Friday Tasting: Bubbly for Barbecue!
Who says Champagne and sparkling wine is only for special occasions? Let the bubbly escape the holidays-only tyranny and bust open a bottle at your next barbecue! Imagine the refreshing mousse of a brut rosé cleansing your palate between ribs, a crisp froth to whet your appetite for pulled pork and grilled corn. A bit of bubbly makes a burger better! Get ready for your weekend barbecue by stopping in at the shop on Friday, August 6th from 4:30 – 6:30. Dickie Mallison from Galaxy Wines will be here to share samples of several lovely effervescent wines, including the Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV, Roederer Estate Brut Rosé NV, and Scharffenberger Cellars Brut NV. Hope to see you here!

Askinosie Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is a new favorite around here — we keep sneaking more tastes “just to make sure it’s still good.” Made from single source cacao from farmer Peter Cruz in Daveo, Philippines and hazelnuts from Lynden, Washington, it’s perfect for filling pastries or spreading on crepes, toast, bananas, your finger. The toasty warmth of the hazelnuts hits first, followed by unfurling layers of delicious chocolate earthiness with hints of forest and berry. Move over Nutella — a real chocolate hazelnut spread has come to town!
