Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter 6P |
|
Carolina Craftiness
Is it a rabbit? A duck? Such is the visual conundrum in the logo of Farmville, NC’s Duck Rabbit Craft Brewery. Their Baltic Porter is also a puzzle. It’s got the body of a Baltic Porter but it’s got the chocolate and roast notes of a stout. There’s the Baltic sourness on the finish but all this complexity before. Is it fish or fur? Dunno. It is fine, though.

Hugl Gruner Veltliner 2010 (Liter) |
|
Take Me to Your Liter
Sylvia and Martin Hugl are a young couple in Ketzelsdorf-Poysdorf in north-east Austria who have just taken over from their parents. Their fresh and vibrant Grüner Veltliner shows citrus, grapefruit, and tropical fruit aromas with a hint of freshly ground white pepper. Its nice depth and mineral backbone make this an almost universal match for all foods. Since liter bottles contain one-third more volume than standard wine bottles, the equivalent price is $5.96.

Terre d Aleramo Barbera 2010 |
|
Legend of Aleramo
In 934 AD, a Roman soldier named Aleramo was granted as much land as his horse could cover in three days. Before setting off, Aleramo quickly shoed his horse (“ferrato”) with a brick (“mun”), the only tool he could find. Three days later we had the region now called Monferrato, from whence originates this lovely Barbera. Less famous then other Piamonte wines like Barolo or Moscato d'Asti, Barbera is the perfect house wine, balancing food friendly acid with palate pleasing fruit. Shoe your horse and ride in for some today!
