MORE AWARDS

BeerAdvocate.com has just published their "Top 10 Beer Bars" list. We've moved from #43 to #16. Thanks to everyone who helped bring Dilly Deli Cafe Wines & Gourmet's selection to their attention!

WINE SPECTATOR has informed us that we will be receiving a Spectator Award for our wine list! We do not yet know what level - but just being recognized by W.S. is a huge honor!

Some people already know that you can choose a bottle from the wine store and we'll open it for you in the restaurant - even with the $4.01 corkage fee its the best deal in town. Essentially the wine store selection has been put into list form to make it easier to find your favorite without getting up.

New Cheeses 5-25-06

Just got back from the Fancy Food Show and found some great new cheeses. Some are here, some are on the way. Those listed are in stock now. Some FFS finds, some are favorites back in stock:

*** SAVORY CHEESECAKES ***
Incredible find from the Fancy Food Show! Two women have launched a new business baking unbelievable appetizer cheesecakes. We have five flavors (some are in the reach in cheese case, thawed and ready to heat and serve - backups are kept frozen): gorgonzola pear [my personal favorite], red pepper Roquefort, smoked salmon and dill, mushroom fontina. Serves six to eight generously. We cut one last night and I think it will serve eight to ten for a small appetizer.
