Feast offers a wine tasting every Saturday, another on the last Sunday of each month, and occasional wine dinners. Subscribe to our email list and you'll be the first to know about all of them.
Dear Feastlings, Cabernet Sauvignon may always get top billing, but around here, we’re quite fond of Cabernet Franc, food-friendly as it is. This Saturday, Kevin will pull the corks on four different Cabernet Francs from four different places, varying in style from Old World to New World to somewhere in between. By now you probably […]
Hello, Feastlings. This week’s wine tasting brings you grapes that are unlikely bottlemates. While the Rhône and Bordeaux make for pretty straightforward blends of the traditional grapes of their respective regions, this week Kevin’s got bottles open that will leave you scratching your head as to who thought to combine these varietals, and in turn, […]
Dearest Feastlings, The word “Sauvignon” shares the root for the word “sauvage,” French for “savage” or “wild,” most likely because the grapes were first discovered growing wild. We may want to pause for a moment to express our thankfulness that the grapes (Sauvignon Blanc as well as Cabernet Sauvignon) were eventually cultivated and vinted, so […]
Hello, Feastlings, I hate to be the person to say this, but the wine tasting, as I write this, is nearly full already. Zinfandel started singing its siren’s song this past week as guests attended our Saturday and Sunday tastings, and there have been a few bottles lined up in the shop to indicate what’s […]
Hello, Feastlings. There are people we like. There are wines we like. Once in a while, there’s an overlap- someone we enjoy brings in wines that we consistently admire for their level of quality and value. Dario Soldan is one of those people, a smart, knowledgeable character who brings us wines that we’ve not seen […]
Dear Feastlings, While we offer an extremely broad spectrum of wines here at Feast, there’s one place we keep going back to over and over again. The wines of the Rhône Valley (and their cousins, the same varietals grown all over the globe) consistently offer food-friendliness and appeal to both those who aren’t aficionados but […]
Dear Feastlings, This Saturday, Kevin will be pulling out some fancier wines than he normally does. And that usually means we charge a bit more for the tasting than our normal $10. Usually. This Saturday, however, is Kevin’s thank-you note to you, the numerous wine tasters who’ve kept our tastings full all summer long. So […]
Hello, Feastlings. While most of us enjoy a high-end bottle of wine, the reality is that we often find ourselves constrained to drink wine that still allows us to pay, say, the electric bill, or the dentist. And there’s a boatload of low-priced wine out there, but there are $13 bottles that taste like $25 […]
Hello, Feastlings. This week, Kevin opens up four French bottles, all from the South, and crisp, fresh and white. When the mugginess of the monsoon season closes in on you, these wines are the perfect foil. The tasting is this Saturday, August 6, at 2:00 pm. Snacks come alongside these refreshing wines, and it’ll only […]
Hello, Feastlings. This Sunday, July 31, our Last Sunday tasting has us tasting wines from the Central Coast of California. Bob Leopardi joins us with wines that reflective of the trend in the region (and elsewhere) to make less-manipulated wines that express terroir, specifically the terroir of this nice warm wine region that’s ten degrees […]
