It's Back!
Absolut Vodka created a special-edition flavored vodka to honor New Orleans,
and the proceeds go to Gulf Coast charities.
Absolut New Orleans, went on sale on August 1st, 2007, and commemorated the anniversary
on Aug. 29 of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans. Absolut only made 35,000
cases, with 100% of the sales going to charities.
"The product is in the tradition of Absolut’s old city-themed campaign–but in this
case it’s not just about a city, but for it, as well. All profits from Absolut
New Orleans will be put toward revitalization efforts throughout the Gulf region.
Among the charities that will benefit are Habitat for Humanity, which is
playing a key role in the region’s reconstruction, and the Louisiana Restaurant
Association, which is helping local eateries bounce back and continue to provide
the cuisine for which the area is so famous."
Town Crier is the first to receive this rare item, and it is in very limited supply.
So, don't wait! Available for $17.79
now thru Sunday June 21st, 2009. This is the lowest price you will ever see on Absolut
New Orleans. We want everyone to get a jump start before it's all gone.
Regular Price: $19.99

Meridian Pinot Noir- Voted Consumer Reports
Best Buy! December 2008. MSRP: $11.99 Town
Crier: $5.99
The 2006 California Pinot Noir exudes the classic hallmarks of Pinot Noir: aromas of Bing cherry with hints of strawberry, roses and violets. It displays
a subtle nuance of black tea and earth with a dash of vanilla oak spice. The flavor
profile is elegant and medium- bodied with a velvety texture. Its complex flavors
are juicy and mouth-filling, mirroring the aromas, including cherry and fig. This
wine has a silky texture with slightly firm tannins and a long finish.
Gloria Ferrer Pinot Noir- MSRP: $28.00
Town Crier: $16.99
As is always the case, the 2006 is a study in red fruit and earth.
The aromas first display Bing cherry, rose petal and pomegranate, then open to wood
spice, mocha and a complex dried leaf note. The palate is both silky and delineated,
with an ample core of bright red fruit and autumn spice flavors that echo the nose.
Menage a Trois Rose- MSRP: $11.99
Town Crier: $7.79
The 2006 Menage a Trois Rose is a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Gewürztraminer.
The two red grapes received a 24-hour cold soak on the skins to give the wine its
suggestive pinkness and luscious body. The Gewürztraminer was cold fermented to
preserve it. Bohemian Highway Cabernet- MSRP: $ 9.99
Town Crier: $5.99
A wonderful blend of ripe fruit and spice. Sweet plum and black cherry
flavors are complemented by a hint of cocoa and pepper.
Snap Dragon Red Blend - MSRP: $10.99 Town Crier: $6.89
Intense flavors of raspberry, plum
and blackberry and a hint of toffee. Great with Barbeque, Pizza, or Spicy
Food.
A by Acacia Red Blend- MSRP: $15.99
Town Crier: $9.99
The myriad
of dark fruit and floral notes in this Pinot Noir come from the cool, windy Los
Carneros American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the southern reaches of Napa Valley.
Satsuma plum, blackberry, red rose and violet notes weave through the enticing aromas,
mingled with warm nuances of vanilla and toasted oak from barrel aging. Silky, elegant
flavors echo the aromas, adding blueberry and plum to the rich fruit complexity.
Cigars:
Smoking cigars can be a relaxing event. On the other hand, selecting the perfect
cigar for the enjoyment on the patio or deck can be a bit more daunting. There are
literally thousands of different types of cigars in the world. They come in different
colors, shapes, sizes, and flavors. Let’s start with the basics so that your shopping
experience can be as enjoyable as smoking a cigar.
A cigar is basically tobacco leaves rolled up into a round shape. Cigars can be
rolled by machines or by hand rolling. Machine made cigars usually have bits of
ground up tobacco, kind of like a cigarette, inside and a tobacco leaf wrapped around
it to hold it all together. Hand made cigars are a different story. The leaves are
whole tobacco, not ground, and each part of the cigar is whole tobacco leaves. Cigars
are made up of 3 parts: filler, wrapper, and binder. Each part does exactly
what it says. The filler is the inner most section of the cigar, the binder is a
leaf that hold the inside of the cigar from unwinding, and the wrapper is the outer
most part that keeps everything on the inside together.
