Hey all,
Welcome to our brand new, weekly publication, "What's New In The Jukebox?!" As the name, er, directly states, this is where you can read about what we've just put in for your tasting pleasure. Or you can just come on down* and taste for yourself.
Anywho, here's what's new this week.
Caligiore Grazioso- For those of you that have been basking in this spring time weather, I thought I'd put in something special. Made with 100% organically grown Torrontes grapes, this wine has captured that spring-time weather, liquidized it and put it in a bottle. A very fresh wine, with peaches, pears, kiwi and lemon. A delight at $11.99
Marquee Chardonnay- From s super solid Australian producer, this unoaked Chardonnay has lively notes of citrus and tropical fruit. No vanilla oak here, so if you prefer a brighter, livelier style wine, this is the one for you.
Talamonti Tre Saggi- Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Medium bodied with dark notes of blackberry and jam. Looking at it in the glass, you'd expect it to be a big, dark, tannic wine, but taste it and you'll see. It's actually very silky and friendly. Rachel Ray just recommended this wine with a penne, ricotta and pesto dish. Sounds pretty good to me.
So you could read my reviews here (kinda boring) or you could just come to Wine Gallery Brookline and taste the wines and see how you like them yourself. See you here.
Cheers,
Louis

Fellow drinkers,
Welcome back!
Alright fine, I guess it's more of a welcome back to me because this page has been dormant for some time, but keep checking back because I am going to be constantly updating it with tasting info, special store treats and new and exciting product offerings.
This Friday and Saturday, like most people, we're going to be getting ready for Thanksgiving. Yay Thanksgiving! What is not to love about a holiday where eating and drinking like a pig is not only accepted but encouraged?! So this weekend we're going to be offering you free samples of some of our favorite Thanksgiving wines. Want to start the holiday off with a little bubbly? We'll be tasting Santome Prosecco. Want to try the old staple pairing of turkey with Riesling? We'll have two opened for you, St. Antonius Spatlese and Forster Halbtrocken. Want a light, peppery Pinot Noir? We've got Poppy. Whatever your fancy is, we've got an answer for it. And remember, we also have 48 wines open in our Jukebox, and with 10 new ones put in over the last week, there's a perfect pairing waiting to happen.
So come join us, taste, talk and learn.
See you then,
Louis

It's not copying, it's artistic expression
Hey all,
Alright, look, let's get it out there. I know there haven't been tastings the last couple of weeks. But you know what, everyone is allowed a little me time. Myself included. We still cool?
Good... We're still friends. So, just like friends, let's drink some wine this weekend! I'll be pouring wines from Trace Cellars in California. They make a Chardonnay, a Cabernet, and a Merlot, so there is something for everyone. And, better still, they're only $9.99. Yup, quality wine from our west coast friends at affordable prices. Check the sky for flying pigs.
Also look for our Grab & Go stacks. It's a great way to save 25% on one red and one white wine each month. This month It's going to be Vina Antigua Malbec/Bonarda and Ripa Marchetti Verdicchio. Better still, they are both in our tasting machinese so before you commit, come by and try a free sample.
But the good things don't stop there. We're continuing our Crash Course series with our pals at the secondglass (www.thesecondglass.com) Last time we talked about the killer wines coming out of Italy, the time before that we hipped you guys to the Rhone Valley and this week we're going to be pouring and talking about some great summer reds. Keep checking in for further details.
That's all for now, see ya!

You want a tasting, you can't handle the tasting!
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's corny. So what?
So, sorry guys, but there is not going to be a special tasting this weekend.
However, before you storm the storm, torches and pitchforks in hand, know that I have just put some new wines in the Jukebox and they are always up for tasting.
Also stop by and check out some of the new changes that we are implementing in the wine department. Check out the "Grab 'N' Go" stacks. Each month we will feature one red and one white wine. By taking an unopened 12 pack from the stacks, you will receive 25% off that case. This month we have Ripa Marchetti Verdicchio and Sur Bonarda. Just come on in, grab a case and save 25%. It's that simple. Just grab and go.
Next week we'll be back on track with tastings. I'm thinking Alsace. Thoughts?
Happy trails,
Louis

From Oregon to Georgia, wine from around the world.
Howdy,
We've been having a lot of rain lately, haven't we? Call me gloomy, but I really like it. Know where else they have a lot of rain? You got it smarty, the Pacific Northwest! That's why, on Friday, we're going to be tasting the wines of the Willamette Valley Vineyards! (Alright, you caught me, the rain theme was coincidental, but I need all the credit I can get!) Back by popular demand, Kate from Boston wine will be here pouring their Pinot Noir, the Whole Cluster Carbonic Maceration Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. Yes, the wines are awesome. Yes, they are certified Salmon Safe, Organic, and farmed sustainably. They are good people who make good wine, so try it. As always, it's free.
On Saturday, we'll be showcasing the wines of Georgia. Nope, not the state famous for it's peaches and blue eyed girls, but the former Soviet Nation. And guess what?! They have rain there too! What a theme! We'll be tasting through some freaky, fun to pronounce wines like Mukuzani, Saperavi, Kindzmaruli and Tsinindali. WHAT?! You've never had Kindzmaruli?! Well, boy, you don't know what you're missing. See you then.
Also, don't forget that this Monday we'll be hosting a crash course with the Second Glass. This week is going to be a blind sparkler tasting, full of merriment, prizes, wine and good times. For more info check out the Second Glass website at www.thesecondglass.com
See ya,

Summer Whites!
Continuing on our theme of welcoming summer (seriously, where is it?!) this week we're going to have our good friend Kate from Boston Wine pouring some of her favorite summer whites. While she won't reveal the final line-up, she's hinted that it may include some sparklers, some Italian wine (and if I have anything to do with it, she'll be pouring Lugana- look it up it's fantastic)perhaps a domestic or two, and that's all she's saying. Stop by, see what she has up her sleeve, and drink the rainy days away.
Also, for those of you that were here for our latest crash course, "They grow wine there?!" it was fun wasn't it? Yup, sure was. And even if you missed it, we're going to be doing them every other Monday from now on, so stop by for the next one on June 29, it's going to be bubbly for the holiday. Check out www.thesecondglass.com for more info.
Bottoms up,
Louis
