Bodegas El Nido Clio ’20 Just Arrived!! “Lush fruit flavors of blueberry and boysenberry are added to the raspberry and black cherry evident in the nose. Graceful tannins and ample acidity provide structure to keep the wine balanced and poised. This is a big, booming wine with rich fruit flavors and aromas yet it is whole and structured perfectly. The finish sees a wave of berry compote flavors, mixed red and blue fruits, that persists on the palate.” Previous 5 vintages were all rated 92 pts or higher by Robert Parker!!! $41.99/btl

Something Fishy

Vietri sale at The Gourmet ShopPESCA from VIETRI on SALE 50% OFF We “caught” some fantastic deals from VIETRI — so now it’s time for you to enjoy the savings. Beautiful oversized serving pieces painted by hand. The entire collection is now for SALE at 50% off the normal retail price. Perhaps shop now to gift the fisherman in your life. Or a fun piece to hang in your kitchen. Vietri sale at The Gourmet ShopPesca, Italian for fishing, was inspired by an evening walk along a pier in Italy. A lifelong admirer of the sea, maestro artisan, Gianluca Fabbro, often enjoys an afternoon spent on his boat with friends sailing the Adriatic Sea.

Sardinha at The Gourmet ShopTinned Seafood Get in on the tinned seafood trend with Sardinha.
On the outside the packaging is fun and modern. Inside, they are delicious and prepared according to traditional methods. Sardines are fished in an artisanal way, selected one by one and prepared by hand. Using fresh fish that are cooked by steam according to their tradition. This is the main secret of Sardinha and what makes this brand such a success story. Color, aroma and flavor are senses that, nowadays, few food products awaken. Experience a taste of the Mediterranean lifestyle, one of the most appreciated in the world. It is synonymous with lightness and relaxation. Good weather, good food and, of course, healthy and natural products. Our TGS founder, an expert sardine taste tester, says the Sardinha boneless, skinless, with a touch of spicy pepper [pink package] are “The very best I have ever eaten.” Very high marks indeed…

Wine of the Week

Wine of the Week from The Gourmet ShopVina Alberdi Reserva ’18 “Their young and fresh red 2018 Viña Alberdi, already a Reserva (Crianza in Spain), matured in oak barrel for two years—in new barrels for the first year and in used barrels for the second year. During the élevage, they racked the wine manually from barrel to barrel four times. 2018 was a year of lower alcohol and more freshness in the wines, and they thought the wines were not designed for the long haul; so, they didn’t produce any other wine, and so the only wine from 2018 IS VIÑA ALBERDI! Which means that all the Tempranillo grapes that were destined for 890, 904 and all the other wines went to this wine. They didn’t use the Garnacha (which was sold in bulk). So, this is a super- Viña Alberdi, which shows more Crianza style in this cooler vintage but with very good depth and complexity, perhaps a more modern and fresher style. The wine has a seamless palate and a juicy texture, with more color than other vintages, more intensity, more fruit… It has grapes from very good vineyards and poor soils that were never destined for this wine. Highly recommendable and very versatile. It has potential to age.”
