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
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 […]
Hello, Feastlings. This Saturday, Kevin pulls the corks on some fresh, crisp Sauvignon Blancs that are perfect for summertime drinking. The tasting is Saturday, August 15 at 2:00 pm. Please make your reservation by phone at 326-9363, as web and email reservations will not hold you a place. $10 plus tax and gratuity. Summer and […]
Hello, Feastlings. While we do our best to remain seasonally appropriate, one can only drink so much crisp white and pink wine before needing to jog one’s memory of cooler times and heartier red wines. This week, Kevin reminds us that while you wouldn’t know it from where we stand in the northern hemisphere, it […]
Dear Feastlings, Some of us here at Feast love Pinot Noir; others find it unremarkable. There are Cabernet lovers, Muscadet lovers- every wine here has a cheerleader, but also a detractor. The exception? Well, we all love Rhônes. We love the reds. We love the whites. We love the Old World versions and their New […]
Hello, Feastlings. This Saturday’s tasting is not so much about specific wines as it is about how food and wine work together. As Kevin points out, there’s nothing wrong with the flavor of orange juice, nor with toothpaste, but together, they’re not so delicious. So this Saturday, you’ll taste Bertani “Velante” Pinot Grigio from Venezia […]
Buenos Días, Feastlings. This week Kevins pulls the corks of four Iberian whites; one from Portugal and the rest from Spain. They’re all excellent summer sipping, and since summer is unequivocally here, it’s only right that you come taste these wines and find out what’s most deserving of space in your refrigerator. The tasting, as […]
Hello, Feastlings, This week, Kevin breaks out the entire lineup of Line 39 wines, from the Cecchetti Wine Company. You’ll find a great price-to-quality ratio in the four tasty, varietally correct wines, all of which weigh in at only $9.00 a bottle, and that’s before the discount you get for coming to the tasting. Want […]
Hello, Feastlings. Every now and again, we interrupt our normal ten-dollar Saturday wine tasting to do something a bit fancier, and this is one of those weeks (so, incidentally, is next week.) Our theme this week features all Piedmontese wines, and more specifically, all Nebbiolo. As Nebbiolo isn’t the most economical grape to grow, it’s […]
