Greenfield Liquors was excited to participate in the Wine to Water Benefit last weekend here in Greenfield. We sampled eight new boutique wines which we have recently added to our inventory. A special thanks to Simon from Crossroad Vintners for his time and support from their company for samples.
Over 200 people attended and the program raised near to $4000.00! This translates to fresh water for 700-1000 people in the Sierra Leone, Africa. Without your support, this
would not have been possible!
Many of those in attendance asked for info on what we presented. The wines we brought were:
Paige 23 Sauvignon Blanc
Babich Unoaked Chardonnay
Hey Mambo White
Calera Pinot Noir
Velvet Devil Merlot
Charles and Charles Red
Shannon Ridge Wrangler Red
Risata Muscato d'Asti
Please stop in to see us for these and many more. We have the greatest selection of specialty beers and wines in Greenfield!
I'm sitting fireside right now and this is the perfect beer to add to the ambiance! Part of our Holiday Beer special,
Leinenkugel's Fireside Nutbrown Ale is now on sale!
Regular price: 8.69
Special: $6.95Now through 12.31.09
Linenkugel tells us more...."While the star of this holiday seasonal is the roasted malt character, the well-balanced flavor and brilliant amber tones give Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown a comforting experience in traditional English Style nut browns.

Two below... no we're not describing the snow out east! Two Below is our newest style available from New Belgium. I just tried this new addition to our collection with a friend last night! This smooth, delight presents with a medium amber color and finishes without bitterness.
The 2009 Beer Specials here at the State Street Exchange include this delight until 12-31-09
New Belgium 2 Below Regular price: $ 8.89
Special: $ 7.11Pull on your wool socks and crack open a 2 Below Ale. This tasty winter warmer started life as a small batch beer brewed for the Al Johnson Uphill Downhill – a telemark ski race in Crested Butte, Colorado. The Uphill Downhill celebrates the exploits of Al Johnson, letter carrier extraordinaire, who delivered mail by ski in the late 1800’s. Dry hopping during fermentation creates a floral nose with a hint of pepper and spicy, subtle undertones. 2 Below provides a bright, hoppy palate and a cheery warm afterglow.

The latest addtion to our Tequila department:
Hussongs Reposada Tequila!
The first review I read about this tequila was about a new bar in St. Paul that offers over 130 tequila's. On the bartender's recommendation, they poured
Hussongs Reposada and was not disappointed! This is an ultra smooth tequila and comes in a distinctive old style bottle.
"Yellow-gold. Sweet powdered fruit nose. A round supple attack lead to a medium-to full-bodied palate with deeply roasted agave and grilled fruit and pepper notes f followed by a wave of peppery oak and spice. Big and brawny with a sophisticated edge."
-Rated 91, Tastings.com
With the success of Fat Tire Ale, we have also added two other brews from New Belgium!
Available in 22 oz bottles, we have added the
1554 Enlighten Black Ale. This is a one of a kind delight! This is a refreshing dark beer that pours almost black. It has a nose of chocolate, carmel and coffee with tastes very similar with a sweet finish. To quote a review in Beer Advocate "To me, it's as if a Impy Stout and a Belgium Trappist had a delicious 22oz baby."
The Mothership has landed at State Street Exchange.
Here is the information from New Belgium....
Our first venture into organically-produced beer, Mothership Wit Organic Wheat Beer elevates the zesty Wit or White beers of Belgium. Our far-flung Beer Rangers affectionately refer to our Fort Collins brewery as the Mothership, a name that conjures images of earth shot from space and the interconnectivity of it all. Mothership Wit is brewed with wheat and barley malt, as well as coriander and orange peel spicing resulting in a balance of citrus and sour flavors held in suspension by a bright burst of carbonation.

For a change of pace, we are tasting a delicious cold micro brew beer this weekend. Here at the State Street Exchange, we have the area's largest assortment of micro brew beers, imports and special domestics. Our collection of specialty beers tops over 150!! So, stop driving to Indianapolis and come see us!
Our choices for tonight come from the Shiner Brewery in Shiner, TX. Our two selections are their Shiner Black and the Shiner Hefeweizen. Both retail for $8.49 and are great beers! The Hefeweizen is a crisp, delicious true wheat beer. Don't be afraid of the Dark....the Black is very smooth and not overpoweringly strong. It's rich flavors are delicious!
Here is the word on both from Shiner:
Shiner Black
Bohemian Black Lager, crafted according to exacting old-world standards with imported Czech Saaz, Styrians Hops and selected roasted malts, is the darkest beer we brew. Initially added to the Shiner family as our 97 Anniversary Brew, the unique and complex flavor of this rare brew found such a following among our customers that we brought it back for good!
Beer Specs: Alcohol content- 4.9%, Bitterness-18 IBU, Color-50 SRM
Shiner Hefeweizen
Hefeweizen (Hef-ay-vite-zen) recalls the classic beers of Bavaria as a true unfiltered wheat brew. This beer captures old-world Munich Malt, wheat grist used in a scant 1% of all brews worldwide, orange and lemon zest in a frothy classic example of bottle-conditioned beer. Adding clover honey and yeast just before it's bottled touches off a unique, secondary fermentation process inside every keg and bottle before its final release from the brewery.
Beer Specs: Alcohol content-5.4%, Bitterness-17 IBU, Color-6 SRM

Greenfield Liquors, product reviews:
Ok, I must admit, I am definitely partial to the name Lucy, but we have a great new product here at the State Street Exchange,
from Prichard's Distillery!
Sweet Lucy is a bourbon based liqueur infused with apricot and orange with it's own special story. Here is the word from Prichard's....
Prichard’s Sweet Lucy Bourbon Liqueur: Sweet Lucy’s legacy has been flowing up and down the Mississippi flyway for years. This bourbon based formula is blended with apricot / orange and it has warmed the body and soul of outdoors men for years.
We’re not sure how long the name Sweet Lucy has been around but it was probably born in the duck blind. Many a duck hunter knows what a Sweet Lucy is. As the ducks fly over and one or two are knocked down, sending the retriever is sometimes followed by reaching in the pocket and withdrawing a concoction necessary to fight the chill of a cold winter morning and taking a sip. Body and soul now enjoying a warm feeling, a clap of the hands and a shout, “Sweet Lucy!!” is not an uncommon reaction.
You will notice the Ducks Unlimited logo on the bottle and will be pleased to know that Prichard's Distillery makes a donation for every bottle purchased! For more information from Ducks Unlimited,
see their website
www.ducks.org/ Make your donation! Stop in at the State Street Exchange and buy yours today. Our shelf price is $27.89
Greetings Beer lovers!! Yes, finally we here at the State Street Exchange are going to give you your due and get some beer reviews up here!!! I am starting out with a doozie!
Bell's Hopslam Ale
This is a VERY limited release from Bell's Brewery of Kalamazoo Michigan! As they describe it, it is " a biting, bitter, tongue bruiser of an Ale. With a name like Hopslam , what did you expect?"
Beer Advocate gives it an "A" saying that it is brewed with honey and is "hoppy as hell".
We have a very limited quantity and I'm not sure if we will get more, so come in today!
Winnie the Pooh once said:
"Hallo.....I've found somebody just like me.
I thought I was the only one of them."
I used to feel like Winnie the Pooh. All alone in Hancock County, surrounded by beer drinkers, low speed limits, and cornfields.
But, now, after one year of pouring wine at Greenfield Liquors, I have found that there are a few more of you "Pooh" oenophiles in Greenfield than originally predicted.
The Wine Tasting on Thursday night (from 5:00 - 8:00 pm) at Greenfield Liquors has become quite the Hot Spot destination. And, this Thursday was no exception. The bar was crowded, the conversation lively and the wine critiques.... positive.
So, in the tone of Pooh,Tigger and Eyore, let's take the lid off this honey pot and get to reviewing.
First up was a Sparkling Wine by Korbel. Now, you'll have to excuse me for my indulgence but in my current state of mind, Sparkling Wine (or Champagne) has become my mood stabilizer choice for the new year.
You just can't go wrong with Champagne and although this "Extra Dry" version by Korbel was rather lacking in taste, I could probably sublimate an emotional state with its contents.
This Sparkler had plenty of pop and fizz and a few hints of pears and apples but aside from that......its price point,(under $11.00) was this wines one saving grace. So, true to my good buddy Eyore I choose to adopt the "Okay, I'll bother" attitude and sipped it......willingly....... throughout the evening.
The Red Wine of the evening is brand new to the store....RED ROCK MERLOT.
This Merlot, from California, is actually a blend of 95% Merlot, 2.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Syrah and .5% Syrah (glad I'm not the guy who had to come up with those percentages).
This wine is full of black cherries and plums with soft, round tannins and a balanced finish that lingered on....quite surprising since it retails for...... $9.99!!!
This wine would definitely make the top "20" of my EWL, (Emotional Wine List, believe me.... there TRULY is a corresponding wine to match perfectly with a corresponding emotion.)
The last wine on the list was the Yalumba Museum Reserve Antique Tawny NV Fortified Wine. Just looking at the bottle gave me a 'rumbly in my tumbly'.
Robert Parker felt the same way and has consistently rated this fortified wine over the past few releases with points ranging from 92 to 96 points!!!
The wine is amber in color with aromas of figs, dates, and honeyed fruits. The finish is full of hazelnuts, almonds, and a hint of caramel. I feel the only way to adequately describe my passion for this DELICIOUS dessert wine is as follows:
If you live to be 100 I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live a day without you.
Don't you just love Winnie the Pooh. Don't you just love wine. I hope to see you all next Thursday. Tigger will close this blog down......
TTFN........Ta Ta For Now
Until,
The Wine Teller
