The Perfect Addition To
Your Holiday Cocktail Hour
 Don't Forget Your Port
1 - Dow LBV 2004 $26/btl
2 - Dow's Vintage Porto 2003 $95/btl
3 - Dow's Vintage Porto 1994 $110/bt
PURE AFTER-DINNER PLEASURE Something special to sip with Stilton, nuts, or maybe just one more slice of pie. The 1994 vintage was one of the century's best.
Our Serving and pairing suggestions:
Vintage Port needs to be decanted since it is aged in bottle. Serve it in a glass with at least a six ounce capacity so that you may appreciate the wine's aromas. Vintage Port is best served with creamy blue cheeses such as Point Reyes Original Blue or a fine Stilton or Roquefort. Once opened it should be consumed within a few days.
"Deep garnet color. The nose is just beginning to evolve into musky, dried plum and raisin aromas with whiffs of tree bark, nutmeg, cumin and cloves. The palate is seriously big and voluptuous with medium to high acidity and a medium to firm level of fine tannins. Very long finish."

Wine Tasting
Friday November 19th
6-9 p.m. - No Charge
Remind Your Friends
 
Stags Leap Artemis Carbernet Sauvignon 2007 $54
If you want to bring The Californian Big Gun to the eat-a-thon next week, we submit this Stag's Leap Wine Cellars bottling for your consideration.
Napa fruit blended with touches of Petit Verdot and Merlot, this has a large presence, tons of ripe blackberry and cedar, velvety mouth feel and persistent finish with elegant oak treatment.
"Focused and complex, the wine opens with aromas and flavors of black fruit-blackberry, currant, and plum-that slowly give way to layers of nutmeg, rosemary, and warm pie crust. This firmly structured and full-bodied wine gains depth and richness through the finish." Rated 90 Points -

Certain to be a crowd pleaser, come early!Louis Max on DEEP SALE!
Our favorite baby Burgundies of the year just took a HUGE discount. We had to offer them to you - it is the right thing to do.
Louis Max Beaucharme Chardonnay $14 Let's start with this white Burgundy. The 2009 has a citrus zing but retains the weight to stand up to spicy Thanksgiving dishes. Aromatic, cool and pleasant. Pale gold, with fresh pear, butter and white flowers.
Louis Max Beaucharme Pinot Noir $14
Georges DuBeouf Beaujolais Nouveau $12 Yeahhh, we know, we've heard it all before, but we too are prone to our bouts of cheezy sentimentality - because it's FUN! Come on everyone, Le Nouveau Est Arrive!!
Light, zingy Gamay from 2010. The grand unveiling is Thursday and we'll serve it out of buckets with ladles on Friday. Have a sip of this holiday tradition - you may even like it! Or toss it to the floor in disgust! Merriment will ensue either way!
