Happy Halloween! Join Gabriela Tonight To Taste Her Fine Romanian Wines : Perhaps Tonight Because Of Halloween On FRiday We Can Refer To Her As Countess Drakula?!? Cheers : BOO! Enjoy, Join Us Tonight, Tuesday, Oct. 28th, 2014 ... No Charge ...

Cleveland Park Wine Cleveland Park Beer, Liquor & Wine
Featuring a wide, international selection of fine wines, micro-brews and
spirits
LOTS OF SPOOKS and GOBLINS, Caspers The Ghost, Count Draculas, Harry
Potters, Princesses and Ariels and POwer Rangers and Dynamite Bonapartes,
Batmans, Spidermans, Cinderellas, Beauties and Beasts soon enough ...

TONIGHT, HOWEVER we have Gabriela that comes from Romania and she will be
here with her ' liquid red and white blood-wine ' to taste with you all,
made from indigenous blood-clones that have morphed over the centuries into
fine wine clones and hybrids and unique grapes like the Feteasca Neagra and
the Babesca Neagra that are bottled MONSER ( pronounced in Romanian as : "
Mon chere ", as well as HEREDITAS.

AND SOMEHOW the Cabernet Sauvignon grape got through the Romanian security
( Count Drakula, you are slipping ! ) and found it's way into one of these
HEREDITAS bottles and we will be tasting that as well as the indigenous
white that I, for my life, for my blood, for my very existence, I cannot
remember it's name now! HELP ME Gabriela, Michael, Katie : what's it
called?!?

SO TONIGHT a much more reassuring vision and presence, personality and
pleasure and person and wine-educator in the form of Gabriela will be here
to lead us into the dungeons, the cellars, the haunted castles and
vineyards of Romania that provide us with some of the greatest wines
available to us, thanks to Gabriela and her husband ... and the prices are
all really reasonable, all so affordable. I think that the Cabernet
Sauvignon is the most expensive with the others all being under $12 a
bottle to you? Come tonight and discover Romania through it's fine wines.

NEWS UPDATE : We have Jean Gagliolo of Prestige Beverage Group with
Benjamin Melin-Jones of Clement Rhums of Martinique ( Benjamin's mother is
French and his father is American ) , and Benjamin and Jean have here two '
new items ' to us that we do not yet carry : 1) CLEMENT Mahina Coco, ...
and the 2) Limited Edition CLEMENT by JonONE ( the artist of this label )
VSOP Rhum. Here's Benjamin to tell you what he knows : " It is exciting to
have Clement by JonONE introduced in DC. Only a few stores will be able to
get this bottle because we have limited production. Clement Mahina Coco is
a new expression to the US market. It is a very light and luscious coconut
liqueur perfectly married with Rhum Agricole, which allows you to always
have a good quality coconut ingredient for your cocktails and cuisine.
Nothing else compares" By the way, we just had this past weekend here
Nikolai here tasting the Premiere Canne, On Special for $32.99, as well as
the CLEMENTE Select Barrel Rhum, $32.99, and both did really well. We did
not taste the orange liqueur as it was out of stock at the time. Cheers,
TONY   thanks Jean et Benjamin.

BENJAMIN JUST SIGNED his bottles of Rhum for any of you looking for fine
rhum/rum to give as gifts to your family and friends! This was fun, this
was serendipitous, this was totally unexpected for me and I enjoyed it
thoroughly. Cheers, ...
