einstein flowers make you smarter
According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, if you're learning a new skill, you'll pick it up 17% faster when exposed to the smell of flowers - any flowers, so long as you like the scent. We recommend hydrangeas. Because they are so pretty.
Greetings From New London,

The lyric's of a great WW I song say it best:
"...How you gonna keep them down on the farm once they've seen Paree....?"

Many of you know our kitchen staff at Brie & Bleu has taken advantage of offers presented by a large well known Rhode Island establishment.

While we get our new people in place, and everything running the way we like - Thanks for your patience.

Domaine du Tariquet Ugni Blanc-Colombard $10
Domaine du Tariquet Sauvignon Blanc

Another gem from Tariquet - from France's northern Gascony coast,
this is a perfect hot weather wine - crisp, refreshing with a touch of tropical fruit.

A little softer than their very popular Sauvignon Blanc.

Enjoy with shelfish and salads or sitting in a garden with a fountain bubbling a few feet away. This is a wine that wipes away the heat, humidity, and the long hours of work that make sipping a wine like this so enjoyable. Unbeatable for the price.






Dominio de Haredia Rioja $14

Dominio de Haredia Rioja
Medium-bodied, old school Rioja, 100% Tempranillo with a classic mellow cherry fruit plus tobacco smoke and leather.

Drinking beautifully now, stands up exceptionally well with grilled meats while not overpowering the palate.

This is a wine drinkers wine - solid, authentic, and faithful to the tradition behind it. This is a wine that drinks like something twice its cost - please try it this Friday.




La Capra Cabernet $12

La Capra Cabernet

From Charles Back of Fairview (of "Goats do Roam" fame), this table red displays the smoky character unique to South Africa, but somehow remains fruity easy
and crisp.

Another lovely summer wine that would work perfectly with a bit of char from a wood-grilling picnic.

Fruit sourced from the Stellenbosch region, the wine displays a hefty cassis and currant nose with blackberry and plum notes swirling in cedar smoke.


Charles Back is a wine pioneer in South Africa and an all around maverick in the business world of wine.

He is not afraid to poke his finger into the eye of the powers that be - and that includes making fun of some of the biggest names in wine for their pretense and ostentation.

His motto is a good one: "Let's have a little fun before we die."
Friday night is a good time to start - we hope to see you at this weeks tasting.
Please Join Us - it's fun, informal, and a great way to start your weekend.

Think of us as Wine - "With Benefits."
