New years celebrations tastings continue... 4pm-7pm

As we ramp up to the new year we'll offer 2 tastings today beginning at 4:00pm. Former employee and Winebow Key Brand Manager, Carl Vitale is at the tasting counter today showing a couple more house favorites. If you have never tasted Billecart Brut Reserve, you are in for a real treat. Billed as "Black is the new yellow" (an obvious poke at Veuve) they have drawn a line in the sand and are producing a well made Champagne at its price point. The other sparkler Carl will be showing is Zardetto Prosecco. The world is in love with Prosecco right now and with good reason. They are light and lively which makes them fun to drink. You still get the celebratory "pop" of the cork that always livens everyone up and it won't drain your wallet. Thats not all, scroll down to see what Renzo is up to!

Billecart Brut Reserve $44.99
With its fine blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, all sourced from the best vineyards in Champagne, this cuvée has remained largely unchanged for almost 50 years. Carefully crafted and lovingly matured, Brut Réserve is a real treat for the champagne lover: once you've tasted it, you'll long for more. Lively and sparkling with fine delicate bubbles and a creamy, long lasting fizz, the straw-coloured champagne has a nose of ripe pear with whiffs of new mown hay. It is full-flavoured and fruity, yet clean and fresh on the palate with a lingering aftertaste. Simply delicious and perfect for any occasion.

Zardetto Prosecco $14.99
This wine is from Italy, Veneto region, Prosecco Di Conegliano-valdobb sub-region. Crystal clear with a hearty white foam and fine perlage. Fresh fragrant aromas, a delicately soft and harmonious taste are the hallmarks of this quintessential aperitif wine. Prosecco is a wine to be enjoyed in the company of friends served with shellfish or in the local way with tasty fried fish. Ancient poets used to praise ”Fried sole and wine from Conejan...”, but lets not forget white meats and fresh cheese. Made from 95% Prosecco, 5% chardonnay Sparkling PROSECCO Wine


At the same time the wine counter is busy with Carl and his sparklers, Renzo, Not to be out done by the wine geeks on the other side of the store is taking command of the beer side of things with Sam Adams "Infinium" beer Champagne. Sam Adams is always trying new things at their Brewery and the past 2 years they have released this holiday special in limited quantities (more here).

Renzo was able to get his hands on a couple of cases so he has popped it open today and is sampling it.

Sam Adams Infinium $19.99
A completely new beer style with only the four traditional beer ingredients. That mission brought together European heritage and American ingenuity with a collaboration between the brewers of Weihenstephan and Samuel Adams. The innovation and new approach to brewing traditions resulted in the creation of this new and unique beer. A great collaboration!
