Barolo Dinner at Depalma's

Thursday, December 11th
7pm

Hello everyone and happy holidays! I just wanted to send out a reminder to those of you who might be interested in this very special event. In conjuction with Nancy Palmer (you may remember her...she was the wine buyer here before me) and her new company Avant Partir Wines, Five Points Bottle Shop will be sponsoring a Barolo dinner at DePalma's downtown Thursday December 11, at 7:00 O'Clock PM.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Barolo, they are considered some of Italy's best and most sought after wines. Barolos are made in the piedmont region where the vineyards are managed as maticulously as they are in the Burgundy area of France. The Barolo wines are made purely from one grape, Nebbiolo. The wines produced are inky and robust, making them the perfect pairing for roasted meat and game. DePalma's chef Homer Whitmire (winner of the Red Clay Chef Competiton in 2007) will be cooking an amazing meal to compliment the wines. I want to stress what and incredible value this dinner is for only $85 per person. Most Barolo wines retail anywhere from $60 to almost $300 per bottle. Don't miss this opportunity to taste several different vintages from several different producers in one sitting.

Zuppa
Tuscan Kale, White Bean and Garlic Crouton Soup
ʼ99 Viberti Barolo Rsv

Whiskey, Beer and Woodchips

Monday, January 5, 2009

What do whisky, beer and woodchips have in common?

Find out when Highland Brewing Company and Five Points Bottle Shop join to bring you a very exclusive cask of Black Mocha Stout.

Highland Brewing Company head brewer, John Lyda, has chosen the very special 5PBS Private Label Jack Daniels Single Barrel due to the caramel/vanilla flavor and because he liked the smooth finish. He is going to soak the Jack Daniels in French Oak chips then add the chips to the cask of Black Mocha Stout. With the chocolate/coffee malts and the French oak soaked JD this should be a very flavorful cask with a nice aroma and smooth flavor.
