Finally Some Sun

Finally what looks like a nice stretch of sun! A reminder that we'll be having a Spanish wine tasting this Sat.{June 27th] from 1-5 pm. Our Warren Store line of wines from California aren't ready yet but hopefully by mid-July we'll roll them out and have a party. I'll keep you posted. In the deli we now have the Fat Weston omelet. Fat Weston has been on the volunteer fire dept. here in Warren for 60 years. We thought it was time to honor this public servant and great guy by naming him in our deli menu of fame. Portion of profits go to a benefit of his choice which I believe will be a scholarship fund for someone attending firefighter's school. We now have Warren Store tie dye shirts for kids and adults{onesies for infants too!}.Lori says that we received funky new shirts and shorts for men from True Grit. We also have oil cloth table cloths, placemats, and aprons in fun retro prints. Come down and check out our extensive line of b-b-q and grill sauces.

Wine Tasting on Lake Champlain

Barbara and I had the pleasure of sailing around Lake Champlain on Tues and enjoying the fine wine portfolio of Vermont Wine Merchants. We couldn't have picked a better setting to sample some great summer wines which we'll be bringing in this week. From the toasy,buttery Moo Buzz chardonnay to the crisp and vibrant wines of Austrian winemaker Heide Schrock there's a style for everyone's palate.

Introducing Von Trapp cheeses!

We are very excited to be carrying Von Trapp cheeses in our deli. Jess and I spent a very informative and gracious afternoon with cheesemaker Sebastian Von Trapp and we came out blown away by his knowledge,passion, and flavor of these outstanding atrisanal cheeses. We hope to have the Von Trapp brothers down to the store this summer for a cheese tasting and hopefully get Sean to sample out his great beer as well! Join us on Sat. June 27th from 1-5 for a wine tasting of some of our new summer selections. The pitcher Inn will be hosting a Terry Theise dinner on Weds. July 1st. To me, Terry Theise epitomizes all that is good in German and Austrian wines and also French artisanal champagne{farmer fizz!]. I think he is one of the most entertaining and passionate wine guys out there. A night not to be missed! Check out the Pitcher Inn for details{496-6350].
