Laura Alberts Tasteful Options - Purveyor of Craft Beer, Fine Wines and Gifts http://www.lauraalberts.com Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:23:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Pinot Envy http://www.lauraalberts.com/pinot-envy/ http://www.lauraalberts.com/pinot-envy/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:23:39 +0000 Carol http://www.lauraalberts.com/?p=901 Calling all Pinot lovers. Karen attended the “Pinot Envy” tasting at the Food & Wine Festival last weekend and couldn’t pull herself away from the Falcor table. This 2006 Pinot Noir from Sonoma Valley is only produced during the very best years of harvest. The small lot handcrafted wine offers flavors of black cherry and ripe plum complemented with earth notes of mushrooms and sweet tannins. A silky, medium to full-bodied wine with immediate appeal, consider setting some aside for 4-6 years. Only 400 cases made. Call today to reserve your bottles. Only $34.

Growler Hour Wednesday (3/10)
As we do every Wednesday at 5pm, we’ll be tapping something special on the growler station!  This week we will the be tapping a keg of The Bruery “Mischief”  From the website: “This wickedly good golden ale is fiendishly dry-hopped with American hops to add a layer of complexity and mystery to its fruity, dry Belgian-style character. Citrus and resin diabolically combine with ripe melon, pear and slight peppery spice in a precariously effervescent mixture. Enjoy it, but you’ll want to keep an eye out” Come get a growler of this delicious hoppy delight!  Don’t miss out, it’s sure to go fast!

Also, we will be tapping a Mystery Keg.  The mystery beer is $1 a pint.  If you can guess the beer style or the brewery, your pint is free!

 St. Patricks Day @ Laura Alberts (3/17)
Well, laddy – Saint Patty’s Day is sure to full of lucky charms!  The growler station will be slammed with Irish taps:  Rogue Kells Irish Lager & Moylans Kilt Lifter among others!
