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 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 […]
Hello, Wine Tasters. This week, Kevin opens up bottles from Megan’s old stomping grounds, Sonoma, CA. While we’re all fans of some of the smaller, more out-of-the-way appellations, it’s important to remember that there’s a reason that Sonoma County is right up there with Napa as a premier wine-producing region in the United States. The […]
Hello, kind Feastlings. This Saturday, Kevin offers up Pinot Grigio (or Pinot Gris, depending on your accent.) Three of them hail from northern Italy, and one from Oregon, but most importantly, they’re all really good wine, especially for the price. The tasting begins this Saturday, June 6, at 2:00 pm, and there’ll be snacks besides. […]
Hi there, Feastlings. This Saturday’s tasting features wines that are all strange in one way or another. Mostly, they’re varietals you don’t see every day, though one is just a wine you’ve seen many times before with a nomenclature you’re not used to, and in a style you probably don’t see all that often either.
