France and Spain are on the weekend's itinerary! Bring Mom by Saturday from 2-4pm for a few sips and bites upstairs here in the Wine Department. We'll be tasting a crisp, bright and surprisingly textured Chardonnay from Spanish producer Otazu. Next we'll enjoy the Sorin Rose from France...dry, bright watermelon and strawberries sound good? Next will be the Otazu Premium Cuve - a classic, rustic red blend. We finish with a lovely Mas des Mas Corbiers. (Corbiers is the largest appellation in the Languedoc region of France. Carignan is the grape of choice down there.)

Together with Connie's expert cheese pairings, this promises to be quite a civilized affair.

See you Saturday!

You read that right - we now have Salumi Mole Salami in 1 lb. chubs. In fact, we'll be featuring a new, smaller size Salumi stick every quarter this year. We decided to start with the most popular one - Mole Salami. Next time you're in, ask for a taste and grab a couple. They won't be here long - the Mole never is.

See you at the store,
Pat
