Taste for yourselves

FRIDAY, September 22nd, 2017 ( 5-8PM ) : We have Valerie Wrightson of Elite Imports here to taste some fine Spanish wines ( a lilting lovely Albarino and a silkt-soft-bright red from the Mencia grape - smoother than I have ever tasted for this indigenous Mencia grape variety from Bierzo, a @GrapesOfSpain selection, the first I have tasted in quite awhile, and I must say I like this one very much, was surprised how much I liked it.. And we have another surprise wine from Spain for you all to try as well with Valerie. Come taste this Friday ...  as well as a killer dry Tavel rose, too from Tavel, France. This, too is a more fruit-forward, softer, gentler Tavel than I have tasted in quite some time, and I quite liked it.

ALSO : Rae of REPUBLIC RESTORATIVES will be here to taste again with us the superb Civic Vodka, the Borrough Bourbon and the Rodham Rye whisy, too : something for eveyone. And this is the only DC distillery owned by women, support them.

I JUST sold wine to an Aussie that asked me : " And you reckon it is good? " I siad with a smile quickly, yes, I do, and I reckon you will come back and tell me so about each of these different French wines. At the register I reiterated : " And the reckoning will be the next time you come to the store. " We both smiled. Time will reveal her opinion on each of these fine French wines : two red Burgundy wines : a Julienas 100% 2015 Gamay grape, and a 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Cesar from the small village of Irancy next to Chablis - both reds On Special for $19.99 ,  one fine unoaked Loire Valley Chardonnay, $14.99 a bottle ).

AND  ALSO : Hamid from down the street at : www.TownJewelersInc.com just came by asking for his case of the Armenian Pomegranate wine that his mother likes to drink, and so I called our rep Konstantin that called me back just now ( all in a twenty minute period ), and all is well. The case comes for Hamid's mother tomorrow and as Hamid says : " That is all she drinks. " I loved that. His father said earlier to him : " Be sure it is from Armenia. " Small world, only place that I know it is made.

AND : The Kagor will come back, too from Moldoa, our sweet red that will hit the spot if you like port-like wines , and this will preserve after open for quite some time as well.

THE TRUTH HERE : we are here to support our community, we feel strongly about that, we really do. Come by and let us know what you want, can be a kosher bottle as well as a scratch ticket where our customer just asked me : " What is the best $20 sctratch ticket to buy? " I said let's start with the $2 ticket first, he bought two, spent $4 and got his two dollars back on the second ticket, so he was only out $2! He got his bottle blue bottle of kosher Prosecco and so he is very happy and can enjoy that at sunset tomorrow night.
