WINE OF THE WEEK- AGUA de PIEDRA Malbec 2010 $12.99
- This has tons of flavor with dark plum, black cherry, black licorice and hints of spicy oak. Although the wine has incredible richness, it is remarkably silky at the same time.
- The nickname of the vineyard is ‘Agua de Piedra’ because the soils are so stony (piedra means stone) that the grower wonders how the vines find the water (agua)! This struggle actually gives the wine its intense concentration.
- Serve this yummy Argentine red with grilled meats, pasta, stews, pizza, sausages, cheese and crackers and more!

Greetings, I hope this finds you well and getting ready for another dusting of snow (maybe).

FROM THE SEAFOOD MARKETS-
- PUMPKIN SWORDFISH-We received a spectacular “Pumpkin” fish from Florida today! These fish are known as pumpkins due to their bright orange flesh color. This is caused by an abundance of shellfish in their diet (shrimp, squid and other crustaceans). The beta-carotene in the shells gives the meat an orange hue, much like flamingos turning pink after eating shrimp. The crustacean rich diet gives the meat a richer more buttery flavor than “regular swordfish”.
