Larry walks us through the GlenRo Spirit Shoppe, showing us the amazingly large inventory he is able to stock. Perhaps this is why he is able to give us the best deals on beer, wine and spirits in the state of CT. Congrats again to Larry on becoming the new owner of GlenRo. Stop on by and say hello! 487 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe, CT (203) 261-6166. Tell them LIHTV sent you.

Larry and Chef Dave taste and discuss 2 boxed wines, Pepperwood Grove’s “Big Green Box”, CA, Chardonnay and Black Box Wines, Merlot. You will find many reasons why you should try wine-in-a-box. Taste, cost and longevity are just a few. Come on down to GlenRo in Monroe, CT or ask for them at your local wine store. Enjoy…please drink responsibly! Jon and Dave taste red and white wines from Portugal, using the wine wheel. Check out these great-tasting wines at super values here at GlenRo or ask for them at your local wine shop. Please drink responsibly. Jon does an excellent job of explaining what the Wine Wheel is all about. I had never heard of it, but it’s definitely a great resource if you want to help develop your sense of smelling, and describing, wine. Check out the website too, http://www.winearomawheel.com, you can even buy a t-shirt. Please drink responsibly. Today, Larry tests 2 nice vinos from Italy, the white is a 2008 Vernaccia from Il Lebbio, and the red is a 2008 chianti by Fratelli Grati. Both great values. Check them out at GlenRo in Monroe, CT or swing by your local wine shoppe. Enjoy, and as always, please drink responsibly. Larry gives us a nice review of the main brands of orange vodka, from entry level to top shelf. Did you know that one is actually made from 100% oranges? Try this in a martini, put in a shaker filled with ice, add in a healthy splash of cranberry, shake it until ice forms on the outside of the shaker (approx. 1 minute), pour into your martini glass with a lime twist. Great version of a cosmo, you will love it. Here’s a look at what Larry will review: 4 Orange; Burnett’s, Smirnoff, Svedka, Absolut, Three Olives, Orange V, Hangar 1, Triple Eight, Stoli O, Grey Goose, Belvedere, 70 vs. 80 proof, grain vs. potato (or oranges). Please drink responsibly, especially this stuff. Larry gives us a guided tour of the countless varieties of Dogfish Head beer, from the fruity to the mighty, check ‘em out. You may want to consider a tour of their brewery as well, Larry will give you a bit more information here. Enjoy, please drink responsibly. Chef Dave makes another visit to the GlenRo Shoppe, today he tries a 2008 Hogue Chardonnay and an ’07 Castle Rock Pinot Noir, both great values. Learn more here about how to judge white wine coloring, “straw vs. green”, as well as concepts about how oak flavoring is added to wine. Did you know they used oak “cubes”? Nor did I! Thanks for tuning in again everyone, if you frequent GlenRo, you may appear in this video. If you are way too far away, ask you local wine shop about these vinos. Please drink responsibly. Larry and Chef Dave taste a couple of wines from the 3000 B.C. winery, a Chenin Blanc (known as Vouvray in France) and a red blend of 56% Shiraz and 44% Cabernet Sauvignon.
