Greetings!
Join us for a little bit of Irish flavor starting Friday, March 15th until Sunday, March 17th. Check out our selections of beer and wine as well as our deli cheese specials.
We will also have Cahill's Original Irish Porter Cheddar and their Original Irish Whiskey Cheddar on hand as well as Kerry Gold Dubliner Cheese available in our Deli.
Why not enjoy a glass of Mode Riesling with your Corned Beef and Cabbage (the sweetness helps to balance the tartness of the cabbage) or a bottle of Guinness Extra Stout. Another interesting thirst quencher is a Black Velvet, a combination of Guinness and Champagne. We will have both available in a handy kit.
Sincerely,
Ettienne Leibman

To many people, the astringent, grassy flavor of green tea is an acquired taste. However, green tea is a refreshing drink that has certain medicinal qualities that benefit everyone. In fact, there are countless health benefits associated with drinking green tea, including:
Boosts Metabolism
Green tea is rich in compounds that have been shown to increase metabolism, which is your body’s natural fat-burning mechanism. Although green tea has not been scientifically proven to actually reduce weight, researchers suspect that green tea’s compounds improve the body’s ability to burn off fat during exercise.
Improves Bone Health
One’s risk of osteoporosis increases with age. This common disease can cause bones to become as fragile and brittle as glass, and susceptible to fractures. There is growing evidence that green tea can strengthen bones and stave off the effects of osteoporosis. In fact, researchers in Hong Kong recently found a type of compound in green tea that seems to increase bone strength.
Improves Oral Health
In one well-known study, Japanese researchers surveyed 940 men who drank green tea on a regular basis. Their results showed that these men had much better oral health than those who drank less green tea. Green tea contains high levels of catechins, which are antioxidants with powerful antibacterial properties. Catechins go to work the second that the green tea hits your mouth, killing off the bacteria that cause plaque, gingivitis, and even bad breath.
We offer a wide variety of green teas from all over the world at Leibman’s. You’ll also find our shelves stocked with plenty of gourmet wines, condiments, chocolates, and other specialty foods perfect for filling a gift basket with or just buying for yourself.

For those without much experience, buying wine can feel overwhelming. However, the experience doesn’t have to be this way. Whether you are filling up a gift basket or looking for something special to have with dinner, there are a few simple tips to keep in mind when buying wine. These will ensure that the wine you by is an experience to taste and a joy to savor. Read on to learn more:
Choose Wine to Match the Food
One consideration that should be made when choosing a wine is the food that it is meant to be paired with. Different wines are made to go with different foods. The most basic rule of wine pairing is that white wines go with lighter foods like fish or salads, while red wines should be paired with heartier foods, like red meats. From there, pairings break down by the flavor of each wine. For example, grilled meats like burgers, steak, and ribs taste best with a peppery red wine like Zinfandel or Syrah. Sweet crustaceans like lobster or crab should be paired with an herbal white wine, like Vermentino.
Decide Based on the Store’s Recommendations
Often, the best person to turn to when trying to decide on a wine is the specialty wine store’s clerk or manager. He or she will be able to pinpoint the best wine based on your answers to a few simple questions, such as: What type of wine are you looking for? What is your price range? What kind of occasion is it? His or her opinion is invaluable, especially for the wine buying novice.
Buy What You Like
Whether you enjoyed a certain wine at a previous get-together or simply spot a wine bottle with a nice label, choose wine that you like and appreciate. If the wine is a gift, then choosing a bottle that you like will make the gift that much more special.
