For the month of
April, Our Featured
Wines Are:
-
 2005 Rueda
Verdejo Castillo de Nava - A very nice
medium bodied wine from Rueda, Spain. This wine goes well
with most foods as it is so well
balanced.
-
2005 Five
Star Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon This great
wine from Walla Walla received 92 points from Wine
Spectator, and has heady aromatics of dark cherry and
spice highlight the nose. Bright blackberry fruit combines
with vanilla notes mid palate framed with good acidity. The
finish shows off well integrated tannins with a hint of
clove that lingers. Well worth trying!
Our Featured wines are 15% off by the bottle, and
specially priced at $5.50 per glass for the Castillo de
Nava, and $11.00 per glass for the Five Star Cab, an
excellent price. Try them - expand your palate!
 Mondays: Prime Rib
Nights - This is the night that Jon
prepares a remarkable Prime Rib and we also
offer 10% off on all wines by the bottle purchase with
the Prime
Rib.
Tuesdays: Margarita and Martini
Nights - 15% off all Margaritas and
Martinis.
 Wednesdays: Ladies Night
- 50% off all entrees for
ladies, with the following important
rules: 1) make reservations 24 hours in advance;
specify you are coming in for Ladies Night;
2) ten or fewer
(total) guests, regardless of the gender split; and
3) no other
discounts.
Thursdays:
Wine Nights - 25% off all wines by the
bottle when purchased with dinner. That is a
great savings, and I am hoping that it will encourage our
guests to try new wines that may have been a bit more
than they wanted to spend before.
Weekends
- Chef's Specials from the kitchen. Every weekend
Martie, Jon, and the kitchen staff create special items for
our dining enjoyment. I usually announce them here in
CellarNotes, and your server will also fill you
in.

Notes from Scott
 Starting
May 1st -- Join The Cellar Scotch Club
(with Charter Member - Mick
Ohman)
Here's how it works. Jared will identify and
have in stock 12 (to start with) nice Scotch's. Scotch
Club Members are those who have tired them all and received
appropriate recognition (a wall display we are creating)
and a little reward. You just let him know you want to
join the Scotch Club, and Jared will track
your membership progress for you, so every time
you taste a new / different Scotch, he records it on
the card. Then, when you have tasted them all, you are a
Member and receive a nice little gift and recognition
appropriate for the occasion. Lastly, as the
membership grows, we will add Scotch's to the list for your
enjoyment, and, you can taste the list over and over and
receive gifts for each time you complete the
list.
Starting
Tonight: "5 to 9" networking and
socializing in Casey's Bar - Monday's through Thursday's,
where Your first drink is Half-Off
!!!!
That's right - you work from 9 to 5 - now
it's time for "5 to 9". Come in to Casey's
Bar for some after-hours networking and socializing
and your first drink (cocktail, beer, glass of wine) is 50%
off. No strings attached. Whether you
stay for some Small Plates or Dinner, or just enjoy
your drink and head home, we invite you to come on
in for a while and enjoy the people, the place, and
the drinks in the coolest little bar
in town.
Summer is Coming and the Deck is
Growing
Just a quick note that the weather will get warmer -
Whooah. And I plan to expand the deck this year for more
fun outdoors and more summer concerts. I will elaborate
more in a future CellarNotes, so stay tuned.
To More
Life!!!
