So much new is going on, I don't know where
to start.
Oenoteca
In order to bring you the best of food and wine , we are
in the middle of great changes.
We are under construction in the old River Keeper's room.
The floor has been ripped out, the walls have been taken
down to the brick. This will become the new tasting and
events room.
We are working on seating, kitchens, and licenses for the
on and off license.
I will be keeping you up to date on our progress and expected
time schedules. With pictures as soon as I can figure out
how THAT works....
Wine Tastings will Continue Unabated!
Royal Tokaji, Furmint, Hungary. A very RARE grape. It has
a light sherry perfume and taste at first before the floral
notes develope. $9.99
Carica, Sauvignon Blanc, California. With Clean, tropical
flavors and crisp acidity, Carica Sauvignon Blanc opens
with floral notes and aromas of pineapple, grapefruit and
gooseberry with a hint of toasty oak. Tasting of guava,
fig and passion fruit, the wine has a prolonged, refreshing
lime accented finish. $11.99
Rocca delle Macie, Morellino di Scansano, Tuscany. The
nose is open, rich with ripe black cherry, earth, and a
hint of vanilla spice. The texture is glassy smooth, carrying
ample black cherry and red raspberry fruit. Tannins are
mild but firm, acidity is medium. The wine finishes with
good red fruit flavors mixed with earth and hints of bell
pepper and spice. $17.99
Bodegas Illana, Casa da Illana, 45% Bobal, 30% Tempranillo,
25% Syrah, Spain. Brilliant and clean cherry-garnet red.
First impression gives creamy earthy nuances and sweet tannins
from the noble oak. Revealing its personality with the glass
in movement: blackberry, cherry and violets, licorice, with
mineral and fine wood nuances. Soft and fruity palate. A
flavorful and original wine with structure and body. $17.99
But of course!
Old Speckled Hen, England.A full, smooth flavour very easy
to drink. Its rich amber colour and superb fruity aromas
are complemented by a delicious blend of malty tastes. Toffee
and malt combine with bitterness on the back of the tongue
to give a balanced sweetness, followed by a refreshingly
dry finish. $2.49
Belhaven Scottish Ale. Malty and hoppy, Belhaven Scottish
Ale delivers a sweet, smooth and creamy finish. It has a
stunning ruby colour in the glass. $2.69
Arrogant Bastard Ale. Come on, you know someone who needs
this beer! $5.99
Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale. The mother of all pumpkin
ales. It is heartier, spicier, and more "caramelly"
and "pumpkiny" than its faint brethren. With Cinnamon,
Nutmeg and a touch of cardamom and clove giving this beer
a spicy, full-bodied flavor. This truly is an Imperial Pumpkin
Ale. $3.49
