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
Hello, Feastlings. I was just sitting with Kevin talking about this week’s wine tasting, and he was lamenting that people either damn Chardonnay with faint praise or outright ignore it these days. Trends are what they are, and Chardonnay isn’t the wine of the moment at this moment, but as it turns out, they can […]
Good day, Feastlings. While the first varietal to jump to mind when one suggests Italian white wine is invariably Pinot Grigio, we’re only too happy to remind you all that there’s a host of other delicious white varietals that hail from the Italian boot (and its surrounding islands.) This week, Kevin follows up his Forza […]
Good day, Feastlings. This week Kevin’s got some Italian wine for you, plus an Italian varietal that comes to us by way of Napa Valley (but that’s one of our favorites of all time.) By now, you probably know how this works, but for those of you new to the way of Feast’s Saturday wine […]
Good day, Feastlings. Let’s start by saying that this week we won’t be tasting local wines. As it happens, though, the varietals that grow best around here are those of the Mediterranean, so what better way to start familiarizing ourselves with the grapes that grow in our neighborhood than to taste a handful of wines […]
Hello, Feastlings. Hot on the heels of last week’s picnic red tasting comes another four wines for your picnic basket, this time white. Some drier, and some fruitier, there’ll be four food-friendly wines that beg for al fresco consumption. The tasting is the customary $10 plus tax and tip, and includes the customary nibbles. As […]
Hello, Feastlings. This week, Kevin will open up two wines from Spain, and two New World incarnations of Spanish varietals. The tasting is this Saturday, April 30th, at 2:00 pm. It’s only ten bucks plus tax and tip, the wines are fun and interesting and perfect for upcoming summer quaffing, and it’s easy to reserve […]
It’s nearly that time, everyone- time to dust off the picnic basket and bring a blanket and a snack to the great outdoors.So if you already have a loaf of bread and a favorite “thou” picked out, all you need is that jug of wine. This week, Kevin’s opening up some fresh, tasty red choices […]
Hello, Feastlings. This Saturday’s wine tasting is perfect for Springtime. Four Gewürztraminers will all be open for your inspection and delight, side by side. Kevin offers up a suitably “meta” title for the tasting, a self-referential, painful rhyme: the theme this week is “Gewürz ’til it hurts.” My only reply is, “that didn’t take long.” […]
Dear Feastlings, This week, Kevin’s opening wines that come from Tuscany and heads north from there. Not that the south doesn’t supply us with delicious wines, but we’ll have plenty of time this summer to investigate the sun-drenched wines of Puglia, and Sicily, and Taurasi. For now, let’s taste what Kevin’s calling “Thigh-high” wines. The […]
Hello, Feastlings. Every once in a while, we come to the end of a vintage- there might only be a few cases left of something delicious, and it’s anybody’s guess what the as yet unreleased vintage tastes like. Or now and again, there’s a winery who parts ways with a distributor. In either case, there […]
