Greetings From New London,
We have an especially busy week ahead of us here at TRG. Large high profile events that were put into place months ago - require all of our resources and manpower.
We feel that the best way to honor those commitments is to close the flower portion of Thames River Greenery to devote all of our capabilities to the task.
The Beanery and City News will be open as usual and serving our morning and afternoon fare.

It Is Always COOL In Our Cellar
Wine Tasting Please Join Us
Friday July 23rd - 6-9 p.m.
No Charge
Frank Family Chardonnay $34
We're going back - way back -
to say, 1982?
A big, lush Chardonnay from the Napa Valley.
"Is it oaky?"
YES it's really oaky!
We are proud to host Frank Family's first appearance in Connecticut - all of their wines are classic examples of California's finest.
Velvety and substantial, all vanilla and coconut. What was old is new again - enjoy with a big Caesar salad and a pile of Nicoise olives!
Everything about this wine is lush - from the painted label design to the old school satiny finish in your mouth. Please try this on Friday night - you will be surprised.
Yalumba Shiraz/Viognier $12
 Please give us a do-over.
We poured this a few weeks ago but ran out quickly so you may have missed it.
Don't miss it!
Yalumba is the oldest winery in Australia and they happen to specialize in the Viognier grape from France's Rhone Valley. Odd.
Then they blend it with Oz's signature red Shiraz (Syrah). The result?
A gorgeous, light aromatic red, perfect for the hot weather.
Recommended with charcoal-grilled burgers and sweet corn.
We also recommend drinking this red wine "cool" - not chilled - but simply cooled a bit - you will love it.
Frassina Rosso Toscana $15
Paradiso di Frassina is situated 5 km from Montalcino, in a secluded
position but within easy reach of the town.
It is owned and run by
Giancarlo Cignozzi
Giancarlo is dedicated to the pursuit of perfection in perfect
symbiosis with nature.
He was awarded organic certification in 2008
after 9 years of developing his organic vineyard based on playing
music to the vines.
Sangiovese, Cabernet and Syrah with a touch of Ancellotta. Honestly, the 10% of Ancellotta totally makes the difference. A grown-up, lovely "SuperTuscan" (named because these rascals are growing Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany). Rich, heavy, in keeping with this week's old-school theme.
Now we're talking steaks. Fresh tomatoes are starting to appear - halve those beauties, grill them with the steaks and bury them in olive oil, black pepper and sea salt.
And - if your in the mood - grab that old "Cordeen" out of the attic and see if you can remember how to play Ave Maria - the wine will help - honestly.

Please Join Us - it's fun, informal, and a great
way to start your weekend.
Think of us as Wine - "With Benefits."
