Wine & Cheese Tasting - Every Friday 5-8 p.m. - No Charge Broadbent Vino Verde - $12 
This is a true classic Vinho Verde, non vintage and made to drink on the spot! It is light in color with a slight spritz from bubbles. On the nose it is refreshing, light and lively, on the palate it is also light (only 9% alcohol] and delicious. It is very "more-ish," an English tasting term meaning that you want to drink more of it! In fact, it is so light, refreshing and easy to drink, it's a good thing it is low alcohol. The acidity is refreshing, and the wine is great fun. WINE SPECTATOR: Tasting Highlights:
Great White Wine Values "Exciting white wines from around the world, all priced at or below $15." Bartholomew Broadbent's deep roots in Portugal inspired him to create his own range of table wines. Broadbent's vision was to produce the most reliable and traditional of all Vinho Verdes and to resolve the usual whine that Vinho Verde never tastes like it tastes in Portugal. The solution was twofold: to partner with a winery that had consistent production, and to ship the wines in refrigerated containers. The latter enables a consistent wine that tastes fresh and spritzy, just as it would taste in Portugal. Since its launch in 2005, Broadbent Vinho Verde has rapidly earned the reputation as one of the finest Vinho Verdes. Segura Viudas - $11 
From the renowned cava region in Spain comes sparkling wines that reflect the history of the Segura Viudas estate and the passionate winemaking of the Ferrer family. These winemakers were selected for their skill in allowing vineyards to speak through the wine, reflflecting the belief that the essence of a region can be best expressed through its traditional wines. 87 Points "Best Buy". "Simple, nice and not trying too hard; this basic brut is graced with nice apple and citrus aromas. The palate is wet, juicy and classic, with crisp apple, green herb and melon flavors. Round, clean and just crisp enough." - Wine Enthusiast Magazine An ideal Cava to start a meal, or a loyal companion for sea foods, (clams, lobsters, anchovies), pasta dishes such as noodles with seafood sprinkled with extra virgin olive oil, or even a warm summer salad. This Cava is often served by The King Of Spain - and he can have whatever he desires - Please try it with us on Friday. San Sole Pinot Grigio - $10 
"This is an exceptional Pinot Grigio with all the crispness that you want! Very refreshing with nice citrus and tropical fruit flavors." - Wine Spectator. We have sold - literally - thousands of bottles of this wine. It remains one of the top picks of our customers and most buy it by the case because of its great value. It is an absolutely perfect summer table wine. Great with food, family and friends. If you have not tried it yet - you must. And Friday night is the perfect opportunity. ···· Give us a call if you have any other questions The Lines Are Open: 8 6 0 - 4 4 3 - 6 8 1 7 8 6 0 - 4 4 3 - 9 4 6 3 Please pass this information along to your friends, it will help us to get the word out to everybody.
