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.
Greetings, Thanksgivers. Here’s an early note to let you know that if you and yours need a break from the Holiday mayhem, we’ll still be having our Last Sunday Wine Tasting here at Feast. A brief background: about two years ago, I went into a little restaurant in Tempe called Caffé Boa for lunch, and […]
Hello, Feastlings. Those of you who’ve been attending our monthly wine tastings for a while know that we have a Trust Your Importer Series. While we were considering Scoperta Imports, we realized that the wines of one of their wineries, Franco Serra, were such remarkable across-the-board values that it would be foolish not to dedicate […]
What ho, Wine Nerds, The last Sunday of the month is fast upon us, which means another wine tasting. This month’s theme: Pinot. Not necessarily only Pinot Noir, but Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier- heck, even Chardonnay (perhaps you were unaware that Chardonnay itself is a hybrid of Pinot and Gouais Blanc). Pinots have […]
Those of you who’ve been getting these emails or attending our wine tastings for a while will know that we do our best to remind you periodically that when one is faced with a mysterious bottle of wine about which one knows nothing, one must turn the bottle around and investigate who it is that […]
My Dear Kind Sippers, In an attempt to banish the impression that Sake is strictly for your sushi-related enjoyment, we’re hosting a tasting of downright poetic Sakes this Sunday, June 24th. Our friend and sometime wine explainer Valerie Verkerke will be here telling you what these tasty rice wines are all about, and you’ll be […]
Hello, Wine Sippers. If you’ve chatted with me about wines that I’m convinced are an excellent value, I’ve probably extolled to you the virtues of Spain. The thing about Spain is the wines are really reasonably priced for the quality you get. The other thing about Spain is that in your own tasting history, unless […]
Hello, Wine Friends. The last Sunday of the month again draws near, and this month’s tasting promises to be delicious. Mary Grace Rodarte brings us wines that are all organic, sustainable and/or biodynamic. Time was, organic wine meant well-intentioned but not necessarily all that tasty. That’s changed, and we intend to prove it to you […]
Hi, wine tasters. Thursday is Wine Rep Day at Feast, which means a dozen or so people come to share wines with us in hopes that we’ll put them on our list. As a general rule, maybe a quarter or a third of the wines are potential candidates for the list, and we taste through […]
Hello, my Dionysian friends, As Arizona celebrates 100 years of statehood this month, we thought it might be a nice salute to our own pioneer spirit if we offered a tribute to some other pioneers as well. This month’s tasting features the pioneers of their respective wine-making regions, both New World and Old. The wines […]
