We're very excited here at R&C about all of the changes that have taken place for us lately. First, we've got a really terrific new website that we're very proud of. We'll be updating and making changes so be sure to check back now and then for new stuff!
Second, we've just gotten some new wines in. Most notably we're now carrying an expanded selection of organic wines. Stellar Organics has just introduced their South African sulfite free organic 2006 Cabernet that features dark red color and has a nose of a dark berry fruit. We've also got Stellar's Live-a-Little really ravishing red and wildly wicked white. Also in-store is Sincerity 2003 Merlot/Cabernet. The 2003 vintage is 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet, made entirely with organically grown grapes.
Organic spirits have hit the market this year, and we're now able to offer costumers an array of gin, vodka and rum all with organic labels; Juniper Green Gin, Utkins U.K.5 Organic Vodka, and Papagayo Rums, plain or spiced. The rum and gin meet the Soil Association's standard of organic purity, while the U.K.5 vodka bears a USDA organic seal.
Organic beers have been slowly making their way onto the market. Wolaver's, Pinkus, Schneider, and Sam Smith have led the way for other producers, such as Green Valley Brewers and Peak Organic Brewing Company. Cantillon Organic Gueuze is an oak-aged and blended lambic called the "champagne of Belgium"
R&C takes people's special requests very seriously. For those facing celiac disease or gluten intolerance we're now offering a variety of gluten-free products. Bard's Tale Beer, Redbridge, Lakefront Brewery, and Ramapo Valley Brewery Passover Honey Beer which is also Kosher for Passover. Hard cider is another great alternative for those who need to stay free of gluten products. We've got Doc's Draft, West County Cider, CiderJack, and Woodchuck Hard Cider. Strongbow, Magners, Cidre Organic and Woodpeckers round out the grouping with imported hard ciders. If someone you know has issues with gluten, let them know about our gluten-free offerings. Many folks are not aware that options for wheat-free products extend beyond wines!!
Check back often and see what we're up to, and feel free to comment on our offerings. As always, if you are looking for a specific product available in Massachusetts, we can and will find it for you!
