They are quite delicious. I am usually an IPA consumer, however now that I've tried these FIVE amazing beers...it's going to be a LONG while before I drink another IPA! </span><br />

When my wife and I are in the mood for breakfast and we want to dine, <a href="http://cafezola.com/" target="_blank">Cafe Zola</a> is the perfect place. We have been regular diners for many years. Everything is delicious. In fact, there are times you'll have to wait an hour for a table, but it's well worth the wait! We love the rosemary dusted french fries, savory & sweet crepes, greek-yogurt & lemon zest waffles, hearty and flavorful omelettes, Salmon Hash and Salmon burger! If you are looking for a unique food experience and the best value for your money -<a href="http://cafezola.com/brunch/favorites/" target="_blank">Turkish Brunch</a> is an <em>amazing</em> deal. It comes with a pastry & bread basket, delicious coffee or tea, and those vegetable dolmas are fantastic! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cafe Zola is owned by Hediye and Alan and has been open since March of 1996. The original breakfast and lunch menu is influenced by French culture and cuisine, therefore the owners named their restaurant after French novelist, playwright and journalist: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Zola" target="_blank">Emile Zola</a>. Italian, Mediterranean and Turkish culture and cuisine influences their dinner menu. The Grilled Lamb Chops "a la Turque" is a must-try! </span><br />

The cuisine at <a href="http://www.annarbor.com/restaurants/eve-the-restaurant/" target="_blank">Eve</a> was based on French philosophy of cooking with African, Cuban, and Vietnamese influences. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was very excited that Chef Eve decided to open a Cuban-inspired restaurant, <a href="http://www.fritabatidos.com/" target="_blank">Frita Batidos</a>. I am so glad she did. The fresh ginger and lime juice is refreshing. My wife and I enjoy the <a href="http://www.fritabatidos.com/menu/" target="_blank">Fritas</a> - Inspired by traditional Cuban burgers made from spicy chorizo served with shoestring fries on top of a soft egg bun. The Frita choices are: Chorizo, Black Bean, Chicken, Fish, Beef. If you <i>love</i> Plantains like I do, I recommend "Loaded Plantains." "The Best Snack Ever" is really the best snack ever! They also have a kid's menu. For dessert, my wife recommends the churros and you can get it with chocolate Español.

Their bagels have a wonderful combination of soft and chewy. We like the blueberry the best. Their only Michigan <a href="https://www.barrybagels.com/Locations.aspx?all=t" target="_blank">location</a> is in Ann Arbor, the others are in Ohio.

She was my "secret santa" at work and generously surprised me with a scarf and a bag of Mexico. Mexico is a <em>very</em> good dark roast, perfectly balanced and has a wonderful depth of flavor. Colombia and Ethiopia are also very good roasts. Make sure you call ahead or take a look at their <a href="http://uglymugcafeandroastery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=4" target="_blank">menu</a> since the availability of the roasts may vary each week. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Ugly Mug Cafe is one of the first small batch artisan roasteries in Michigan. I love their relaxed atmosphere and unique decor. This is certainly a great place to read a book, study and meet friends for good conversations. If you haven't tried their bagel sandwiches - I recommend ordering one with your coffee. I love the "Big Breakfast" (picture below). They offer coffee cupping and coffee lab events each month which are available to the public and free, unless otherwise noted. Check this <a href="http://uglymugcafeandroastery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=4&Itemid=8" target="_blank">link </a>for more information. </span><br />

Our first experience was delightful. Several years ago, we were visiting my wife's sister in NYC and she took us to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koreatown,_Manhattan" target="_blank">Koreatown</a> for frozen yogurt. Since then I've been waiting for Pinkberry to open up a store in Michigan. They are a Los Angeles-based company and had opened their first store in 2005. The only Michigan location is at <a href="http://www.simon.com/mall/briarwood-mall" target="_blank">Briarwood Mall</a> in Ann Arbor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Pinkberry's original flavor is my favorite. It reminds me of the yogurt drink,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakult" target="_blank">Yakult</a>, that my grandparents would <em>always</em> buy for me during our visit to Taiwan. The <a href="http://www.pinkberry.com/frozen-yogurt" target="_blank">yogurt choices</a> at Briarwood are original, mango, coconut, pomegranate, chocolate, and peanut butter. There are <a href="http://www.pinkberry.com/toppings" target="_blank">30 different toppings</a> to choose from including fresh fruit (strawberry, mango, pineapple), dry (toasted almonds, cheesecake bites, granola), and liquid (honey, chocolate & caramel sauce). You can also enjoy Pinkberry as a smoothie, a shake or fresh fruit parfait! If you end up enjoying Pinkberry as much as we do - get the <a href="http://www.pinkberry.com/pinkcard" target="_blank">loyalty card</a> and earn rewards. </span><br />

At every meal, I enjoyed the most <i>amazing </i>refried beans, corn tortillas, plantains, and dishes with tomatillo & mole sauces. Ever since that moment I've been in a love affair with this beautiful culture and cuisine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now my love affair has a name, <a href="http://www.isalita.com/" target="_blank">Isalita</a>. She brings back all the good memories and creates new ones too. I love the idea of serving in the form of Tapas. This creates a fun and interactive experience. Last night I enjoyed the company of three close friends from college (Liz, Onkyong, & Ben). The food was just as wonderful as our conversation. We had Truffle Guacamole, Spicy Tuna Ceviche, Al Pastor, Baja Fish, Lengua, Carnitas, Elotes, and Pollo Feliz. I won't say too much about how incredible that meal was, you'll just have to find out for yourself. Join them for Hora Feliz (Happy Hour) Tuesday-Friday, 4-6pm at the bar and bring some friends! </span><br />

We sat down on a Saturday with Gasper Militello, the owner, and had a sampling of his specialty - European Tortes. To be honest, until that day occurred I had no idea that cake could be so delicious. It was light and airy and had such an elegance to it. It was beautiful. We</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> chose the pineapple mandarin orange torte and it was amazing! It has become a tradition to celebrate our anniversary with a Militello Torte every year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Militello's is a family owned business and has been making amazing European Tortes and other pastries for three generations -25 years. They offer <a href="http://www.militellosbakery.com/products.html" target="_blank">19 different Torte flavors</a>. Aside from our wedding cake favorite, we have also enjoyed tiramisu, kaluha, and the strawberry torte. Make sure you call ahead to schedule an appointment for free cake sampling and enjoy your time with Gasper (I loved his enthusiasm)! They make tortes for any occasion and from the picture below, you can see that we were NOT disappointed. =)</span></span><br />

It was such a treat meeting the owner, Sylvia. I loved her hospitality and she was very enthusiastic about her Salvadoran cuisine and South American drinks. Sylvia is especially proud of her hibiscus tea and horchata. I'm not much of a hisbiscus tea drinker, but my wife loved it and my brother enjoyed the tamarind drink. Since we were first-timers, Sylvia recommended the <a href="http://pilarstamales.com/cafe/" target="_blank">tamale special</a>: one tamale, casamiento, fried plantains, curtido, and a house drink. The meal was very good. I can't wait to try the pupusa which is a handmade tortilla filled with meat, cheeses, and refried beans then grilled. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Pilar's Tamales is named after Sylvia's Aunt Pilar. Sylvia and her mom pride themselves in using the freshest ingredients including organic, locally-grown produce, and meat (free of antibiotics and hormones). They offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. Everything is home-made and delicious! Pilar's also offers full-service <a href="http://pilarstamales.com/catering/" target="_blank">catering</a>. Make sure you stop in soon and visit Sylvia at her cafe location or you can also enjoy her tamales at the Ann Arbor's Farmer's Market or at the <a href="http://www.westsidefarmersmarket.com/news" target="_blank">Westside Farmer's Market</a> - every Thursday (3-7pm) from June 6 thru September 26.</span><br />

My friend Kathy was a vegetarian and she <em>LOVED</em> Indian food. Her enthusiasm and excitement for this cuisine was contagious! I ended up loving Indian cuisine as much as she did and I'm so thankful that she had made this introduction. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When my wife started teaching in A2 - 7 years ago, her mentor (Dorothy) introduced us to <a href="http://www.shalimarrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Shalimar</a>. Our first experience was ridiculous, I had ordered way TOO MUCH food! We still laugh about what the other patrons must have thought when they saw our "buffet-style" meal. If you are curious, but hesitant on trying North Indian, Tandoori, and Mughlai cuisine then their lunch specials are perfect for you. You won't have to spend "dinner prices" to try something new and exciting! The spice levels can be adjusted (from mild to hot, we enjoy our dishes at medium plus). We have tried all the Indian restaurants in A2 and this is the best.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To me, excellent pizza is about creating the perfect marriage between the dough and its toppings. In my opinion, there are <em>only</em> two places in A2 that have mastered this art: <a href="http://www.jollypumpkin.com/" target="_blank">Jolly Pumpkin</a> Artisan Ales and <a href="http://maniosteria.com/" target="_blank">Mani Osteria & Bar</a>. Mani's pizzas are prepared via wood burning ovens. They use high quality ingredients and most are locally sourced. I appreciate their vision of simplicity and creativity with their dishes. We love their Wood Fired Pizzas - they are all so delicious!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our friends (Jon and Fi) rave about their handcrafted pastas and Antipasti dishes. We look forward to enjoying the pickled tomatoes, pastas and calamari - of which Fi talks so highly about! Mani offers a fantastic <a href="http://maniosteria.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/LunchMenu_3.11.pdf" target="_blank">lunch special</a> which includes a salad or soup with either pasta, sandwich or pizza. They also have a kids menu. They offer a full bar with craft beers, old world wines, specialty cocktails and a good selection of scotch and bourbon whiskeys. I am consistently impressed with Mani's fabulous hospitality, knowledgable staff and <em>AMAZING</em> food! </span><br />

As a teenager, I remember our commute from Jenison, Michigan <em>JUST</em> for<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_sum"> Dim Sum </a>with my parents and grandparents. The quality of food was certainly better 20 years ago, but that's just how I remember it. If you're craving dim sum and Chicago is just too far of a drive, then this is the next best thing. If you're not into dim sum, they do have a Chinese menu that you can order from. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">If you're in Chicago - I recommend spending a few hours in Chinatown and enjoying dim sum at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/three-happiness-original-restaurant-chicago#query:best%20dim%20sum">Three Happiness Original Restaurant</a> or<a href="http://www.chinatownphoenix.com/"> Phoenix Restaurant</a>. Then going to <a href="http://www.chiuquonbakery.com/">Chiu Quon Bakery</a> for some delicious Chinese pastries! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>Overall: 80 (Average)</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">***In my opinion, Dim Sum is more authentic in larger cities (Chicago, San Francisco, New York & Toronto) that have a larger demographic of Chinese/Taiwanese residents. The taste wouldn't be compromised to "fit" certain palates.</span><br />

It comes <em>packed</em> to the brim with chicken shawarma, fresh romaine lettuce, house dressing and a delicious spicy cheese. The garlic sauce that comes with this salad is <em>amazing</em> too and it comes with plenty of pita bread. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The chicken shawarma and spicy eggplant sandwiches are also very very good. I'm sure whatever you order from Pita Pita, you won't be disappointed (as long as you have a "open-minded" palate). =) My colleagues and I enjoy ordering from Pita Pita because not only do they have delicious food, they also deliver! </span><br />

This store is one-of-its-kind in A2. Babo's ambience has a simple-yet-refined metropolitan feel to it. In the summer, the sidewalk patio opens up allowing patrons to enjoy refreshments (beer and wine) along with their meals. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Babo carries coffee beans from three of my favorite places: <a href="http://roosroast.com/">RoosRoast</a>, <a href="http://www.mightygoodcoffee.com/">Mighty Good Coffee Roasting Co</a>., and <a href="http://uglymugcafeandroastery.com/">The Ugly Mug</a>. They carry baked goods from <a href="http://www.avalonbreads.net/goodies/breads/">Avalon International Breads</a> and you can even find gluten-free products in the store. If you love spicy pickles,<a href="http://www.mcclurespickles.com/"> McClure's</a> is the best and you can find it near the wine & beer section. Make sure you stop by during Happy Hour (3pm-6pm daily) and get 20% off when you mix your own 6-pack. My wife and I love their fresh squeezed juices and can't wait to try <a href="http://baboannarbor.com/?page_id=443">Babo's Juice Cleanse</a>!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Cow Milk, Pasteurized</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Aged 2 months to 2 years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This cheese is fantastic. It is slightly salty with butterscotch and hazelnut nuances. It is firm-yet-buttery in texture. Mimolette pairs well with IPAs and Ales. It is also delicious with salami and red wine, particularly a bold cabernet sauvignon or pinot noir. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This is a perfect balance of sweet, salt and cream. It is easy to shred, slice and melt thus making it a versatile cheese. Parrano's flavor complements Italian cuisine. It is delicious with <a href="http://www.morganandyork.com/goods/product/sopressata-peppata-salami/" target="_blank">Sopressata Peppata</a> and <a href="http://www.morganandyork.com/goods/product/sopressata-abruzzese-salami/" target="_blank">Sopressata Abruzzese</a>. </span><br />

<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Cow Milk, Pasteurized</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This cheese is <em>SO</em> good. It has a soft-buttery texture and a tangy edible rind. This intense "brie" has hints of mushroom and grass with sweet clover nuances. We like spreading this on a toasted baguette with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It's also delicious served on crackers with <a href="http://www.dalmatiaimports.com/" target="_blank">Dalmatia Fig</a> spread or <a href="http://www.caputosdeli.com/mitica-wild-lavender-honey-200-grams/" target="_blank">Mitica spanish wild lavender honey</a>. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Manchester cheese exhibits the seasonal changes of the Dutch-belted cow milk and its distinct flavors. The flavors range from an earthy nuance in the spring time to creaminess in the winter. This is a creamy and velvety cheese. Its delicious on its own.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bridgewater cheese is so flavorful. This is one of my favorites. This is a super-rich double cream cheese with Tellicherry black peppercorns. The peppery notes complement its earthy and citrus nuances. Bridgewater is best with unflavored crackers. As it ages the peppery notes become more flavorful and works well sprinkled on salads and soups. I like pairing this with some thinly sliced <a href="http://cheesygrapes.blogspot.com/2013/01/morgan-york-ann-arbor-michigan.html">prosciutto</a> or <a href="http://www.zingermans.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=M-BLR">jamon ibérico</a> and a glass of <a href="http://www.beauvigne.com/In-the-Press.php" target="_blank">Beau Vigne Juliet</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Point Reyes Original Blue won Best Cheese/Dairy product in 2011 by the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, <a href="http://www.specialtyfood.com/">NASFT</a>. It is all natural, made with raw milk and vegetarian (microbial) rennet. If you're looking for a Kosher-certified & gluten-free cheese, this is it. This cheese is sweet and creamy and is a mouthful of "blue" notes. I have only enjoyed this with red wine, but I can imagine the original blue complementing steak, salads, dips, and port very well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Goat Milk, Pasteurized</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This creamy cheese is rich in flavor of herb, floral, and citrus notes. The intensity and depth of flavors continue to develop with maturation. It pairs excellently with Ales, IPAs, Stouts, and Porters. Humboldt Fog also pairs well with sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, zinfandel or pinot noir. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This cheese is delicious as a topping on roasted sweet potatoes with pecans, celery and dried cranberries (<a href="http://definedbyfood.blogspot.com/2012/11/thanks-for-giving-sk.html">link to the recipe</a>). It's an instant crowd-pleaser at Thanksgiving meals! </span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kerrygold cheeses have notable distinctive creamy tastes. Kilaree is a firm, rich, and smooth cheese. Vintage Dubliner has the characteristics of a mature cheddar, the bite of an aged parmesan, and the nutty nuances of swiss. Both are excellent with <a href="http://www.morganandyork.com/goods/product/piller-s-caliente-salami/">Pillar's Caliente Salami</a>.</span></div>

My friend (Mark) and I shared this mini bottle of <a href="http://www.themacallan.com/the-range.aspx" target="_blank">The Macallan 12</a>. <i>Immediately,</i> after the first sip, I wished I had bought a fifth. It was <b>so good</b> and the word "good" doesn't even begin to describe it. After the initial sweetness (matured in Spanish sherry oak casks for a minimum of 12 years), the depth of flavors were overwhelming. It was such an amazing palate experience of vanilla, sweet toffee, dried fruits and wood smoke. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you're a beginner scotch enthusiast like me, I would recommend The Macallan 12 as your "second tasting." Try <a href="http://www.theglenlivet.com/the-whisky/the-classic-range" target="_blank">The Glenlivet 12</a> first so that you can understand the peaty flavor profile, then try The Macallan 12. If you're courageous like I am, try <a href="http://www.ardbeg.com//ardbeg/whisky/ardbeg-uigeadail" target="_blank">Ardbeg Uigeadail</a> and only if you can get a mini bottle or a friend is offering you a taste. It'll be a waste of excellent scotch if you buy a fifth and don't enjoy it. Ardbeg Uigeadail is delicious and truly for those who enjoy its intense peaty notes. It has such a beautiful balance of sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavors. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">In my opinion, there is <strong><em>NOT</em></strong> a better SUSHI restaurant in the state of Michigan. Noble Fish is a Japanese grocery store and Sushi Restaurant. Seating is limited to 6 tables and we have never had the opportunity to dine-in. They sell packaged sushi rolls and sashimi. Everything is fresh and delicious. We have never been disappointed. You can also buy sashimi grade fish that you can slice at home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">It's worth the commute, it takes us 90 minutes round-trip. You can make a day-trip out of it: lunch at Noble Fish and then spend the day shopping at <a href="http://www.thesomersetcollection.com/" target="_blank">Somerset Mall</a> in Troy. The next best sushi restaurant is <a href="http://www.sadakojapaneserestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Sadako</a> in Ann Arbor. You won't be disappointed, Noble Fish is a must try! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We were introduced to Zingerman's Deli by my wife's colleague, Dorothy. That was many years ago, since then we have been regulars. When Dorothy was teaching in the UK, she would fly back for a weekend <i>just</i> to eat at Zingerman's. At first I thought she was <i>insane, </i>but now knowing how amazing this place is I would do the same.</span><br />

It was featured in <a href="http://draftmag.com/new/feature/americas-100-best-beer-bars-2011/#midwest" target="_blank">Draft Magazine</a> as one of the top 100 best beer bars in America. Ashley's is about a five minute walk from </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diag" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Diag</span></a> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(University of Michigan)</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">. This pub features<em> <strong>72 beers</strong></em> <strong><em>on tap</em></strong> and three casks pour- from michigan microbrews to national & international craft ales and lagers. They also have an impressive collection of scotch and bourbon whiskies, which you can enjoy in "flights." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">To me, Ashley's is a lot like my freshmen year at Michigan State - ridiculous memories and great friends. I can't pinpoint whether it's the beer, the Stilton fries, or the intellectual bonding during pub trivia (Mondays at 7pm) that brings depth to friendships. Which ever it is, Ashley's will forever be a memorable place in A2 for me. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been <em>searching</em> for a book like this for years and I'm glad I found it (<em>I picked up this book at Borders, weeks after they announced bankruptcy)</em>. <strong>WHY</strong> is this book <u><em>special</em></u> and not the thousands out there? Well, in my opinion, this book is more <strong>FACTS</strong> than fiction - meaning the author isn't <strong>only</strong> giving you his or her "two-cents." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This author knows how to <em>engage</em> and draw-in his audience. His book is littered with hilarious anecdotes and personal stories, easy to comprehend facts, and it reads like a conversation (between you and Mr. <a href="http://winetasting.org/" target="_blank">Mark Phillips</a>). At the end of the book I hope you will realize, as I did, that being knowledgable in wine is less important than knowing how to enjoy it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My favorite chapters are:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">3. Why the Ratings are Silly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">4. Different Shaped Glasses are a Waste of Money</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">12. How Wine Shops Work</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">13. What Wines I Like and How I Buy Wine</span><br />

When I moved to Ann Arbor from Grand Rapids in 2009, I never once thought I would find a place like <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/international-beverage-company-grand-rapids" target="_blank">International Beverage Company</a> again. I found <a href="http://www.aawineseller.com/" target="_blank">The Wine Seller</a> in 2010 (this place exceeded my expectations!), owned by <a href="http://www.annarbor.com/business-review/with-hollywood-as-its-customer-the-wine-seller-moves-to-expand/" target="_blank">Patel brothers</a>, Swetang & Hardik. They are both friendly, patient, and have an extensive knowledge of wines and craft beers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Seriously. The pictures (below) cannot emulate the <i><b>WONDERFUL</b></i> and overwhelming <i><b>EXCITEMENT</b></i> you get when you're standing in the store. Quoting Levar Burton from Reading Rainbow: "But you don't have to take my word for it." You'll just have to stop by and experience this for yourself!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are my reasons WHY they are the BEST in town:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> <b>Wine Storage</b>: wines are kept in a dimly lit and cool area (unlike most of the wine shops in A2).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Staff</b>: Patient, friendly, knowledgable. Some stores in A2 care only about "selling" rather than taking the time to help you find something you'll enjoy. If you're like me and like to ask questions before buying - this is the place to go - they will ANSWER ALL your questions. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Extensive variety</b>: whether you're in the mood for a chardonnay, champagne, merlot, California cabernet sauvignon, burgandy or bourdeaux, Washington pinot noir, sake, port, stout or an IPA - you'll find something exciting to try...guaranteed!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Discounts</b> offered when you buy 6 bottles or a case (12) of wine.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Price</b>: You don't need to look elsewhere, they have the best and fairest prices in town. (I have looked).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Special Orders</b>: If you can't find what you're looking for, please ask - they were able to find the 2005 Duckhorn Three Palms Merlot for me and at a great price!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Make your OWN 6 Pack</b>: There is no other place in town that will have a wide variety of craft beers that you can mix and match. </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Quality & Variety: 98</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Quality of Service: 100</span><br />
