It's another Holiday weekend and we hope you make Old Town part of it. There's air conditioning EVERYWHERE, cold drinks, ice cream & our coolers are stocked with COLD beer & wine! Stop in First Friday for our tasting!
First up, our tasting tonight from 6p-9p! Kelly from Free Run Wine Merchants will be here pouring wine and you may remember, she's who re-introduced the wines of Laurent Miquel to the area & even had the man himself in for a tasting! Since it's summer we decided to feature his rose again  This wine is harvested at night,  maturation is on lees in stainless steel tanks. It has a beautiful pale pink color & this Cinsault Syrah (70% & 30%) epitomizes the best of southern French rosés. It's fruit-forward and has a perfect balance. The Cinsault adds a fresh, smooth texture to the blend and the Syrah reveals delicious red fruit flavors with a dramatic color. Same as last year, it's $12.59
Sixth generation winemaker, Francoise Antech, inherited the ancient craft of making Blanquette, the original French bubbly that pre-dates Dom Pérignon’s “discovery” of Champagne by over 150 years. The family’s property lies on gentle slopes of the Mediterranean benefiting from the sunlight. This Chardonnay blew me away when I first tried it. It has a lot of fruit & a lovely mouth feel with lots of weight and creaminess. I've hand sold several cases of it and decided it was time to feature it during a tasting. It's $14.59 a bottle.
Next, we feature Genio Espanol Monastrell 2017 from Jumilla Spain, also know as Mourvedre in France. It's generally higher in alcohol, this is a fruity dry favorite of mine. This wine has been on my radar and on my shelves off and on for years. Like the Antech chard, I really want to turn people on to it. The issue is what, is it? It's a Monestrell. What's that? It's Mourvedre. What's that? See my challenge? Come try it tonight and find out for yourself! It's $12.59
And our Big Boy tonight! Not really big because of it's delicacy & finesse. It's light, like a Pinot Noir, but has a little more weight and lovely silkiness. And because, perhaps, Willamette Valley Red wine shouldn't only be about Pinot Noir. We offer you a light, subtly savory and aromatic alternative - the new Willamette Valley Red blend. Their slogan is drink differently, something Murphys can get behind! This one is $34.59
The next meeting of the Murphy Beverage Co. & Winchester Book Gallery Wine & Book Club is on Wednesday July 10th at 6pm at the Book Gallery, 7 North Loudoun St. on the Mall. We will be discussing Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. We want you to come whether you liked it or not! All sides and opinions are relevant. If you haven't read it, you may want to consider coming, too. The discussion may be just what you need to push you to buy a copy. My big takeaway is that I knew NOTHING about Apartheid. It only came to my attention when it fell and many of the musical artists that I listened to started boycotting South Africa because of it. This book is funny, gut wrenching and eye opening. I'm really glad it was chosen. I will be pairing South African wines with it and the cost is $10.00. You'll be able to purchase the wines at a discount, too. Remember, there's only one rule of book club, you have to buy the book from the Winchester Book Gallery (unless you already have it.) See you Wednesday. 
Our final tasting of the Month will be on July 27th with Fabio from Bravo Wine Cellers from 2p-5p. Don't forget! Our wine tastings are always free & open to the public and you get 10% off of the wines sampled. 

The Platinum Wine Club is the only club in the area where you design it yourself! Murphys invites you to Explore the World of Wine 2 bottles at a time! Call 540-723-9719

Just a friendly Reminder that Murphy's delivers! We ask that you order 6 bottles of wine or a case of beer & BOOM! For $5.00, we'll bring it to your door!
