IT'S THE HARD WEEK AFTER LABOR DAY WEEKEND

IT'S ALWAYS SO HARD FOR EVERYONE MENTALLY on this week that follows our Labor
Day weekend as many take their last swim in their neighborhood pools, lifeguards
return to school or go off to college and for many students to start school
whatever grade they may be in. I was witness this weekend to this spectacle and
even with a grayer day many young children were playing merrily to their hearts'
content in our pool, even waiting patiently, feet dangling over the edge of the
two diving boards for the bell to ring letting them know that they could once
again dive and jump into the pool water on this last day. As I said in last
week's email : everyone was squeezing the last drops of joy and relaxation and
summer that they could before this Tuesday morning!

LET US HELP YOU make this process less painful than it has to be. You simply
have to see it as another opportunity, a chance, a challenge and something to
look forward to as hard as it may seem now.

MORE WINES FOR YOU ALL :

2 Dry Reds :

1) Salice Salentino Riserva 2008 from CANTELE ( $13.99 a bottle, 13%
alcohol by volume, www.cantele.it, from Guagnano, Italy in Puglia ) : is made
from 100% Negroamaro grapes, is a D.O.C. wine, the flavors are really
well-balanced with softer tannins and acids so the fruit pulls everything
together and the taste is so satisfying!

2) Monferrato Rosso 2007 From SULIN ( $17.99, 14.5% alcohol by volume, ) is
a blend of the grapes I believe with a lot of Barbera in it. Brennan tasted the
Barbera when he was here this past Labor Day weekend and we enjoyed that very
much. Too bad we could not open this as well as I would have loved to have tried
them side-by-side. I know that this dry rosso 2007 is fuller and more robust and
flavorful. It probably also needs a meal. From Italy's famous and fabulous
Piemonte region this is a well-focused, firm and tasty dry red Italian blend. I
did try it back in March of 2012 and that is why it is here. I really liked it
then and will probably like it even more now that it has another several months
of bottle age since my taste buds last crossed paths with it. Cheers. Thanks for
the excellent Saturday wine-tasting here with you Brennan from 2-6 PM.

1 Top-Flight Dry Sparkling Wine :

1) Brut Cava Gran Reserva Spanish sparkling wine from BOHIGAS ( $26.99,
12.5% alcohol by volume, www.TradewindsSpecialty.com ) is a really handsome,
class-act dry bubbly when you want to really celebrate well, don't want to spend
a lot and want to feel like a millionaire as you sip this smooth-flavorful and
dry Spanish Cava that will certainly make you hungry for an assortment of tapas.
Cheers!
