Butcherie: Wine deals
KBlog enthusiast Shanna writes in with a tip for our local readers:
I was just at The Butcherie and saw that they had Chateau de Paraza Minervois (1997) on sale at two bottles for $10. The same wine, same vintage goes for $10.99 per bottle on kosherwine.com. This isn’t a spectacular wine, but it’s a better than decent dry red. It’s drinkable now and goes well with a wide variety of foods (basically, avoid pairing it with very heavy meat stews or light fish or cream dishes). It looks like they got an unexpected large shipment, or else like they are trying to clear out their stock to make room for other stuff (there were several cases stacked next to the wine racks).
And for us kid-stuff drinkers, they have something in the $5-range called “Royal 18″ from Bartenura… a light, refreshing white wine with the finest of screw-tops. Let’s see if it’s any different from the Moscato.
