I put a few new wines on the wine list today - later on I'll post it to the Website so you can see them there, but for now, let me just mention a few. We've done very well with the Clayhouse Adobe Red for a few months now, but it's time to move on...sorry Barry! I am pretty excited about the new Italian one offered by the glass: Tormaresca Neprica. It is a blend of 40% Negroamaro, 30% Primitivo, and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. NePriCa - get it? Here's what the Wine Enthusiast has to say:
"You cannot get better value than this. Ripe berry notes, cassis, molasses and cola serve as a preface for the thick texture and smooth density that this wine delivers to the palate. The wine is thick and succulent with smooth tannins and great length: excellent quality for this very low price."
-Wine Enthusiast
Nothing I like better than to find a great value that I can serve at a great price that still tastes great, eh?
Another interesting new member of our wine list is a Pinot Gris from the Beringer family, under their Taz label. Again, the Wine Enthusiast loves this wine, giving the 2007 a score of 90, calling it a "Best Buy", and saying:
"With just a touch of oak that adds a little cream, this beautiful wine is a textbook example of why Pinot Gris has been so successful in California. Fully dry and explosively crisp in acidity, the flavors are exotic and complex, ranging from pink grapefruits and limes through lychees and figs to honeysuckle flowers and clove-scented vanilla. A great food wine and, at this price, a sommelier’s dream." — S.H. (11/15/2008)
We will be offering this lucious sounding wine by the bottle, for $22.
There are a few other new choices, including the return of the popular 1919 Malbec and an Albarino, both by the glass. Come have a glass - or two! - at the BT bar this weekend.
