	Food & Wine   Callos y Padrónes Fritos with Hidalgo-La Gitana Manzanilla   Drawing on the celebrated Casqueria cuisine from southwest Spain where fried foods and lesser cuts of meat reign, Paul has created a delectable dish with local sensibility. Highlighting tripe fried to golden-perfection, with it's crunchy and creamy textures, it's tossed with fried Padrón peppers in the height of their season and served with a spicy Early Girl tomato sauce.  Gerard couldn't think of a more delightful drink to serve with this dish than our Hidalgo-La Gitana Manzanilla Sherry. It's smooth savory and salty notes provide a great enhancement to the tripe.

Tart red fruit, rich sweet malt and balsamic flavors dominate.  Hailing from the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium, Flemish Red Ales are a delicious introduction to the wide world of sour, tart and funky beer. To produce these beers, brewers typically take a fresh, sweet beer and age in oak for two years.  Over this time, the wild yeasts and bacteria present in the pores of the wood create a secondary fermentation, resulting in a sour, vinous final product. This tart beer is then blended back in with the fresh, sweet beer, ending with a nicely balanced brew. Monk's Cafe Flemish Sour Ale | 14 oz. | 5.5% ABV | $9 Bodega     Coffee Provisions   Have you been wanting to step your "home-brew" game up?
