Kosher Wines for Passover!

Kosher Wine for Passover

Please Pre-Order for best Availability! 

 

Don Guillermo de Mendoza | Chardonnay | Argentina

A pale sunshine with spring-leaf green highlights. A spring bouquet of citrus, velvety peach and pineapple laced with flowers and honey. A well-rounded, equilibrated, fruity, creamy flavor with just the right touch of acidity to give it that new morning freshness.

 

Don Guillermo de Mendoza | Malbec | Argentina

A nice, intense red wine with bright violet edges. The bouquet is variety of berries, cherries and mature figs. The palate finds mature fruits and cherries. It is a round wine with pleasant tannins. Non-Mevushal.

 

Gabriele | Sweet Red | Italy

This sweet red wine shows a deep ruby red color and has a bouquet composed of raspberry and strawberry aromas. The flavor is fresh, well-balanced and long-lasting. Best enjoyed chilled. Mevushal.

 

Hai | Cabernet Sauvignon | Israel

Dark, well extracted and concentrated, medium/full bodied. Aromas of dark forest fruit, black cherry, cassis, cigar box.  Great structure, round and velvety smooth on the palate, beautiful tannins well balanced with excellent length on the finish.

 

Terra Vega | Carmenere | Chile

Dark, dry Chilean Red Wine with hints of leather, chocolate and young fruit. The grape variety, Carmenere grows particularly well in this very hot southern, climate. A great new red to bring to Sedar!

Dogfish 120min + 75min + Aprihop!

3 Great Dogfish Beers in stock was worthy of a Full Dogfish Post!

 

Dogfish 120 Minute IPA

“Too extreme to be called beer? 120 Minute IPA is brewed to a colossal 45-degree plato, boiled for a full two hours while being continuously hopped with high-alpha American hops, then dry-hopped daily in the fermenter for a month and aged for another month on whole-leaf hops!

Clocking in at 15-20% ABV and 120 IBUs, 120 Minute is by far the biggest IPA ever brewed! It’s easy to see why we call this beer THE HOLY GRAIL for hopheads!”

Dogfish 75 Minute IPA

“Blend two Dogfish Head favorites (60 Minute + 90 Minute), add maple syrup and carbonate the mixture naturally. What do you get?

75 Minute IPA.

The carbon dioxide trapped during bottle conditioning gives 75 Minute IPA a soft and velvety mouthfeel. Dry-hopped with whole-leaf Cascades, this complex IPA has been known to inspire pilgrimages to our brewpub.”

Dogfish Aprihop

“Our fruit beer for hopheads!

Aprihop is an American IPA brewed with Pilsner and Crystal malts. It’s massively hopped — in the continuous fashion, of course! — and the flavor is complemented by the addition of apricots.

After fermentation, the beer is dry hopped with irresponsible amounts of Amarillo hops. The beer has a hoppy aroma, with the apricots playing a supporting role.

The flavor is rich with late hop flavors, and its bitterness is tempered by just the right amount of malt sweetness and fruity undertones from the apricots.”

Highland Brewing Company’s Devil’s Britches IPA!

Information Below is provided directly from Highland Brewing Company

“Lordy, that’s as red as the devil’s britches,” exclaimed a local rancher, awed by the vibrant canopy ablaze on what is known today as Devil’s Britches trail. Highland Brewing Company commemorates the history of the Great Smoky Mountains and Devil’s Britches trail with a rich, red IPA. Ashburne Mild malt produces a toasted and biscuity flavor, and Extra Special malt renders an alluring red hue. Apollo hops provide aggressive bitterness(70 IBU), while dry-hopping with Calypso hops yields complex fruity and floral aromas with hints of pear and apple. This devilishly delicious ale is Highland’s twist on the great American IPA.

We want to be the brewery of choice in the Southeast. To achieve that goal, we believe it takes more than great beer. With each new hire, it doesn’t take long to learn Oscar’s mantra: Honesty, integrity and respect. Nothing about beer, not specifically. But the larger ideals that lead to great beer – caring about how it’s made, caring for the people involved, from the grain farmer to the mom at the grocery store. Operating within these lines gives rise to a culture around a product. A culture that is sustainable for our employees, our customers and our environment. Come see us!

We say this beer is awesome! And although we may not consider this a “local craft beer”, it certainly is regional! (Asheville is only 4hrs from here and still a part of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can even take the Blue Ridge Parkway from Roanoke directly to Asheville) Devil’s Britches IPA is Big, Bright, Beautiful American-style IPA! Only a small amount made it to Roanoke, so hurry in and try some while supplies last!

Cheers,

Mr. Bill
