Stig's Selections           

Here at Red Carpet Wine and Spirits we taste new products on a daily basis. Our objective is to find interesting items that you won't find in the generic chain stores. We're always looking for "the diamond in the rough", beverages that are not just good but also good value. It's a demanding job tasting different wines, beers, and spirits everyday but it's a sacrifice we are willing to make for our loyal customers. We all have our favorites, here's a few of mine.

Stig Hedlund

 

2010 Cornerstone Cellars
Sauvignon Blanc
$22.99
Buy Now

Sauvignon Blanc originates from Bordeaux, and is now grown in many countries around the world and picks up different qualities from the different climates and soils. The 2010 Cornerstone is a vibrantly rich Sauvignon Blanc with great depth of flavor that is balanced by zesty acidity and firm minerality. Substantial, sophisticated and seductive, an elegant expression of the fruit. This wine will pair nicely with all types of shellfish, salads using vinaigrettes, and items using cream cheese, ricotta, feta, chevre, swiss and mozzarella. I think it's perfect for sipping on a warm summer afternoon out in the garden.

 

Hankey Bannister Original
Blended Scotch Whiskey
$10.99
Buy Now

Hankey Bannister was established in 1757 and is said to have been a favorite of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Made from the finest lowland grains, and highland and Speyside Malts. Light and balanced Hankey Bannister is a superlative blended whiskey, finer than the hairs on a baby pigs butt. A blend of Highland, lowland, and Speyside grain whiskies. The resulting blend is rich and aromatic. Enjoy some Hanky Bannister with a special friend and you might end up getting some Hankey Panky!

 

Abbaye Saint-Remy Trappistes Rochefort Belgian Ale 10
$7.99
Buy Now

The Trappist Monks of Abbaye de Notre -Dame de Saint-Remy have been brewing beer for over 300 years. Trappist Monks give up all possesions, pray constantly, and don't engage in casual conversation. They are allowed to make and consume beer, and since that is one of their few indulgences you can bet they make it a good beer. Trappist 10 is plum in color with a mix of reds and browns. The yeast yields flavors of dark fruits and caramel. Extremely drinkable even with its high 11.3 ABV. Trappist beers contain residual sugars and living yeast and thus improve with age. Enjoy with Lamb, Pork, Beef, dried fruits and aged cheese.
