In case you did not know...
We have beer!! Though our selection is small, with direction and suggestions, we are slowly increasing our beer selection. We, of course, offer Farmville's own Duck Rabbit Brewery, but we also have North Carolina's Highland Gaelic Ale and Cottonwood Low Down Brown Ale. Besides our wonderful North Carolina brewed beers, we also carry varieties of Chimay, Dogfish Head, Flying Dog and Efes. Our latest addition to the beer selection is Red Seal from California. These are definitely must tries! If you have a certain beer that you would like us to get in, let us know. That is why we are here!

You say "Syrah," I say "Shiraz"
None-the-less, the grapes are the same. Syrah is typically the French version while Shiraz hails from South Africa and Australia. Shiraz is typically a medium to full bodied wine with hints of spice. Shiraz is great for grilled meats or veggies, wild game, richly flavored red meats, beef stew and meat lover's pizza. Our newest Shiraz is Mad Fish out of Western Australia and it is just divine...smooth and not too spicy. Any red wine drinker would appreciate this bottle!

A couple of dazzling whites...
When we first tasted the La Soeur Cadette 2008 Bourgogne Chardonnay, we were completely blown away by its creamy, perfectly balanced flavors. This is one of the most impressive Chardonnay's that we have in the shop. Our second new white is Seven Daughters, which contains seven different varietals of grapes. This is a perfect wine to drink by itself with a room full of friends.
Though the weather is chilly and you might want to lean towards the red wines, you can not go wrong with these two wonderful new additions to MyleStone.

Year of the Malbec
The Malbec varietal orginated in France, but is primarily used as a blending grape there. However, in Argentina and Chile, the Malbec grape has flourished and shines by itself. We are quite partial to Malbecs because they tend to be medium to full-bodied wines that are fruity and juicy. We have two new Malbecs, both from Mendoza, Argentina. The first is Budini and it is very fruit forward and juicy. At the other end of the spectrum, we have Decero which has the fruity, juicy qualities of the Malbec grape but has more developed tannins from 16 months in French Oak. We have also added a Tempranillo/Malbec blend, 2 Copas, from Argentina. This lovely wine has the earthy flavors of the Tempranillo varietal but the fruity and juicy highlights of the Malbec varietal. 2 Copas is Spanish for 2 wine glasses...never drink alone! Malbecs are great to drink by themselves or pair wonderfully with red meat dishes, especially Italian dishes with tomato sauces, mmmmmmmm!
