WEEKEND SPECIALS!!!

Right before we left on holiday, we were rockin a “CV BBQ PLATTER” as a “WEEKEND SPECIAL” and the orders were overwhelming as we “sold out” all four nights.  Honestly, there is no better summertime cuisine than good old BBQ and Chef Tim Dube and Pitmaster Smith have collaborated on one stunning PLATTER that you must try!  Oh, and there is plenty to SERVE TWO!

The star of our CV BBQ PLATTER is a hearty TWENTY-FIVE OUNCE COTE DE BOUEF prepared perfectly over our wood fire pit here at Carpe Vino.  Keeping with the “wood grilled” theme, Chef Dube included an assortment of sides; summer squash, roasted yukon gold potatoes, gaucho chimichurri, blistered tomato & summer herb butter.  Bu…bu…bu…but wait it gets better!  Need a little dessert?  Something to finish the meal but not overbearing?  How about Chef Dube’s STRAWBERRIES ROMANOFF?!?  Just scroll down and checkout the pic and then CLICK ORDER TO-GO FOOD NOW!

WE’RE NOT DONE!  With the summertime harvest coming into full bloom we are going to be showcasing some of the best of our bounty by offering a second weekend special…the “CV SEASONAL HARVEST PRIX FIXE DINNER.”  Chef Tim Dube has created a spectacular four-course meal including an appetizer, soup, entrée (choose Salmon or Wagyu Sirloin) and dessert (serves one)for only $55 out the door!  Here is what is on the menu today…

In Case You Missed It…

We wish we could just hit DELETE to the start of 2020 and rewrite the first 6 months of the year, but that just isn’t possible.  Best we can do is look at JULY 4th as a “reset” date and start moving forward, understanding that the “new norm” is reality and here to stay (for a while at least).  We’ve tried looking through the crystal ball, even given the ole “Magic 8-Ball” a couple shakes, but the answer keeps coming back “cannot predict now” or “concentrate and ask again.”  That’s exactly what we’re going to do, not try and predict and concentrate on the formula that has been working thus far…”to-go” dining service. 

Evaluating our past four months, we are now going to be open for “To-Go” dining service (curbside or Higgins drop-off) Wednesday-Saturday (until further notice).  Today, Chef Time Dube is releasing a NEW MENU, featuring seasonal ingredients that will continually evolve each week.  New items include:

GRILLED STONE FRUIT & HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD
Chevre Tomme, Kalamata Olive, Pickled Onion, Tomato Leaf Coulis

SWEET STREET CORN AGNOLOTTI (AVAILABLE AS HALF OR FULL ORDER)
Cotija Cheese, Tajin, Cilantro

CHILLED CORN SOUP (AVAILABLE IN PINT OR QUART)
Extra Virgin Basil Oil, Cherry Tomato

SHRIMP COBB SALAD
Southern Pickled Shrimp, Sieved Egg, Tasso Ham, Corn, Cherry Tomato, Cucumber

PAN ROASTED SKUNA BAY SALMON
Parisian Gnocchi, Black Garlic, Warm Sherry Vinaigrette, Cherry Tomato, Arugula

MISHIMA WAGYU SIRLOIN
Huitlacoche, Maitake Mushroom, Tomalito, Cherry Tomato

STRAWBERRIES ROMANOFF
Shortbread, Whipped Crème Fraiche, Grand Marnier

Don’t worry, some of our standard classics, like Pitmaster Spencer Smith’s “Smoked St. Louis Spare Ribs,” will still be there!  Next week, Chef Dube will be bringing one of our most popular weekend specials onto the menu nightly!  Sorry, can’t tell you just yet!  OH, and speaking of weekend specials, we will now be offering TWO platter style meals every Friday & Saturday.  The “CARPE VINO BBQ PLATTER” will focus on all things smoked and/or grilled.  ~~~Can’t lie, pretty excited about what Chef Dube and Pitmaster Smith have concocted for this weekend.~~~  The second platter (yet to be named) will essentially be a prix-fixe meal with two different proteins to choose between.  This is an absolute fantastic opportunity to get the best of CV all in one shot!  

As we continue on this path, we are constantly developing more ideas/plans as to how to restructure Carpe Vino into a viable/profitable restaurant and bar while adhering to all restrictions and protocols presented by our state and federal officials.  We want to make sure that when “dine-in” service resumes, you have an experience satisfying enough to join us again and again!  We firmly believe that we will get there!

Thank you as always for your continued patronage and support!

Guess it’s a consistent wine?

LISTEN…there is no need to beat around the bush here!  This is a damn good FRENCH CHARDONNAY for under $13/bottle.  We originally ordered this wine back in April, but due to COVID-19, it was stuck on the docks (temperature controlled) patiently waiting its turn to be checked in by customs.  In all honesty, things just got so hectic, we forgot to check back in on it’s progress and YESTERDAY our wonderful broker gave us a call saying, “HEY…you still want that Novellum?  If not, I have plenty of buyers who do!”  We quickly responded with SEND IT!

About three hours ago, it arrived to CVW&S via another custom refrigerated truck and loaded directly into the shop.  Normally, we would wait to send out an email, but we just have too many good wines/spirits coming in this week, so we figured let’s sell these TEN CASES NOW!  Seriously, a 91 Point RATING and SIX BOTTLES ONLY COSTS  $77.70 (plus tax)…you’d be crazy not to jump on this one!  Truly our “BEST-SELLING” French Chard ever and yes, the price helps, but again the wine is consistently awesome vintage-to-vintage, so double-down on your six-pack and grab a case!  (We weren’t kidding about the tariffs either…expect the next container that hits US soil to definitely go up in price!)

THE REVIEW:

JEB DUNNUCK, 91 Points –  “Made from all Chardonnay aged on Viognier lees, the 2018 Chardonnay Novellum reveals a medium gold color as well a rich, textured style. Honeysuckle, white peach, brioche, and spice notes all flow to a rounded, textured, layered beauty that’s well worth the going rate. Brought up mostly in stainless steel, with 15% in new French oak, this wine always seems to deliver the goods, and the 2018 is no exception.”

THE BLANTON’S OF CANADIAN WHISKY……No Seriously!

“Whisky Advocate” – 93 POINTS

buycaribou

Listen, don’t stick your nose up just because this isn’t Blanton’s!  Whatcha need to do, is listen to this quick story and then buy a bottle (or two) and stick your nose in a glass of this beautiful brown libation so you can see how delicious it really tastes!  Oh, and the whole Blanton’s relationship…it’s real!

Last fall we were about seven months into our new bottle shop being open and navigating what people were looking to buy, well, was interesting.  Our goal has always been to seek out high quality wines & spirits, that you might not necessarily find in the grocery store liquor isle or at your corner bodega.  Fact is, just like wine, it’s nearly impossible to not have some overlap but we have done pretty good thus far as to keep that overlap to a minimum.  One whisky we found last August “CARIBOU CROSSING,” was the perfect complement to our ever-growing inventory.  It looked like Blanton’s, felt like Blanton’s and it wasn’t Bourbon.  We had roughly 12 bottles and after about six text messages to customers…POOF…it was gone!  To put it simply, we have tried re-ordering this Canadian whisky every week since last September and late last week received another 12 bottles.  YUP…another six text messages and it was gone.

BUT…

With everything going on in the world, allocations have opened up a little bit more and we received some additional bottles.  Another 12 to be exact!  Here is a few more reasons why you should hit the “BUY NOW” button, just in case you need a little convincing!  Also, we are pretty sure this will be a “final/final” opportunity to purchase until late fall!

CARIBOU CROSSING “Single Barrel” Canadian Whisky

“Whisky Advocate” 93 Points

Those of you who think Canadian whiskies are thin and bland should give this one a try. No, it’s not a new concept, like Forty Creek. It’s still very much a “traditional” Canadian. But when compared to most Canadian whiskies, it’s richer, creamier, and velvety smooth. The flavors are straightforward — primarily vanilla, with some crème brûlée, toasted marshmallow, tangerine, peaches and cream, and gentle rye spice — but they are clean and well-balanced. A delicious, lighter-style whisky.

CARPE VINO | CV WINE & SPIRITS HOLIDAY HOURS (CVW&S OPEN TOMORROW ONLY)

instantmessage

WE’RE ON HOLIDAY THIS WEEK (except for tomorrow)

This would be the 15th week that Carpe Vino’s restaurant and bar has been serving “To-Go” food only.  When our team was faced with the bitter reality that our restaurant/bar would be reduced to “To-Go” only, we quickly devised a plan; creating new online menus, mobile ordering platforms, safety protocols, marketing tactics, curbside pick-up and much more.  As discussed in prior emails, you hear the words “uncertainty” or “pivot” used repeatedly and we feel that Carpe Vino and CV Wine & Spirits has found a “path” that will keep our doors open for months/years to come.

During those four months, we reduced to a skeleton crew working day-in, day-out, which has allowed little time for any team member to take a little break.  Most of our team has been working five/six days a week and the work doesn’t turn off when you punch out at the end of your shift.  So, as in years past, we will be TAKING HOLIDAY from June 30th-July 6th (except CV Wine & Spirits will be open tomorrow 7/1 from 10am-5pm), returning on July 7th.  We are thankful for our team members, as everyone has stuck together, worked hard and never complained once.

Upon our return, Carpe Vino will only be offering a “To-Go” dining option, as we continue to watch/listen to the ever-changing climate in our business, our country and our world.  TRUST US, WE HEAR YOU and know you want to “dine-in,” but as my 3rd grade teacher would say, “patience is a virtue” and when the time is right, we will offer a new “dine-in experience” our current customers & new customers will thoroughly enjoy.

We greatly appreciate your support and patronage and hope you will continue to order “To-Go” from CV as we continue this phase of our lives.  Our promise is to you is that we will keep pushing ourselves to give you the very best we can offer.  It’s the only way we know how.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend at Carpe Vino or Higgins Corner for “To-Go” pick-ups, but if not, we’ll see you in July!  We wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July holiday!

Just before everything changed in our day-to-day lives, we were just about to release TWO new tasting flights revolving around WHISKEY here at Carpe Vino!  Simply put, “always be tasting” is our motto and a necessity when introducing new products to our clients.  SO…starting today, and while supplies last, we are going to be offering TWO different WHISKEY flights “TO-GO” …with the caveat that you MUST PURCHASE FOOD “TO-GO” as well!

FLIGHT 1 – W.L. WELLER (2oz Each) – $55/flight
Special Reserve, Antique 107, 12 Year

Hands down “Weller” is one of our most sought after whiskey brands currently at Carpe Vino & CV Wine & Spirits.  Highly allocated is an understatement, as these Bourbons are damn well near impossible to find and if you do find them…expect to be paying anywhere from $85-$350/bottle depending on the label.  This is an outstanding opportunity to taste all THREE of these WHEATED BOURBONS, SIDE-BY-SIDE-BY-SIDE, at a very, VERY REASONABLE PRICE.  We will be offering 12 of these flights a day for purchase.  Also, our supply is limited, so I don’t know if we will make the weekend!

FLIGHT 2 – “Exploring Mash Bills” (2oz Each) – $35/flight
W.L. Weller Special Reserve, Eagle Rare 10 Yr, Sazerac 6-Year Rye

This is a great flight to try THREE different Whiskey with mash bills all focusing around different dominant grains.  Weller is dominated by wheat (50+%) Sazerac dominated by Rye (50+%) and Eagle Rare, a 10yr aged Bourbon that is a more traditional Bourbon with less that 10% Rye used.  Definitely a great way to try three different WHISKEYS all side-by-side-by-side!

(FLIGHTS ARE SEALED (Twice) and ONLY SOLD WITH PURCHASE OF FOOD ITEMS)

BUY NOW!

Distillery Tasting Notes: “Tito’s Handmade Vodka is distilled from corn and is certified gluten-free. It is batch distilled in old-fashioned pot stills, similar to fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills, but it’s well worth it. Only the heart of the run, “the nectar” is taken, leaving behind residual higher and lower alcohols. Critics have said Tito’s is “a homegrown symphonic spirit to applaud” and that it “can go head to head with any of the worlds’ greats and not break a sweat.

Try a Tito’s Classic if you want to keep it clean and simple. This is how Tito prefers to drink his vodka! Just add 1.5oz of Tito’s Handmade Vodka and 4oz of water to a rocks glass with ice. Garnish with a lemon slice.”

Wine Enthusiast 95 Points:  “The initial nosing passes find subtle traces of charcoal and roasted grain which are followed by sweeter aromas of sweet grain mash and pipe tobacco. Entry is smoky and charred; the mid-palate is oily, moderately viscous, semisweet and robust. Ends on a delicious oily, bacon-like note. A very well-made American pot still vodka. Best Buy.”
