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. Kevin’s taking a breather this Saturday, so Doug will be waxing rhapsodic about the wines that are dear to his heart: four wines from Italy (three reds and a white that even red-drinkers will adore.) We’ll be following our normal protocols: the tasting is this Saturday, October 31, at 2:00 pm, it’s ten […]
Dear Feastlings, Though the past two days have been no indication, our meteorologist friends are predicting that by this Saturday’s wine tasting, temperatures will bounce back into the high 80’s and sunshine will abound. With this in mind, Kevin’s got crisp, clean whites out once more for your tasting pleasure. The tasting is this Saturday, […]
Hi, Feastlings, There’s a reason Napa has ensconced itself as one of the foremost wine-growing regions in the world: it produces excellent fruit. It’s also monumentally expensive. This week, Kevin reminds us that delicious wines come from elsewhere in California as well, and they don’t carry the Napa price tag. If you’d like to join […]
Dear Feastlings, As temperatures here have dropped precipitously (thank you, Universe,) Kevin reminds us that our friends in the Southern hemisphere are just now watching for budbreak. This Saturday, he pulls out four wines that were harvested in our Springtime, and you’re welcome and encouraged to come partake of them. How to go about it? […]
Dear Wine Tasters, This Saturday, Kevin offers up four wines from the Mediterranean, which, as it happens, is home to many of the varietals that grow quite happily here in Southern Arizona. Not that any of these wines are local- they’re the real deal from France and Sicily. If you feel like tasting them, give […]
Good Day, Feastlings. This week Kevin helps tease apart two light-bodied red varietals that have been confused with one another quite often over the course of decades. Whatever the history, though, the wines are delicious, light-bodied reds that are the harbingers of fall. Hooray for red wine, and hooray, more importantly, for the weather that […]
Hello, Feastlings. It may be rainy, but it hasn’t exactly cooled itself off out there just yet. With this in mind, this week Kevin pulls the corks on four interesting whites. Some richer and rounder, some cleaner and crisper, but all delish. The tasting is this Saturday, the 12th, at 2:00, and it’s only $10 […]
What is it about the culture of Feastlings? We have a wine tasting each week, but invariably, the most popular tastings, even though they’re a bit pricier (case in point: this week’s tasting is$15 rather than $10,)are the Pinot Noir tastings. This week promises to be no different, so if you’re thinking of joining us, […]
Dearest Feastlings, This week’s wine tasting is jam-packed with Chardonnays, which are in turn jam-packed themselves- with oak and butter. Just as political correctness has its backlash, so, too, does the backlash against butter and oak suffer its own resultant reprisal. So while we have nothing against Rajat Parr (and in fact carry his wines,) […]
Dear Feastlings, We like our Syrah around here. Truly, we’re fond of all the Rhône varietals. So this week, we have a particularly delightful bargain for the Saturday tasting. It’s a mite pricier than our usual $10 tasting, but it’s still a great value because the wines are disproportionately more expensive than usual. These are […]
