Thanks a million.
Based on the number of calls we've already gotten about our Thanksgiving takeout menu, there are some planners among you, so it behooves you to consider what wines you might be pouring alongside your turkey and trimmings.

Wine Dinner with Tom Kelly of Small Vineyards
Dear Feastlings, I meet with a dozen or more wine reps each week, and while the public perception is that it’s a glamorous job where people sip high-end wines with winemakers and chefs and bigwigs all day, I can tell you that it’s a wildly inaccurate perception. Being a wine rep means spending your day […]
The Glass Menagerie
This Saturday, Kevin's tasting is as much about the glass as it is about what goes into it. Sure, there'll be four wines, and each will be prototypical, but ultimately, we're here to show you what a difference the glass makes.
Trust Your Importer- Rosenthal
Every now and again, we get lucky. Each month, one of the clever and talented wine people of Tucson talks with us about some exciting wines they've brought, but once in a while, we get City Folk here.
Zinfully Decadent.
Nothing says fall quite the way Zinfandel does. Ripe, plump fruit and autumn spice welcome the cooler temperatures- assuming we eventually get cooler temperatures- in a warm, toasty, spicy way that no other wine will.
Day of the Dead wines
This week Kevin's got four wines for you to pour before, during and after your celebrations of el Día de los Muertos. Some are red, some are white, all spooky, all tasty.
Celebrare l’Italia
When I was just starting to get a handle on wine, early on in my foodslinging career, a waiter said to me, "California wine, learning about that, it's like going to college. French wine, that's like getting a Master's degree. But Italian? That's a Ph.D."
Wine dinner with Jeremy Fouquet of Maison Brotte
By now you're well aware of our penchant for Rhône wines around here, but many of you remain tragically unaware of our particular fondness for a certain producer from the region. That producer is Maison Brotte.
Shades of Grey
It's all Pinot Grigio, from four different locales. This tasting serves to remind you- to remind us all- that while there are plenty of iterations of Pinot Grigio that exist purely for the sake of the person who unthinkingly says to their server, "I'll have a glass of Pinot Grigio," not knowing who produces it and not caring, as it's most likely a safe bet, light and clean, but probably not worth discovering who produces it, there are also some really delicious Pinot Grigios.
Southern Stars
This week, we're celebrating the fact that the Monroe Doctrine had no effect on the importation of grapes and the subsequent populating of South American vineyards with European varietals. Kevin is opening up two wines from Chile and two from Argentina, all red for the impending cooler weather, and all delicious with food at their side.
