Glen Moray Single Malt Scotch


Glen Moray Classic Single Malt Whisky...$21.99
Tasting Notes: 'Shortbread, butterscotch and lemongrass'
Colour: Light gold.
Nose: At full strength, the aroma is fragrant and lightly drying with warming malty notes. The first impression is of butterscotch and shortbread with fresh herbal/grassy notes. Lemon curd and meringue are discovered in the background.
Taste:  The mouthfeel is lightly spiced with a warming and gently mouth watering effect. Malty toffee sweetness is present throughout with blackcurrants and a fragrant citrus lemongrass tang.
Finish: Shortbread, fresh herbal notes (lemongrass) and the sweet spiciness of ginger marmalade.


Glen Moray 12 years old Single Malt Whisky....$29.99
Tasting Notes: 'Highland toffee, brambles and ginger marmalade'
Colour: Mid-golden
Nose: At full strength, the aroma is sweet, fruity and floral, exceptionally well-rounded and balanced in flavour, characteristic of this classic Speyside single malt. The first impression is of Highland toffee and candy floss with honeycomb and sweet malt notes. Herbal top notes are discovered with heather and brambles.
Taste: As befits a classic Speyside malt, the taste is smooth, warming and rounded with a good firm body. Lots of sweet, soft malty flavours evolve in the centre of the palate, surrounded by toffee and mouth watering fruits (blackcurrants and dried apricots). Boiling sweets reach the roof of the mouth before the emergence of liquorice, tea and nut oil.
Finish:  Toffee, blackcurrants and a hint of liquorice remains into the finish which is medium in length.



Glen Moray 16 years old Single Malt Whisky...$46.99
Tasting Notes: 'Dried fruit, chocolate and barley sugar'
Colour: Deep gold
Nose:  A rich and mature nose with a robust character. It is reminiscent of dried fruit, perhaps figs and raisins, mixed with chocolate and spices (cloves and boiling sweets). There is a hint of leather and linseed oil giving an overall impression of warmth and depth of character.
Taste:  Sweet, full and exceptionally well-rounded, the taste is smooth with a good firm body, meeting the expectations set from the rich, mature nose. The texture is gently oily and mouth-coating with chewy oak tannins. The flavour is initially of toffee, progressing to mint humbugs and barley sugar and followed by a hint of smoke and peat flavours.
Finish:  Medium to long finish with a flavour and texture reminiscent of barley sugar and humbugs.

Recipe of the Week!



Spanish Tortilla with Chorizo, Peppadews, and Goat Cheese
(Recipe adapted from Cook’s Illustrated)
The following makes a fantastic appetizer for a large group or a light make ahead dinner, as traditionally Spanish Tortilla is a dish served at room temperature.
Ingredients: 
  • 6 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil  ***
  • 1 ½ lb Yukon Gold Potatoes (3 or 4, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/8 inch thick pieces)
  • 1 Small Onion, halved and sliced thin
  • 8 Large Eggs  ***
  • 4oz Spanish Chorizo (spicy or mild your choice, Spanish style Chorizo is cured so you are not actually cooking the meat but rather using it to season the oil and dish)  ***
  • ½ Cup Jarred Peppadews, rinsed dried and chopped  ***
  • 4oz Fresh Chevre  ***
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
*** Available at The Wine and Cheese Place


  • -Toss Potatoes and Onion in 4 tablespoons of Oil and a few liberal grindings of black pepper until all slices are coated in oil.
  • -Heat Chorizo and 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil in a 10 or 12 inch non-stick skillet at medium high heat  (I would caution against using a cast iron skillet as you will later need to invert the pan in order to flip the Tortilla and cast iron can be quite heavy for this procedure) until the Chorizo begins to brown and the fat begins to render, about 5 minutes.
  • -Once the fat from the Chorizo has rendered add the potato and onion mixture toss a couple of times to coat and reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until mixture is tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  • -While the onions and potatoes are cooking in a large bowl (large enough to add the potato and onion mixture) beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, add peppadews and crumble goat cheese into the eggs.
  • -Once the potatoes and onions are tender remove from heat and fold into the egg mixture.
  • -Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil back into the pan, return to high heat. Once hot but not quite smoking add in the egg, potato and onion mix, shaking pan constantly for mixture to settle.
  • -Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown, shaking the pan every thirty seconds.
  • -After 2 minutes loosen Tortilla with a rubber spatula and invert onto a plate large enough to cover the entire pan. Then slide the Tortilla back into the pan to brown other side, again cook for about 2 minutes shaking every thirty seconds to brown second side.
  • -Once browned on both side slide Tortilla out onto a cutting board and let cool at least 15 minutes, again this can be served at room temperature.
  • -When cooled slice into wedges and serve along side a small salad for a light dinner, or cut into smaller squares to serve as a one bite appetizer option for a larger gathering.

*Bonus application: I found this dish makes an awesome breakfast as well, I simply put one slice of cheese on top of a Tortilla wedge ( I like a Young Manchego for this), microwave for 40 seconds, until cheese is melted a bit, top with your favorite hot sauce (Busha Browne’s Pukka Sauce is mine)

Budweiser Black Crown

Now available at The Wine and Cheese Place on Forsyth

NEW BUDWEISER!

Budweiser Black Crown....$5.99 / 6pk



Beer Was Crowd Favorite During Nationwide ‘Project 12’ Competition
ST. LOUIS (Jan. 8, 2013) – It started with a bold experiment. A year ago, Budweiser asked its 12 brewmasters to envision their own unique version of one of the world’s most iconic beers. After 12 recipes, six beers brewed for national sampling, and 25,000 opinions, the experiment has resulted in a new golden amber lager based on the voice of the people: Budweiser Black Crown.

With a blend of two-row caramel malt and four types of domestic hops, Budweiser Black Crown is finished on a bed of Beechwood chips for a smooth, balanced taste. Incorporating the proprietary yeast directly descended from the original Budweiser yeast strain used by Adolphus Busch in 1876, Budweiser Black Crown retains the key characteristics of Budweiser with its clean taste and high drinkability. Featuring more body, color and hop character than the flagship lager, it also has a slightly higher alcohol content at 6% ABV.

The Budweiser Black Crown recipe was the creation of Los Angeles brewmaster Bryan Sullivan and was the crowd favorite among the more than 25,000 adult drinkers from coast to coast who participated in the brand’s Project 12 sampling initiative.

“It didn’t matter where in the United States we asked, this is the beer that consistently drew the best feedback, and overwhelmingly so,” said Rob McCarthy, vice president of Budweiser.

During the process that led to Budweiser Black Crown, Sullivan and his fellow Budweiser brewmasters personally sampled the beer with consumers to get their direct feedback. Sullivan collaborated with Fairfield, Calif., brewmaster Scott Ungermann and Houston brewmaster Dave Cohen to perfect the recipe.

“People respond really well to Budweiser Black Crown, which has a little more body and color and a touch more hop character than our flagship Budweiser lager,” said Sullivan, who heard from beer drinkers during a sampling program at the Budweiser Made in America music festival over Labor Day weekend in Philadelphia. “As brewmasters we spend most of our time in the brewhouse. Project 12 gave us a chance to hear firsthand from the people we brew our beers for. Budweiser Black Crown is a great beer and it is a thrill for our whole brewing team to see it launch with a Super Bowl spot.”

Back Label: With roots in Michigan and in the heart of hard-working American towns, this bottle represents community: the things that keep us connected to our values. Share this along your own journey.
Distiller Comments: Named for the local road the Red Arrow is a great American Highway. Distilled from 100% organic wheat our Vodka is clean, crisp, and smooth.
Product Information: At 90 proof our Red Arrow Vodka is great as a mixer and smooth enough to drink neat.

Journeyman Bilberry Black Heart Gin...$26.99
Back Label: According to Thomas Hardy’s novel, The Return of the Native, the bilberries were called, “black-hearts.” Everyone has a bit of a dark heart, but there’s always a sweet return at the smell and taste of familiar things.
Distiller Comments: Indigenous to Britain and northern Europe, the Bilberry highlights our juniper and eight other botanical’s found in our gin. A cousin to the huckleberry and blueberry the bilberry is smaller and of fuller taste and is extremely hard to grow, thus seldom cultivated. The fruit is mostly collected from wild plants growing on public lands. It is an everyman’s right to collect bilberries irrespective of land ownership. The bilberry is dark in color and usually appears black, thus the berry was commonly refereed to as a black heart in 19th century south-western England. I hope that this truly unique berry and its flavors of tart fig, pepper, and black licorice rest well on your pallet.
Product Information: At 90 proof our gin botanical’s are macerated in a 100% Organic wheat base spirit and then distilled. The definition of small batch each gin run produces less then 10 gallons of distillate. Our gin is clean, bright, and fruity with subtle hints of black licorice.

The 8th Trappist Ale!

Very exciting release scheduled for Friday, January 11

The Wine and Cheese Place is excited to stock the eighth Trappist Ale -- Stift Engelszell

With all the hype for Westvleteren coming to the U.S. (but not Missouri), this one kind of fell under the radar.   Well the first batch is finally hitting the United States and The Wine and Cheese Place.    Stift Engelszell is even more rare than Westvleteren because their production is less than half of Westvleteren.    Stift Engelszell only has a capacity of 53,000 gallons and Westvleteren produces 125,000 gallons.


Up until recently, there were only 7 breweries allowed to carry the Trappist logo...well there is now a number EIGHT!




These criteria must be followed:
**The beer must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist abbey, by or under control of Trappist monks.
**The brewery, the choices of brewing, and the commercial orientations must obviously depend on the monastic community.
**The economic purpose of the brewery must be directed toward assistance and not toward financial profit.
This association has a legal standing, and its logo gives to the consumer some information and guarantees about the produce.
(criteria from Wikipedia.com)

Here are the EIGHT
Bières de Chimay
Brasserie d'Orval
Brasserie de Rochefort
Brouwerij Westmalle
Brouwerij de Achelse Kluis
Brouwerij de Koningshoeven La Trappe
Brouwerij Westvleteren 
Stift Engelszell - the latest Authentic Trappist #8
From The Wall Street Journal (click here to read the full article)
"Despite the global interest in Trappist brews, even dedicated beer hunters might have trouble finding the beers, which are sold under the monastery's German name, Stift Engelszell. With a scheduled annual production of just 2,000 hectoliters, Engelszell is by far the smallest Trappist brewery, producing less than half of the volume of the next largest, Achel. By contrast, the three largest Trappist brands—Chimay, Westmalle and La Trappe—each turn out more than 120,000 hectoliters annually." -- The Wall Street Journal

Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year old...$56.99
More info about the new Balvenie 14 year old Carribean Cask
"The Balvenie, the world’s most handcrafted Single Malt Scotch Whisky, today announced the newest addition to its collection of award- winning Single Malts – the Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask. Available nationwide starting in September, this rich and intense new expression will line up alongside the already established range of Balvenie single malts – 12 Year Old Doublewood, 15 Year Old Single Barrel and recent IWSC Trophy Winner 21 Year Old Portwood – as a permanent fixture in the Balvenie range.
This exciting new expression follows the acclaim of 2008’s limited edition Balvenie 17 Year Old Rum Cask, and the subsequent popularity of rum cask-finished whiskies, with a whisky that bears all the hallmarks of the Balvenie, but with an added level of complexity that comes from finishing the whisky in casks that once held Caribbean rum. After a 14 year maturation period in traditional oak whisky casks, the Balvenie is then transferred to the rum casks, leading to an exceptional Single Malt that exemplifies the signature smooth, honeyed character of the Balvenie, while adding unique notes of toffee and fruit that come from its innovative cask finish.
The outstanding quality of The Balvenie is a result of the unique craftsmanship retained by The Balvenie Distillery. Nowhere else is there a distillery that still grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional floor malting, employs a team of coopers to tend its casks, a coppersmith to maintain its stills and has in its service David Stewart, the most experienced Malt Master in Scotland, whose innovative approach to cask finishing has set a new standard in Single Malts.
Said Stewart of this new release, “We’ve found that many years maturation in traditional oak whisky casks followed by a few months of rum cask maturation complements The Balvenie single malt very well, and this expression is a beautifully rounded 14-year-old whisky that combines traditional Balvenie vanilla notes with rich toffee, a hint of fruit and a warm, lingering finish.” -

Odell Red has arrived


Odells Red Ale Seasonal is here....



Odells Red Ale...$9.99 / 6pk
"Is it just us, or are there, like, a bunch of freakin’ amazing red ales out there lately? Odell’s seriously solid version, available in six-packs through May, is the result of the blood, sweat, and tears (hopefully those didn’t end up in the bottle) of the entire Odell team. You see, when the brewery set out to make a red ale, they didn’t make just one: The brewers crafted several versions on a five-barrel Pilot system, then the entire staff painstakingly selected a favorite. We’re not sure how tough the choice was, but for us, the winning American-style red, is a no-brainer next time we’re bottle shopping.
A bountiful khaki head seems to want to keep its deep aroma all to itself, so breathe deeply: That beautifully sticky, hoppy scent seems to reveal a bit of blood orange. Thankfully, the taste is all the aroma makes you hope for — decidedly bitter, but well-balanced by a bit of sweetness (but make no mistake: this beer’s full of robust hops). The mouthfeel is dreamy; a medium-full body with super-creamy carbonation expertly carries the flavor. So, we’re making the choice for you: Add this copper creation to the top of your must-drink list." -- Draft Magazine
