Hello Wine Lovers,

Drink anything good this weekend? I did. I went to Ken Wright's 2008 Barrel Tasting yesterday, and let me tell you, yum--------wait for it----meeeee. (YUMMY) I got to try 5 of his 08 Pinot's along with his Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. All quite delicious. Keep it up you guys.

Tomorrow night I have live music from 6-8/9, no cover. Come on down and sing along with some of your ol' favorites. Plus, a couple glasses of wine and you'll be sounding real good.

Friday night I have a 2005 Bordeaux tasting with Darrel from Lemma Wines. Simply put, 2005 was a stellar year for Bordeaux and Darrel will have a few to sample. I can't wait for this one.
Tasting fee is $5.00 and the tasting is from 5-8. See you all there.

This Saturday is my WINE MAKER DINNER. Featuring Jason Bull from David Hill Winery. I have only 5 tickets left, so if you procrastinated and didn't get any you are still in luck. Call or email me ASAP.

Dinner starts at 7 but the first appetizer course starts at 6. This dinner is a 7 course meal paired with 7 of Jason's wines. I will also have some live music for you to enjoy.

Have a great week, see you all real soon.

Hello All,

How you doing? I take it everyone survived the snow. That's a good thing. Only 2 more months of it. How exciting. Can't wait........ It is a good thing we have plenty of wine to keep us warm.

Tomorrow night, Wednesday there will be live music here from 6-8. Our acoustic guitar group is back and ready to rock your socks off. No cover, come down for a glass and listen to some live rock n roll.

Also might have the sounds of EJ Bazea this Saturday night from 6-8, no cover. Will follow up when I know for sure.

This Friday night my good friend Josh from Vineria Italia will be here and he is going to do a California meets Italy kind of thing. He will be pouring 3 wines from Italy and 3 from California. Tasting fee is $5.00 and the tasting is from 5-8. Don't miss out on this one.

I have 6 tickets left for the David Hill Wine Maker Dinner on Saturday January 17th. Dinner is from 6-10 and is $75.00 apiece. This includes a 7 course dinner prepared by Dawn Houser and is paired with 7 of Jason Bull's wines. This should be a blast.

For those of you who attended my basic wine tasting class back in October and my High end Cab/Shiraz tasting in November I have another surprise scheduled for you. On Saturday, February 7, I have Tom from Small Vineyards coming in to teach/host a high end Italian Tasting/Class. Tom works for Bacchus Distributing and he goes to Italy to sample small plots of vineyards and then he bring the wines back for distribution. A great job, if i do say so myself. even better than mine.

So, this tasting/class should be amazing. Tickets are $50.00 and will include 2 Amarone, 2 Brunello and 2 Barolo's along with heavy hor'derves. A once in a life time event............ok, a little to dramatic.

Have great week.

Ciao.
