This Saturday’s wine tasting: The Priority is Priorat.
While Rioja is the name that people immediately recognize when it comes to Spanish wine, we at Feast are invariably fond of the wines of Priorat.

Past Wine
“…but please do WINE for me, Argentina.”
Your good friend Kevin is pulling corks on a range of Argentine wines this Saturday: of course, there'll be the two usual suspects- Torrontes and Malbec- and of course there'll be wine from Mendoza, but a couple of sub-appellations of Mendoza, plus Salta up north.
The whites you might not know
As our winter friends begin to drift back to their summer haunts and the day gets a teensy bit warmer, our thoughts turn to white wines- a little cleaner and lighter, a little lower alcohol so we can maybe have that afternoon glass when the thermometer hits 80° and not doze off before dinner's on the table.
In the Zona
If you couldn't join us for the dinner with Kent Callaghan and Todd Bostock on the 28th, don't believe you've missed the boat altogether tasting Arizona wines.
Arizona Wine Dinner with Todd Bostock of Dos Cabezas WineWorks and Kent Callaghan of Callaghan Vineyards
Dear Feastlings, When Spanish Jesuit missionaries came to Arizona in the 16th century, they planted grapes for their sacramental wine, and likely some for enjoyment as well. That said, as late as the 1980’s, 400 years hadn’t necessarily improved the quality available amongst Arizona wines too significantly. Long have wine aficionados turned up their figurative […]
Trust Your Importer- Brazos Wine Imports
Hello, Feastlings. This month’s Last Sunday tasting is here to show you the great strides that have been made in South American winemaking in recent years. Remember when all you could expect from that Chilean wine in the grocery store was that it wouldn’t break the bank and wouldn’t impress a soul? Those days are […]
Everything’s coming up Rosé
Dear Feastlings, This Saturday, as the weather takes one last dip into cooler temperatures before we ready ourselves for seven months of heat, Kevin pulls corks on four different pink wines from four disparate locales.You’re sure to be taken with one or another of them, and they all offer up a lot of refreshment without […]
The “Little Brothers”
This week, Kevin will be opening four "little brothers": wines which are either a winery's second label, or that come from the outskirts of an esteemed wine region, or whose style mimics that of a more substantial and prestigious wine, but which are every bit as much of a value.
Going Blanc- Chenin Blanc.
This week we visit a varietal that we pretty much universally agree here at Feast is tragically underappreciated: Chenin Blanc.
Italia!
It may be the Greeks who brought winemaking with them to the Roman Empire, but doggone it if the Romans didn't raise the bar. This Saturday, Kevin is opening bottles from some of the winemaking regions with which you're abundantly familiar, but also from spots you may not already know well.
