New Wine Additions

I have added two new wines to the list today, the first is 2005 Bonterra Merlot from Mendocino County, what makes it special is that it is certified organic, the first such wine we have sold at Evenfall. So much of the food we make is organic that having an orgainic wine to offer makes me happy.

I have wanted to add one for some time but the fact is that most organic wines pretty much stink. This one does not, aged in French Oak, you'll find aromas of blackberry pie followed quickly by pleasant toasty aromas of coffee and a slight nuttiness.

The Second new wine is an interesting story as well, it is 'Cameron Hughes Lot 60, Cabernet Sauvignon from Stag's Leap district of Napa.

Hughes buys wine from prestigious wineries that they can't use for various reasons and relabels it and sells it for much less. I bought a few cases of his best offering to date, from the bounty full 2005 harvest of Cabernet in Napa, and from perhaps one of the top few districts... Stag's Leap. 2005 featured weather perfect for growing and Hughes swooped in to gratefully accept the excess... lucky for us.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives

They have become Incredibly popular...
Blue cheese stuffed olives.
We stuff them ourselves because if we bought them;
they just wouldn't be stuffed with Great Hill Blue Cheese...
and that would mean they might not taste as good in your martini.
And that is not our style.

Single Barrel Bourbons

Evenfall now offers a fine selection of Single Barrel Bourbons, if you have a taste for whiskey or bourbon you may revel in these new choices. As always we try to bring to your neighborhood the chance to taste something new. Each bottle is from a single barrel giving it a level of uniqueness unfound in the myriad of blended whiskeys. Try some.

Now serving:
Weller Special Reserve
Eagle Rare
Blanton's Single (our bottle is from barrel #212)
Buffalo Trace

Bourbon, an American original, has often been thought of as the ugly stepsister to the 'finer' imported Whiskeys from around the world. The lack of production during prohibition left the American whiskey distillers far behind their foreign competitors who had years of aging barrels to incorporate into their yearly production, a blend that produced a consistent and refined product. The American distillers had no such previous years' barrels to go to and their product paled in comparison when the public compared them, thus an image of lower quality was born, an image which was then fed into by the American distillers willingness to sell cheaper less refined products. More and more that image is fading as American consumers wet their taste buds with the Bourbon Industry's unique product: Single Barrel Bourbon
