grilled shrimp skewers and crab claws you could find.
Pan-seared trout with red new potatoes and asparagus?
From Susanna Balbo - our favorite winemaker from Argentina.
Don Ramon Red $9
Uncle Don is a seriously affordable daily table red from Spain.
Very much like an old-school Rioja - Tempranillo with a base of Grenache keeping it light and pretty.
Aged in enormous old oak barrels, this is a surprisingly fantastic red, often ignored, but a staff favorite!
Ramirez de la Piscina Rioja $24
 Speaking of old-school Rioja, let's get serious with this beautifully aged Reserva from 2001.
We can get a hold of it because the big supermarket stores have overlooked it.
Rich, delightful, a steal for a wine on the verge of being a vintage Spanish classic. We would pair it with grilled hangar steak, olives and capers - that's right - capers.

Featured This Week
TRIPLE - CREME!
Delice de
Bourgogne
Thick, frosted cow's milk triple-cr�me that is beyond rich, with
voluptuous, mouth-coating texture and a salty, earthy finish.
Unlike most French bloomies, which hail from Ile-de-France, this thick,
frosted specimen is from Burgundy, and its complexity belies its
industrial production.
Going beyond richness, this
triple-cr�me has a pungent, moldy rind with straw and mushroom aromas to
complement the sweet, creamy straw-colored interior.
Delice rivals
other bloomy rinds with its voluptuous, mouth-coating texture and its
salty, earthy finish.
The thick, dusty rind is a tricky pair: a
regional approach would suggest a white Burgundy - like the ones we poured last week - or something with a bit of a sparkle - unbelievably good.
