Dear Feastlings,
The conundrum we Tucsonans often face is that we’re indisputably in the mood for red wine, but it’s already in the mid-90’s, with promises of triple-digit weather mere days away. We propose a solution- four solutions, really- to that problem. On Saturday, we’ll pull the corks on four red wines that deserve a spot in your cellar, and possibly even in your refrigerator. Maybe you’ve met him before, but you haven’t met him here- our pal Bryan Eichhorst from Good Omens will be here this Saturday, June 10, with a few bottles that we’ve not heretofore had the pleasure of knowing. But they’re full of summertimey goodness.
The tasting begins at 2:00 pm, with your Saturday buddies tasting fresh reds and shooting the breeze with Bryan and Cory about how suitable these wines are for your summer table. Give us a buzz at (520) 326-9363 and we’ll save you a seat. Then show up on the 10th with $15 plus tax and tip, and we’ll do the rest. Hope you can make it.
