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
Hello, Feastlings. This week, Kevin will open up two wines from Spain, and two New World incarnations of Spanish varietals. The tasting is this Saturday, April 30th, at 2:00 pm. It’s only ten bucks plus tax and tip, the wines are fun and interesting and perfect for upcoming summer quaffing, and it’s easy to reserve […]
It’s nearly that time, everyone- time to dust off the picnic basket and bring a blanket and a snack to the great outdoors.So if you already have a loaf of bread and a favorite “thou” picked out, all you need is that jug of wine. This week, Kevin’s opening up some fresh, tasty red choices […]
Hello, Feastlings. This Saturday’s wine tasting is perfect for Springtime. Four Gewürztraminers will all be open for your inspection and delight, side by side. Kevin offers up a suitably “meta” title for the tasting, a self-referential, painful rhyme: the theme this week is “Gewürz ’til it hurts.” My only reply is, “that didn’t take long.” […]
Dear Feastlings, This week, Kevin’s opening wines that come from Tuscany and heads north from there. Not that the south doesn’t supply us with delicious wines, but we’ll have plenty of time this summer to investigate the sun-drenched wines of Puglia, and Sicily, and Taurasi. For now, let’s taste what Kevin’s calling “Thigh-high” wines. The […]
Hello, Feastlings. Every once in a while, we come to the end of a vintage- there might only be a few cases left of something delicious, and it’s anybody’s guess what the as yet unreleased vintage tastes like. Or now and again, there’s a winery who parts ways with a distributor. In either case, there […]
Hi ho, Feastlings. The warm weather is nearly upon us, and that, wine drinkers, means it’s time to think about stocking the fridge with crisp, clean white wines. You can see in our list that we’re committed to it, if evidenced only by the fact that we have four- count ’em, four- iterations of Melon […]
Hello, Wine Tasters. Spain gets the lion’s share of attention when people talk about wine from the Iberian Peninsula, but let’s not forget that there’s more to Portugal than Tawny. To help you remember, or perhaps taste for the first time, some of the other wines you can find that hail from Portugal, Kevin will […]
Hello, Feastlings. Yes, when someone says “Pinot,” we’re inclined to assume that it’s Pinot Noir we’re all talking about. But there’s also Pinot Blanc, and there’s Pinot Gris, and even (yes, this is a thing) Pinot Chardonnay. Everyone’s pal Kevin will be opening up four different wines, each of which is a different varietal, but […]
Hello, Feastlings. This Saturday’s tasting is dedicated to wineries nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, that mountain range that makes a handy division between France and Spain. There’ll be two wines from either side, all red, and each quite tasty in its own right. If you’d like to join us, pick up the phone […]
Hello, Feastlings. This week Kevin brings us wines that we don’t often see. Sure you’ve tasted some of these varietals before- who hasn’t tried a Pinot Grigio (that’s what Sivi Pinot is, after all) or Sauvignon Blanc? Nonetheless, we’re guessing the last Pinot Grigio you tasted didn’t hail from Vipavska Dolina, and your last glass […]
