Dear Feastlings,
I’ve written to you before about Stephen Hagen- the guy who keeps his vineyards healthy through the meticulous use of tweezers and leaf blowers. Evidently, he’s willing to tolerate the separation anxiety long enough to come to Tucson and do a wine dinner with us. The wines are downright special, and we’re hoping you regard the food pairings as worthwhile as well. If you’d like to join us for five courses plus a little something sweet, now’s your chance: call us at 326-9363 (web and email reservations won’t hold you a place a the dinner) and we’ll make sure you get to meet Stephen, eat and drink remarkably well, and have an overall excellent time. What better way to spend the Ides of March? I can tell you this: it beats Julius Caesar’s day.
