September is here! I love this time of year in the valley, it might just be my favorite! Right now with the kids already back in school for over 2 weeks I feel like I have fast forwarded right through the end of August. It has truly been a beautiful late summer with all the vegetation so green from the monsoons season.
In September things do slow down a bit, but we still have Labor Day weekend, the Fiber Festival, Vapor Trail, Bike Fest, Banana Belt, Crest Crank, Monarch Crest Enduro, HRRMC Fundraiser and I know I’m sure I am missing some others. And that’s slowing down Salida? Even with a long list of events on the calendar it does slow down in comparison to the past few months so it’s a great time to enjoy many local places all to ourselves. This September “The Jug” will be welcoming back Sue to regular shifts!! She took a sabbatical over the summer but decided she missed all of you too much to not come back! Welcome back Sue!!
The next time I write this letter the leaves in the high country will mostly be on the ground, the leaves will be in full force here in the valley, the sun will be noticeably lower in the sky and the days shorter…yikes!! So until then get out and get some. And while getting some, be sure to come and see us at the F street bridge so we can help keep you nice and refreshed from your activities. As always you know we will have the best deals in the valley. Till next time.
Sincerely,
The staff at Arlie Dale’s Jug Liquors

Vina Labrada Macabeo 2016

Youthful but sophisticated, the wine entices with aromas of honeydew melon, juicy tangerine, and a slight hint of butterscotch. In the mouth, the wine strikes an impossible balance between voluptuous and delicate - with a silky, weighty mouth feel playing counterpoint to fine-spun flavors of citrus blossom and a hint of cinnamon. The slight structure provided by oak frames the wine’s delicacy perfectly, providing length and depth to its elegance.
Enjoy this wine with butter sautéed sea scallops, served with an arugula salad with goat cheese and mandarin oranges.

Notre Dame Rose 2016

A vibrant pink color with tints of orange. Perfumed and floral, with sweet strawberry, flowers, mint, and cherry blossom aromas. Hits the palate with freshness, elegant texture, bright acidity and a clean, dry profile. Beautiful mineral notes add complexity to the medium-bodied, well-balanced, and lively finish. Harvested overnight, fermented at very cold temperatures, and rested on the lees before bottling. Undergoes a partial malolactic fermentation to add texture and finesse. Drink alongside traditional Mediterranean dishes such as couscous, paella, ceviche, and anything from the sea. Also works well as an aperitif.

Chateau Segries Lirac 2015
Was $24.99 - Now $18.99
Tasted as a barrel sample, the 2015 Lirac Cuvee Reservee is a beauty.

It's another superstar wine to drink over the coming 7-8 years.

Tabali Reserva Especial Syrah 2013
Was $24.99 - Now $18.99
Boysenberry, cassis, woodsy spice and leathery aromas hit the right chords. This feels tight and juicy due to bright core acidity.

Drink through 2021.
