September 21st Weekly Selections

Wine of the Week
Désirée Chocolate Dessert Wine
The blend of wine that combined the most intense and most chocolate characteristics is chosen and mixed with special liquid chocolate syrup (that is put together in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) that will coalesce with the blended wine to enhance the flavors of chocolate, coconut and vanilla in the wine that is already geared for being a great chocolate experience. The fortified wines that make up this blend are Zinfandel, Touriga Nacional and Syrah. Lynn and I tried this wine and we thought it had a wonderful Syrah nose and a thick milk chocolate feel and a lingering dark cherry finish. Very smooth. We give it two thumbs up! Would be perfect for Valentines day or Christmas.

Beer of the Week
Harvest Moon
This beer is brewer from early September through late November. The color is a copper-orange. It is made with the flavors of the vine-ripened pumpkin. Has a full-body and a smooth finish. It goes great with turkey, sweet potatoes and beef.

Spirit of the Week
Red Stag Whiskey
Red Stag by Jim Beam™ is a new innovation from Jim Beam. Through a unique, artisanal infusion process, natural black cherry flavors are slowly and carefully infused into fine, four-year-old Jim Beam Bourbon. The tasting notes are distinctively fruity, without disguising the familiar, rich nose of Jim Beam Bourbon. The corn sweetness and mellow oak taste of Red Stag is accented by a hint of black cherry for smoothness and balance.
