Chan's Wine World at Watercolor

Reliable sources tell me that Chan Wine World is coming to Watercolor - the old PJ's and Hot N' Cold locations - dining, retail and tastings. This should fill a real need and bring prices of wine and liquor down on 30A - although I will still travel to PCB and visit Doc (Carousel).

I think the only thing that is going to save me is that it is close enough to walk - so I can burn off some of the goodies getting to and from them!

Yes! I would suggest using the tunnel or sky bridge. :D

Went by twice today for cheeses samplings. The 5-year Gouda is one of the best things I've ever tasted!


5 Year Gouda is one of my favorites too! The Mediterranean Gouda is delish too!

I think we should invest in a zip line from the F-balcony.

Some of my favorites ( I have learned SO much about cheeses)
St Agur: A creamy bleu cheese that melts in your mouth
Aged Gouda: aged 2 years and has a buttery, nutty caramel flavor
Epoisse: A creamy and "stinky" cheese that I adore
Cambazola: another bleu which is tangier than St Agur
Piave: Much like a parmesan
Mobier: an ash veined washed rind cheese
Taleggio: an Italian cheese, soft washed rind somewhat salty and nutty
Cotswold cheddar: combines chives and garlic...great with red wine or beer

It is fun for me, as a chef, to have all the cheeses in our cheese counter at my disposal! I love coming up with special dishes which incorporate our cheeses and meats. Our Ultimate Cheese Panini will have cotswold, prima donna (much like the aged gouda, but softer)) and fontina cheese (an Italian cheese somewhat mild in flavor) I think it will be a favorite along 30A

There are so many others!
We do offer you to sample a cheese before you buy it, chanches are you will buy everything you sample :biggrin:

I can attest. I ended up with four the last time you let me sample. :wub:
You've mentioned a couple of my very favorites. Can't wait to get there and have some more. I know I could get them here somewhere, but they just don't taste quite as good here. ;-)

NEWS FLASH FROM CHAN'S WINE WORLD @ WATERCOLOR!!!
From your correspondent on the street... First to get to a keyboard and able to type!
Here's the latest....
....
Chan and general manager Tim seen tonight, appearing dismayed, speaking in hushed tones about hiring some bouncers due to turnout of SoWallers at the wine bar.... Loud wine glass toasts said to have attracted the attention of authorities responsible for enforcing noise ordinance in South Walton.... Boisterous revelry said to have been responsible for other wine tasters losing their wine "legs" in glasses, negatively impacting the tasting experience....
~~~~
Chef Allifunn triumphant, exhausted.... Ready for food service to begin Monday....
~~~~~
Golfer Annika said to be hosted tomorrow, likely to snarf cheeses with NBC execs..... Hope they leave some crottins (or, "goat droppings," as Mr TA says) for the rest of us.....
~~~~
Sean Peyton, in for cheeses earlier, alleged to be scared away by SoWal presence this evening, searching for fast food franchises said to be rampant in area ....
~~~~
Scoop THAT, Deborah Wheeler....

A funn party with great food and wine everywhere you turned - thanks Chan! Everyone seemed to be really impressed with the remodel and the atmosphere. Such a wonderful indoor/outdoor space that has been waiting for the right business.

A beautiful event on a beautiful night in SoWal! Chan's at WaterColor is impressive with a fantastic use of space, and absolutely gorgeous wine bar, cozy dining areas and incredible stocks of wines displayed on custom wood shelving throughout.

We have another outstanding pizza in the area. yummmmmmmmmmmm........ and many other delights to come - beginning Monday for lunch and dinner.

Time to go shopping for some wine and cheese. Don't forget to see Heather to sample some delicious cheeses.

She "sampled" us today with a gorgeous Gouda, and another cheese that tasted and looked like caramel. I am looking forward to some serious cheese tasting!
