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
While the people of California are assuredly prideful over the Pinot Noir grown there, I don't think anyone would dispute the quality and beauty of Oregon terroir, and the quality and beauty with which it in turn imbues Pinot Noir.
This week's wine tasting features two reds and two whites from the northerly end of the Italian boot, and they're each excellent food wines. It turns out they're tasty to sip on their own as well, but we'll let you decide for yourselves how you'll best put them to use.
Gone are the days when the majority of wines from Chile and Argentina were strictly bargain bin plonk, and this tasting will offer you four reds- two from Argentina and two from Chile- who'll undoubtedly show you that firsthand.
Every now and again, we like to offer a smattering of wines from everyplace. Stylistically, the wines are everyplace: Old World, New World, red, white, crisp, rich- you name it, we'll be pouring it.
While the last Sunday of the month is usually the day we offer our higher-end wine tasting, we've consolidated our tastings this week, as we'll just be too busy getting ready for New Year's Eve to do our Last Sunday tasting. So on Saturday, December 30, we'll offer you our Last Sunday tasting on Saturday.
While New Year's Eve is sparkling wine's moment to shine, it's a great gift to bring to whatever holiday parties you've been invited to, and a nice reception wine before everyone's been seated for Christmas or Hannukah dinner.
Now that it's finally starting to feel like red wine weather, these big, rich Cabernets are just the thing to drink, and this spread ranges from a "Tuesday night bottle" to a "Friday night bottle" to a Special Occasion bottle.
