WU is now a ticket outlet
for Charm City Roller
Girls! Now in our
second season of providing wines for CCRG's VIP ticket
holders! Blind Wine
Tasting: Thursday, April 1, 2010. See our "Calendar" page for
details.
Wine of The
Week, March 8 Corpus del Muni Roble 2006 $14.99/750
ml 10% off on
Tuesday! This
Tempranillo/Syrah/Garnacha blend shows off the extracted fruit common of
Tierra de Castilla. Bright cherry-berry flavors of a "New World"
style make for a more fun sipper than many Spanish Tempranillo-based
wines, but there is still a sense of place with the toasty,
leathery notes on the
finish.
—Armin Beer of the Month,
March Tuppers Hop Pocket $10.99/4
pk 10% off on
Tuesdays! Bethesda, MD's own Tuppers returns, now contract brewed by
St. George Brewing in Hampton, VA. Thankfully, you can expect more of the
same golden color, aggressive bittering hops, citrusy hop
oils and carbonated crispness. Actually, I think this is a bit
more balanced than the prior Old Dominion-brewed
recipe. —Armin
Spirit of the Month, February CapRock Organic Gin $32.99/750 ml 10%
off on Tuesdays! Peak Spirits is the spirits
arm of Jack Rabbit Hill Biodynamic Farms and Winery in Hotchkiss, CO and,
as such, sees through the distillation process of their
CapRock Organic Gin from planting of the fruit to the bottle.
This organic apple based gin is no fad product—it is one serious and
beautiful gin. Lavender and rose buds are the prevalent botanicals
here with juniper taking a (welcome, by my estimation) back seat. The
result is just plain pretty to drink on its own and a more versatile
mixer than most gins. We carry their lovely organic/gluten-free
vodka distilled from Chambourcin grapes, as
well. —Armin
