Give Us a Call
Have you tried calling us this week? We are experimenting with a new phone system because we have been receiving an OVER THE TOP number of spam calls for months now. I'm talking 20 calls before we even open the store. It is so bad that our legit customers are going to voice mail because the phone line is jammed with spam callers. We've tried every other option and now are reduced to having a message answer the phone which asks you to say who is calling before it passes the call along to us. Apparently robo calls can't answer the question. If we are on the ball and press the correct button upon receiving your call it should put your phone number in our directory so that you will avoid the mechanical greeting.
Please be patient with the process and I will continue to search for more hospitable ways to handle the phone issue.
If you are a person who sets up robo calls to businesses, please consider a new profession.
The Free Wine Tasting is Back!
After a brief respite last weekend, we are back tasting our favorite wines this Saturday from 3:00-5:00.
Join us to taste a couple of new French selections this week along with our favorite Portuguese green wine:
Chateau Pesquie, Ventoux Terrasses Rouge, 2022 - $26.89
Rhone Valley, France
60/40 Grenache/Syrah blend
JEB DUNNUCK 93 POINTS - " is based on an even split of Grenache and Syrah that was raised mostly in concrete with 30% in used barrels. It has a richer, denser style in its ripe black fruits, peppery herbs, and graphite-like aromatics and is medium to full-bodied, with a deep, layered mouthfeel and ripe tannins."
JAMES SUCKLING 93 POINTS - "A well-crafted, focused and lively Ventoux red with notes of dark cherries, currants, wild herbs and baking spices. Medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Textural and focused with a transparent character. Vivid and well composed. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold."
Domaine de Piaugier Sablet Blanc, 2024 - $28.99
Rhone Valley, Sablet Village
40%Grenache Blanc, 30%Viognier, 15%Roussanne, 15% Marsanne
A very round and inviting richness normally found in more expensive Chateauneuf-du-Pape whites. Shows good weight and concentration with a touch of delicious, toasted Brioche. Finishes with minerality, creaminess and floral notes.
Vera, Vino Verde Branco, 2025
Portugal
60% Arinto, 30% Azal, 10% Loureiro. Vines planted in 1998.
Tasting Notes: Arinto brings bright acidity and aging potential, Azal is citric and fresh and Loureiro is aromatic and delicate. Clean, lively flavors of lime, ripe pink and yellow grapefruit. Slight effervescence.
Coho is the last of the premium wild salmons to arrive in our store. Throughout August, the sockeye and king will become less and less available and then coho becomes your wild salmon through about October - sometimes November. No need to worry, though. Coho is a delicious, mild and plentiful fish (plentiful often means less expensive.) Finish up your annual salmon gorge with this fish and you will be satisfied until next Spring. |
Thank you, Paul, for this video that demonstrates just how intense the salmon are in the final swim home. This overflowing river in Washington shows fish heading back to lay their eggs and end their lives. It's amazing what they will go through to fulfill their destiny.
GAG GROUPER! This is your weekend treat! Mild, sweet, clean, buttery. Similar in taste and texture to black grouper.
I had to jump through some hoops to get it so call if you want it. This one will go fast! . |
Redfish Perfect for grilling! |
Super fast cooking. Great for salads and popcorn shrimp. |
