The Mint Julep
The Juniper tasting team is off to the Kentucky
Derby this week, where we'll be sampling as many bourbons as possible.
Also,
there is supposed to be a horse race going on sometime over the
weekend. We've had many customers request mint julep recipes for your
home viewing or Kentucky Derby parties. Frankly, a little ice or water
is all a good bourbon needs, but for the sake of tradition, here's how
to make a great mint julep:
Crush (or muddle) a few mint leaves in an 8-ounce glass to release
their oils and flavor, and fill with crushed ice. (A silver cup is the
traditional serving vessel, but who
can
afford one?) Add one tablespoon of simple syrup and one
tablespoon of water. Add two ounces of your favorite bourbon. Stir
gently until glass becomes frosty. Garnish with a few mint leaves and
enjoy.
 Cinco
De
Mayo Stock-Up Special
Jose Cuervo 1.75-liter — $31.34
This year, Cinco De Mayo falls on May 5. Hmm. Weird, just like last
year. Anyway, if, like us, you're planning on celebrating Mexican
heritage, military prowess and pride, then stock up while supplies
last on the giant 1.75-liter Jose Cuervo, regularly $39.50, on sale for
$31.34.
Also, don't forget about our great selection of beers from old Mexico!

Mom
Great ideas for Mother's Day, May 8
Mom raised you, so she might need a drink. Or, of you prefer, let her
pick out whatever she wants; just give her a gift certificate. We can
also make her a custom gift basket with all her favorite items. Or
give mom a stylish, eco-friendly Reisenthal bottle
bag, in three great styles, for only $14.95.
 Special Event -- May 15, 3-5 pm
St. Helena Olive Oil tasting and wine pairings
Back by popular demand, this fun event is a great way to learn about
olive oil, and sample the latest oils, vinegars and organic spice rubs
from the heart of the Napa Valley. Try some simple and delicious
gourmet appetizers featuring St. Helena
products paired with California wines. Leave with recipes to make
spring entertaining easy, fun and yummy. This event sells out each
year, so pre-paid reservations are required. Tickets are $25 per
person, 3-5 p.m. May 15.

 May Wine Specials
Frog's Leap Wines from Rutherford
Sauvignon Blanc on sale $15.29 (reg. $18.50)
Cabernet Sauvignon on sale $30.60 (reg. $37.50)
The sale starts May 1 on our selections from Frog's Leap, a winemaker
which uses organically grown grapes from dry-farmed vineyards.
Owner John Williams claims that growing without extensive irrigation
results in stronger, healthier vines. Frog's Leap is known for a
humorous approach to winemaking, down to their "Ribbit" corks. The
winery got its name by combining "Frog Farm" (where its first wines
were made) with "Stag's Leap" (where Williams had his first winemaking
job).
