Saturday, August 29, at The Tasting Bar-Teacher's Pet
Wines
"It's the most wonderful time of the year..." Well for some
of us it is and for others...not so much. But like it or not,
school is beginning again very soon. And with the new school year the
focus moves from leisure time to homework, books, grades and
scores. To help you ease into this change in focus, on Saturday
we'll be tasting what we like to call "Teacher's Pet Wines."
These are wines that get Great Scores and are Great Values.

"Pick of the
Week"
To celebrate the opening of the New York State Fair, this
week's pick is a terrific Finger Lakes Chardonnay. It's Heron Hill
Ingle Vineyard Unoaked Chardonnay. Sustainable farming was used in
growing the grapes, which were selected from the Ingle Vineyard plot
named "Carl's." There are great aromas of lemongrass and
green apple skins and the wine has terrific balance and a lovely finish.
Stop in and try some Thursday-Saturday.
Savvy Cooking
This week's Savvy Cooking recipe comes to you from our son-in-law,
Andy Hayes. In addition to being a great science teacher, he is
also a terrific cook and one of his cooking specialties is baby back
ribs. Everyone in our family loves them. You can just see the
meat coming off the bone when it's sitting on your plate. And the
flavors are amazing! Since summer, picnics and bar-b-ques are coming to
an end, we thought we'd send it off to you as an End-of-Summer-Cooking
Blast. Enjoy!

12% Tuesday
The 12% discounted selection for Tuesday, September 1, is.....EVERY
WINE IN THE SHOP. That's right, we're going to give a 12% discount
to everything because it's the first day of September and call it a Last
Blast of Summer 12% Tuesday. But you'd better get here early and
stock up because once we close our doors at 7 p.m. the 12% discount goes
away. And remember, the 12% discount does not apply to wines already on
sale and cannot be combined with any other discount. (It's still a great
deal!)
The Savvy Wine Cellar Now on Facebook
That's right you can now find us on Facebook. Check us
out and become one of our "fans."
