What's
New?
IT'S
BACK!!!
ChocoVine's Long Awaited Return!
When we first tasted this unique
product last November, we knew it was a winner. That's why we
ordered 20 cases of it! Who knew that wouldn't be nearly
enough?
Once you got a taste of it, we
couldn't keep it on the shelves! And once we blew through that
supply, we ran the supplier's stocks dry too!
Well, the wait is now
over!
We are happy to announce that we
have gotten our long awaited re-supply, just in time for Easter!
(At least if you want some for Easter, it would be wise to get it
now!)
For those of you who weren't quite
sure about this one and decided to wait, we can only say that you have a
second chance - they don't come along often, so take advantage of it
while you can.
And for those who have never heard
about ChocoVine, it's a Dutch chocolate drink mixed with Cabernet
Sauvignon. No matter what you might think this combination might taste
like, you can't imagine it until you've tasted it! It's simply
unbelievable!
And best of all, since
we've ordered so much, the price has gone down...
it's now just $12.99! Get it while supplies
last!
New from "Brewer's
Art"
"La Petroleuse" Biere du
Garde
The Brewer's Art has just released their
new Biere du Garde named in honor of the women of the Paris Commune of
1871, and is called "La Petroleuse"!
This version of the popular "farmhouse ale"
style known as Biere du Garde is a deep golden blond, and has a
full-bodied malty flavor tempered by an earthy hop component and
highlighted by a spicy note that characterizes the style.
If you are familiar with the Belgian Saison
style, it is like its lighter, rounder, sweeter cousin - more focused on
the malt than on the spicy tartness of a Saison, but with all of the
goodness.
It weighs in at 7% ABV, but the alcohol is
so well encorporated and the texture so smooth, it can be a bit
deceiving. All in all, Brewer's Art has done it again with a great
example of the style!
Wine World was fortunate to get in on the
limited bottle release, and we have them on our shelves now priced at
just $10.49 for the 750 ml "cork-in-a-cage" bottle! At this price, they
won't last long, so get yours now while supplies are
available.
 
New York WhiskeyFirst Since Prohibition, Produced By...

This is exciting stuff! New
American Whiskey! The Tuthilltown distillers are reviving a tradition of
making small batches of distilled spirits from native New York fruits
and grains.
Before Prohibition, over 1000 "farm
distillers" in New York practiced this tradition with recipes handed
down for generations. Since its repeal, there hasn't been a single
legally distilled and aged grain spirit in New York.
Tuthilltown Spirits is leading
the way toward reviving the small artisanal distillery, and we
find ourselves wondering if this "small batch" renaissance will do for
whiskey what the microbrew industry did for beer!
Wine World is pleased to introduce
6 of their most prized products, presented in the 375 ml "Squat-Bottle"
format.
These handcrafted
whiskies bring a new depth of flavor and a certain "uniqueness" to every
batch - each has its own distinct level of spiciness that can never
be exactly duplicated, due to variations in the grist, the season and
even the humidity.
Adding to the artisanal character, the batch
number is shown on the label, and each bottle is individually
numbered to list its rank within that batch.
Here's our line-up:
- Tuthilltown New York Whiskey - $44.99
- Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey - $44.99
- Hudson Single Malt Whiskey - $44.99
- Hudson Baby Bourbon Whiskey - $44.99
- Hudson 4-Grain Bourbon - $44.99
- Hudson "Unaged" New York Corn Whiskey -
$33.99

If you're ready for something truly
new and unique, pick up one of these great new whiskies, and give it a
try! You'll be glad you did!
DuClaw "Colossus"
Now On
Our Shelves!
DuClaw Brewing Company head brewer Jim
Wagner has been
burning the midnight oil preparing this absolute work of art
for release.
Every artist has his masterpiece for which he will be
remembered - Michelangelo had "David", Leonardo had the "Mona
Lisa", Rodin "The Thinker"...
... now Jim Wagner has created
"Colossus"!
Brewed
in 2006, then aged like a wine or a brandy to allow its unique flavors
to mature and its alcohol presence to mellow, Colossus was conceived to
be emmense! It is dark amber in color, full-bodied, and outrageously
flavorful.
It is perceptively sweet with notes of
apple and a surprisingly tame alcohol presence on the palate in light of
its staggering 21% ABV!
This astounding alcohol content
(independantly verified by the Siebel Institute) was achieved solely
through fermentation; no alcohol was introduced to fortify it, nor was
the product distilled.
Make no mistake, this beer is everything it's
name implies: Colossally flavorful, colossally potent, colossally
good beer!
This vehemoth has just been released, and is on our
shelves today priced at just $22.49 per 22 oz bottle. As you can
imagine, with nearly 4 years in production, this one is in very
limited supply, and when it's gone, it's gone.
Don't be left out, get yours today and show your
appreciation for true art!

Absolut "Boston"
Third "City" Vodka - Just
Released!
Okay all of you tea partiers out
there, we've got your party supplies! It's new, it's
here, and it's got an attitude!
Now Absolut "Boston" Vodka takes
its place alongside Absolut "New Orleans" and "Los
Angeles".
This one is infused with black tea
and Elderflower for a unique flavor profile that provides some
one-of-a-kind cocktail mixtures.
Try the "3-2-1 Boston Tea Party"
Martini - 3 parts Boston, 2 parts lemon juice, 1 part simple
syrup.
Or if you're a Red Sox fan, try the
"Fenway Homer" with 1 part Boston, 2 parts white grape juice, topped
with ginger ale and served in a highball glass!
This one's so new, the recipe book
is still being written, so put on your mixologist cap and make some
magic of your own. Who knows, you might be immortalized with your very
own cocktail!
As with the others in
the "city" series, a portion of the sales goes to a local charity.
In this case, that charity is Charles River
Conservancy.
Absolut "Boston" is here now in the
1-Liter bottle, and is priced right at just $23.99.
Get the tea
party started!

Orogeny
Zone!
For Lovers of Big Full Pinot
Noirs!
This one is sure to hit the spot!
The 2006 "Green Valley" Pinot Noir from Orogeny Vineyards is one of the
nicest new examples of this finicky varietal we've tasted in quite some
time!
Perhaps it is one silver
lining to an otherwise dismal economic picture, but some fantastic small
production wineries that may formerly have allocated their wares
exclusively to fine dining establishments are becoming more
available to retail outlets.
Elizabeth is always on the lookout
for great opportunities when they occasionally present themselves, but
rarely does one this nice come along at this price! It can be yours for
just $30.99, and she wanted to make sure that word got out to our
readers!
The fruit is the shining star for
this beautiful wine. It comes from a small section in the southwestern
part of the Russian River appellation called "Green Valley". Already
steps are being taken to dedicate this area as its own viticultural area
based on its distinct climate, foggier and cooler than the rest of the
Russian River region.
The name "Orogeny"
actually refers to a geological shift that created the Green Valley, but
one taste and, who knows, the earth may move for you! 
The flavor profile is a big part of
what makes this wine so very special. Lots of Bing cherry,
pomegranate and toffee notes lead the way, with a hint of spicy oak
layered with ginger, nutmeg and coriander. On the palate, the bright
cherry flavors dominate, supported by lively notes of blackberry and
blueberry that linger on the candied-cherry finish.
The lush fruit continues to develop
with time in the glass, so that by the end of the meal, you realize that
the wine has evolved with every bite! Perhaps it is this aspect that
makes this wine so special!
Some lovely pairings for this wine
that spring to mind include seared duck breast with cherry sauce, herb
crusted salmon, pork tenderloin with pear-ginger chutney, or simply
a wild mushroom risotto. Each of these will pull its own accompaniment
from the flavors in Orogeny.
As I
implied earlier, this one was somewhat of a fluke that we just
happened to come across based on a situational anomaly, and
although we hope to be able to continue stocking it, supplies are
limited. Try it, and if your assessment agrees with ours, you might
consider laying a couple bottles down in your
cellar!
Honig Cabernet
New Arrival from Rutherford!
Calling all lovers of big, meaty Cabs - do
we have a wine for you!
Elizabeth has just scored a few bottles of the 2006 Cabernet
Sauvignon from the Honig Vineyard and Winery in the Napa Valley,
and at just $35.99, we think you're going to really like it!
Winemaker Kristin Belair has a strong desire to maintain the
integrity of the famous "Rutherford Dust" in which her grapes are grown,
and sustainable agriculture is more than just a talking point with her.
The vineyards are planted with cover crops to  provide nutrients to the vines rather than
using chemical fertilizers.
Owl boxes have been placed to handle any rodent problems that might
otherwise require pesticides.
Bat houses and bluebird boxes line the perimeter, providing all of
the "insect repellant" she'd ever need.
They even run their tractors on biodeisel!
The result is some of the most pristene grapes, grown in the most
natural way possible, in some of the world's most renowned soil - all of
which offers Kristin a perfect medium with which to perform her
artistry.
Each block was harvested seperately, and kept seperate throughout
the winemaking process. In this way, she can control the exact effect of
the final blend - each batch is representative of only that section of
the vineyard!
After precise blending, the wine was aged in oak barrels for 18
months before being bottled and released to us!
Here's how they describe this lovely wine: "Blackberry,
cherry and plum fruit aromas and flavors are accented by vanilla,
allspice and cocoa. The richly textured mid-palate is balanced by medium
tannins and a lengthy finish."
Like I said, we think you're really going to like
it!

The Last Drop!
Quite
Literally...
... the last drop of a 50 year
old Scotch is now available at Wine
World!
This one is definitely not for the
faint of heart! It's probably the most rare, most unique, and certainly
the most expensive bottle that Wine World has ever handled.
We know that it's not for everyone - in fact, it's only for a
very special kind of connoisseur or collector.
This whisky was distilled at the end of the Eisenhauer
administration (1960), and blended about the same time the last human
footprint was left on the moon (1972). After blending, the final drops
were deposited into new Sherry casks where it rested for the next 36
years!
When opened for bottling, only about a third of the cask remained
for human consumption, the rest relegated to "the angels'
share"!
This remainder was quickly bottled by hand, and sealed with wax
before evaporation could claim another drop. It was not chilled,
filtered, or diluted in any way, but rather bottled directly from the
casks. Legend has it that it rained for three weeks - it seems the
angels were crying!
Only 1,347 bottles were all that remained. Elizabeth has been
able to procure one of those bottles, and it is available to the right
person.
If you, or someone you know, might have an interest in acquiring
this bottle - either as an investor, a collector, or as a connoisseur
looking for the sheer hedonistic enjoyment of tasting this most unique
Scotch - speak with Elizabeth for full
details.
