Oscar Night Selections

Please Join Us At The Weekly Wine Tasting

Every Friday Night From 6 - 9 p.m.

No Charge

"And The Winner Is....?"

We have considered a few of the films and many of the wines - here are a few choices for your consideration. And on Friday night we can discuss the merits of many others.

For "Black Swan," we suggest the 2007 Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs -- literally "white from black," it's a white sparkling wine made from pinot noir grapes.

"Inception" calls for a layered 2006 Sauvignon Blanc "Prince in his Caves"

Farina Vineyard. At $54.99, that's also a bigger budget wine for a bigger-budget film.

"127 Hours" requires a drink for long journeys: The 1996 Broadbent Colheita Madeira. Madeira was fortified with extra alcohol by 18th century sailors to withstand extreme conditions, and this example is aged to an even tastier nutty flavor -- appropriate for a guy who decided to go "canyoneering" alone.

But if you're not into alone time, "The Social Network" is probably your pic. We suggest the 2007 Estezargues "From the Tank" Cotes-du-Rhone, a boxed wine that contains a whopping four bottles -- perfect for reliving college days.

Here are our nominees for Friday night - please join us it will be a lively night.

Some of you may remember "Record Stores."

The Telegraph is one of those cool stores that people wish they had dicovered sooner.Husband and wife Rich and Daphne Martin opened Telegraph in August of 2010. In the store, which has a cool yet laid-back and friendly vibe, they sell new and used vinyl and CDs of all genres with an emphasis on local talent.

They also carry books and chapbooks, DVDs, turntables, and a miscellany of what they term "musical and literary ephemera."

STAY TUNED:

We will be sharing all of the other news and information in the coming emails.

As always we welcome all of your questions, comments, and suggestions.

We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you soon.

Please say hello the next time you visit.
