Hello, Feastlings.
Every now and again, we get a guest from a faraway land here. Usually they breeze through and have dinner on their way to the Grand Canyon, or Los Angeles, or something that a visitor from Europe would want to investigate (you’d be surprised how many people come to see Death Valley.) But on a slightly rarer occasion, we’ll be graced with the presence of someone not only from someplace exciting, but who brings wine with them and can speak eloquently about the wine, the winery and the whole experience. The last time Lucia Ramos Perez was in town, she was showing us her wines and was about to have a baby. Now she’s a mom, and she’s back with four exceptional wines from Cune, or CVNE (Compañia Vinícola del Norte de España.)
We like the wines so much we made a separate course to go with each one, and dinner will be served on Wednesday, March 18, at 6:30 pm. It’s $75 plus tax and tip, and you’ll get a discount on the wines, and maybe Lucia will show you some baby pictures. We hope you can make it.
