Wine Tasting - Saturday May 14th 2016

Weekly Wine Tasting
Saturday, May 14th
with Christopher Lawther of
Hartley & Parker



Whispering Angel Rose 2015 $21.99
An irresistible pink! Charming, refreshing, refined, and with plenty of juicy, enticing, strawberry and berry fruit. This is a rosé that should be in everyone’s cellars, without exception. Drinkable is an understatement and you’ll keep on coming back for seconds!

Broglia Gavi Di Gavi 2014 $19.99
Intense, clean and fruity. Ripe golden plums and green apples are edged with flinty, salty tones. Lively acidity further extends fairly rich palate. Easy to drink and a good food wine to boot.

Mural Douro Red 2013 $12.99

Made from a blend of grapes, this reserva is a serious and structured wine that will need some aging. The tannins are solid, firm and show nice concentration on the palate. At the moment, the ripe fruit that is there is buried under this tannic edifice. This fine wine needs time—enjoy from 2018.

Condado De Haza Ribera Del Duero 2012 $24.99
"This rich red shows a deep core of plum, bramble and mineral, with notes of loam and game that impart a savory character. Solid tannins support a thick texture, while balsamic acidity keeps this balanced. Austere but harmonious. Drink now through 2024." 93pts Wine Spectator

Fresh Slice $8.99 6pkc / $16.99 12pkc
This White IPA recipe tips the scales with a slice of clementine, a hit of coriander and an 1/8th of...wait, what? This one features a crisp, fresh citrus ripeness deriving from additions of clementine juice and sweet orange peel in the brew process. The first Otter Creek can offering, this is one slice you'll be holding all summer long!

Steampipe $10.99 12pkb
We burned the rulebooks, and when the smoke cleared we created this counter-culture interpretation of a California-style common lager dosed with juicy hop flavors. Mosaic and Galaxy hops shine through a golden, orange-hued lager that’s as clean and free as the open road.

Backseat Berner $10.99 6pkc

The first year-round IPA in Otter Creek history, Backseat Berner is an American beauty that's loaded with juicy hops. Like Oslo, Brewmaster Mike's 150 pound Bernese mountain dog that adorns the label, Backseat Berner is your everyday companion for life's adventures.


Variety Pack $14.99 12pkb
