The
Redsox wines are in! This years charity wines from
Longball Vineyards have finally arrived. Vintage Papi
(Cab/Merlot blend), Captain’s Cabernet, and
Sauvignyoouuk Blanc make up the trio of 2008 Sox wines.
These wines are California appellations this time, have
great packaging, and a portion of the proceeds goes to
each pla
yers designated charity. We will have a huge Redsox Wine Tasting like we did last year, unfortunately
our pal Kevin from Commonwealth is booked until Friday
June 27th but that will give us plenty of
time to load up on Sox give-a-ways and try to get some
tickets to raffle off like last year. These wines will
make great Father’s Day gifts and we do have plenty in
stock this year so we won’t have to limit them.
We
will be launching a new beer for us, Opa-Opa tonight
(Thursday) with a tasting from 4:30 to 7:30. This is a
local brewery from Southam
pton, MA and I’ve heard good
things about them. We will sample you on Opa-Opa Light,
Red Rock Amber Ale, and Opa-Opa IPA. We have 6-packs of
each and they all come in a mixed 12 pk. as well.
I will
be doing a wine tasting this Friday night from 4 to 7
PM. I just have no idea what we will taste yet. Having
done close to 100 wines a couple weeks ago with about ½
of them new wines it seems like we’ve tried them all
recently. I’m thinking with the price of gas about to
break $4 we need to find some good value wines. So I
will search for a few of
them, mix in a closeout
perhaps, maybe sneak in 1 Redsox Wine (sorry I can’t
wait a month), and find at least 1 heavy hitter to make
it worth a visit. I’m also open to any suggestions on
wines you may have been looking at but wanted to try
before purchasing. And no…I’m afraid that doesn’t mean
Opus One and the high end lay downs in the back cases.
Well
it was a seat squirmer but the Celtics won last night
and are just 1 victory away from their 1st
NBA final in over 20 years. I don’t know what to think
of the Redsox as they streak through the first few
months of the season. And don’t forget the Boston
Militia as they play this Saturday night at home as they
make a run towards the IWFL playoffs. Let’s hope this
weekend is as nice weather-wise as the holiday weekend
was.
