Ridicudeals!March 4th, 2010New Midway AdMarch 1st, 2010Check out our new ad Directed, Filmed and Produced by filmmaker extraordinaire, David Vollrath. Some new brews to try…February 26th, 2010Dogfish Head World Wide Stout The guys at DFH have done something amazing here! On the nose there are big aromas of coffee, roasty malt, chocolate, and hint of sweetness. On the palate it has that great thick body that you expect from an imperial stout with a bit of sweetness balanced by bitterness, and you would never know it had 18% abv unless you looked on the bottle (or fell over after 2 of them). Estrella Damm Inedit This unique witbier comes from one of Spain’s biggest breweries and was created as “the perfect accompaniment to food.” Scents of orange, lemon, coriander and a little fruity yeast. Try it with crabs, seafood, spicy foods, or even soft creamy cheeses. Brancaia Toscana Tre 2007 has arrived! #10 on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2009February 26th, 2010We have some great juice on the tasting table this weekend, including one of Tuscany’s most talked about wines, Brancaia Tuscan Tre. We will have some of the 2006 (and maybe some of the heralded 2007) open for tasting (and to sell, of course). The 2007 scored 93 points by the Wine Spectator and was listed as #10 on the Top 100 wines of the year by the same publication. We were offered a shot at this phenominal wine, but A Tasting Tour of Europe feat. Brancaia Brancaia Toscana Tre 2006 Wine Spectator: 89 pts. Offers very pretty aromas of chocolate, berry and flowers. Medium bodied, with fine tannins and a clean finish. Bright and fruity. Sangiovese(90%), Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2009. Brancaia Toscana Tre 2007 Wine Spectator: 93 pts. #10 in W.S. Top 100 of 2009. There’s wonderful intesity of fruit in this wine, with crushed raspberry and blackberry and hints of coffee and fresh flowers. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, soft-textured finish that shows loads of fruit. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2010. Tickets are going fast…February 4th, 2010International Wine and Beer Festival Featuring more than 60 International wines, 20 local and international beers, gourmet light fare, silent auction, raffles, wine and beer experts on premises Tickets: Tickets may be purchased at: For more info call Repeat of a sellout, with a twist…January 29th, 2010In December we sent out an email with 3 Antinori wines; Solaia, Guado al Tasso Red and Guado al Tasso Vermentino. Because of the incredible prices we virtually sold out in 10 days. . We had purchased the entire inventory of the Solaia
 and Vermentino from our wholesaler but only 5 cases of the Guado Red. Guess what? We just purchased the balance of the Guado Red inventory (22 6-packs) at an even lower price than in December. We searched the Internet and the wine is selling for anywhere from a low of $59.99 a bottle to $115 per bottle for the 2005 vintage.
Here’s the twist. In December we sold this wine for $49.95 and $269 a 6-pack. However, while supplies last, our price is $39.95 per bottle and $229 per 6 pack. That is an incredible price for this extraordinary and legendary wine.
Here is the review from the Wine Advocate: 92 pts. The estate’s flagship wine, the 2005 Guado al Tasso, possesses gorgeous aromatics and a core of vibrant, dark fruit framed by finessed tannins. Medium to full-bodied, it shows superb balance, particularly in the use of French oak, something that I haven’t always been able to say in the past. With air, attractive notes of wild herbs, smoke, minerals and sweet toasted oak develop to complete this very pretty Guado al Tasso. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2019. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Syrah

Winter 2010 Top 12January 28th, 2010We are excited to introduce our first Top 12 of 2010! Check out these beauties at tastings this weekend and the next. Winter 2010 Top 12: Part 1 (1-6) Winter 2010 Top 12: Part 2 (7-12)
1. Domaine Du Bois St. Jean Cotes-du-Rhone 2007 Our top selling red wine over $10 from 2009 is back! We wanted to give all those new Midway fans a shot to taste one of the most unique wines from the best vintage from this special corner of the world. 2007 blessed the southern Rhone with weather that has produced rich, complex, and awesome wines. Try one of our favorites! 2. Domaine de Villargeau Coteaux du Giennois 2008 The Coteaux du Giennois is located just a few miles north of Sancerre in the Loire Valley. The wine is made of 100% Sauvignon Blanc and has many similarities to a fine Sancerre, except for the price! In fact, it is often referred to as a “baby Sancerre.” The citrus, mineral nose, and palate will stay with you for the evening. 3. Tenute deAngelis Rosso Piceno 2008 Here is a wine with great versatility and complexity at a price that is simply a bargain. It is comprised of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese. DeAngelis wines consistently get very good reviews from Gambero Rosso and on several occasions have received the “Tre Bicchieri” Award. This will be your new Red for Italian night! 4. Bon Cap The Ruins Chardonnay Viognier 2009 Another great value from the other wonder from down under: South Africa. This 60% Chardonnay, 40% Viognier blend has white peach and floral aromas and flavors with a little bit of acidity that gives the wine balance. Elegance at a value price. 5. Hacienda Araucano Carmenere 2008 That’s a spicy meat-a-ball! This South American beauty is packed with big spicy aromas of chili powder, paprika and black raspberries. On the palate the fruit and spice are huge. Impress your friends at that dinner party with this great value. 6. Wild Rock Pinot Noir 2008 The cool climate of the world’s southern-most wine region is ideal for growing Pinot Noir, when combined with great winemaking, it is capable of producing world class juice. TJ Peabody and Steve Smith MW, the minds behind New Zealand’s famous Craggy Range, are responsible for this succulent, lush, and slightly herbaceous beauty. 7. Casa de la Sal Tinto Reserva 2004 This Spanish beauty comes from Valencia. Made from the Monastrell grape, this dark red has aromas that explode out of the glass; notes of ripe berry fruit, roasted meat, and mineral flavors. It opens up beautifully, leading to a balsamic finish. Paired with roasted pork tenderloin, it would make for a scrumptious meal. 8. Ledgewood Creek Owl House Red NV Having no vintage and a secret blend (maybe Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre, Merlot, Cinsault?), make this juicy, plump, and vibrant red intriguing. We chose it for our “Top 12” because it is an oddity and is simply delicious. Flavors of dark berries, plum, and black currant are accompanied by a warm mouth-feel and a long finish. A cheeseburger or a pizza “wit da works” is the way to go here. 9. Wurtz Potate! Dry Riesling 2008 A discovery Elon made while in German, Wurtz makes some very good modern Riesling. Crisp, dry, and fruit forward, with flavors of lime, grapefruit, and slight mineral, it is perfect for sushi or just sipping. Potate means “cheers” in Latin, so drink up! 10. Cresta Azul Petillant White NV This is for those lovers of bold esoteric whites. Petillant means lightly sparkling, and that light fizz is balanced ever so elegantly with a delicate sweetness and interesting notes of lavender and sweet citrus fruit aromas and flavors. 50% Macabeo, 25% Moscatel, 15% Parellada and 10% Xarello. 11. Rust en Vrede Merlot 2008 This Merlot is a truly new experience. The elements of the soil and the lusty climate of South Africa create the delicious character of this elegant, yet bold and spicy red. 12. Ciacci Piccolomini d’Aragona 2007 From a world-class producer of Brunello comes this 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon “baby Brunello” that is packed with dark fruit, slight herb, spice, lively tannin and good acid; the definition of good Italian table wine. So food friendly you might have to replace the salt shaker with a case of this beauty. St. Stephen’s Wine Festival is BACK!January 22nd, 2010Just Announced!
