But Wait, There's More

As we've noted previously, we get many more new products in any given week than we can possibly discuss in this blog. After all, we have other topics to share. But not today. Here's a look at more new deliveries to Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge.

Troegs Cultivator Helles Bock. Emerging from springtime’s fertile ground, our Cultivator celebrates the start of hop-growing season as sprawling fields of hop rhizomes climb and tether to hop bines. This spring bock delivers hints of toasted grains, fresh baked bread and delicate floral hops. 6.9% ABV, 25 IBU's. Pair with steamed crabs, fried chicken or gumbo.

Red Schooner, Voyage 2. This is an all-new wine from the Wagner family, the people who bring us Caymus and other incredible wines.

The story: Over time, an idea started to take shape. Could we create a wine here at Caymus using fruit from another part of the world? Was there a lesson for us in the now

commonplace ability to fi nd high-quality fruit at the local grocery store (including grapes), sourced from thousands of miles away? Th ere are tons of fruit being shipped on ocean freighters every day, and so we considered this project to be not so crazy a er all. RED SCHOONER is a “Red Wine of the World,” an experiment of more than five years in the making. is the second bottling is made from Mendoza Malbec grapes yet produced into wine and barrel aged at our home location of Caymus Vineyards right in the center of the Napa Valley.

RED SCHOONER VOYAGE 2: A “Caymus style” of Mendoza Malbec. De nitely an iron st in a velvet glove. Rich fine tannin - a Mendoza dust fine texture. Th ere is a very refi ned character to this wine, which is special and singular. This wine is unfi ned and has already thrown a bit of sediment, representing the rich and natural concentration of abundant quality.

TASTING NOTES: A dense, dark red, this wine opens up with the scent of ripe plums and cherries, layered with hints of unsweetened baking chocolate. On the palate, it is powerful, concentrated, supple and persistent, with generous fl avors of French oak that support but don’t dominate. Th e wine carries through to a complete fi nish, balanced and integrated with so tannins that imbue it with both structure and balance.

Cosentino Winery was founded in 1980 with a commitment to making only the highest quality wines from California’s greatest vineyards. Because these same ideals ring as true today as they did in the beginning, Cosentino wines have steadily grown in quality and reputation over the years and are considered by many to be among the finest wines made in the world. We're bringing in two new wines from Cosentino.

THE FRANC is deep crimson in color with sweet and spicy notes of fresh herbs and cloves on the nose. On the palate, intense flavors of fruit with hints of black pepper on the palate. Ends with great structure and long finish.

Pairs with just about anything off the BBQ – for an elegant touch, try with roast duck with

juniper berry compote.

THE DARK is the color of ink with aromas of juniper and spice. The lush, velvety texture is full of blackberry, cassis and plum flavors with a long finish that holds just a touch of chocolate.

THE Dark can hold its own against short ribs and lamb but is equally delicious to linger over after dinner, maybe with a chunk of smoky blue.

Either wine is only $12.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Brunehaut Tripel Organic. Look: A more coppery appearance and maintained, antique or

light with a good persistent head.

Nose: The nose is relatively discreet and elegant with fermented touches and fine yeasts. Quite fresh.

In the mouth: The flavor is full of freshness despite the alcohol content. Then there is the strong side, it is full, fat and long. Nevertheless elegance remains at the end. Neither too sugary nor excessive caramel. A beer to drink with some hard cheeses, a young Comté with a fruity balance.

We also have a limited supply of Brunehaut Amber Organic.
