Dear Feastlings,
Ah, the holidays. You pulled out those fancy bottles, sure, to treat yourself and your loved ones for the holidays, but it’s also quite likely you’ve gone through some of those other bottles as well: the ones you open up when you know that they’re not wine people so you don’t want to bring out the pricey stuff, but you’re a wine person, so you need it to be something good enough that you want some, too. When there are friends and family in town, or when you don’t have time to pick something up on the way to the holiday party you should really bring something to, those are the bottles we find get depleted the quickest.
We pride our Saturday wine tastings on being chockablock with wines that don’t break the bank, but which will still please the discerning palate, so this week’s tasting is specifically built to replenish your supplies of wines that’s good enough you’d drink it yourself, but can afford to pour for your guests who’d be as happy to drink as they would to think (about wine, anyhow.)
Our pal Mike will be here with us this Saturday, January 17th, at 2:00 pm with four wines that are perfect cellar stuffers. Affordable enough to pull out when it’s not a special occasion, but of the quality that you’ve come to prefer- no more bottom shelf TJ’s wine for you, until you go to the house of one of those people who don’t care what they drink. You know how this works: give us a call at (520) 326-9363 and we’ll save you a seat at the tasting table, then come in on the 17th at 2:00 with $18 plus tax and tip in your pocket and you’ll find the delicious wine and camaraderie you’ve come to expect at Feast’s Saturday tastings. Hope you can join us.
