Each Saturday at 2:00 pm, we open four different wines and talk about them- where they come from, who makes them, and what makes them special. A couple of light hors d’oeuvres accompany the tasting and those who attend are eligible for discounts on the wines. Reservations are required, and web and email reservations will not guarantee you a seat, to please make your reservation by calling (520) 326-9363
Valentine's Day is as often as not an excuse to drink Rosé wine, but quite frankly, we at Feast are fans of the pink stuff year-round. So whether it's finding something you want in your fridge for next week, or discovering what's going to own some of your valuable refrigerator real estate all summer long, this Saturday is the time to acquaint yourself with four tasty Rosés.
This week, Kevin pulls the corks on four hale and hearty reds from a significant breadth of wine-producing regions. Why not taste how big hearty reds both differ and mirror one another at this week's tasting?
I was asking Kevin what the theme of next Saturday's wine tasting will be (there's no tasting on New Year's Eve, as we imagine many of you have bigger fish to fry that day, and we know we'll be getting ready for our own big night) and he told me it would be "Life is a Cabernet."
At the end of the proverbial day, we're Tucsonans. So I get that it's 78 degrees outside, but since our experience of winter is limited, once the mercury dips below 80°, we're inclined to reach for bigger, redder wines.
I don't know why it's so difficult for us to convince our guests that sparkling wine, while it's great for a special occasion, is also good for all seasons. We at Feast love it year round.
If there's a varietal that the staff agrees on here, it's got to be Grenache. Good with food, good by its lonesome- some are light enough for lighter dishes, but some are gutsy enough for double cream cheeses and red meat.
If you're at your saturation point with family and a little bit of tippling is in order to grease the wheels of diplomacy, it may not hurt to show up for our wine tasting this Saturday. This week Kevin's got four bottles open that don't necessarily have anything in common stylistically, but there's one key common point: they're all on sale.
This week, Kevin will be opening up four wines suitable for your Thanksgiving needs. A couple of them are crowd pleasers, wines with a nice broad audience that are sure to appeal to the entire extended family, and/or all your Thanksgiving friends.
