Feast offers a wine tasting every Saturday, another on the last Sunday of each month, and occasional wine dinners. Subscribe to our email list and you'll be the first to know about all of them.
As wine lovers, we're often forced to choose a style or a winemaking tradition- we can only consume so much, so it behooves us to pick a style we like, whether it's the wine we want to accompany a particular dish, or whether it's our own "house preference."
Sometimes we all feel like it's just us against the world, and this month, at our tasting at least, it's Baja, Mexico's turn. Fortunately for Baja, we think you'll agree that Baja fares pretty well.
Ask any northern Italian about the south and you'll get an eyeroll, most likely, and a dismissive gesture. In the South, they refer to the northerners as nordici, which really just means someone from the north, but the northerners call the southerners sudici, a double entendre that means not only "the southern ones," but also "the dirty ones."
You're all certainly aware that we change our menu each month, but to be honest, the wine list is in a more constant state of flux than the food menu is.
Valentine's Day is as often as not an excuse to drink Rosé wine, but quite frankly, we at Feast are fans of the pink stuff year-round. So whether it's finding something you want in your fridge for next week, or discovering what's going to own some of your valuable refrigerator real estate all summer long, this Saturday is the time to acquaint yourself with four tasty Rosés.
This week, Kevin pulls the corks on four hale and hearty reds from a significant breadth of wine-producing regions. Why not taste how big hearty reds both differ and mirror one another at this week's tasting?
A few months ago, Robin Gerber came through town. She's one of the founding partners of Spotlight brands, who represents some of the most prestigious wineries in California, and while some of the brands they represent come at the price that notoriety commands, some of them are still under the proverbial radar and are consequently a particularly excellent value.
Occasionally, we get the opportunity to put together a dinner with exceptional wines, and occasionally we get the opportunity do so with a knowledgeable sort. And once in a while, we get to do one where the wines are exceptional values. And sometimes, all three qualities intersect in one dinner.
