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
When summer really gets going, we often find ourselves in the market for something a little less substantial; those wines that weigh in at 16% alcohol that supremely satisfied in the winter months have begun to hold less appeal. Now, we're reaching for clean, crisp, easy-drinking wines that pair well with sitting on the porch and watching the monsoons roll in.
This week's tasting features four wines that those of you who've been coming to the tastings will recognize, but you won't know what they taste like. Why? They're all brand new vintages.
Bonjour, Feastlings. With Bastille Day just around the corner, Kevin’s decided to open up four wines from France. You may recollect from history lessons that they helped us win the American Revolution, and what with Bastille Day being so close to our own Independence Day, we thought it fitting to remind everyone about the deliciousness […]
Many of you are aware of Kevin's fondness for wordplay, and of his even greater fondness of making me wince in pain at his wordplay. Today he triumphs by naming this Saturday's tasting: "Red, White and Rosé can you see," a tragically misguided attempt at blending a wine tasting with patriotism.
I'm not going to go on at great length about this, because, well, this tasting is already sold out. But just so you're aware, it's a red and a white Burgundy, each poured next to a New World counterpart. Let this be a lesson to you: the early bird gets the worm, and he who hesitates is lost.
While Napa justifiably lays claim to being the domestic home of Cabernet Sauvignon, there are a few reasons we don't all immediately reach for a Napa Cab when the time comes to open a bottle.
As I write this, it's 107 degrees outside, and so if you're anything like me, you're thinking about lightening it up right now, be it food or wine. This week, there's a light red and three refreshing whites that are perfect for your summer consumption, plus a pun that Kevin keeps in his back pocket- "A Pinot for your thoughts."
While last week's tasting was delightful, it was ultimately all red wine, with which there is nothing wrong. However, for some of us, red wine with beef isn't our go-to when it's 105 degrees out. With that in mind, here's a reminder that everything we throw on the grill isn't exactly red wine-friendly.
It's time to start practicing not heating up your kitchen, and that means outdoor grilling. Outdoor grilling, in turn, means wines that go with outdoor grilling.
This wine tasting features wines from the Veneto, and they include the whole spectrum: fresh bubbles, clean white and ripe, juicy reds. They all hail from the region of Veneto and with all the different styles, you'll undoubtedly be taken with some, if not all of them.
