Halloween Weekend at The Golden Lion!

It's Here! The Weekend! Join us for steel drum grooves by Kelvin Hart on Friday Night and live reggae by Zebbhi Niyah on Saturday night. Halloween Costume Contest registration begins at 8:30 pm, along with our Limbo contest! How low can you go?

As if a costume party and Full Moon Luau aren't enough to make Saturday night special, we are also holding an Agavero promotion! Join us for samples, raffles, and giveaways all night long!

Agavero Tequila Liqueur is bottled at Los Camachines Distillery in Jalisco, Mexico where the Blue Agave plant is grown. This officially designated region includes the state of Jalisco, parts of adjoining states and the town of Tequila for which the spirit is named.

The master distiller begins the process by hand blending his own select 100% Blue Agave Reposado and Anejo Tequilas that have been separately aged in specially charred, white oak casks. The Reposado Tequila is aged for nearly a year and the Anejo Tequila no less than two years. The Tequila blend is then hand blended with Agavero's secret ingredient, the essence of Damiana Flower, a flower indigenous to the hot mountains of Jalisco. Throughout history, Damiana has also been rumored to stir up the emotions of individuals. Agavero's unique and wonderful combination offers a scintillating aroma for the nose transcended only by the rich and flavorful character for the palate.

Try it this weekend on its own, over ice with an orange wedge, or try a Harvest Moon.

Harvest Moon
1 1/2 oz Agavero® tequila
1/2 oz triple sec
orange juice
pineapple juice
grenadine

Pour over ice using equal amounts of orange juice and pineapple juice. Stir in a little grenadine.

Congratulations to our own Mark Woods for his appearance last week in the Daytona Beach News Journal. Check out the article about this "local character" online.

Local character hones his bartending skills

By KARI COBHAM
Staff Writer

FLAGLER BEACH -- Thirteen years ago, Mark Woods came to visit and never left.

On a mental break from life as a counselor at a Missouri juvenile detention center, Woods landed at his parents' pad to figure things out. And that's when the beach called.

"That was kind of a crossroads," said Woods, 37, now a bartender at the Golden Lion Cafe on State Road A1A.

Woods -- also called "Tikitender" from his tiki hut-serving days at a local resort -- is known for wearing kilts ("They're very comfy; I recommend every man tries one.") and for his red goatee and easygoing grin.

10 Facts About Beaujolais Nouveau

1. Beaujolais [BOE-zjoh-lay] Nouveau is always released the third Thursday of November, regardless of the start of the harvest.

2. The region of Beaujolais is 34 miles long from north to south and 7 to 9 miles wide. There are nearly 4,000 grape growers who make their living in this picturesque region just north of France's third largest city, Lyon.

3. All the grapes in the Beaujolais region must be picked by hand. These are the only vineyards, along with Champagne, where hand harvesting is mandatory.
Find Beaujolais Nouveau:
- Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau
- Collin-Bourisset Beaujolais Nouveau
- More Beaujolais Nouveau Producers

4. Gamay (Gamay noir Jus Blanc) is the only grape permitted for Beaujolais. While certain California wineries may label their wine "Gamay Beaujolais" this is not the same grape variety as what is grown in France, and is quite different in taste and growing habits.

5. Beaujolais Nouveau cannot be made from grapes grown in the 10 crus (great growths) of Beaujolais-only from grapes coming from the appellations of Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages.

6. Beaujolais Nouveau owes its easy drinkability to a winemaking process called carbonic maceration, also called whole berry fermentation. This technique preserves the fresh, fruity quality of the wine, without extracting bitter tannins from the grape skins.

7. Beaujolais Nouveau is meant to be drunk young-in average vintages it should be consumed by the following May after its release. However, in excellent vintages (such as 2000) the wine can live much longer and can be enjoyed until the next harvest rolls around.

8. Serve Beaujolais Nouveau slightly cool, at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit-the wine is more refreshing and its forward fruit more apparent than if you serve it at room temperature.

9. Approximately 1/3 of the entire crop of the Beaujolais region is sold as Beaujolais Nouveau.

10. The region of Beaujolais is known for its fabulous food. The famed Paul Bocuse Restaurant is just minutes from the heart of Beaujolais, as is Georges Blanc's eponymous culinary temple. These great restaurants have plenty of Beaujolais on their wine lists. This quintessential food wine goes well with either haute cuisine or Tuesday night's meat loaf.
