Tasting Notes: Coalition Sauternes Barriques Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey.Opened in May 2003, Barriques in Middleton is located just off University Avenue on Cayuga Street. Our visitor struck a great balance between telling stories and teaching us a bit about the grapes and the wines. This was our third wine tasting event and it was the best so far.
$40 for the event and the four bottles really seems like a big bargain. I was surprised how fun this was and would definitely do it again.

Barriques Monroe St offers a wide selection of wine, spirits and beer as well as a full coffee and espresso bar serving up our fantastic. Our original location opened in Nov 1998. Order Ahead for In-Store Pickup OR Delivery. Â And the best part, although it did remind me of being in Paris, when we left I wasn't actually there, and that's alright by me.Hours: Mon-Sat: 6:30am - 7pm, Sun 7am - 6pm.
 But we will definitely return, probably to give lunch a try.  Honestly I enjoyed myself more before the decibel level went waaaay up, and I can't give five stars because although it was great, it was not a complete knockout.  Dessert - Apricot Almond Tart - perfect for two, the wife hit the nail on the head when she said "its like a wonderful, gooey, breakfast treat!"Ĭonclusion:  The wife and I really enjoyed Cafe Touche and left a few pounds heavier, and wallet justifiably lighter, as the food was both superb quality and portion.  And the burger.was almost too big for me to finish!  Juicy without being messy, in a lite dressing that brought out the flavor of the meat very well.  The wife's entree was just scrumptious, tender, juicy beef with tasty gratin potatoes.  Entrees - Beef Bourguignon for the wife, and the Touche Burger for me (don't laugh too hard, yes, I got a burger).  Soup Du Jour - Split pea - flavorful, more liquid than creamy, and since I'm a dipper, that bread went right in. The grub:  The bread, the bread, the bread.did I mention the fantastic warm baguette that is brought out?  Apps - Assiette De Fromage - that's a platter o' cheese and stuff for us non French speakers - three types of cheeses with some almonds, dried apricot, grapes, and an apricot jelly and some assorted crackers, all which was great except I could have used some more crackers for the cheese as they only gave about five crackers.  The whole place goes from a romantic Parisian cafe atmosphere to you screaming at your date to see if she likes her food, or in my case me screaming at the wife "are you gonna finish that?"   The real only negatives were that once the restaurant fills up, it is incredibly loud in there.
 The service was very good, bringing refills, checking on us and clearing plates and.bringing more bread!!!!  Oh man that bread.mmmmmmmm.  Having never been here before, I was really struck but how inviting the decor was upon entering, and how much it really did remind me of when the wife and I were in Paris, the high ornamental ceiling, the small intimate tables (which also can be tricky to have all your food on), but what made me an instant fan was the Christmas Story "major award" lamp sitting on the bar yes, I was sold.  Situated in the bustling little restaurant corridor of Edison Park on Northwest Highway, I was thrilled to find street parking a few doors down from Cafe Touche on a Saturday night. The story:  I don't know what's wrong with me, but I voluntarily suggested and took the wife to a French restaurant, and frankly I'm starting to worry about myself.  Reasonable prices, good service, great ambiance, but very very loud inside.  Left Cafe Touche wishing we had elastic pants because we were so full of yummy goodness.
