BeerAdvocate.com named Dilly Deli Wines & Gourmet
one of the Top 50 Beer Bars in America!!!
On April 7th, BeerAdvocate.com (one of the top internet sites devoted to quality beer) released their Top 50 Beer Bars in America! We are extremely pleased and proud to announce that Dilly Deli Wines & Gourmet was #43 on that list, and the only one named in all of Ohio, Indiana, or Kentucky!
From the BeerAdvocate.com release: "Beer bars provide direct support for the craft beer industry and aid in its continued growth by raising consumer awareness and presenting beer in unique ways. Beer bars actually care about the beer they sell, it shows, and consumers grow to appreciate and share this passion." The list was generated from over 7,000 reviews of nearly 2,500 bars, and took into account the overall ratings as well as the number of reviews. "While the list certainly isn't the end all and be all, [we] believe that it's an accurate and awesome snapshot of the best beer bars in America," noted Todd Alstrom, Co-Founder of BeerAdvocate.com.
We are certainly aware of other great beer bars in our three states, so we are humbled and thankful that our customers thought enough of us to give us the reviews they did! And if anything, it challenges us to do more and get even better! As BeerAdvocate says: "All hail the beer bar!"

April 9 Wine Tasting Report
This weekend we welcomed Maureen Hunley of Vanguard Wines, who featured some great values as well as one great rarity!
2002 Terres Falmet Cinsault, a hearty red from the south of France, and always a stunning value ($9.99) and hugely popular at any tasting it has appeared, and this was no exception! Blue fruit and long, pure flavors make this a taster's favorite.
2003 Domaine des Cassagnoles, a crisp white also from southern France, a clean juicy blend of Ugni Blanc (also known as Trebbiano) and Gros Manseng perfect for summer patios and light wallets ($6.99)!
And the rarity: Also from Terres Falmet, the 2003 Viognier, hand harvested at tiny yields of only 1/2 ton per acre from a plot less that 1-1/2 acres big (do the math - less than a ton of grapes!) to produce only 125 cases for the entire world! 25 cases came to service Ohio and Kentucky, and NONE can be found in Covington, Newport, or Bellevue. This is a beautiful, moving wine, we have two cases available and this tasting was probably your only opportunity to taste before purchasing it! At $27.99 it's not cheap but considering the quality and rarity, still a bargain. We sold plenty of it, though--almost HALF of our allocation--so you agreed with us! If you missed out, we still have some more for now, so let us know if you want some.
2002 Armador Cabernet Sauvignon from the Odfjell Vineyards from this side of the pond in Chile's Maipo Valley! This sturdy little cab reminds me of a baby Bordeaux in it's personality, and at $10.99 is another exceptional bargain!
We love these wines, and judging by the sales of them on Saturday, you did too. This next Saturday, April 16, we'll host Todd Wiggs of Wine Trends, who'll pour two wines from British Columbia (!), one from Spain, and a delicious California Pinot Noir.
Tastings are from Noon until 3pm at the store in Mariemont.
