THE SHELVES HERE ARE FULLER than ever before as we have made room, that is,
found room for more shelves to put more things out for you all to see the
array and the bounty of items that we have for you all to enjoy. It is
easier to see what we have and to not have to look behind as many bottles
as before , and that is good, easier on both hands, eyes and mind as you
will all not have to ask as often as before if we have a certain item or
not.

LET US KNOW ANY IDEAS that you might all have? Just now a customer that we
know and love asked why it was so hot inside, that it was cooler outside,
so we opened our front door as she suggested.

ON SATURDAY  another customer suggested that we needed to serve some cheese
to bring out the flavors better of the Turkish, Portuguese and Spanish
wines that Andrew Stover was tasting you all on. WE went to Brookville
Market and bought both some Muenster cheese as well as some crackers I I
diced it up and served it and it did add something to the taste of the
wines, made them all taste even better than they already were without the
cheese!

WE HAVE A ' NEW SIGN ' we put outside to advertise our tastings so that you
know about them in case you forget, or do not get our store Tuesday email
or follow us on Twitter, or look at either our Facebook page at : Cleveland
Park Wine & Spirits, or on our web page at : Cleveland Park Wines.

that.

fruit purity and refined complexity. " I remember really liking the
freshness, the fruit-forward qualities, the price and the balance, all
great signs for me of the joys to follow when tasting!

2) Torrontes 2013 from Don Manuel at LEGADO, desde-since 1611, $13.99
a bottle, an old-world winery looking for some modern innovations here, and
they succeed beautifully! Charming, pleasing, fresh and developed flavors
that do the job and more to provide a great sipping experience, inside or
outside.

3) Malbec 2013 from Mendoza, Argentina, $18.49, this ' Alberti ' from
BODEGA CALLE, with 14% alcohol by volume, using old vines to minimize and
roughness or harshness, and gravity-flow to do the same as there is the
least amount of human interference making this hearty, robust, bright and
intense, food-perfect dry and toasty red that will complement anything
grilled, some cheeses, most pate, most dried and cured meats, too. Our
customers love it!

We have Hortense Capelle from Finca Fabian of La Mancha , Spain to say a
few words about their ' new ' Sauvignon Blanc, dry red blend of Tempranillo
and 30% Petite Verdot, and their ' new ' sparkling, too : " come and join

TWO From Italy :

1) We have the " Ferentano " 2012 dry indigenous white from Lazio,
Italy just outside of Rome, from FALESCO , $28.99, a grape I discovered
years ago and that Kelly sold at Palena and I sold here, and we traded
customers over it. Later we were at a tasting with the owner, winemaker
Riccardo Cotarella and we tasted it with him and a few others at Johhny's
On The Half Shell ( is that the name of the restaurant in the old La
Colline location across from the  Union train station , I think so? ). I am
happy to have it here, and with it being an exceptional white wine with
many layers of flavor, so much honey and nut, mineral and complexity, yet
polish, creamy-dreaminess, a voluptuousness that is like layers of satin
sheets on one's tongue. An experience, and not far from Rome and where Pope
Francis lives ...

2) RA Mitello Molise Rosso DOC , a 2011 from DI MAJO NORANTE, $18.99,
using the Aglianico and the Multipulciano grapes. I tried it recently with
both Jody Jackman and also with Keith, both that work for Winebow Imports,

flavorful, tasty and memorable dry red from southern Italy! What a great
treat, great to enjoy with a meal.

Isreal's Judean Hills, from the ELLA Valley Vineyards, $18.99, with 14.5%
alcohol by volume, a blend of 82% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3%
Petit Verdot, a softer, kinder, more gentle Bordeaux blend dry red that is
kosher and also kosher for Passover. Try some.

2) Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, a 2009 single vineyard, that is also
kosher and also kosher for Passover, with 14% alcohol, a bit thicker,
denser, deeper and more voluptuous taste here, will please and relax and
