Wine of the Week

Wine of the Week from The Gourmet ShopEvodia Garnacha ’20
“The very young and juicy 2020 Evodia comes from a year with more rain than average and moderately warm temperatures that resulted in an early harvest of a generous crop that delivered wines of lower alcohol (14.5%) and more freshness. It fermented with some 20% full clusters and had a very soft vinification and extraction with no pump-overs. This is always very aromatic (it’s what the name means), and in 2020 it’s even paler and more ethereal then the 2019 that was already impressive and quite a change from previous vintages and other wines from the cooperative. Only 20% of the volume matured in oak and the wine is not oaky at all and has contained ripeness and very light extraction. This is bright and elegant, fresh and very pleasant to drink. Incredible for the price.” 91 Pts Wine Advocate 12.99/btl

new arrivals at The Gourmet ShopCocktail Cherries Award winner from this year’s Fancy Food Show!! “These cherries have all the sweetness and richness of our original Bourbon Cocktail Cherries plus a kick of spice. After some experimenting we have paired Guajillo Chiles, which have a medium heat with bright undertones of citrus and pine, with Habanero Peppers, which are pure heat with tropical hints and rounded out with the fiery smoke and citrus heat of Chile Pequin. Together these fiery and fruity peppers are the perfect compliment to our sweet, tart and oaky bourbon soaked cherries.”

Wine of the Week

Wine of the Week from The Gourmet ShopLe Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino Lume Spento ’17
“The Le Ragnaie 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Passo del Lume Spento (with 3,020 bottles made) sees its fruit sourced from one of the highest places in the appellation, or the “pass of the extinguished lantern,” as the wine’s name translates into English. It is part of a broader trend that Montalcino vintners seem to be looking for cooler, high-altitude growing sites for Sangiovese. This wine demonstrates without a doubt that elevation is key in obtaining elegance in the warm years. This Brunello is particularly bright, punchy and energetic. It is one of the stars of this report. Drink 2024-2044.”

New Arrivals

new arrivals at The Gourmet ShopSiesta Co. NEW TINNED SEAFOOD as seen in The New York Times, Food & Wine, and all the foodie blogs. Premium Tinned Seafood from Spain. Conservas are deeply ingrained in Spain’s culture. They’re ubiquitous and can be found in any bar behind the glass display case. They can be eaten in the aperitivo (pre-meal) with bread or a glass of wine. You can also eat them in salads. Tinned fish is a longstanding Spanish tradition. From the fishing techniques to the cleaning of the products before the packaging, you could say that tinned fish in Spain is almost like an art form. One reviewer said: “I felt like I was transported back to Spain. The texture was so delicate and smooth, and the flavor was exquisitely rich. Siesta’s white tuna is none other than Bonito del Norte, which is Spain’s finest tuna.” The conservas are not only packed with flavor, but nutrients like iron, protein and omega 3. An authentic Spanish gastronomic experience. Meaty and flavorful, the Siesta Co sardines are a delicacy right out of the tin. They are also perfect over a toast or alongside piquillo peppers and olives.

new arrivals at The Gourmet ShopBarista Warrior French Press Back to school essential for college students and grade school parents alike. Start your day and your school year with fresh brewed coffee. The French Press from Barista Warrior helps save money and space when compared to daily trips to a coffee shop and drip coffee machines.

Wine of the WeekWine of the Week from The Gourmet Shop

Andre Clouet Brut Rose NV
“The NV Brut Rosé No 3 Grand Cru is a pure Bouzy Pinot Noir that gets its beautiful intense onion-skin color from the addition of 8% red wine. The nose is rich and complex but at the same time pure and refined, with a nice chalky layer and vinous fruit intensity. Round and rich but fresh and vital on the pure and elegant palate, this is a full-bodied, pretty intense and persistent rosé to be served with main courses. This rosé is seriously complex and expressive, with grip, tension and a long finish. Remarkable in class and style.”
