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.
Hi, wine tasters. I like to think we bring fun and interesting wines in each month for you to taste, but we’re often constrained by the theme of the tasting to mostly more tried-and-true varietals. There comes a point in serving wine, however, where we start wanting you to taste what we want you to […]
Hi, wine tasters. We all know a little something about wine. Yes, the ancient Greeks filled their amphorae with wine, and yes it made its way with Greek slaves to what is now Italy, where it was refined and finessed and it evolved into something new and complex. Then the Romans took grapevines with them […]
Well, Feastlings, I must say I feel a little embarrassed at spending last month extolling the virtues of bright, fresh white wines, only to turn around and send you a note about this month’s offerings, which are predominantly great big reds. My only excuse is that these wines all come from Australia, and it’s most […]
Hi ho, Feastlings. I don’t know about you, but I felt a little bit gypped. Last weekend I left work in a sweatshirt, and by Monday, the thermometer had already hit 92 degrees. Why someone who dreads the heat like I do lives in Tucson year after year, I couldn’t say. I get sleepy. I […]
Hey there, Feastlings. With Easter falling on the last Sunday this month, we’ve relocated our wine tasting to Sunday, March 24th. It’s still at Feast, it’s still at 3:30, and it’s still a chance to taste six tasty wines with accompanying snacks. The wines this month all hail from Salta, the northern Argentine wine region […]
How lucky did we get? Winemaker and fascinating individual Randall Grahm will be joining us to talk about his wines and his universe quite soon. Details below. Bonny Doon Dinner with winemaker Randall Grahm Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at Feast at 6:30 pm Seared saffron spätzle with fava beans, beets, and sugar-poached blood […]
Good day to you, Feastlings. I know you all saw Sideways. I did too. And Miles had some reasoning behind his diatribes against Merlot: ten and fifteen years ago, there was a lot of insipid Merlot out there, and there still is. Still, Miles taught us all a nasty habit. Working at Feast, I can’t […]
Hello, wine-tasting buddies, Once in a while, those of us here in the sticks in Tucson merit a visit from City Folk. This weekend is one such instance. Sunday is of course our Last Sunday wine tasting, and this month, as part of our Trust Your Importer series, we’ll be featuring the wines of Dreyfus, […]
If I worked for an importer, I’d lean strongly toward Winebow. Ever since Feast opened, I’ve gone to the industry wine tastings, and year after year, when I go and taste hundreds of wines at a time, there’s a table at which I find myself shaking my head and wondering how I can like every […]
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 […]
