100% Sales from Beer & Wine Tasting to go to The One Fund

This week our regularly scheduled tasting was supposed to focus on Spain. We just couldn't stomach the idea of going about business as usual, so we decided to revel in some amazing beer and wine you can find right in our own amazing backyard  from people who - like all of us - have been touched by this weeks series of tragic events. Our hearts go out to all of you. We send healing thoughts and condolences to the victims and their families, thanks and appreciation to all the heroes from Monday, but also the enormous number of law enforcement officials who worked so tirelessly to keep us all safe. As we look forward, we want to do what we can to help. 100% of the sales from the tasting wines and beers open this weekend will go to The One Fund, a charity set up to help victims of this week and their families. April 20 (12-8pm) April 21 (1-5pm)

New beers to get excited about....

Oud Beersel Oude Kriek-

Traditional Oude Kriek with an immense flavor of fresh cherries!

It is an artisanal product, made from real cherries and matured in old barrels. They are slowly absorbed into the lambic, which develops a fruity character and a ruby red color.It is unique for this type in that it contains around 400 grams of cherries per liter. Additionally, it has no added sugar and contains no artificial flavorings or preservatives.

Dogfish Head 61 Minute-

This one is SUPER new! The name Sixty-One is a reminder that this beer is Dogfish Head's best-selling 60 Minute IPA plus one new ingredient: Syrah grape must from California! WHAT!? THAT SOUNDS SO GOOD!

WARNING: Don't fall too in love with either of these products, because currently we are only selling one each per customer because supply is limited.

D&L DEAL: Value Bordeaux

It's unfortunate that Bordeaux has become a region most people don't look to for value anymore, especially because the quality at the lower end of the price scale is probably higher than it has ever been.  Don't get me wrong: there is a lot of crap out there, but there are also quite a few sound, pleasant wines that are great options for daily drinkers.  Plus, with occasional problems moving such wines through the supply chain, there are sometimes great deals to be had.  This week's offered wine is a perfect example.

My thoughts: The nose offers notes of bright, fresh red and black currant, tart cherry, and wild raspberry, along with hints of cocoa and vanilla.  The palate is light, zippy, and clean.  This is a fresh, fruitful style of Bordeaux rather than the earthy, sometimes funky style that some wines offer.  It's a pleasant drink at a good price.
