We have just received in a few new items that we thought we would share with all of you before the end of the weekend. We have the Las Rocas Garnacha from Spain back in stock. Only TWO cases of this were available to us this year, so get it while you can.
Many of you may remeber the Gougenheim Malbec from Argentina that we had last year. Inexpensive but really wonderful wine. Well it's back, and even better that last years.
The new release of Pinot Noir from Hamilton Russell is also in. "racy acidity providing the ground wire for the rich black cherry, bramble, incense and sweet earth notes, followed by a long, multifaceted finish" 93pt WS. We only have one six pack now and we are not sure if more is going to be available to us.
New cheese and other items will be in on thursday afternoon. Come see us soon. Cheers.

This weekend. . .
Ok a few things to tell you about today:
1. Corned Beef and lots of it. If you have not yet tried our CBR (corned beef on rye, for you lay people) hot then you need to. The Cold War Style Rubens are good too.
2. New cheeses in this week. We received a few new cheeses this week including; a sheep's milk version of the Fleur de Maquis, Ossau Iraty (hard Basque sheeps milk), Midnight Moon (you know you love it), Taleggio and petite muenster. We will also be cutting into a Keen's Cheddar wheel this weekend as well as a perfectly ripe Humboldt Fog.
3. New wine by the glass: Cabanon Augurio. This is a moslty Barbera based wine from Italy that will blow you away. Very fun to drink, you might even call it a quaffer. A glass will set you back $7. Pair that with a bowl full of our cassoulet and you got a pretty good weekend hapening.
Hope to see you all soon at the shop. Cheers.

New Arrivals
Ok, back from the buying trip and here is what we now have:
Magito Zinfandel Panorama 2006
Dark berry, wild berry, and earthy cedar flavors are fresh, vibrant and lively, with nice peppery scents and long, complex finish
Taz Pinot Noir Fiddlesticks Vineyard 2006
Lushly textured with integrated tannins and notes of cocoa, black cherry and black plum
Monchhof Reisling Kabinett MSR Mosel Slate 2007
Juicy and bursting with peach and tangerine flavors 90pts WS
Pfeffingen Reisling Estate Kabinett 2007
Zing of lemon and spice that rides the firm structure to a dry finish.
Domaine Thevenot Le Brun Bourgogne 2005, Haut de Cotes de Nuits
Wow! This is one of my new favorites and the price is going to shock and amaze!
Domaine Paul Lapandéry et Fils, Côte Roannaise "La Rousselière" 2005
100% Gamay fruit grown on all granite soil. Vinified in concrete and aged in older barrels for 12-18months this is what we should all be drinking
Chateau Courtinat Saint Pourcain 2005
From 100% pinot noir fruit with flavors of cherry, strawberry-rhubarb pie and hints of earth and leather, and a bright, but not too intense streak of acidity that runs down the centre. Many of you may remember this little gem from last summer.
We also have several beers back in stock:
Saison Dupont Farmhouse Ale
Moinette Brun
Moinette Blonde
Achouffe Houblon IPA Tripple
Gouden Carolus Grand Cru of the Emperor
This is only a small selection of what we now have in stock. There are many others that I won't even mention for fear of starting a stampede, seriously. I will, however, mention that we also have back in stock the Chateau du Cedre Cahors that so many of you have enjoyed.
Looking forward to seeing all of you in the store soon. Cheers.

New Wines
Many of you might remeber the Zefina Zinfandel and Sangiovese that we had in last fall, for those of you that don't they were REALLY nice wines. Good fruit and acid with out being thin, sweet, or high octane. Really well balanced and well crafted wines. So why am I going through this again? Well, Rob Chowanietz was in yesterday and dropped off a case of each AND sampled me on his new Mourvedre. Needless to say the Mourvedre will be arrving Fri or Sat of this week. Not to miss as most of this production (there is only like 52 cases available) will be going to their new tsting room, and won't likely be availble anywhere else in Walla Walla.
Also we will be receiving some new wines on Thursday so come in and check out what is new. We will have some solid gold favorites (yea, I went there) and some new never seen before jems. All of our wines come with my personal guarantee too:
If you don't like it bring it back, I'll finish it for you. . .Cheers.
