LAURENT KRAFTVOUVRAY LOIREFRANCE 2012
CHRIS K.
The quality of this legendary Chenin Blanc from The Loire Valley’s prestigious Vouvray appellation remains unsurpassed. Hailing from very old vines (30-90 years) the 2012 Laurent Kraft, Vouvray is luscious and full bodied. Being drier in style this wine is sure to complement simple white fish dishes, soufflés or other baked egg recipes and vegetable stir-fry.

HENRIK
DAVID F.
I visit Languedoc-Roussillon every year, and every year I’m more impressed with the wines made there. This Cremant (French sparkling wines made outside of the Champagne region) is quite floral and has a subtle nuttiness highlighted by an elegant, slightly yeasty mouth-feel. The name? Apparently, Thomas Jefferson was quite the fan of sparkling wines from Limoux. He was such a fan, that it’s said no other sparkling wines were to be found in his cellar! Cheers!

A thirst-quencher if there ever was one, Marshall Arrowhead Pale Ale is the perfect summer companion to help you beat the heat.

STILLWATER MONO4-PACK, 12 OZ. BOTTLES
Mono pours a hazed golden, with a huge white head that lingers. Lime and papaya notes lead in the aroma, with some underlying notes like Meyer lemon and fresh-cut flowers. This is citrus-forward from that first sip, with generous zest and tropical character, but it concludes with soft toasty malt and a subtle lasting bitterness.

Wine Enthusiast’s 2014 Winemaker of the Year, Charles Smith, is a visionary. Rock star to some, flashy and ego driven to others, one thing is for sure: the man knows how to produce outstanding product. Secco Brut Rose is no exception. Made from 100% Pinot Noir grown along the northeast coast of Italy, Secco’s Rose is as rebellious as it is elegant. It succeeds in combining the light, fizzy bubble style of a Prosecco with the intricate and pleasurable qualities of the Pinot Noir grape. Rich notes of strawberries and dark cherries coincide with bready flavors to make this a great summer sparkler. Whether enjoyed with mild cheeses or on its own, this Rose’ deserves a spot on any patio during the hot months to come.

EL COCO DOBLEAT THE TASTING BAR ON JULY 16
We’re thankful that not ALL spirits have inundated us with thousands of flavors. (We’re looking at YOU, vodka...) Tequila is one of those spirits that has stood the test of time. It remains, by and large, no frills. Some had low expectations for 1800’s coconut tequila, but were pleasantly surprised. This cocktail is a perfect showcase for the spirit and a perfect hot weather beater.
INGREDIENTS:• 2 ounces 1800 Coconut Tequila• The Juice of 1 Whole Lime• ¾ ounce Fresh Squeezed Grapefruit Juice• ½ ounce Simple Syrup
Shake and pour into tall glass.Garnish with the spent lime shell.

Tour de France. The drama of
a single person on two wheels,

premiere wine regions. You can
do what they can’t; stop and
enjoy the fine vintages of the
Tour’s 21 Stages.
We’ll be serving samples paralleling the Tour de France schedule at the Tasting Bar. So, as they’ll likely say to kick off the Tour: on your mark, get set…commencez!

Frozen BerriesInstead of IcePut any type of berry in an ice tray, add a little water and you’ve got a beautiful way to keep that cocktail cool.
Fresh AirJust opening your wine doesn’t allow it to truly breathe properly; aerators are ideal for this and will make a big difference
