Cleveland Park Beer, Liquor & Wine
Featuring a wide, international selection of fine wines, micro-brews and
spirits
There's more selections coming Today/tomorrow-from now on
Things are good here at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits thanks to you
our customers that continue to come through our front doors in search of
whatever suits your fancy, whatever you've just read about, a gift, a
special request of a family member - whatever, you come and we try our best
to help you in your quest, your journey through the thick and thin of this
vast alcohol business today.
To do this better our selection is being added to this week as we ran
quite low on a number of products in the dead of the summer and it's
oppresive heat and humidity at times. Overall we have been blessed with
quite a mild summer where the weather is concerned.

is a non-chill filtered single malt, $46.99. I believe it is new. Go to :

WINES : Ah the balm that soothes and soothes ...
WHITES -
1) Saint-Veran 2007, $19.99 dry white burgundy from LABOURE-ROI is
drinking beautifully now. I tried this not too long ago with our local rep
Claire Rimbaud of Paris, France. LABOURE-ROI is on a roll and we bought
several of their better value wines. They are excellent : polished,
refined, stylish - a great meeting of the old and the new worlds.
2) Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay ( all white burgundy is Chardonnay
unless otherwise stated as Aligote or Pinot Blanc ) 2007 of the CHATEAU
LABOURE-ROI, $23.99 is another flavorful, dry white burgundy that is very
pleasing now and after the first glass will have you looking around for a
meal to enjoy the second glass with ...
3) Bourgogne Chardonnay " Maximum " 2007, $21.99 from LABOURE-ROI
has even more depth and weight and intensity than the two I've already
mentioned. This is when you need more power and density in the wine to hold
up to more seasoned and flavorful dishes. It's another wineer and very well
priced for all the wine , weight and flavors that it holds.
4) " Due Uve " 2008 from BERTANI in Italy ( $17.99 ) is a
captivating, intriguing dry white blend of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon
Blanc. I really liked it this last time that I tried it. It's got lots and
lots of flavor and distinct personality : bright, lively - explodes from
the glass...
5) 2008" Vineyard Creations " from DOUGLAS GREEN in the Cape of Good
Hope, South Africa , $9.99 is a really refreshing South African wine to
enjoy now and just about anytime. Come get some this evening for after
work.
ROSE : Dry, Of Course -
1) Atlantis 2007 dry rose from the Greek island of Atlantis is a
deep-colored, very flavorful rose that is best when served alongside a
meal. I could have really enjoyed a glass just now with my #51 all-seafood
from Nam Viet restaurant or last night with my smoked trout that I bought
and served while I grilled our meal outside. It's ON SALE for $10.99 ( reg
: $18 ) from our friend Sotiris Bafitis.
REDS :
1) Morgon single cru Gamay beaujolais, 2007 ( $22.99 ) from
LABOURE-ROI is really showing quite nice now. I like the deep dark cherry
flavors and the fresh acidity and extroverted character that draws one in
quickly. This is a great way to celebrate and enjoy some of these last
warmer days of summer with or without food. Chill it slightly and enjoy
something off the grill : some salmon, some ham, some white meats ... or
even take it on a picnic, stop by a brook and put it into the cold water
while you prepare your meal and then serves lightly-refreshed form the
waters of the brook ...
2) " Ripasso " style of Valpolicella ( called Valpaneta ) from
BERTANI ( 2006, $21.99 ) is a great way to get a more enriched, complex
wine from the young Corvino grapes. They have the privelege of sitting and
having the must of the Amarone grapes combined to add the extra levels of
taste to make both the wine more interesting and multi-dimensional. This is
a medium-to-light-bodied dry red that is 120% perfect for this time of
year, slightly chilled and it will hold it's own with almost any meal that
people usually enjoy in these warmer days. It's another way to say " thanks
" to the milder summer that we have been enjoying here in Washington D.C.
3) " Red " from ST. FRANCIS winery in Sonoma 2005, $9.99 is a
fabulous blend of exciting and enticing flavors of the Merlot, Syrah,
Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon when they combine and meet each and
every time as if for the very time : that spells magic my friend. It's
packed with luscious ripe flavors and is hard to resist once you taste it.
