The Glass Menagerie
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.

Past Wine
Trust Your Importer- Rosenthal
Every now and again, we get lucky. Each month, one of the clever and talented wine people of Tucson talks with us about some exciting wines they've brought, but once in a while, we get City Folk here.
Zinfully Decadent.
Nothing says fall quite the way Zinfandel does. Ripe, plump fruit and autumn spice welcome the cooler temperatures- assuming we eventually get cooler temperatures- in a warm, toasty, spicy way that no other wine will.
Day of the Dead wines
This week Kevin's got four wines for you to pour before, during and after your celebrations of el Día de los Muertos. Some are red, some are white, all spooky, all tasty.
Celebrare l’Italia
When I was just starting to get a handle on wine, early on in my foodslinging career, a waiter said to me, "California wine, learning about that, it's like going to college. French wine, that's like getting a Master's degree. But Italian? That's a Ph.D."
Wine dinner with Jeremy Fouquet of Maison Brotte
By now you're well aware of our penchant for Rhône wines around here, but many of you remain tragically unaware of our particular fondness for a certain producer from the region. That producer is Maison Brotte.
Shades of Grey
It's all Pinot Grigio, from four different locales. This tasting serves to remind you- to remind us all- that while there are plenty of iterations of Pinot Grigio that exist purely for the sake of the person who unthinkingly says to their server, "I'll have a glass of Pinot Grigio," not knowing who produces it and not caring, as it's most likely a safe bet, light and clean, but probably not worth discovering who produces it, there are also some really delicious Pinot Grigios.
Southern Stars
This week, we're celebrating the fact that the Monroe Doctrine had no effect on the importation of grapes and the subsequent populating of South American vineyards with European varietals. Kevin is opening up two wines from Chile and two from Argentina, all red for the impending cooler weather, and all delicious with food at their side.
Alpine Wine
Our good friend and former dining room manager Dylan Higgins graces us this month with his presence at a tasting of wines among the pines. Arizona might be one of the states in the Four Corners, but for our money, the spot where Italy, Austria and Slovenia converge makes for better wine production.
Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aine
Once in a while, a producer makes such delicious wines across the board that we like to feature them in a tasting with no interference from the outside world. Paul Jaboulet Aine is one such producer.
