22nd Annual
WINTER BEER & WINE TASTING
Saturday, January 28th 1:00 - 5:00 PM
In-store Tasting
This is perhaps the most popular tasting we have! Could it be that we picked the perfect weekend that drags everyone out of the woodwork for this tasting? It is the Saturday with NO football on TV and is in the heart of the winter months. What else is there to do but sample over 50 wines and 70 beers ?
We will also have some chocolates from Anderson's in Richmond being sampled and some liquor to tempt your taste buds.
This is a don't miss event !

But, as always, it is being held at the beautiful Lehman Mansion. There are appetizers throughout the event along with over 50-60 reserve-style wines being sampled. It is the premier event of the season if you are a red wine lover !

KEEPING IT "STRAIGHT !"

Finding wines that are $tingy on your pocketbook
2010 Callia Alta Malbec
Argentina
$7.99 750 ml // $84.00 case of 12
Another great value ! We couldn't pass this up ! Much of Argentina's Malbec comes from the Mendoza region. This is from the Tulum Valley which also has the high desert climate that makes this grape grow so wonderfully in Argentina. Combine that with the sandy and clay soils and this wine shines. It is medium-bodied with fresh fruit and berry flavors along with a bit of spice on the end. For a wine in this price it has some nice structure.
.
This is what $tingy Grape is all about.
LIQUOR AND BEER SPECIALS
MOR VODKA
A Potato Vodka from Estonia - regularly $25-$30, we now have it for $11.99 750ml bottle. A great gift!!!
PrairieVODKA
An Organic Vodka that was selling for around $25.00. Now $8.99, as we bought a lot!!!
Pierre Ferrand Memoire Cognac 1977 regularly over $200.00, now $99.99
Cognac Ferrand maintains stocks of vintage cognacs in bonded warehouses. These strategic stocks are normally used as part of the blends and are periodically tasted to evaluate their evolution. After a recent tasting, partners Alexandre Gabriel and Jean Dominique Andreu deemed some casks of each of these vintages worthy of bottling as a single vintage cognac. These are stellar!!!
