BFM Square Root 255 Saison Anniversary Ale...$19.99 / 750ml
Rated 99/100 RateBeer
Brewed for BFM's 15th Anniversary! Belgium style saison matured in third use Abbaye de Saint Bon Chien barrels for 4 months.


Brewed for the 15th anniversary of the brewery - hence the square root of 225 - a bit like a sort of gag for our immature national market all to accept sour beers, I decided to try. Couroussé by those nasty attitudes of American brewers make 22 different seasons in the same brewery, a bit like an excuse for beers nonsensical to 23% alcohol and very far from the Belgian seasons, I embarked on the adventure .Pale malt, aromatic hops, not always the same. And hop beer once brewed to 5% volume in old barrels St Bon-Chien, full of microorganisms on balance, I'm not 276 before the overflowing barrels.

I taste just me and the idea of ​​cutting the old beer with the same but very fresh and bitter. The 225 season √ Was Born. I add "historical" season ahead for the U.S. market and I put it in my suitcase whenever I meet friends who hold bars.Amazing and rapid success, it becomes a sort of gateway into the wonderful world of beers acids, balanced, tart and bitter at once complex and easily refreshing, moving beautifully bottled with wild yeasts.

Height of destiny, I talk Yvan Brasserie de la Senne, a geek and beer historian who told me that in Belgium at the time is very often the old with the new beers, mixed history to get this weird taste acid.
Accordingly finally redefined the historical season (pronounced in pinching the nose) style, I cook up some variations. This time, allow me to use the first person singular, because when I came to work with my idea of St festival Bon-Chien, I promise you that my team took me for a fool. Once again.

Torbreck from Australia

2010 Torbreck The Steading Barossa Valley...$33.99

Medium to deep garnet in color with a touch of purple, the 2010 The Steading is a Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro (Mourvedre) blend that radiates a gorgeous nose of dried mulberries, kirsch and red currant jelly enhanced by a baking spice undercurrent. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated on the palate, it has a medium to firm level of velvety tannins and enough acid to give lift through the long finish. Drink it now to 2022+.

Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate

2012 Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz....$21.99
(15% alcohol): Glass-staining ruby. Smoke-accented blackberry and cassis aromas are complicated by notes of licorice and star anise. Lush, dense and quite primary, with very good clarity to its sappy black and blue fruit flavors. An exotic hint of candied violet brightens the impressively long, chewy and subtly tannic finish. 2012 is shaping up to be a fantastic vintage in the Barossa.

Rated 91/100 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 

Yangarra Shiraz

2011 Yangarra Shiraz McLaren Vale...$25.99

In difficult vintages the class shows through. It's only light to medium-weight but it's meticulously void of any unripe character and exchanges volume for savoury, peppery complexity. Nuts, red cherry, dried herbs, cranberry, vanilla and a general brambliness. Tannin is like two fingers pulling straight down through the wine.

Rated 92/100 James Halliday

Mitolo Jester - 94 Points

2012 Mitolo Jester Shiraz McLaren Vale....$19.99
Good depth of colour; a very complex, but inviting, bouquet flows into a rich, plush medium-bodied palate with a cornucopia of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate flavours, neatly balanced by ripe tannins. Now or much later.

Forsyth Feature: Italian Butter from PARMA!

We have some out to sample now while it lasts!  Prosciutto and Butter on a Tribeca Baguette

Forsyth Feature : PARMA BUTTER!

“Il Burro di Parma” Butter of Parma...$7.99 / 8oz package
This butter comes from the same regions, Parma and Reggio, as the famous Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.  Amazingly rich yet delicate enough to melt on the tongue, this butter is truly world class.

Recipe Adapted....
“If I’m ever stranded on a desert island with only three ingredients, I pray that they are prosciutto, butter, and baguette. Minimalist in appearance, yet concentrated in flavor, this sleek sandwich is surprisingly satisfying.”- Nancy Silverton Owner La Brea Bakery and Campanile Restaurant


Think of it as a ham-and-sort-of-cheese sandwich. Since butter takes the place of cheese, choose your butter with discretion. Imported butters or domestic farmhouse-style butters are richer and sweeter and balance the saltiness of the ham. For the ham, I prefer either an imported prosciutto di Parma, prosciutto di San Daniele, from Italy, or Serrano ham from Spain. Use a crisp, French-style baguette (not a sourdough). If the crust of the bread has lost its crispness, toast the baguette in a hot oven for a few minutes, and cool it completely before slicing and smearing it with butter.

1 - Tri-Becca Baguette baked until crust is crispy (10 minutes on 375)  ***
1 - 8oz Package Delitia Burro di Parma  ***
8oz Thinly Sliced Prosciutto di Parm or Jamon Serrano   ***

*** Available at The Wine and Cheese Place (Forsyth)

Once the baguette has cooled simply spread on the butter and place a slice of ham on top and enjoy one of life's simple pleasures.

Excellent on its own, this is a versatile, food-friendly wine.

New Ballas Cheese Feature: Old Amsterdam

New Ballas Cheese Feature

Cut fresh to order, come ask for a taste.

Old Amsterdam Cheese
The story of Old Amsterdam is a tale of passion and dedication. This characteristic cheese has its origins at the end of the nineteenth century, when a quest for the rich, authentic flavour of yore would lead to one of the best-loved cheese products ever made.
Lambert started experimenting with his own recipes. However, it proved difficult to get the taste and quality just right. Luckily the family refused to give up, and after years of perseverance and experimentation they finally discovered the unique lactic acid and special maturation process that brings the specific character of this mature cheese to life. The exact recipe is a well-guarded family secret
This special cheese was given a special name: Old Amsterdam. The word old relates to the mature flavour but also to the traditional character of the cheese, whereas the use of English is a proud declaration of the export quality of the cheese. The conspicuous black rind was chosen to emphasise the timeless character of the cheese.

2009 Two Hands Shiraz 'Coach House Block' Single Vineyard...$99.99 

Seppeltsfield Road, Greenock
Slightly more reserved and deep than the 'Barney's Block', the 2009 Two Hands Shiraz 'Coach House Block' Single Vineyard Seppeltsfield Road Greenock is a wine that slowly opens up over the evening and sports heavenly aromatics of smoked chocolate, black fruits, grilled beef, river moss, and graphite on the nose. Very layered and rich on the nose, the wine is full throttle on the palate and builds through the middle with thick fruit that's held in check by perfect balance, a seamless, light texture, and a rock star finish that goes on and on. I love the aromatic profile here, as well as the structure, and this is not only fantastic now, but should evolve beautifully as well. I don't think 15 to 20 years is out of the question and this is a special wine that lovers of Aussie Shiraz should not miss! (96 pts.)

2005 Côte Bonneville DuBrul Vineyard...$89.99

A Dry Red Table wine from Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington, USA
The 2005 Côte Bonneville has everything that the 2004 has and more. It is a more structured effort and will benefit from 6-8 years of cellaring. If you don’t know about this winery, it’s time to get it in gear. Dr. Hugh and Kathy Shiels planted the DuBrul Vineyard a number of years ago and are now making wine under the Côte Bonneville label from their estate fruit.

Rated 95+/100 Wine Advocate

Polished, focused, and juicy, with bright red fruit flavors that mingle appealingly with hints of chocolate and cherry as the finish lingers expressively on a refined frame. There's an elegance to this, and a depth that only becomes apparent with successive sips. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now to 2016. 700 cases made. - H.S.

Rated 94/100 Wine Spectator

Graceful and aromatic, this 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot is the top end wine from the estate-grown DuBrul vineyard. It has both elegance and intensity, and expresses power without falling prey to over-ripeness, excessive oak or other tricks of the trade. It captures the fruit and earth and herb of the Bordeaux grapes, tossing in hints of graphite and cedar."

Stonestreet Broken Road Chard - great price!

Lowest price in the country on Wine-Searcher!

2011 Stonestreet Chardonnay Broken Road...$29.99

(from an old Wente clone; all of these 2011s were fermented with wild yeasts): Bright yellow. Highly nuanced nose combines lemon custard, smoked meat, minerals and hazelnut complicated by a sulfidey quality. Plush but very dry, with a lightly saline quality adding interest to the perfumed pineapple and mineral flavors. Finishes stony, dry and long. This is remarkably Burgundian for a California chardonnay in its price range. A worthy successor to the outstanding 2010 bottling. -- Stephen Tanzer

Though it’s bottled at a higher proof than either Maker’s Mark® or Maker’s 46® bourbons, Maker’s Mark® Cask Strength has a lower proof than most cask strength whiskies. To us, a higher proof can overwhelm a bourbon with a heavy alcohol taste. And at Maker’s Mark, we’ve always been about creating whiskies that taste “yummy.”

BarleywineIt's like Essex in your mouth
English style barleywine aged in Angel's Envy bourbon barrels. Brewed with enough Maris Otter pale, Aromatic and caramel malts to nearly overflow our mash tun. We then balanced this beer with some English Nugget and Kent Goldings hops. The resulting ale was sweet, nutty and powerful, but we didn't stop there. The entire batch was put into used Angel's Envy barrels for nearly 3 months to gather the residual bourbon flavor and some aromatic and drying oak notes. By the way, Balling is a measurement of specific gravity.

No this is not another vintage of the Century, but on the other hand it's not priced like on either. These are wines to drink while your 2009's and 2010's sleep in your cellar. We did not go long on the 2012's but bought a couple of our favorites.

2012 Chateau La Dominique Pessac St. Emilion...$61.99
The 2012 La Dominique is a hedonistic, medium to full-bodied effort with lots of black olive, black raspberry, licorice and kirsch characteristics. It is a well-endowed, fleshy, succulently textured wine exhibiting outstanding ripeness, no dilution and sweet tannin. Consume it over the next 10-15 years.
Rated 90-93/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 

2012 Malartic Lagraviere Pessac Leognan..$59.99
This Belgian-owned estate has been making brilliant white and red Graves. Another beauty in a more difficult vintage than either 2009 or 2010, the 2012 Malartic Lagraviere is further evidence of how successful this vintage was in Pessac-Leognan. It possesses a dense purple color as well as a sumptuous perfume of creme de cassis, licorice, bay leaf, lead pencil shavings and barbecue smoke. Medium to full-bodied and richly fruity with soft tannin, surprising length and an impressive mid-palate (a rarity in 2012), it should drink well for 15 years.
Rated 91-93/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Solid, with dense layers of fig sauce, plum cake and blackberry confiture, laced with graphite and warm tar details. The long finish ripples with spice hints and black fruit, leaving a mouthwatering feel despite the heft. Best from 2017 through 2022. 8,330 cases made.

"This is the finest Brane-Cantenac I have tasted in over thirty years." - Robert Parker on the 2005 Brane Cantenac.  He did not rate the 2nd label Baron de Brane

"A ‘one in a life time’ vintage! As early as last spring, exceptional weather conditions were in place to give birth to a ‘grand’ wine. All the hopes nurtured earlier in the season gradually materialized making the 2005 vintage of an astonishing quality. 

A beautiful story to unfold…. • Deep red with violet hues • Intensely aromatic with a nose dominated by red fruit aromas, and fresh notes of menthol, flowers and liquorice • A supple ‘attack’ in the mouth and lots of freshness and concentration on the palate afterwards • A well balanced wine with a long, generous finish which will definitely age well." - winery
