Huzzah! A Beaujolais Nouveau Worth Drinking!

Huzzah! A Beaujolais Nouveau Worth Drinking!

If you shop here, you know that we're big Beaujolais nerds. Bright red
fruit flavors, fine tannins, fair prices... what's not to love?
Unfortunately, the familiar boo-juice for most people isn't the Cru
wines from the best villages, or even a good producer's basic
offering. No, most stores only stock the worst of the area- a
Beaujolais Nouveau from one of the big producers. Bottled within mere
months of harvest, nouveau (or "new") wines aren't inherently bad, but
the ones on most shelves are bland bananna-cherry tasting swill, more
wine cooler than actual wine.

Fall Wine Tasting

October 11, 2012 - Posted by Steve Lofman in Western Market

Wine. We have a lot of it. And since we prefer small-production wines crafted by grape-growers rather than million-bottle production runs by huge companies, much of what we have isn’t seen very often. We also enjoy drinking wines from places that get overlooked, each of which has its own varieties, customs, and notable producers; but names like Bugey, Pineau d’Aunis, and Frappato don’t do much to let you know what the wine is really like, at least not until you’ve had a chance to familiarize yourself with them.

Fall has Arrived!

October 02, 2012 - Posted by Steve Lofman in Western Market

There’s a certain crisp feeling in the air while walking around town.  The temperatures have dropped, evening arrives a little earlier, and the smell of the furnace’s initial firing has filled the house.  After digging your sweatshirt out of the back of the closet, stop by Western Market to see all the new autumn items we have in stock to help you ring in the season with ease.
