Halloween provided a tastier Treat than ever at Carnegies this year! Chef Ian provided the fabulous food and Chris Keller made the wine! We tasted a several of these California delights. We led off with the Chardonnay and then tried the Pinot Noir. The Savignon Blanc was followed by the Syrah Noir, my particular favorite. The final taste of the night was the full bodied, delicious Tarantula.
The Reporter's writer Noelle Steele was there providing the piano music which set the mood for this great evening. She interviewed Chris and wrote an article for the paper. The only thing she left out is that these great wines can only be found in our area at the State Street Exchange!

I once had a conversation with that man of mine that went something like this:
He said, "I still own my own business and I'm still my own boss."
I said, "Those are 2 of my favorite sentences to come out of a man's mouth."
Then he said, "And, I still make a lot of money."
and, I said, "That is my 3rd favorite sentence to come out of a man's mouth.
Now that you know how shallow I truly am, let me just say......I used to believe that all the hype surrounding the newest vintage of "Beaujolais Noveau" was just like all of the 'Congressional BAIL-OUT' hype......... we just have to have it NOW!!
And, after it was all said and done, all we were left with was a good idea in theory but....a theory that just doesn't work.
Beaujolais Noveau, in my mind, was the same this as this bail out business.
However, after tasting the 2008 vintage at our weekly wine tasting at Greenfield Liquors, I have decided that theories can indeed become fact and that symbolism can turn into substance. Ladies and beer drinkers, I now give you,
Georges Duboeuf's 2008 Beaujolais Nouveau
Beaujolais is a small region in France that is approximately 34 miles long from top to bottom and 7-9 miles wide (kind of like I was when I was pregnant). There are nearly 4,000 grape growers in the region who grow one grape and one grape only.....GAMAY!
So as not to bore all 3 of you out there about how George Duboeuf brought this rather drab, lifeless, red table wine to the prominence it hails today, I'll just present to you a few "Fun Facts.
Beaujolais is fermented for just a few weeks and is fruity, light, refreshing wine that should be chilled on a warm spring day.
Beaujolais is meant to be drunk young and not with a young drunk.
Beaujolais is always released the third Thursday of November regardless of the start of the harvest.
Now,to be honest with all my 'peeps' out there, I am not a fan of Beaujolais. I was introduced to it during a two date stint with a rather exotic man who worked in a wine store.

Now,to be honest with all my 'peeps' out there, I am not a fan of Beaujolais. I was introduced to it during a two date stint with a rather exotic man who worked in a wine store.
He made me Hummus and opened a bottle of Beaujolais. I made him obsolete and kept opening wine.
And now, with the 2008 vintage, I am forced to look in the relationship rearview mirror to recall what is was, exactly, that drove me away from Beaujolais because the 2008 vintage was a delight to taste.
The palette presented, in true Gamay style, a ton of ripe fruit, almost like melted black cherry Jell-O. The wine was virtually void of any type of tannins so the wine appeared sweet, but openly fresh and enjoyable. And, enjoy it we did!
Beaujolais is meant to be enjoyed NOW. It can be trendy by day and drank by night (and equally so if the reverse were optioned). And, if you feel like you're in a real 'wine rut' with the upcoming holidays presenting themselves, give this little wine a try.
It retails for about $16.39 at State Street Exchange and we only have a few cases to share with all of Greenfield.
As a side bar, we will be tasting wine on Monday and Tuesday, (Nov. 24-25), from 5:00 - 8:00 pm to help you pair just the right wines with your relatives. We will also be serving some light cheeses and if I'm feeling gigi, maybe even a Godiva truffle or two.
Stop in to pick up all of your holiday liquor needs. I mean, after all, alcohol, no matter what the form, is like a great Terry Cloth Robe.....you can always own 3 or 4 but still feel the need for more.

Annie Dillard once wrote:
There is no shortage of good days.
It is good lives that are hard to come by.
I feel that way about wine. If you think about it, there really is no shortage of good wines. You just have to be willing to taste a lot of them. And, being the devoted 'tastee' that I am (the burdens I bear for you people), I promise to continue tasting, writing, and sharing stories with all of you at Thursday's wine tastings at Greenfield Liquors.
Now, this might seem like a daunting task for one woman to take on... by not to worry, I can control myself. So, now, with this new found sense of control, let us move onto the Earthworms.......I mean, Earthworks.
Earthworks Shiraz, 2006 was a huge success at our tasting!!!
However, the day leading up to the Earthworks Shiraz choice was a bit tedious.
Keep in mind, the Earthworks Shiraz was awarded "90 pts. by the Wine Advocate"..... but my wine employer showed her dislike for this wine with a cute, albeit, upturned nose.
Now, I trust my wine employers palette so I found myself instantly thrust onto 'Cynical Wine Island', population 2.....(me and my wine employer for those of you living in Whitestown.)
But, in true Wine Teller fashion, I decided to trust my gut, present this wine to the public, keep my fingers crossed behind my back, and hope for the best. (kind of what I'm doing with Mr. Obama)
Let's just say that after opening this wines handy-dandy "screw cap" (loving them), I immediately caught the first boat off of 'Cynical Wine Island' and sailed forward to pour the 'Earthworks Shiraz' for the huddle masses, waiting to be served.
The aroma of this Barossa Valley Shiraz created suspense at first which then began building into a terrifying frenzy before allowing the "tastee" to smell the delicious aromas of smoke and blueberries. The palette was similar but also brought with it rich bing cherries, bacon and a hint of nutmeg to finish.
This is a young, dry red wine (14.5% alc). The grapes were sourced from both young and old vines (8-50 yrs.old). 70% of the wine was fermented in the tank and 30% was aged in seasoned French oak. The culmination of the winemakers traditional processing coupled with minimal intervention brought a character to the Earthworks Shiraz that was both delicious and surprising.
This wine retails for under $15.00 and would make an interesting addition to the holiday table if you're looking for something new! (again, kind of like Mr. Obama)
Our wine tastings continue and should be quite exciting what with the upcoming holidays, et all. State Street Exchange and moi will be tasting on both the Monday and Tuesday leading up to Thanksgiving to ensure that all of your holiday guests are adequately toasted.
For those relatives who cannot control themselves, just remember, the holidays are a few short weeks and will be over before you know it. If not, also remember that Betty Ford set up a nice little center out in the desert........just in case you need a back up plan....for next year.
See you Thursday!!

I know, a scarier thought then going to a polling station in Philadelphia today. But, as a fellow American with a strong desire to see that the Constitution of this great nation be adhered to now, and forever more, I feel that it is my duty, for God and Country to tell you to....GO.....GO......GO
It is the only way (take my word for it) that you will get through this night sane...wine and a little "Shadenfrueda" are the only things that will help you fall sweetly to sleep and wake up refreshed by dawns early light no matter who the victor.
We are still going strong on Thursday nights at Greenfield Liquors, aka State Street Exchange. I admit that I have been remiss in not only my postings but also my attendance. But the wine is back flowing and we are in full swing and just in time for the upcoming holidays!!!!!
I know that only a faithful few were painfully aware or my absence but I feel I owe you precious few an explanation. The 'Readers Digest' version for my lack of attendance (and blogging) is as follows:
Every 9 months, I am forced to attend the glorious bleating of fellow football fanatics as we pile onto the back of our rent-a-cars, wear entirely too much orange and white, drink way too much wine out of styrofoam cups, and pray for a victory at dear 'ole Clemson University. That man of mine, you see, is a Clemson graduate and for the last 8 years, my home away from home from August to November, has been the lovely Ritz Carleton in Atlanta and "Howards Rock" at Memorial Stadium in lovely Clemson, SC.
And now, with a loosing season looming overhead, both at Clemson and here at home, I am forced to drown my sorrow in what else......wine.
So, join me on Thursday as we drink, discuss where to hide our money and our guns, chat about wine, and have a generally all around fabulous time.
It's great to be back!!! See you soon.

"The Alamo", according to historical recordings, was an heroic struggle against impossible odds; A place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for Freedom; where a line was drawn in the sand and Colonel Travis asked any man willing to stay and fight for the Alamo to step over that line. All but one man did and after that decision, I hope he drank himself to death.
Too bad he didn't have a choice between a bottle of the 2007 "Alamos" in hand instead of the REAL Alamo under foot.
Now, with the real Alamo in the deep recesses of your mind and your interest salivating..... travel with me, if you will, to the hills of Mendoza, Argentina, the winery of Nicolas Catena and the home of the second "Alamos". Vintage to vintage, this easy, simple, inexpensive wine, has traveled the globe, been tasted by professionals (and my loyal fans) and now finds a welcome home at Greenfield Liquors.
The 2007 "Alamos" Malbec, was awarded a 'Great Value' by Wine Spectator in the November 2008 edition. With an outstanding score of "88" and, in true Wine Spectator wine review speak, the "Alamos" was presented to the wine world with the following tasting description:
"This wine is really juicy with great beam and fig and Linzer Torte flavors followed by sweet spicy notes on the tasty open-knit finish."
Now, I don't know about you, but when I read wine reviews that say things like "Linzer Torte flavors," and "open-knit finish" the wine becomes a little to complicated for my simple palette. Which makes me both suspect, curious, and a definite resident of Hancock County. Then, much to my southern chagrin, I discover that Linzer torte is actually a fancy-schmansy way of saying 'Raspberry/ruby-red preserve flavors' and I am suddenly calmed and thirsty.
Why do I become suspect with complicated wine reviews and eased with simplicity? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Usually when things come too easy, we become suspect.
Things usually have to become complicated before we accept them.....like:
* The U.S.Tax Code,
* My new BMW (I challenge anyone to figure that electrical system out, but I still manage to ease on down the road....acceptingly)
* And, cheap, great tasting wine like the "Alamos". (This wine retails for $10.89 and we sold out of the 2007 vintage at Thursday nights tasting.)
I am proud to say that our Thursday night wine tastings are both simple and complicated. We have a complicated group of devoted 'Wine Tellar" followers, a rather complicated group of new Malbec loving devotees, and, a simple, easy, unencumbered group of beer drinking, pint purchasing patrons who make every Thursday night like a night at the Alamo!!!!

Once in a while I see a fun product come along that I just have to share. If you are a beer drinker or even just pop, the Snap cap is for you. The multi-colored hard plastic cap, snaps right on any 12 oz can and provides an instant lid. Great for the fall season when the bees are out. I like them for my kids. They are constantly opening a can of pop and leave about half...usually somewhere to spill. With the Snap Caps, they each have their own color and keep the pop fresh. Great Idea!
