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!
Odjfell Armador Carmenere
Carmenère, once a Bordeaux grape variety, was lost after the phylloxera blight, and is now found only in Chile. This is a surprisingly rich version, with delicious plum and blackberry fruit supported by tobacco leaf, tar and dark chocolate notes, which all pump through the finish nicely. Consistantly one of our top sellers!

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.

Here are the details from Penner Ash..."
Oregon’s northern latitude brings long hours of summer sunshine and cool nights to our vineyard which helps fully ripen our grapes and retain natural acidity. Our unique growing season allows for the development of complex fruit flavors, aromatics and nuances associated with world-class wines. Red raspberry, baking spice and sweet dried fruit aromas compliment a vibrant palate of red cherry, chocolate and cinnamon. A purity of red fruit combined with a lush texture and refined tannins compliment a nuanced finish of strawberry and vanilla."
Enjoy this one of a kind Pinot for $51.99

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.
This delicious rum is new in our store! It comes in a great little suede bag that could be used later on. Reminds me of what I used to keep my marbles in!
A pampero is a vicious squall that strikes throughout the Pampas of South America. Its forceful winds bring extreme humidity, severe rains and powerful thunderstorms in its path. The pampero may be intense, yet it creates the perfect climate to produce the rum of the same name. It's this climate, the scorching heat of South America helps Pampero age faster — creating a bold and distinct rum with irrepressible flavor
Pampero Aniversario has a complex and rich taste, with notes of brown sugar and cocoa. Savor it slowly, neat or on the rocks.
According to Tastings.com This is really special! "Dark chestnut. Full bodied. Reminiscent of butterscotch, pipe tobacco, coffee, black walnut. Rich, creamy texture. So smooth and deep, one may be tempted to use a spoon. Has a buttery, thick feel with lovely, baked, layered flavors. A world class, slow sipping spirit. Just match it with a rich Churchill!" - Rated 96, Beverage Tasting Institute (www.tastings.com)

This is a great malbec and a fabulous wine for the money. It is no surprise to those who have tried this why it is our #1! Here are the wine maker's notes...

No, this has nothing to do with the Oct-Mom in California....but I can relate having four daughters of my own!
7 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 blend
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!
Even with the price of gas back into reasonable territory, I want to share Greenfield's best kept wine and liquor secret with you...it's the State Street Exchange!

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
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!
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
Call us when you are looking for something special yourself!

Greetings from the State Street Exchange!
I am excited because I just finished ordering the wines for two up coming Wine Tasting Parties! We have a very knowledgeable "wine lady", Amanda who will come to your home and help to host a fabulous wine tasting event!
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!
Dear Friends,
If you are like me, this beautiful winter weather has me thinking of good ways to warm up! How would you like to sip on a lovely wine to warm the cockles of your heart? We have a great time, every Thursday night at the State Street Exchange doing just that. Come in from 5-8pm every week and warm up with us. We offer a wide range of wines each week, usually a sweet something, a Riesling, a Muscat, or a dessert wine perhaps, then a medium bodied wine, perhaps a syrah or pinot noir and close with something hearty and warming like a Cabernet or malbec. Please come in from the snow and join us tonight!
