Champagne of Beers!

Champagne-style beer for our most enthusiastic beer commoisseurs. This delicious concoction can truly be referred to as the "champagne of beers". Why? Because it is fermented and aged like a true champagne. It all starts in Belgium with traditionally brewed Belgian ale made with summer barley and the brewery's own secret recipe. In France, it is then treated like a champagne; yeast is added and it is bottled to undergo a third fermentation. The third fermentation traps a frothy bubbly mousse. It is aged on its lees (yeast) for several months, then disgorged and corked. This "brew of the gods", or DEUS, is incredibly refreshing, full of flavor with spirituous aromas and a long lingering finish. This is truly a harmony of beer brewing and wine making. This delightful sparkling brew is a great match with cheese plates, or simply as an aperitif. It also makes a great gift for those beer drinkers who have everything.

January Wine Dinner

Wines of France's Languedoc Region January 14, 2008, 7:00 pm-9:30 pm The history of viticulture in the wilderness of France's Languedoc dates back to the 5th century B.C. The early Greeks were the first to plant vines here, making the vineyard land in this region some of the oldest in France. This southern region of France and its temperate climate make it a fantastic environment in which to grow grapes. This region produces more wine than any other region in France. Indeed quantity does not always coincide with quality and for the early years of the last century this region was well know for its cheap, innocuous wines. With that said, the last thirty years has brought a new generation of winemakers to the region and they have seized upon the potential of this land for great wines made from old vineyards in ancient riverbeds, and have redoubled their efforts to produce artisanal wines that clearly express a sense of place. So join us for a tasting tour of one of France's least known, but very exciting regions. Enjoy delicious dishes created to complement these wines prepared by Panzanella Chef, Chris Capron. The cost of this event is $45 per person; space is limited, so reserve early. Please pay in advance and pick up a ticket for this tasting at either Panzanella or the customer service desk at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro.
