Greetings!
Taking our lead from the top... "whether it is Jews gathering for a second Seder Saturday, retelling the story of Exodus, or Christians celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, both holidays give people strength to face the future through faith. " stated by the president in his recent Saturday address.
We hope this weekend finds you gathering with friends and family to celebrate 'new life' as seen in the budding of Spring, the Opening Day of baseball, or even just a new selection from Cape Cod Package Store to compliment a special meal that lingers into the evening. Below are two that are being featured at tomorrow's in store tasting...

 "Please join us in celebrating the things that truly make a good life: food, friends, la famiglia and of course fantastic wine."
Alberto and Andrea Bocelli
Come enjoy a tasting with Bocelli Prosecco... yes, this wine is related to the famous opera singer, Andrea Bocelli! Long before Andrea Bocelli was famous for his music, the Bocelli family has made classic wines on their Tuscan farm and now share a new Prosecco made in collaboration with the Trevisol family.  You may also find Valentin Bianchi
Sauvignon Blanc 2010 from Chile a refreshing selection! It combines young, delicate and sharp herbal aromas with distinct traces of watermelon and lime peel. |

New Arrivals in the Wine Room
|
 Produced from an indigenous grape from Savoy called Jacquère, Apremont from Jean Perrier Fils, is a clean crisp white wine with great stoniness, limestone dust, offering bright acidity. Pear and a hint of granny smith apple, simple and pure in its expression, this wine is as crisp as the snow capped mountains the grapes are grown on. Try it this weekend at one of your family's gatherings.
