Bold, Red and Ready!
Now that winter is here and it's a brisk 75 degrees, Kevin is pulling out the big, bold reds.
Each Saturday at 2:00 pm, we open four different wines and talk about them- where they come from, who makes them, and what makes them special. A couple of light hors d’oeuvres accompany the tasting and those who attend are eligible for discounts on the wines. Reservations are required, and web and email reservations will not guarantee you a seat, to please make your reservation by calling (520) 326-9363
Now that winter is here and it's a brisk 75 degrees, Kevin is pulling out the big, bold reds.
While the last Sunday of the month is usually the day we offer our higher-end wine tasting, we've consolidated our tastings this week, as we'll just be too busy getting ready for New Year's Eve to do our Last Sunday tasting. So on Saturday, December 30, we'll offer you our Last Sunday tasting on Saturday.
It's only fitting that, the wine tasting coming at the tail end of the week, this week's wines come at the tail end of the meal.
While New Year's Eve is sparkling wine's moment to shine, it's a great gift to bring to whatever holiday parties you've been invited to, and a nice reception wine before everyone's been seated for Christmas or Hannukah dinner.
Now that it's finally starting to feel like red wine weather, these big, rich Cabernets are just the thing to drink, and this spread ranges from a "Tuesday night bottle" to a "Friday night bottle" to a Special Occasion bottle.
Regardless of how well the pun works, no wine is more versatile at your Christmas table than Grenache: Turkey? Check. Ham? You bet. Beef? Unquestionably. Root vegetables? Mmm hmm.
This Saturday's wine tasting will stray from our customary format and from our customary time
This week, Kevin's opening Italian wines from both North and South that are not only great accompaniments to your upcoming holiday meals, but delicious in and of themselves.
Based on the number of calls we've already gotten about our Thanksgiving takeout menu, there are some planners among you, so it behooves you to consider what wines you might be pouring alongside your turkey and trimmings.
This Saturday, Kevin's tasting is as much about the glass as it is about what goes into it. Sure, there'll be four wines, and each will be prototypical, but ultimately, we're here to show you what a difference the glass makes.
