Welcome Back to the Nansletter!

One of our favorite parts of fall is all the delicious drinks that come along with it...PSL, anyone? But outside of the traditional fall coffee obsession, there's also apple cider (of all kinds), cinnamon maple drinks, fall wines and more. This is your OFFICIAL guide to everything that will be on our fall drink menu and some of our favorite picks for fall beverages in our retail section. Are you ready? We are- so let's dive in!

Featured Products

Embark Craft Cider

What should you do with your weekend? Hmmm... we don't know. Maybe get a box of fried chicken and sides, take it down to the paaahk and have a 4-pack of Embark Ciderworks' new Apple Pie and Farmhouse Raspberry Ciders. Made by actual apple growing farmers in Williamson, New York. From the tree to the can to your belly. Sign us up!

Cookies Galore!

New seasons call for new retail items, and here are our new cookies for fall! We have something for everyone, from the Tate's White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies to the Milk Bar Pancake Cookies. So if you're in the mood for a classic bite filled with decadent macadamia nuts and sweet white chocolate chips, we've got you. But if you want something more reminiscent of chilly weekend mornings filled with warm pancakes doused in butter and maple syrup...we've also got you. Which one would you prefer?

Featured Menu Items

Nan’s Fall Drink Menu

A lot of you have been asking...and we have been diligently working. The Nan's fall coffee menu is upon us. And we hope y'all think it is worth the wait. This menu has traditional elements but at its core is meant to remind you of exactly where we are during this glorious time of year...apple country. We are using the local offerings that are so prominent at this time of year to bring you drinks that truly represent Stow. We hope you enjoy!
PS: We have something new coming TOMORROW to perfectly complement your fall beverage. It's a variation of our chia seed pudding: pumpkin spice with sweet pecans and coconut flakes. To. Die. For.

Wines of the Week

Our sommelier has chosen another batch of fall wines. You'll be sure to find your next favorite in this bunch: here we go!
Descriptions match up with wines from Left-Right! Special shoutout to our sommelier Chris for writing these and pulling this special selection.
1. Yannick Amirault's 'Cote 50' is a cuvee' of three organic vineyards in Bourgeuil, Loire Valley, France. The lauded Bourgeuil appellation is known for its forthright, supple, cheerful expressions of Cabernet Franc due to its sandy soils, and this bottling shows off its character in spades. Richly textured, deep and perfumed with notes of pomegranate, cherry, rose and spice, this guy is a charmer.
2. Meinklang is back with a crown-capped fresh-picked-off-the-vine blend of Zweigelt and St. Laurent grown on Biodynamically farmed sandy loam soils in Neiderosterreich, Austria. Foxy! Fruity! Lively! Juicy! Put a deep chill on it and watch this bottle slip away faster than you can say 'Neiderostrreich'
3. Brandborg, White Pinot Noir from Elkton, OR. White Pinot Noir? Yes. Instead of crushing, the grapes are harvested whole-cluster and soft-pressed before they are sent for an extended cool fermentation in new and old French oak barrels. The juice is then aged 'sur lies' (on its spent yeast) for a creamy, smooth mouthfeel. The soft press brings out all the delicate nuances of pinot noir: herbal tea, jasmine, bright cherry and white pear. Pair this with pan seared scallops!
4. Domaine Saint-Cyr, 'La Galoche', Beaujolais. Yes summer is gone, but that's okay 'cuz its Beaujolais time! I'll be bringing in waves of amazing BoJo because that's what fall is all about. Light, bright, crunchy-fruited, easy to drink, and pairs with anything you're eating right about now. Cool clay and limestone soils bring out a shining acidity and cool pomegranate & violet tones in this picnic-ready crusher!
