Two Tastings! 2/20 Wines from France & Germany 2/22 Irish cream   WINES FROM FRANCE & GERMANY Ian from Bonhomie Thursday, February 20th, 6pm-8pm 10% Discount on Tasting Wines Le Fief Noir, Anjou L'Echappee 2018  $21.99 South Africa is the largest producer of Chenin Blanc but it’s in France’s Loire Valley where the varietal truly shines and displays its versatility. The bottle for this tasting comes from Le Fief Noir, an estate located in the village of St-Lambert du Lattay, in the heart of the “Anjou Noir,” which takes its name from the black Schist soil that dominates the terroir here. This unique soil is also a perfect companion with Chennin Blanc. That quality can be tasted in this bottle. It’s fresh and round with a perfect balance of fruit, citrus, minerality and acidity.    Patrick Lambert, Chinon Gourmandise 2018  $19.99 The Patrick Lambert winery is located in the small village of Cravant les Coteaux, about 10 kilometers east of Chinon. This village is home to many Cru vineyards and Lambert is producing high quality Chinon that rival some of his more well-known neighbors. With its savory red fruit and notes of red and black pepper, this bottle delivers a lot of bang for the buck. Chinon is also a versatile, food friendly wine, making a terrific pairing with beef, pork, poultry, meaty fish, and hearty vegetable dishes.    Später-Veit, Riesling Feinherb 2017 1L  $16.99 Weingut Später-Veit is a Mosel Valley estate run by the husband and wife team of Heinz and Silvia Welter. In 1988, Heinz took over winemaking from Silvia's father, continuing the family tradition of crafting complex, age-worthy rieslings from some of the highest quality vineyards on the Piesport slope. For this tasting we’ll be sampling their entry level riesling which is light and fresh with generous fruit, bright lime, crisp acidity and a kiss of sweetness. This one begs for something spicy.    IRISH CREAM Five Farms Irish Cream Saturday, February 22nd, 6pm-8pm 5% Discount On Tasting Spirit Five Farms Irish Cream, 750ml $34.99   Five Farms Irish Cream, 375ml $21.99 Five Farms is a true farm-to-table product, crafted from single batches of fresh cream that are combined with premium Irish Whiskey within 48 hours of collection to become authentic Irish Cream Liqueur. The cream is sourced entirely from five family-owned farms in County Cork, run by families that have a deep connection to the land and a passion for their craft. Five Farms is made with the richest dairy cream, smooth and sweet and luxurious.   The “happy cows” of County Cork produce the highest quality milk, and the collection in single batches assures that Five Farms starts with a rich and creamy base product that is consistent from batch to batch. Irish Whiskey County Cork is also home to the centuries-old tradition of distilling authentic Irish Whiskey. Premium triple-distilled Irish Whiskey has a smoothness and complexity that add depth to the sweetness of the cream. Five Farms contains a greater amount of Irish Whiskey than other brands on the market, setting it apart in the category and allowing for an intensity of whiskey flavor and warmth that is truly one of a kind. The result is a superior Irish Cream Liqueur with the richness of Ireland itself.     Join us Saturday evening for a taste of this delightful Irish Cream!!!
