Thirsty Blog Thursday

We got caught up in the Thirsty Thursday frenzy today, as one of our sales reps brought in a couple of dozen new products to evaluate. While we're tasting and debating the new products, we'll review some other recent additions.

Stone Enjoy By 07.04.2014

You might have in your hands a devastatingly fresh double IPA. While freshness is a key component of many beers - especially big, citrusy, floral IPAs - Stone has taken it further, a lot further, in this IPA. You see, they specifically brewed it NOT to last. We've not only gone to extensive lengths to ensure that you're getting this beer in your hands within an extraordinarily short window, Stone made sure that the Enjoy By date isn't randomly etched in tiny text somewhere on the label, to be overlooked by all but the most attentive of retailers and consumers. Instead, they've sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA.

Please call the store to determine availability of this limited-release beer.


Iris Pinot Gris

"This pale straw colored Oregon Pinot Gris displays enticing aromas of pear, cardamom, orange blossom and lemon zest. On the pallet, it bursts with concentrated citrus, apple, and gooseberry flavors accompanied by an excellent acid balance followed by a long, clean citrus, mango finish."
91 points, Wine Enthusiast.

Only $11.99 in the Bottle Club®.





2008 Urbion Rioja Crianza

The 2008 Urbion Crianza is the same blend as the Cuvee. It has a more -serious- bouquet with blackberry, a touch of burnt toast and Asian spices. The palate is very well-balanced with fine, supple tannins. It has superb purity and refinement with lovely blackberry and licorice towards the finish. Once again, this is unbeatable value. Drink now-2016.

 

While this wine scored 91 points from Wine Advocate, more importantly, it scored two thumbs up from Lawrenceville's Senior Wine Manager, Brandon Bartfalvi!


Only $11.96 in the Bottle Club®.  

Cheers!
