We’ve just got in our allocation of this magical ‘now you see it on our shelves, now you don’t’ elixir. Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey is distilled at the award-winning Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky but its name comes from the famous New Orleans Cocktail. The wine store has La Muse Verte Absinthe and Provisions has the Peychaud’s bitters you need to make this recipe.

Barry’s Brooklyn-Made Tempeh!
For those of you who aren’t much inclined toward our butcher counter, we’ve got a great meatless option in our freezer section. Barry’s Tempeh is made from “a unique combination of local, organic grains and beans (from Cayuga Organics). It isn’t simply an alternative to meat—it’s better than meat.” Minimally processed with no artificial ingredients or preservatives, this stuff is as versatile as your imagination lets it be. Try Barry’s Tempeh Tamales, or pick up a block of this delicious meat substitute to eat sliced, cubed, ground, marinated, baked, broiled, fried, deep-fried… You get the idea.
Never had tempeh? A bit skeptical? You can join us at Provisions this Thursday 5/17 from 5pm – 7pm as we welcome Barry and his tasty concoctions for an in-store tasting. You’re in for an incredible flavor experience as we’ll be sample various recipes as well as the tamales. Give the grains a go and don’t miss this awesome, brand-new local product!
Rose Parade Tonight!
In honor of Mother’s Day weekend, we’re giving her a bunch of roses tonight from 6-8pm at the wine store. Join us and sample these five pink wines:
Pannonhalmi Apaptsagi Rose 2011 ($13) - From pinot noir and merlot, this hungarian rose shows notes of tangy strawberry and raspberry. A great value and a best seller every summer.
Cascina Pace Rosanebbia Rosato 2011 ($15.25) - Nebbiolo, the most prestigious grape of Italy gives this wine medium body and subtle floral notes of ripe red fruits.
Fleur Vin Gris Pinot Noir Rose ($16.50) - California brings a bright, fresh, dry rose with floral and strawberry aromas. Refreshing and mouthwatering.
Chateau de Roquefort Corail Rose 2011(18.75) - One of our all-time favorite finds, this is classic french rose from Provence. A bouquet of bright, fresh strawberry and raspberry fruits, refreshing acidity on the palate and a thirst quenching finish.
Schnaitmann Evoe Rose 2011 ($20.75) - Distinct and powerful German rose with ripe red and black berries, spice and hints of fresh herbs, can easily stand up to slightly heavier dishes like roast pork, chicken, or salmon.
