Seven Daughters Delights

Thursday, March 5, 2009 by Lizan Brand
No, this has nothing to do with the Oct-Mom in California....but I can relate having four daughters of my own! 

7 Daughters White Wine7 Daughters Wines are a new addition to State Street Exchange.  I opened these delights last week at our weekly tasting on Thursday evenings from 5-8pm.

7 Daughters represents the seven different grapes blended to make two unique wines, a white and a red.

The 7 Daughters White boasts French Colombard, Chardonnay, Riesling, Symphony,  Orange Muscat, Gewurztraminer and Sauvigon Blanc.  The nose on this wine is a bit of citrus, melon and apricot.  The citrus continues on the palate with a pleasant, very lightly sweet quality and a hint of spice.  I really enjoyed the blend of grapes and can definitely see this nicely chilled on a spring/summer evening!  With a price tag of $13.69 is an affordable treat!

      7 Daughters Red Wine blend is another unique blend7 Daughters Red Wine
of seven grapes:  Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah, Carignare and Sangiovese.  
      The nose here is blackberry with hints of lavender and vanilla.  The taste is interesting with red fruit...from blackberries to cherries.  The syrah comes through with a closing note of spice on the finish.
      The feel of the blend is light  and very drinkable.  I enjoyed this with salmon after the tasting!

Sweet Lucy and Ducks Unlimited!

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by Lizan Brand
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
 
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


We have one box of wine for you!

Friday, February 6, 2009 by Lizan Brand
      Yes, we specialize is unique, high quality, reasonably priced wines.  We have all the staples as well, but until now, refused to handle any box wines.  Cuvee de Pena has broken all the rules as it now offers it's fabulous red wine in a sharp looking 3L box.

     Hand Picked Wines says it is "not only friendly, maybe the world's most versatile wine.  Just try to find a food it doesn't work with!  In warm weather, stick it in the fridge for a half an hour-it won't lose its aromas or flavors.

   Robert Parker says it is the world's friendliest red wine!   The Wine spectator says its ripe, dark fruit dominates the medium, to full bodied red with lovely chocolate pudding notes and smokey accents on the finish.
  
    We offer the traditional 750 ml bottle as well.  Just stop in the State Street Exchange and grab a box for yourself.  You will not be disappointed!

What do you want us to order?

Friday, February 6, 2009 by Lizan Brand
      One of our favorite customers, Jim, is in the State Street Exchange often to enjoy our wine tastings and was looking for a specific type of whiskey.  He had been hoping for the Parker's Heritage from Heaven Hill Distillery.  The point is, it is not very common and we were happy to make it available to you as well.  According to Jim, this delightful whiskey, named after the master distiller at Heaven Hill, Parker Beam, is heads and shoulders above any other whiskey on the shelf.  With hints of vanilla, oak and a bit of carmel, it is incredibly smooth.  Come in and try this one for yourself!  $72.99

  She is very flexible and YOU decide what types of wines you would like to present.  It could be a wine 101...to sample and learn about wine styles in general.  It could be a red wine lovers evening.  Let your imagination be your guide!

     This weekend's party will present 5 wines:  Enotria Moscato, The Furst Pinot Gris, Castle Rock Syrah, Cuvee de Pena and the Yulumba Antique Tawny Port.

   We provide the sommeier, 3 wines and all the glassware for the tasting for a flat fee of $50.  If you would like to add more wines, that is fine, and we will give you a discount on those.  All party goers are also offered a special discount on the wines tasted that evening.

    So, grab your calendar, pick a date and call us at the State Street Exchange to get things started!

Kilo Kai Rum

Tuesday, December 16, 2008 by Lizan Brand
 This was the hit of the trade show this year and one of my new favorites.  If you like the Captain...you will have to try this hand crafted gem.  This spiced rum comes in a cool looking dark bottle with a bit a pirate feel to it. The rum is spiced with delicious, rich and intense flavors.  You MUST try this one.  If you were at the store on Saturday night and were lucky enough to do so, you will know what I mean.  We sold out of all the Kilo Kai we had on hand.
   Don't worry!  We got more in stock.  Makes a great gift.  Be the first to pass it along!
