People seem to be finally on-board with dry roses from around the world. We always carry a selection made in Europe, the United States, South Africa, and more. We just brought a great Portuguese Duoro dry 2007 rose that is still quite bright, full-flavored and freshQUINTA Do CARQUEIJAL that we are able to sell ON SALE for $5.99. It's a great value as it will complement many foods in this warm, sometimes humid weather and with a good chill is a steal for only $6 a bottle.
We also have some of the " new and exciting " OWL COLLECTION " Fiefs Vendeens " Loir Valley, Mareuil J. MOURAT ( $16.49 ) dry and more elegant, more-polished dry French rose that is bottled in the same bottle-shape that was discovered on their property and left there by the Romans a very long time ago. This adds some history to the event as you share some with family and friends perhaps this Memorial Day weekend. It's a very elegant and polished dry rose with a more soft peach, flower-rose-petal taste that will be nice all by itself as well as with some salmon and other delicately-smoked fish, even turkey... and many other things, too.
And for some pure fun we have some of the SAN GIUSEPPE Original Pink Veneto Pinot Grigio rose( $14.49 ) that has the most delicate blush color of the three roses. It will be lovely outside this weekend if the weather becomes close to unbearable and you all still want to be outside. It's a fun, classic package that dates back to the twenties perhaps of art deco and earlier?
Come check some things out today ( Thursday, May 27th, 2010 ) and beat the rush here tomorrow and on Saturday for Memorial Weekend celebrations.
Both these and many of our others will be nice to enjoy even outside with this persistent humidity tugging at our pants and trying to make us break into a sweat.
Cheers, come see us : we have lots to celebrate this Memorial Day weekend and to get you ready for the summer and Father's Day which is right around the corner.
WE will also be receiving an infusion of wines from the Downey Italian portfolio later today as well as some excellent Vinho Verdes tomorrow from Dionysos Imports. Vinho Verde dry white. slightly sparkling and with lower alcohols is a great way to go to help ward off the heat and the humidity that plagues us here anually in Washington D.C. and the surrounding areas.
