An old friend has come back to roost at Brick Street Market, Biale Black Chicken! We have not seen this wine in over a year because of the difficulties of getting it to the Midwest. We have a limited supply of this beautiful Zinfandel. The naming of Black Chicken goes back to an era of party line phones and the need to provide the Biale farm with a code word to add a clandestine bottle of the fine wine to the regular basket of farm goods. "Two dozen eggs, some zucchini, prunes, walnuts and a black chicken." The wine has survived for all of these years and is considered one of the top Zins in the world. Pair it with a big burger topped with Hook's Tilston Point Blue from Mineral Point, WI; and your palate will be amazed.

We have also obtained a couple of bottles of their newest wine, Royal Punishers a Petite Sirah, Rarely available except to insiders. This inky wine made of this beautiful grape has already earned a 95 point rating, This wine is on the edge of glory and we have it for you.
