 | Orin Swift 2009 'D66' Grenache - $42.99 Tasting Notes: "The wine has a very dark, opaque red color with subtle aromas of toasted oak, ripe blueberry jam and dried rose petal. The entry is mouth coating and lush. Opulent plum and ultra ripe cherry are balanced with asian spices and a bright vein of minerality and acidity that give great structure, weight and balance to the long finish. The tannin chains are long and will lend to ageability for 5 to 10 years. 80% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 8% Carignan. Another must-have." Also available from Orin Swift: "Veladora" Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Napa Valley - $28.99 |

Introducing D66: ORIN SWIFT'S New Must-Have Grenache
Orin Swift has done it again, this time going beyond our borders: Introducing D66, a fantastic new red from winemaker Dave Phinney. D66 is the inaugural release from Orin Swift's new winery and vineyards in the small town of Maury, France (in Department 66) in the outer Roussillon very close to the Spanish border where owner Dave Phinney owns approximately 235 acres of mostly Grenache vines with a little Syrah and Carignan. The majority of the vines were planted more than 60 years ago. The terrain is dominated by black schist, a crystalline rock based soil that retains heat well but is poor in organic nutrients and nitrogens. In other words, these vines really have to struggle. The result is a very dark, concentrated, and rich wine.

Stone Brewing Pre-Buy
If you've been awaiting the arrival of Stone Brewing to Central Illinois, then why wait in line on the day it's released. Build the anticipation and share the excitement by participating in the Stone Pre-Buy program at Sun Singer.

Of course, as an alternative, but no where near the fun, just swing on by on April 6th and see if there's anything left after the stampede!
Stone Brewing in Central Illinois!
Over a year ago, Stone kicked off distribution in Illinois with "Stone Beer Week in Chicago". Now a year later, California's Stone Brewing Co. has signed a deal with Illinois wholesaler Marketplace Selections that, starting April 2011, will bring the craft brewery's beers to Champaign/Urbana and other parts of central Illinois. Regional brewery representative Aaron Tyrell is expected to be at various local bars and retail shops April 6-7 for official rollout events.
BeerAdvocate's "All-Time Top Brewery on Planet Earth", Stone Brewing has been available in the 8 counties in and around Chicago since April of last year. Stone Brewing invaded Chicago just before the city hosted American Craft Beer Week with "Stone Beer Week-Chicago" held April 1st - 8th, 2010 featuring a slew of events at Chicago bars worthy of Stone beers. Stone CEO Greg Koch and Brewmaster & President Steve Wagner were on hand to meet fledgling Stone fans and share some rarities from the darkest depths of their archives.
Now it is central Illinois’ time to celebrate the arrival of Stone Brewing's nine year-round beers -- Stone Pale Ale, Stone Smoked Porter, Stone IPA, Arrogant Bastard Ale, Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale, Stone Cali-Belgique IPA, Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale, Stone Ruination IPA and Stone Levitation Ale -- will be headed this way the first week of April. In the future, Central Illinois can also look out for future special releases like Double Bastard Ale and Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine, as well as Stone Imperial Russian Stout and its "Odd Beers for Odd Years" counterpart, which was brewed with a Belgian yeast strain and star anise.
With the addition of Illinois, Stone beers will be available in 35 states and 4 countries.Stone is working hard to meet the ever-increasing demand for its beers in new states and territories. Stone recently purchased a $6.2 million, 57,509 sq. ft. building to allow for further expansion of brewing and distribution operations. The building, which was officially opened on Friday, February 19th 2010, features 23,400 sq. ft. of cold storage, nearly tripling Stone's capacity to store beer.
