Don't be a square. Get ready to taste l'hexagone! Come to the Goose this Thursday evening, July 28th, 5:30-7:30pm, when we're taking over the Enoteca for our version of the Tour de France. You don't need a bike for this one. We'll provide the glass and you bring your appetite, then meander around the Enoteca's tasting stations as you like for a delicious tour of France, featuring...

Six French Wines
After a few sips of these bubbles, roses, whites and reds, your beret never looked so lovely. Among the many bottles we can't wait to pour maintenant are the bubbles of Deligeroy Cremant de Loire and Château Andron from the Medoc. If you'd like to take bottles home, they begin at $11.75 (but taste like a million francs...er, euro).

French cider and cheese pairing
Etienne Dupont bottle ferments vintage ciders with a different blend of their 13 apples each year. The chalky soil in the vineyard makes for small apples with more skin to pulp for a tannic, dry cider with amazing flavor and persistent bubbles. We've paired the cider with Cabecou Feuille D'Armagnac, a Perigord goat cheese dipped in plum Armagnac, dusted with a little ground black pepper and wrapped chestnut leaves.

A French-inspired tasting menu
The Enoteca will be scattered with dishes we're preparing in house to pair with the bottles flowing that night. The grill will be fired up outside (but we'll be cool as a concombre in the cellar) and we're blending the rich pate now. The menu is a little French and a little Goose, bien sûr.

Adieu for now but not for long...
No need to RSVP or make reservations.

Vinyl Vibrations & Libations: get in the groove the Third Thursday of each month

This Thursday evening--July 21st, 6-8pm--the Enoteca will be cool in so many ways. From an underground cool that's the polar opposite of the fried egg on the sidewalk outside, we'll be pouring icy cool White Sangria (like only the Goose can make) to go along with the coolest Vinyl Club since Tommy and the phonograph.

The Third Thursday of every month--so next up: Thursday, July 21st, 6-8pm--we're pulling our sweet spinner out from behind the Enoteca's bar for you and your record collection to take over. To go with all those vinyl vibrations, we're offering a different lively libation each time. This Thursday it's our White Sangria spiked with citrus, peaches, and ginger. The Goose and Yelp invite you to get cool and get in the groove!
