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
Ask any northern Italian about the south and you'll get an eyeroll, most likely, and a dismissive gesture. In the South, they refer to the northerners as nordici, which really just means someone from the north, but the northerners call the southerners sudici, a double entendre that means not only "the southern ones," but also "the dirty ones."
You're all certainly aware that we change our menu each month, but to be honest, the wine list is in a more constant state of flux than the food menu is.
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?
Those of you who’ve lived in Tucson and been wine-centric folk for an extended period of time probably can’t help but know Andy Ramirez.
Twelve and a half years ago, a movie called Sideways was released, and the wine industry has still not fully recovered from it.
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.
