Left Hand truck rolling around St. Louis!
We have been transitioning into the new labels from Left Hand....See the Sawtooth label on the truck.

Here are the new labels we have in stock at The Wine and Cheese Place - Forsyth

Monty Python Ceramic Holy Grail!

In stock at Forsyth!
Monty Python's Holy Grail...$9.99 each
"The quest is over, you found the Holy Grail!!! You must now choose, but choose wisely, for as the real cup brings the real ale, the false one brings disappointment or worse!!! The wide mouth of this 12 oz ceramic cup allows for deep inhalation of the bouquet and subtle aroma of the Holy Grail. The wide shape also encourages the Holy Grail ale to fully develop its head without giving the drinker a face full of foam. The rounded shape also allows quick warming of the beer if held in the drinker's hands, or more slowly if held by the stem." -- importer

Local farms....

Just in at Forsyth....
Dry Dock Farms just delivered fresh eggs (laid August 3rd) plus local Heirloom tomatoes, local white peaches, local Glo Haven peaches and local plums!!

We are trying to support local farms and good people. When we started carrying Dry Dock Farm Fresh eggs, Dry Dock said they would supply us with heirloom tomatoes and other local goodies as they came into season! Heirloom tomatoes are a perfect fit with our bacon program and all of our varieties of fresh mozzarella.
(I have a ton of fresh basil growing in my garden at home, I will bring some in tomorrow and give away free with a purchase of our tomatoes. While supply lasts.)


Very limited amount of each....

We now have some local Heirloom tomatoes from Dry Dock Farms.
Heirloom Tomatoes....$3.99 / lb
Assorted varieties: Big Rainbow, Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Yellow Mortgage Lifter and Radiator Charlie's Mortgage lifter
Here is a picture of today's batch....




Local Plums....$2.49 / lb
Ripe and delicious now! Here is a picture from today. These plums are awesome-- light flesh!

Peaches White Flesh....$2.49 / lb
Ripe and ready! White peaches are only around for a limited time because they have a shorter growing period. They tend to be softer, more floral and sweeter than standard yellow peaches.

Peaches Glo Haven Yellow Flesh....$2.49 / lb
Glo Haven are your classic peaches. Mild and delicious. Not as ripe as the White peaches right now, but they are going to be great.


NY's oldest saloon...

McSorley's golden rule "Be Good or Be Gone".

McSorley Black Irish Black Lager....$6.99 / 6pk
McSorley Irish Pale Ale....$6.99 / 6pk


"McSorley's Old Ale House has been a gathering place, a watering hole, the subject of art and literature and even a supreme court controversy. Established in 1854 - McSorley's can boast of being New York City's oldest continuously operated saloon. Everyone from Abe Lincoln to John Lennon have passed thru Mcsorley's swinging doors. Woody Guthrie inspired the union movement from a table in the front - guitar in hand, while civil rights attorney's Faith Seidenberg and Karen DeCrow had to take their case to the Supreme Court to gain access. Women were finally allowed access to McSorley's in 1970! So belly up. Enter the sawdust strewn floors and history patched walls for a trip back through time. Share the McSorley's experience with the spirits of 150 years!" -- McSorley's
