I got word this week that an order I placed a while back for some specialties from Austria is almost here. I'm pleased that we're going to have back the Kracher wine gelees and trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) vinegar along with some new vinegars from Staud's. The TBA vinegar is made from ripe grapes that have shriveled on the vine, which in turn create a sweet, concentrated and complex flavor. Marc-Andre Choquette bought the last remaining cases a while back, so we're happy that this item is going to be back in stock.
The wine gelees will include beerenauslese, eiswein, chardonnay, gewurztraminer and red wine. They are excellent with cheese and pates. You can find Kracher's award winning wines for sale at Marquis Wine Cellars.
Lastly, from Golles we're getting an assortment of their fine vinegars including Pear, Quince, Beer, Tomato, Veltiner, and Apple. We also expect some of their quince jelly.
Expect these items on our shelves sometime in September.
