Dear Feastlings,
When you’ve been around for a while, you can’t help yourself: you remember what things used to cost. And as much as inflation has slowed, you don’t often see any prices moving backward. Each vintage of wine creeps up a dollar or two, or five, or more, especially those who have to make it first across an ocean and then across a country to arrive here. We wince each time a new vintage is released as it edges its way out of a comfortable price point. Values, however, remain to be found, and this week, or pal Jennifer will be with us pouring Bordeaux after Bordeaux (okay, and a Côtes du Rhône) whose price has remained beyond fair for its quality. It’s the perfect opportunity to renew your faith in affordable yet delicious- or delicious yet affordable- French wine.
At 2:00 this Saturday, March 16th, you’ll be able to taste these winners and put a few bottles aside for your near-future enjoyment. Ring us up at (520) 326-9363 and let us know you’ll be joining us and we’ll save you some wine and a ringside seat for the afternoon’s serious French values. It’s $18 plus tax and tip, and well worth it for the experience, the knowledge, the camaraderie and the discount.
