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.
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 […]
Dear Feastlings, Twenty-six years ago, when I found myself in Florence (Italy, not Arizona), unable to get a work permit, I enrolled myself in a language school in hopes of not only learning Italian, but sticking around until I could qualify for a permit. While the permit never came, school was fantastic, and among my […]
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 […]
Buon Giorno, Feastlings. Wednesday, July 15th, Margot Hoffar of Fontanafredda Winery will be here with us pouring delicious Piedmontese wines for which we’ve concocted a tasty menu. The dinner costs $60 plus tax and gratuity, and the company, food and drink all promise to be delightful. The only caveat: web and email reservations won’t hold […]
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 […]
Happy Birthday to our country, Feastlings. This month, Mike Galkin joins us from Action Wine with six American wines in tow, from either coast- Independent American wines for American Independence Day. You may well pour some of these for your cookout, assuming you have the gumption to brave the outdoors next weekend. This weekend, however, […]
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. […]
