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.
How lucky did we get? Winemaker and fascinating individual Randall Grahm will be joining us to talk about his wines and his universe quite soon. Details below. Bonny Doon Dinner with winemaker Randall Grahm Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at Feast at 6:30 pm Seared saffron spätzle with fava beans, beets, and sugar-poached blood […]
Good day to you, Feastlings. I know you all saw Sideways. I did too. And Miles had some reasoning behind his diatribes against Merlot: ten and fifteen years ago, there was a lot of insipid Merlot out there, and there still is. Still, Miles taught us all a nasty habit. Working at Feast, I can’t […]
Hello, wine-tasting buddies, Once in a while, those of us here in the sticks in Tucson merit a visit from City Folk. This weekend is one such instance. Sunday is of course our Last Sunday wine tasting, and this month, as part of our Trust Your Importer series, we’ll be featuring the wines of Dreyfus, […]
If I worked for an importer, I’d lean strongly toward Winebow. Ever since Feast opened, I’ve gone to the industry wine tastings, and year after year, when I go and taste hundreds of wines at a time, there’s a table at which I find myself shaking my head and wondering how I can like every […]
Greetings, Thanksgivers. Here’s an early note to let you know that if you and yours need a break from the Holiday mayhem, we’ll still be having our Last Sunday Wine Tasting here at Feast. A brief background: about two years ago, I went into a little restaurant in Tempe called Caffé Boa for lunch, and […]
Hello, Feastlings. Those of you who’ve been attending our monthly wine tastings for a while know that we have a Trust Your Importer Series. While we were considering Scoperta Imports, we realized that the wines of one of their wineries, Franco Serra, were such remarkable across-the-board values that it would be foolish not to dedicate […]
What ho, Wine Nerds, The last Sunday of the month is fast upon us, which means another wine tasting. This month’s theme: Pinot. Not necessarily only Pinot Noir, but Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier- heck, even Chardonnay (perhaps you were unaware that Chardonnay itself is a hybrid of Pinot and Gouais Blanc). Pinots have […]
Those of you who’ve been getting these emails or attending our wine tastings for a while will know that we do our best to remind you periodically that when one is faced with a mysterious bottle of wine about which one knows nothing, one must turn the bottle around and investigate who it is that […]
My Dear Kind Sippers, In an attempt to banish the impression that Sake is strictly for your sushi-related enjoyment, we’re hosting a tasting of downright poetic Sakes this Sunday, June 24th. Our friend and sometime wine explainer Valerie Verkerke will be here telling you what these tasty rice wines are all about, and you’ll be […]
Hello, Wine Sippers. If you’ve chatted with me about wines that I’m convinced are an excellent value, I’ve probably extolled to you the virtues of Spain. The thing about Spain is the wines are really reasonably priced for the quality you get. The other thing about Spain is that in your own tasting history, unless […]
