HAPPY TUESDAY
ALL .. IT was an Indian Summer through yesterday, I gardened in our
front yard working on our flower bed, planting two delicate-colored
green-white lavender plants, side-by-side, to weather the elements
together, like many of us do, a team, a couple, working for a better
world, and so much more ...
LIFE IS GOOD, even with all our political uncertainty we still have
to find strength and happiness, a positive spin to enough things to
continue and not collapse with worry and stress and grief, anxiety that
hurts and wounds us so!
ALE & BEER From Santos :
I SMILED as I walked the length of our store and in the beer department my eyes landed on the ...
1) Canadian beer/ ale UNIBROUE called " La Fin du Monde "! I picked
it up, a 4-pack of 12-ounce bottles, a Belgian-style triple ale ,
$12.99 a 4-pack, with 9% alcohol by volume. We can all drink some of
this now and on the 8th of November 2016 after we see the results of our next Presidential election.
BUT , BEING POSITIVE, my eyes searched further and landed on the ...
2)UNIBROUE Canadian " Ephemere ' , an ale made on it's lees (
sediment that is stirred back into the ale as it ages gracefully and
gradually, thus imparting more flavor back into this golden ale elixir
). This 4-pack of 12-ounce bottles is On Special for $10.99 a 4-pack,
and it is perfect for now as this ale is brewed with apple juice,
Coriander and Orange peel, with natural flavor added, too. What fun!
ENJOY BOTH!
3) ' Pumpkin ' Spiced Sour Ale with Brett called FUNKIER by
BOULEVARD SMOKEHOUSE Series Special Release, On Special for $13.99 a
750ml bottle, for a 1 Pt. 9.4Fl. Oz bottle, with 8.5% alcohol by volume,
from Kansas City, Missouri, : " ... Here they're given breattanomces
additional time to develop, adding further complexity and character.
Subtle pumpkin flavor is accented by traditional spicing in a beer that
also showcases the hallmark earthy notes of our house with wild yeast
strain," Enjoy!
4) Kriek Nothwest Sour Ale , ale aged in oak barrels with cherries,
2015 Project from the CASCADE Brewing Company, On Special for $32.99 a
750ml bottle, with 7.1% alcohol by volume, HOUSE OF SOUR, : " Kriek is
a blend of sour red ales aged in oak with wine barrels for up to 17
months with cherries. " Oh yeah, take a slow sip, let the flavors
saturate, infiltrate all your waiting senses, yes!
LIQUEUR - LIQUOR From Jagir :
LIQUEUR -
1) Silver Slivovitz Plum Brandy, Kosher for Passover, from R.
JELINEK , $28.99 a 750ml bottle, from Vizovice, Czech Republic, ...
quite the elixir, the tonic for many ailments possibly, really forward
and intense flavors, great to enjoy at the end of an evening, even
outside for awhile looking up at the stars and the moon. Cheers!
2) Amaro traditional bitter liqueur from ' DONNA ROSA ' from Don
Ciccio & Figli, made in Washington D.C., $43.99 a bottle, for a
750ml bottle, with 20% alcohol by volume, : " History tells us that the
Fjord of Furore was a perfect refuge for them. The ' Janare ' hid
themselves under walnut trees to prepare their mysterious and magical
concoctions.
The legend of local fishermen siad that Donna Rosa was the leader of this witchcraft practice. "

Black ', it is a blend of Darjeeling, hibiscus, lemon peel &

A FEW WINE Inspirations :
1) LUNEA Colli di Luni Vermentino, Italian dry white ( also
called Rolle in France ) that comes from Sardinia, western Tuscany and
also western Liguria ) : On Special for $24.99 : what a delightful
treat. Matt Daniels was nice enough to taste me on this current vintage a
couple of weeks ago. Boy is it full and rich on the palate, silky and
lulling, and lingering, too on the tongue. It speaks to all tongues no
matter what language you speak : highly recommended!
2) BOE Brooklyn Oenology 2014 Pinot Gris, North Fork of Long
Island, $22.99 a bottle, : extra concentration and flavor and taste : I
LOVED IT when I tasted it with winemaker Allie Shaper. Cheers.
3) Chenin Blanc ' Vusani Series ' from South Africa's HOUSE OF
MANDELA, $21.99 a bottle, Fairtrade, a 2014, from the Western Cape ,
with 13.5% alcohol by volume, I was blown away by this rich, layered,
smooth and sunshine-dreamy-creamy-svelte and flavor that lulled and
pleased, rocked and cradled all my tastebuds, yes! Mmmmm good.
4) Kangarilla Road 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon from South
Australia's McLaren Vale, On Special for $21.99 a bottle, with 14.5%
alcohol by volume, I loved drinking this with the owner himself, as well
as with Mark the importer : this is brightness, rightness,
mightness-not-meakness-just-

Cellars, from the " Rennie Vineyard ', made in the Yorkville Highlands,
Mendocino county, northern California, here's toasting you our dear

BOO! Happy Halloween all this week : FEEL the spirit early and enjoy it all week long and into Monday night!
TOMORROW I will go to Sorriso restaurant at 6:30PM
to celebrate with owner Pietro and his wife , and with whoever else
shows up, as I fear that these are the last days through October before
Sorriso in this location closes it's doors for good. You will be missed,
you all have been wonderful, really added a whole lot to our community.
We are thrilled the SORRISO CAFE will still be open at the intersection
of Calvert Streets and Connecticut Avenue, N.W. That is conforting
indeed. Cheers to you all!
THANKS AGAIN, GRAXIE, GRACIAS para todos amicci, amigos, amis, merci! TONY
