| Wine Review by Gordon Downey |
 New to our wine room is the 2008 vintage La Cana Albarino from Rias Baixas, Spain. This Jorge Ordonez selection hails from the northernmost area of Rias Baixas in Galicia and is made from 40 year old Albarino vines. Due to the cool maritime influence, long growing season and 2,200 hours of sunlight annually this wine boasts lots of crisp acidity and exudes pineapple aromas, ripe peaches, pears and bright citrus notes. La Cana finishes in a balanced but dry style.
Pairs well with seafood such as fresh shellfish, sole and haddock. For other culinary pairings, try La Cana with lemon pepper chicken and fresh herbs or garden fresh tomato and goat cheese salad.
Please stop by, talk to Gordon and try it for yourself, this is a beautiful vino!
Join us weekly on Saturday afternoons for wine tastin

Five Rivers Winery's "Save a Goddess" Campaign encourages wine lovers to tell a story in 250 words or less about a woman who has survived or is battling breast, ovarian, cervical or ovarian cancer; or about a caregiver who has gone above and beyond in helping someone struggling with the disease. Bi-monthly winners will receive a $250 Spa Finders gift certificate, and their story may appear on the winery's Web site. One Grand Prize winner will be featured on ABC's "Pink With a Twist" special next year.

 The air is crisp,the leaves are changing colors and and the sun setting earlier each day. Stop by to pick up a bottle of wine and enjoy an easy dinner...with Stonewall Kitchen's Burgundy Marinade. Besides the obvious enjoyment a beautiful glass or two of red wine brings, it seems to be a chef's secret ingredient when marinating meats. A favorite marinade for steaks, especially a lean flank, London broil or NY Strip. Give the meat lots of time to marinate and absorb the robust flavors. Click here to view their recipe for Burgungy Beef Brisket, a perfect Sunday diinner to cook while watching the game!
Another product that might inspire a home cooked meal is Stonewall Kitchen's Maine Maple Champagne Mustard infused with one of Maine's treasures -- pure maple syrup. Splendid with traditional baked ham or as a glaze for chicken or pork roasts. A great pretzel dip, too.
Stonewall Kitchen's Strawberry Brandied Apricot Jam is a sweet combination of fresh strawberries with the enticing, intense flavor of apricots soaked in warm brandy. This product is featured in a Plum Tart recipe, found on their website. | |
