Hello, Feastlings.
Every wine has its place, to be sure- some belong in case stacks in big box stores, some in the spot where you buy a bottle and get a second one for a penny, but we favor the wines that have some thought put behind them, and some love and care and focus.
This week’s tasting, our end-of-the-month tasting, features small-production, hard-to-come-by wines made with that care and pride that make a bottle special, at least to us. Our pal Megan will be here with four wines whose style and quality shouts Wine Geek from the rooftops, and, it being the last Saturday of the month, we’ll be pouring heavy, pairing with food, and living it up. The tasting begins at 2:00 this Saturday, August 29th, it costs $55 plus tax and tip, and in our humble opinion, it’s worth a visit. If you’d like to attend, give us a jingle at (520) 326-9363 and let us know to pour you some tastes, cook you some food pairings, and save you a seat.
Think small, drink big.
