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
Dearest Feastlings, The word “Sauvignon” shares the root for the word “sauvage,” French for “savage” or “wild,” most likely because the grapes were first discovered growing wild. We may want to pause for a moment to express our thankfulness that the grapes (Sauvignon Blanc as well as Cabernet Sauvignon) were eventually cultivated and vinted, so […]
Hello, Feastlings, I hate to be the person to say this, but the wine tasting, as I write this, is nearly full already. Zinfandel started singing its siren’s song this past week as guests attended our Saturday and Sunday tastings, and there have been a few bottles lined up in the shop to indicate what’s […]
Dear Feastlings, While we offer an extremely broad spectrum of wines here at Feast, there’s one place we keep going back to over and over again. The wines of the Rhône Valley (and their cousins, the same varietals grown all over the globe) consistently offer food-friendliness and appeal to both those who aren’t aficionados but […]
Dear Feastlings, This Saturday, Kevin will be pulling out some fancier wines than he normally does. And that usually means we charge a bit more for the tasting than our normal $10. Usually. This Saturday, however, is Kevin’s thank-you note to you, the numerous wine tasters who’ve kept our tastings full all summer long. So […]
Hello, Feastlings. While most of us enjoy a high-end bottle of wine, the reality is that we often find ourselves constrained to drink wine that still allows us to pay, say, the electric bill, or the dentist. And there’s a boatload of low-priced wine out there, but there are $13 bottles that taste like $25 […]
Hello, Feastlings. This week, Kevin opens up four French bottles, all from the South, and crisp, fresh and white. When the mugginess of the monsoon season closes in on you, these wines are the perfect foil. The tasting is this Saturday, August 6, at 2:00 pm. Snacks come alongside these refreshing wines, and it’ll only […]
Hello, Feastlings. This Sunday, July 31, our Last Sunday tasting has us tasting wines from the Central Coast of California. Bob Leopardi joins us with wines that reflective of the trend in the region (and elsewhere) to make less-manipulated wines that express terroir, specifically the terroir of this nice warm wine region that’s ten degrees […]
Dear Feastlings, While we do love our Pinot Noir here, we’re also keen to remember that it’s a grape with brothers and sisters, cousins and aunts and uncles. So this week, we’ll taste not only a Pinot Noir, but a Sivi Pinot, a Pinot Blanc and a Pinot Meunier as well. It’ll be a delightful […]
Hello, Feastlings. One of our points of pride here at Feast is that you’re bound to taste wines here that you’ve most likely not tasted yesterday, or, in fact, at all. This week, Kevin opens four such wines: when’s the last time you tried a Seyval Blanc blended with Cayuga? A Trousseau Gris or a […]
Good day, Enfants de la Patrie. This Saturday, Kevin uncorks three Burgundies (a Beaujolais, a Santenay and a Chalonnaise) plus a domestic Pinot Noir. The tasting is a bit pricier than usual- $15 plus tax and tip as opposed to the usual $10- but the wines make this tasting worth every penny. The tasting is […]
