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
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.
Now that winter is here and it's a brisk 75 degrees, Kevin is pulling out the big, bold reds.
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.
It's only fitting that, the wine tasting coming at the tail end of the week, this week's wines come at the tail end of the meal.
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.
Regardless of how well the pun works, no wine is more versatile at your Christmas table than Grenache: Turkey? Check. Ham? You bet. Beef? Unquestionably. Root vegetables? Mmm hmm.
This Saturday's wine tasting will stray from our customary format and from our customary time
This week, Kevin's opening Italian wines from both North and South that are not only great accompaniments to your upcoming holiday meals, but delicious in and of themselves.
