2009 BORDEAUX REPORT... Hello everyone. As many of you know, I was in Bordeaux for a week tasting the 09 vintage from the barrel. Let me cut to the chase and say that it will definitely be a great vintage. However, it is my opinion that some appellations did better than others and not all of the wines in specific appellations will be great. I feel that both the 00 and 05 are greater vintages across the board although each vintage is very different stylistically.

Mastrojanni This unique producer fashions a mostly traditional style of Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino and supplements with a more modern cuvee known as San Pio. We have all three in stock. Valdicava Considered by many to be a modernist producer in Montalcino, Valdicava manages to fashion deeply concentrated versions of Sangiovese without losing the varietal character of this noble grape. Three new bottlings have just arrived. Please note that the availability and price may change at any time.

 Free In-Store Producer Tasting featuring: Blair Gibbs, General Manager of Spy Valley (New Zealand) Spy Valley Wines is situated on the sunny southern side of Marlborough's Wairau Valley, nestled on the terraces of the Omaka river are the vineyards of Johnson Estate. Bryan and Jan Johnson established the first of their 380 acres of estate vineyards in 1993. Pioneers in what was then a Marlborough sub region, the Lower Waihopai development continued with fruit being grown and sold to other wine companies. From vintage 2000 wine was produced and sold under the Spy Valley label. The brand name SPY VALLEY® is derived from the presence of a satellite communications monitoring station (spy base) nearby, part of the Echelon Global Network.  Free Beer Tasting featuring: Old Dominion Brewery The tale of Old Dominion begins in 1989 with a man and a dream. That man was Jerry Bailey. Like a lot of folks in the DC metro area, he had a 9-5 job with the Federal Government. Working for the US Agency for International Development, Jerry’s dedication, integrity, and big heart helped to aid families in several foreign countries. Although content with his life, he longed for something greater. The first seeds of Jerry’s passion for brewing were planted when his brother, Tom, gave him a home brewing kit as a Christmas gift in 1978. In 1989, Old Dominion Brewing Company opened its doors to the public and was an immediate success. Word spread throughout the DC area like wildfire. Old Dominion’s loyal following continued to grow and soon became the craft beer of choice in many local pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets.
