WE HAVE WINES FROM STATES IN AMERICA ...
COME TASTE THE WINES FROM
LESSER-KNOWN STATES this coming Saturday, October 16th, 2010 from 1-5PM.
We have a whole line-up which includes I believe ten states in all and
we are really excited about this as this will be a real palate and
eye-opener for most of us, and that includes Chris and me as
well!
I WROTE THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH back in October 2010 : 7 years ago, and here now on Saturday, Oct. 14th, 2017 2-6PM
( come taste Kim's fine wines like his Les Copains - The Friends 2015
dry white blend of 47% Roussanne, 21% Viognier, 18% Marsanne, and 14%
Picpoul Blanc, , 13.1% alcohol by volume, $18.49 a bottle, 888 cases
made only, go to : www.mcphersoncellars.com
for more info on the wines. Kim will be here with Andrew Stover of
Vino50 Selections ), we have Kim Mcpherson the owner and winemaker of
his own McPherson Cellars winery, yes! Come taste, be amazed, fall in
love with Kim's sparkling wine, too : so gentle, so mild, so pleasing to
sip, $20.49 a bottle, 12.9% alcohol by volume, 780 cases made.
BUT HEY We also have a great DC spirits' tasting this Friday
with Colt of 1/8th One-Eight Spirits right here in Ivy City, Washington
D.C., and back in 2010 I do not think we even knew about this excellent
distillery? They may have not even been in business back then? That is
how quickly things are evolving for all of us. Many inspired, talented
and hard-working people out there willing to follow their dreams to a
bedrock of solid reality!
SPEAKING OF EVOLUTION, Kim's
father was the first to have a vineyard making wine in Texas , in
Lubbock where McPherson Cellars is, too. Kim's father built his winery
out of cinder blocks because he knew it would be shot at, and it was,
that was called LLANO Vineyard Winery. It was a first, a Kim sure is
making small production, high-quality wines to excite us and make us
take another look, another taste, pause, reconsider, like and smile and
ask for more, please?!?!!!
WE REALLY ARE enjoying selling
many organic wines and spirits, and beers, too : and they all do quite
well, just want to be sure you all know that we have many organic,
biodynamic and ecologica and vegan wines, spirits here for you all :
like PUR LIQUR from Germany in 1) Blood Orange, 2) Poire William, 3)
Elderflower, ... and with TIREAS we have excellent tequila in
Blanco-Silver, Reposado, and also Anejo. We also always have from Maine
the PEAK Organic like their Nut Brown Ale! All are now tried-and-true,
and have a real home here at our store.
IN WINE that is organic there are
too many to mention. I will however talk about our latest two new
arrivals : from VINA LOS VALLES - BODEGAS VINICOLA REAL :
1) Tempranillo 2014 Rioja, On

Take a balloon ride over the vineyards when you drink it, just like the picture on the label, si si si si claro que si amigos!
2) Crianza 2010, made with
organic grapes, On Special for $14.99 : 2010 was a really truly great
year for wine in Spain, and this is no exception. You may drink it now
but it will hold in the bottle for many years and continue to flourish.

to add definition and accents to many a meal. Buy some to keep and some
to enjoy now.

THE NEWS here and in our neighborhood -
WE ARE WORKING ON Two New
Sections for our long rack of wines that runs along the office wall just
past our wine-tasting table.
1) There will be a section for
wines that will cost more than ten dollars, but when you buy any two of
them you pay $20 for them. The choices and selections will change as we
find exciting wines to offer there. That will be juts beside the tasting
table.
2) The section next to it will be
for Organic, Biodynamic, Ecological, Agricultura, Fair Trade, Vegan.
This way you will be able to have your choices to combine with your
foods that are also organic. A win-win situation as that is what we do
best : offer you fine liquid beer, wine, spirits' selections to
complement both your meals and gatherings. And we know these wines. It
is our business, we can give you any insights we may have to better
facilitate the success of your moments with family, neighbors, business
associates and friends!
WE WANT TO MAKE YOUR LIVES easier.
ALSO :
I am writing and putting up many
more labels on our shelves of regions, grape varieties, - all to make it
easier to shop here, especially on Sundays when Chris and I are not
here. We hope this will be helpful. We want to do anything we can to be
more helpful!
SO : Things are always happening
here! WE are all thrilled, we want to be set up and rocking for our
holiday season that is around the corner. Exciting news all, really.
ALWAYS SOMETHING exciting here
and in the neighborhood! We have been selling Chilean wines now for many
years and we love them, really we do.
AS YOU KNOW or will come to know,
we feel very strongly about our place here in the community and that we
all work together to make this the great area that it is. With this in
mind we are helping to host the event BRUSHES N BOTTLES , the very first
one, across the street this Thursday, October 12th, 2017 6:30-8 PM.
The cost is $30 to you to come and paint there. Everything is supplied
for you there, and the wine is paid for in the $30. I will be on hand ,
too to pour and speak about the wines.
OF COURSE THE WINE is here at the
store and you can come buy whatever you want here to take home and
enjoy after the event. We are open here till 9PM.
Chris will be here to help you here, as I will be over at the UPTOWN
ARTS DC space across the street. They are on Instagram as UPTOWNARTSDC ,
you should check them out.
THE WINE IS COMING from Manuel Rojas of his own La Isla Corp, and we will have a selection of five wines I believe to pour :
1) In SITU Reserva Syrah
2) ALMA Cabernet Sauvignon
3) DOS PASOS Chardonnay
4) ALMA Sauvignon Blanc
5)DOS PASOS Sauvignon Blanc
ALL available here anytime. If we are out we will order more.
I JUST INTRODUCED Marc to Manuel
over at Mr. Chen's Organic restaurant. It was great. Look at our
Facebook account at : Cleveland Park Wine & Spirits to see us all
there! A selfie I took of all of us. The meal was great. I organized
this there to give them some more business and to draw our community
closer, it worked, too : the food was delicious. My favorite at lunch
today was the Shrimp Tempura - mmmmmm.
I WAS THRILLED to also see a
familiar face over at Mr. Chen's - one of the servers that worked at NAM
VIET that always had a broad smile and grin and good cheer and
enthusiasm, and desire to help us in any way possible. I always felt
great knowing he was there. You will all recognize him. He just started
there yesterday, so go by, say hello, have a meal, order take-out, yes!
AT MR CHEN'S Organic Restaurant
we spoke about this first event for them over at the UPTOWNARTSDC space
and Marc said it was an attempt to draw more people over to the space,
and inside, not outside, to include more people there, and to make the
space more meaningful for more of us.
MARC SAID that it was billed as
an hour-and-a-half event, but it will go longer than that probably. The
idea is to get people there, to make them feel comfortable, and to give
everyone a special moment to remember and share with others later. And
to create some art, too. How many of us say we want to make art and
never find the time? Come and do this and enjoy the wines that will help
us all relax and smile and feel less stressed and hard-edged from the
day's activities.
SO THE WINE WILL POUR graciously
and with a big smile from me, and we will do everything possible to make
this the best event we possibly can. Trust us all on that. between me,
Manuel, Marc, Maps, Chris and Day, and many others - everyone is
committed to making this a great venue here in Cleveland Park. I think
they have a lease there through January. All exciting indeed.
IT IS NICE TO HAVE an active,
lively, youthful, artful , cultural ' happenin' ' environment for us all
here in Cleveland Park. We need it, this is a great outlet, a great
escape, a wonderful addition to the community that works and stays and
plays and grows stronger, more happy, more successful together.
SO EVEN IF YOU DO NOT PAY online
please show up. We need you support, we need you here and there - in
Cleveland Park, a great neighborhood.
WHAT FOLLOWS BELOW is an old Tuesday
store email that I wrote and posted back in October 2010 : read it if
you have time, and ask for current availability and pricing of any items
you might be interested in? Cheers, TONY 10/10/2017
Maps just stopped by from the Uptown Arts DC space and we discussed our Thursday event there - what fun! TONY

JOIN US : EVERYONE IS WELCOME. No need to call and reserve - simply show up, taste and get great prices on all of the wines that we will be tasting this Saturday. WE ALSO HAVE BEEN A CENTRAL PART of the 17th Annual Taste Of Georgetown event this past Saturday, October 9th, 2010 from 11AM-4 PM at the Grace church ( Georgetown Ministry Center ) that last year raised twenty-five thousand dollars to help feed and shelter the homeless.
WE, here at the store
TOGETHER WITH BOTH LVDH Imports and TOAD HOLLOW Vineyards ( CA. and
FRANCE ) provided the wines - 5 types - and poured them with long lines
waiting for us patiently. We had a few of our regular customers show up
but mostly Sam Gessner of LVDH and the folks at TOAD HOLLOW that were
nice enough to donate their excellent wines ( thanks Joe Nagan, you are
the best! ).
WE poured the 1) "
Francine's Selection Unoaked Chardonnay , $17.49 from the Sonoma, CA.,
the 2) 2009 Dry Pinot Noir rose " Eye Of The Toad " , the 3) 2008
Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, the 4) 2006 Merlot Reserve, $17.49 and
the 5) " Risque " southwest of the Blanquette De Limoux $18.9. When
Thomas Jefferson died he had seven cases of Blanquette de Limoux in his
cellars.
WE POURED the off-dry quite
fruity one that tastes like nectarines, peaches and pears. They also
make the dry version and both will be back here tomorrow
so if you attended the tasting and would like to get some come on by
then. Otherwise as of today we have some of the Merlot, the Pinot Noir
and the dry rose of Pinot Noir here. I will post pictures on our web
page soon as well as on my blog at : chatwine.blogspot.com as well as at : chatart.blogspot.com.
Check them out : there was a real slice of life at this five-hour event
with many food vendors , the wines of South Africa like BOSCHENDAL ,
Sam Adams Octoberfest ( poured by our sales rep Patrick O'Laughlin ) and
the ST. GERMAIN elderflower liqueur that they made into a sangria
drink.
THERE WERE DOGS UP FOR
ADOPTION as well as retired Marine USMC Captain Edward Rahr Borcherdt (
10 years involved with Grace Church fundraiser for the homeless , also
on the board that constructed the Korean War Memorial ) and eighty
years-old now, dancers of Ballroom Dance, Ballet Stretch, Latin Dance,
Salsa and Tango ( 202-422-6250
: Ann and Victor. Of course there was also great live Jazz Music, too
with a lovely lady singing here heart out, a lovely lady on keyboards, a
great bass player as well as a saxophonist. I took pictures of
everything so check them out later at your convenience.
OH, THREE CUSTOMERS OF OURS
CAME, TOO : 2 young ladies and one young gentleman : one was a Democrat,
one was a Republican, and the young gentleman was an Independent. Wow.
AND ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS,
JAMES is married to Rosalind Wiseman that wrote the book that " Mean
Girls " the movie was based on ( she was also just on the the Anderson
Cooper CNN show last week with Dr. Phil, many teenagers, Bowersox a very
talented young lady runner-up on American Idol, and other experts all
talking about bullies and the on-line as well as in the school and
workplace intimidation of bullies ) that was taking digital pictures as
he is a teacher of film here in Georgetown through the digital medium
and Boston University was it James?
IT WAS GREAT TO SEE SO MANY
NEW FACES and some of those that I knew already. What an incredible day
it was : just like on our Cleveland Park Day a week or so earlier.
AND IT WAS ALL FOR A GOOD
CAUSE. Sam and I got back to the store and I set things up to do my
In-Store one-and-ahalf-hour Beginner's Class where we tasted a " killer "
Cuvee Counoise - indigenous French grape variety - DOMAINE MONPERTUIS
Vignoble de la Ramiere Vin De Pays Du Gard, " Cuvee Counoise, $15.99 :
as well as another wondrously deadly Barbera d"Alba 2006 Pasquero
HILBERG ( $16.49 ). Both had such incredible integrity and original
taste and character that was all theirs and no other's. I liked this :
we all did very much.
JOIN US THIS SATURDAY before the " Big Theme
Wine-Tasting " here. We will start at 11:15 AM this Saturday and stop at 12:30 PM
as we have to be set for the " Big-Theme " Wine-Tasting. It will be a
continuation of the past successful three Beginner's Classes and I think
that I will do another general European base with one of each of the
six wines from one of each of the different countries. I want to mix
things up, I want to use the indigenous grape varieties and wines that
are really typical of a region. COST IS $10 per person. I need
ten-fifteen people per class to do these so please respond to this email
and ley me know that you wish to attend this 4th Beginner's Win-Tasting
here at the back of our store.
NEVER A DULL MOMENT HERE:
WHO MAKES IT HAPPEN? WE / YOU - TOGETHER WE MAKE IT HAPPEN. Remember the
movie " Working Girl " with Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver?!?
BEER - Santos Rivera's Picks :
1) Imperial IPA ,
Mendocino Brewing Company ( On Special for $8.99, 4-pack 12-oz bottles ,
, Saratoga Springs, CA. ) celebrating over 25 years of excellence.
2) HELL HATH NO FURY Ale from Bell's ( On Special for $16.99 6-pack 12 oz bottles, Comstock, MI www.bellsbeer.com ) ia on-fire here as a brand. Better check this one out!
3) HARVEST Long Trail
Brown Ale ( On Special for $9.49 a 6-pack of 12 oz. bottles, Vermont,
Bridgewater Corners ) is " new and exciting " here at Cleveland Park
Wines.
LIQUEUR / LIQUOR From Ravinder Sharma :
1) Linoncello de Sorrento from CASONI ( $28.99 ) is back by request and name. Glad to have it back on our shelves.
2) Tequila el Mayor Anejo,
$44.99, 40% alc. by volume, 750 ml bottle is another " new " face for
us here in Cleveland Park, Great bottle, too.
WINES From Chris Barker & Me :
WHITES :
1) Pinot Grigio Delle Venezia 2009, $10.99, from ALLEGRINI : bright, fresh, lively - just right.
2) House Wine White Dry
Blend Of 78% Chardonnay, 11% Riesling, 5% Muscat , 5% Gewurztraminer and
1% Pinot Gris - from the Columbia Valley, 2008 - fun, flavorful,
stimulating.Viognier 2009 Valle De Chanarmuyo Arggentina, this
Chanarmuyo Estate Chamas Honnorat Family Wines dry white is quite
complex and intense : great food wine at $10.99.
3) Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Monterey County, CA. from CHALONE VINEYARDS ( $14.99 ) is nice to have
back here in the store. We will taste it out soon with you as we think
you need to taste it to believe and know how good it really is!
4) Sauvignon Blanc Chalk
Hill 2009 " Acier ", CA. ( $19.99 ) has got it's own very distinct, very
personal and flavorful profile. It's a very fine, refined food wine.
Great package, too.
JUST IN : BIG NEWS:
Angostura Bitters from Trinidad is coming through out doors as I type!
It's been out-of-stock now for months everywhere! Rush on down and get
some quick!!!!!
REDS :
1) Carignan Vieilles
Vignes/Old Vines 2007 French red from the MAS LAVAIL " Terre d'Ardoise
", $11.99 is quite flavorful and pungent and yet smooth it's got layer
after layer and will be best when served with a meal. It's a " new "
Robert Kacher Selection that we tasted here this past Cleveland Park
Day.
2) LONDON CAB, $13.99,
2006 from Chalk Hill, California ( made by CHATEAU FELICE ) has got some
nice depth and good character and personality. It's smooth, too but
needs a meal to flesh it out / and make it fuller. I tasted it just
recently with family owner Samantha and rep Chip of Atlantic Fine Wines.
3) Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Mendoza, Argentina, " Collection Privada " from NAVARRO CORREAS (
$15.99 ) is showing really well once again. Kelly Bigel our rep for the
Pinnacle House just tasted it here last Saturday with our customers and I
found it firm, earthy and pithy and the older style of traditional
wine-making. Less pretty, less fruity but an excellent food wine. You
need to try it with a meal.
4) Pinotage 2009 South Africa ( $16.49 ) from BARISTA really had a gentler, calmer, rounder and more=pleasing bent on the Pinotage grape that is synonymous with South Africa. It's quite lovely and a bit of food would really make this match ideal. Great packaging, too.
5) Henry's Passion 2008
Merlot ( $16.99 ) made by Chip's son that unfortunately passed away at
much too early of an age is here to honor and remember him and his
passion working at the CHATEAU FELICE in Chalk Hill, California before
he passed away a couple of years ago. This Merlot is quite outstanding
and very smooth and bright, fleshy and wonderful and not expensive at
all.
6) La Provencale 2008
California ( $19.99 0) dry red blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and
Carignane from JADE MOUNTAIN Vineyard was open here by Kelly Bigel of
the Pinnacle House this past Saturday
and I liked it's heartier, more packed and punctuated caves and nooks
and crannies-valleys of flavor that for me cried out for some foo. It's
quite a treat.
7) " Phantom " dry red CA.
blend from BOGLE WINERY ( $26.49 ) is a blend of Old Vines Zinfandel
and Old Vines Mourvedre. It's HUGE- BOLD-Columned and definitely in need
of food at this young age, 2007. Maybe with age - 5-10 years it will
blossom and fill out and become rounded and elegant?
HALF BOTTLES :
1) Sancerre 2008 ( $12.99 ) from Bernard REVERDY Et Fils is drinking beautifully now - open and flavorful.
2) Chateau Montaud Cotes
Du Provence dry, smooth, silky, velvety, elegant French rose ( $9.99 )
is still a great choice now as the weather slowly changes.
3) Cabernet Sauvignon
Reserve 2005 ( On Special for $7.99 ) from ANTIS in Mendoza, Argentina
has matured into a lovely dry and smooth food Cabernet for a nice steak
or some good cheese.
4) Malbec Reserva 2007
from TERRAZAS, Mendoza, Argentina is a nice wine to enjoy with a meal.
It's still got lots of flavor and stuffing, $11.99 a bottle.
