SUMMARY:Try Something New Wine Tasting Series
DESCRIPTION:From Ancient Lakes to Mudgee: Try Something New Wine Tasting Series. Because wine is fun.\nWine is fun; what a concept. And what better way to enjoy and see the beauty of wine than with a wine tasting? Sampling wines is a staple for most wine shops. They allow buyers to decide if a particular bottle is a fit for the store. Or they give you\, the customer\, the opportunity to try it before buying it. Not every wine is for everyone and finding the right one can sometimes be difficult. \nWine Enthusiasts have been alienated by the wine industry. Partly because of the sheer number of wines there are\, and partly because describing wines can be overwhelming. \n“Flower petals atop oak shavings with blackberry undertones.” Did you not get the same notes? \nAlthough the industry tries desperately to make wine easy\, at times it feels like they are making things harder. We know that describing wines is not everyone’s forté\, and that wine is personal\, which is why we are bringing them to you. \nWine should be something we are all comfortable with. Like bread\, fruits\, and the other foods we eat.\nWine is a consumable which is why enjoying it is more important than describing it. And why trying it is the best way of knowing. Which is why for 2018 we will be introducing the Try Something New wine tasting series. The idea is to bring to the table wines that are new and unique. We are going to bring FUN back to wine by reminding everyone that wine is first meant to be a learning experience. Like trying a new dish at home or the restaurant. Wines offer individual experiences to each person and with each glass. \nThe Try Something New wine tastings are meant to compel\, excite\, and make enjoying wine easier. So stop by and see what we will have in store for you. \nThe lineup:\nRick Lacasse–\n1) Hugel Gentil Alsace\n2) Erath Pinot Noir Oregon\n3) Klinker Brick OV Zin Lodi\n4) Justin Isosceles Paso Robles\n5) Catena Malbec Mendoza\n6) Oh! Schist Riesling QbA \nNic Haegeli–\n1) Schiopetto -Des Rosis- Pinot Grigio Friuli\n2) Parusso ‘Piane Noce’ Dolcetto d’Alba\n3) Antica Fratta Franciacorta Brut NV\n4) Le Bordeaux de Larrivet Haut-Brion Rouge\n5)Le Bordeaux de Larrivet Haut-Brion Rouge\n6) Bodegas Baron -Micaela- Cream Sherry \nDavid Raines–\nJérôme Godon Sancerre\nSilver Angel Sauvignon Blanc Thracian Valley\nReverdito Langhe Nebbiolo ‘Simane’\nAngel Cabernet Sauvignon Thracian Valley\n4 Seasons ‘Winter’ Cabernet Franc Thracian Valley\nCa’ Lojera Lugana Bianco \nDennis Kearney–\nMichele Castellani ‘San Michele’ Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso\nSeghesio Zinfandel Sonoma County\nRivera ‘Preludio #1’ Chardonnay Puglia\nRivera Sauvignon Blanc Puglia\nAbacela Tempranillo ‘Fiesta’ Umpqua Valley\nHuber Riesling ‘Terrassen’ Traisental \nClick Here for other opportunities to learn\n  \n

SUMMARY:Boston Winery: Wines from the City
DESCRIPTION:Who knew Boston was a hotbed for winemaking? Someone did and they called at Boston Winery.\nLet’s be honest; there aren’t any grapes being grown in Boston\, at least not like California. But the wines are being made in Boston. Californian grapes are shipped to Boston\, then they are crushed\, aged\, and bottled right here in our home state. Making wine is not that difficult\, it’s making drinkable wine that is. We have seen many “crush” wines (no vineyards or facility) in our day but few have demonstrated their capacity like the group at Boston Winery. \nFrom their own brands like ‘Without Papers’ and ‘Bread & Roses’ to the Black Dog label for none other\, the wines compete with the best. Their wines exemplify the varietals and styles appropriately and at a price point\, we can all appreciate. \nBut don’t take our word. Try it for yourself. \nCheck out the Boston Winery website for more info \nClick here to check out another tasting for a local establishment: 1634 Meadery

SUMMARY:Quinta do Noval Wine Tasting with Deirdre
DESCRIPTION:Who could say no to a Quinta do Noval wine tasting?\nMaybe a few of you could but that is only because you don’t know Quinta do Noval. One of the most famous of Port houses\, Quinta do Noval is and has been royalty in Porto. Not only famous for making world-class wine but also famous for having one of the few pre-phylloxera vineyards in Europe\, Nacional. Although we won’t be privileged to taste the Vintage Nacional as only 90 bottles made it to the US\, we will be tasting their other Ports. Which brings us back to the original question; who could say no to a Noval wine tasting? \nPort has long been misunderstood as it is so closely tied with dessert wine. Understandable considering it is rather sweet. But what if I told you that it isn’t just for dessert. That it is also for cocktails and can be used as an aperitif. It can. The reputation that Port is only a “dessert” wine is now a thing of the past. Mixologists\, wine drinkers and cocktail lovers are embracing Port’s new found glory and so will you. With Deirdre at the helm of this tasting\, we are going to be shown how Port is more than a dessert wine. \nLooks like things have changed just a bit. Although we will still be sampling Noval\, a few more items were just added to the lineup: \nBollinger Champagne Special Cuvee Brut NV\nDomaine Talmard Macon-Chardonnay\nChateau Lyonnat Lussac-St-Emilion

SUMMARY:Testa Wines South American Tasting with Wendy
DESCRIPTION:Testa Wines: Bringing the highest caliber wines to your dinner table.\nTesta Wines may be less known than Diageo and Moet Hennessey\, but their impact in the wine industry resonates to this day. Having once been the importer for little brands like Veuve Clicquot\, Antinori\, and Mouton Cadet\, it is easy to see why we are excited about working with them. \nMost recently\, Testa has found their way to South America where they have discovered some gems.\nThe first is La Mision\, a project started by Domaine William Fevre. Due to the rising demand in Burgundy and lack of land\, William Fevre has decided to venture into other regions. It may not have been their 1st choice\, but Chile was where they decided to plant their vines. Using clippings from their vineyards in Burgundy\, William Fevre planted vineyards where they deemed most appropriate and started La Mision. The wines are precise\, to say the least. The white wines are reminiscent of wines from Burgundy with minerality\, acidity\, and balanced fruit flavors. The red wines resemble wines from Provence with laid-back fruit flavors and fresh acidity on the finish. \nThe second is Proemio; Argentinian wines with an Italian heritage. Like most Italians immigrants Marcelo Bocardo came from a family that emphasized eating well. Not only did this apply to food but it also applied to wine. However\, eating steak every day isn’t common so why the necessity for over-extracted wines? Marcelo went out to create wines that would pair well with common household dinners. Hence Proemio. The wines emphasize the quality of the grapes and the regions they were grown in and heighten foods versus overpowering them. \nWendy\, the local rep for Testa\, will be here to engage your palate and open your mind to these newcomers. She will be pouring the wines and educating us on why these wines are the new frontier for Soth America. \nWines being sampled:\n\nLa Mision Reserva Especial Chardonnay\nLa Mision Reserva Especial Pinot Noir\nLa Mision Reserva Especial Carmenere\nProemio Cabernet Sauvignon\nProemio Reserva Malbec\nProemio ICON

SUMMARY:Grand Wine Tastings: Fall 2018
DESCRIPTION:Finally in writing is our Grand Wine Tastings for 2018.\nOur seasonal Grand Wine Tastings are events that look at what we have done and have to offer. These tastings represent the wine department because the encompass the breadth of the department. Unlike the Try Something New tastings that will be taking place\, the GWT allow you to try old favorites alongside newcomers. And in a dynamic business like ours\, taking time to try wines is important. With so many to choose from\, it is nice to sample them. \nStill into oaky Chardonnay? We will have them. Never tried a Muscadet? They will be there. Want to sample an extravagant Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon? You can bet a bottle or two will be available to try. \nBut why stop there!\nWith an opportunity to try 50 or more bottles of wine\, there will be plenty to go around and choose from. The Grand Wine Tastings are our most visited events and anticipated events for a reason. We aren’t looking to push an agenda or force-feed you the latest find. No! We want our customers to sample through what we have to offer and find their favorite. Maybe you are tired of your go-to and are looking for the new table topper. This is the event for you. Maybe you want to see if there are other wines that feel familiar but offer up a unique twist. This is the event for that. \nThere are so many different wines out there. Why limit yourself. \nSo…If you are looking for a change and on a hunt\, stop by and see what will be available. \nAs always\, this event is free to the public. Bring family and friends and enjoy an afternoon of times with good wines. \nIn conjunction with the Grand Wine Tastings\, we will also be hosting our Try Something New wine tastings.

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting with John Grange Wine Broker
DESCRIPTION:Nothing beats a tasting with someone that knows what they are talking about. That’s why we are hosting a wine tasting with John Grange.\nJohn Grange and his team are just those people. Wine tasting is unique because each bottle of wine has a story to tell. Which inevitably makes the person behind the table a storyteller. Wine isn’t sold based on your decibel level\, it is sold by the history each glass unravels. The story behind the wine isn’t just a story it’s its DNA. Which is why having a wine tasting with John Grange and his team is so vital. They make it an experience and not just another interaction. \nWhich is why we are happy to have John and his team back. \nAs a wine broker John represents different wines for different importers. Himself along with his team then learn the history of the wineries and subsequently its wines and help promote them. \nIf you like wine tastings here is a list of a few more you might be interested in: Click Here\nLineup:\nLes Darons Rouge Languedoc\n3 Brooms by Barker’s Marque Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough\nCuvaison Chardonnay Carneros\nCuvaison Pinot Noir Carneros\nLilac wine by Jeff Carrel Cotes du Roussillon Villages

SUMMARY:Apothic Wines Tasting: The Mystery Unfolds
DESCRIPTION:What is it about Apothic Wines that keeps us coming back for more?\nApothic Wines is relatively new when it comes to wineries. That being said\, their meteoric rise to stardom is the opposite of slow and steady. \nIt’s now 2018 and Apothic Wines can be found in red\, white\, and rosé variations. The red blend which is their primary offering is now available in Crush\, a light red with soft fruit flavors\, and Dark\, a richer red with jammed berries and baking spices. Also available are the Seasonal Offerings which are only available while supplies last. In this category\, there is the Inferno\, a whiskey barrel aged red that has intense spiciness\, and Brew which adds cold brew coffee into the blend. \nTheir innovation and continuous search or excellence are what drives this brand and its wines.\nHowever\, not everyone has heard of or tried these wines and they are looking to change that. Join us for what is sure to be a fun-filled afternoon with good wines and company.

DESCRIPTION:We welcome back our favorite Kiwi\, Liz\, who will be representing Wither Hills and Sophora wines.\nIn a not too distant past\, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was anything but known. Now we can’t seem to get enough of it. Some wineries rely on their legacy for continued growth\, while others put it all on the table. Wither Hills is the latter. \nOnce a source of Sauvignon Blanc for some of the wineries of today\, Wither Hills has decided that producing their own wines was going to be the plan going forward. The Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and palate enticing. The Pinot Noir is lush with lean fruit notes and a nice backbone of smoke. \nSophora is a sparkling wine producer based out of New Zealand. New Zealand’s wide range of regions and cooler climate makes it the perfect country for sparkling wines. These wines have life and resonate with the vibrancy that New Zealand wines are known for. With hints of quince\, orange rind\, and lemongrass these sparklers offer just as many nuances and flavors as the rest. \nBoth Wither Hills and Sophora produce great wines\, but nothing beats finding out for yourself.

SUMMARY:Try Something New Wine Tasting Series
DESCRIPTION:From Ancient Lakes to Mudgee: Try Something New Wine Tasting Series. Because wine is fun.\nWine is fun; what a concept. And what better way to enjoy and see the beauty of wine than with a wine tasting? Sampling wines is a staple for most wine shops. They allow buyers to decide if a particular bottle is a fit for the store. Or they give you\, the customer\, the opportunity to try it before buying it. Not every wine is for everyone and finding the right one can sometimes be difficult. \nWine Enthusiasts have been alienated by the wine industry. Partly because of the sheer number of wines there are\, and partly because describing wines can be overwhelming. \n“Flower petals atop oak shavings with blackberry undertones.” Did you not get the same notes? \nAlthough the industry tries desperately to make wine easy\, at times it feels like they are making things harder. We know that describing wines is not everyone’s forté\, and that wine is personal\, which is why we are bringing them to you. \nWine should be something we are all comfortable with. Like bread\, fruits\, and the other foods we eat.\nWine is a consumable which is why enjoying it is more important than describing it. And why trying it is the best way of knowing. Which is why for 2018 we will be introducing the Try Something New wine tasting series. The idea is to bring to the table wines that are new and unique. We are going to bring FUN back to wine by reminding everyone that wine is first meant to be a learning experience. Like trying a new dish at home or the restaurant. Wines offer individual experiences to each person and with each glass. \nThe Try Something New wine tastings are meant to compel\, excite\, and make enjoying wine easier.

SUMMARY:E&J Gallo Luxury Wines Tasting with Tom
DESCRIPTION:Story has it that what was once a modest winery became a global empire known as E&J Gallo Winery.\nErnest and Julio Gallo lived long enough to see what their company E&J Gallo has become. From selling cases of their eponymously named wines to some of the most recognizable names in the wine industry. It’s difficult to say that their wines aren’t for you because their reach is extensive. From Australia to New Zealand to Italy and back to the states the wines are only bound by the imagination. Looking for something light and exciting? They have it. How about a rich red with layers of flavor? Better yet\, a highly acclaimed Italian winery? Three of them if not more. \nE&J Gallo wanted to be more than just another large wine company\, they wanted to be standard bearers. Having wine wasn’t enough\, they wanted the best wines. Sure\, Livingston may not have been featured at your last wine dinner. But the 2013 Louis Martini Lot 1 might one day. However\, none of this matters if you don’t like the wine which is why Tom will be stopping by. Tom is the Luxury Wines Specialist for the Gallo wines. His knowledge and appreciation for wines are more than label deep. He loves to teach so take advantage of this opportunity. \nCheers! \nLooking for a great Cabernet Sauvignon that is sure to please?\nLouis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County

SUMMARY:Wente Vineyards the Chardonnay Specialist
DESCRIPTION:Wente Vineyards has a history of winemaking as prestigious as the California winemaking industry.\nOne of the first wineries established\, Wente Vineyards cut its teeth early on in more ways than one. However\, what truly put Wente on the map was the creation of the Wente clone Chardonnay. \nOne of the greatest untold tidbits of information is that not all Chardonnays are the same. It is clear to most that the winemaker and region makes a difference\, but how many know about clonal variation. From 667 to Wente\, the different clones of Chardonnay impart their own nuances on the wine. The Wente family found the now eponymously named clone in France and discovered it suited the California climate. Fast forward to today and the Wente clone is responsible for 80% of the Chardonnay coming out of Cali. \nWente Vineyards specializes in Chardonnay and it is easy to see why.\nTheir wines manage to balance full tropical fruits with well-managed oak and fresh acidity the way good wine was meant to. This description also holds true for the reds. Easy drinking and meant to entice the palate and coax you into having more. But you don’t have to believe me. Just stop by and taste for yourself why Wente Vineyard is the real king of Chardonnay.

SUMMARY:Colonial Spirits' 5th Annual Summer Bash
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Colonial Spirits’ 5th Annual Summer Bash.\nThe Summer Bash is one of our favorite event of the year. Unlike our samplings and seminars\, the Summer Bash is a time for fun and festivities. It marks the beginning of summer\, the season of get-togethers and slower days. Summer may be too hot for some\, but with the right people and the right drink in your hand\, it makes for some of the best stories. The first of which is right here. \nWith a tasting lineup that is sure to chill you down\, plenty of BBQ (hot dogs and burgers)\, and a few yard games this will be our biggest event yet. Beer\, liquor\, wine\, and mixed drinks will be sampled throughout the afternoon. Take a step outside and you will find one of our very own manning the grill along with favorite yard games. Bocce anyone? We may bring back cornhole as well\, but now I’m getting ahead of myself. \nInstead of stating the reasons you should go\, I’m going to say\, “GO!” Life is about making memories\, so why not make one with us. \nThe line-up: \nTito’s Vodka — 1-4 pm \nCleveland Underground — 1-5 pm \nStirring’s Cocktail Mixers — 1-5 pm \nHouse Bear Brewing Mead — 1:30-5 pm \nJack’s Abby Craft Lagers — \nNight Shift Brewing — \nTrue North Ale Company– \n

SUMMARY:Boston Winery: Wines from the City
DESCRIPTION:Who knew Boston was a hotbed for winemaking? Someone did and they called at Boston Winery.\nLet us be honest; there aren’t any grapes being grown in Boston\, at least not like California. But the wines are being made in Boston. Californian grapes are shipped to Boston\, then they are crushed\, aged\, and bottled right here in our home state. Making wine is not that difficult\, it’s making drinkable wine that is. We have seen many “crush” wines (no vineyards or facility) in our day but few have demonstrated their capacity like the group at Boston Winery. \nFrom their own brands like ‘Without Papers’ and ‘Bread & Roses’ to the Black Dog label for none other\, the wines compete with the best. Their wines exemplify the varietals and styles appropriately and at a price\, we can all appreciate. \nBut don’t take our word. Try it for yourself. \nCheck out the Boston Winery website for more info \nClick here to check out another tasting for a local establishment: 1634 Meadery

SUMMARY:Masciarelli Wine Co. Wine Tasting w/ John Avery
DESCRIPTION:Our longest running tasting is now officially the Masciarelli Wine Co. Tasting that is hosted by John Avery.\nMasciarelli Wine Co has now been in the wine distribution industry for a little over 30 years. To say that they are new to the game or small time is not giving them enough credit. They have one of the most extensive Italian wine portfolios and their Bordeaux selections rival distributors double their size. From one of their staple brands like Trentadue Old Patch Red to more unique offerings like the Domaine Poulleau Cotes de Beaune ‘Les Mondes Rondes’ Rouge\, Masciarelli is here to find wines that overdeliver. \nJohn Avery has been with Masciarelli for at least 10 years\, and it shows. He is dedicated to the company and its brands with about just as much fervor as if it was still his first day. For John\, wine is more than the label. It is about the wine that does have a story and a sense of place. It’s about the wine’s journey from the vineyard to the bottle and not what a marketing team says you should do. And if you don’t see it\, he is here willing to show you. \nSo if you are willing to learn\, John is willing to teach. Stop by and see what wines he has lined up and hear the stories behind them.

SUMMARY:Charles River Wine Co Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Charles River Wine Co is one of the distributors you never have heard of but should.\nWith a dedication to finding the unique and craft wines\, Charles River Wine Co has created their own niche in the MA wine market. Their wines truly encapture the idea of terroir and represent a family and not a company. The wines have stories and each one is more interesting than the last. \nBut hearing the story from us is not as fun as hearing it from someone at Charles River Wine Co\, which is why Kate will be stopping by to sample some of their latest finds. These wines are fun and worth taking a look at. \nSee you there. Cheers!

SUMMARY:Masciarelli Wine Co. Wine Tasting w/ John Avery
DESCRIPTION:Our longest running tasting is now officially the Masciarelli Wine Co. Tasting that is hosted by John Avery.\nMasciarelli Wine Co has now been in the wine distribution industry for a little over 30 years. To say that they are new to the game or small time is not giving them enough credit. They have one of the most extensive Italian wine portfolios and their Bordeaux selections rival distributors double their size. From one of their staple brands like Trentadue Old Patch Red to more unique offerings like the Domaine Poulleau Cotes de Beaune ‘Les Mondes Rondes’ Rouge\, Masciarelli is here to find wines that overdeliver. \nJohn Avery has been with Masciarelli for at least 10 years\, and it shows. He is dedicated to the company and its brands with about just as much fervor as if it was still his first day. For John\, wine is more than the label. It is about the wine that does have a story and a sense of place. It’s about the wine’s journey from the vineyard to the bottle and not what a marketing team says you should do. And if you don’t see it\, he is here willing to show you. \nSo if you are willing to learn\, John is willing to teach. Stop by and see what wines he has lined up and hear the stories behind them.

SUMMARY:Vineyard Road Wine Tasting w/ Rob
DESCRIPTION:Vineyard Road Distributor may not have the long\, established history as others\, but it is paving its own path.\nVineyard Road seeks the road less taken when it comes to wines\, and this philosophy has done them well. The wineries have a legacy and the wines must have a story. Not looking to compete in the label wine segment of the industry and that is because there is nothing there to talk about. \nRob has been with Vineyard Road Dist. for some time now and has been our sales rep for the last 3 years. His charisma and style mimic VR’s philosophy and it is easy to see why he loves his job. He gets to sell wine for the love of selling and not to hit numbers. He gets to enjoy his job and not stress over it. \nSo\, to see what Vineyard Road has to offer\, stop by this evening and sample a few of our favorites with Rob.

SUMMARY:Premium European Wines Inc Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Premium European Wines Inc is at it again\, and it looks like they are stronger than ever.\nPremium European Wines Inc is a locally based wine distributor that started right here in Acton\, MA. Their focus–if their name didn’t give it away–is European wines that embody their company’s philosophy. PEW believes in giving back and they do so by donating a percentage of their sales. As such\, the wineries they were after also had to give back in addition to having superb wines. And that is exactly what they found. \nFrom wineries that are sustainable to wineries that are organic and wineries that give back to their workers\, all of the wines in PEW’s portfolio have a story. All of the wines that PEW represent are family owned and operated wineries that represent wine growing regions that have a history of winemaking but without all of the glitz. Hard work and a love for winemaking are what drives these families\, not “Points of Distribution” or “Incentives”.  These are wineries that are proud of what they make and would be even prouder to drink it. \nSo support local and stop by to try what a few people from the Acton area have in store.

SUMMARY:Black Dog Wine: More than Fashion
DESCRIPTION:You may know Black Dog for their Cape Cod-style fashion\, but they also have a second brand Black Dog Wine.\nBlack Dog Wine may not be personally making the wines\, but they oversee the production to ensure that it is up to their standards. And they do. The white blend is the perfect summer sipper that balances fruit\, brightness\, and a hint of sweetness. The Cabernet drinks with the best of the California Cabs and is priced appropriately. \nHowever\, you can try them and decide for yourself. Join us for this free wine tasting to see what else Black Dog is up to.

SUMMARY:Try Something New Wine Tasting Series
DESCRIPTION:From Ancient Lakes to Mudgee: Try Something New Wine Tasting Series. Because wine is fun.\nWine is fun; what a concept. And what better way to enjoy and see the beauty of wine than with a wine tasting? Sampling wines is a staple for most wine shops. They allow buyers to decide if a particular bottle is a fit for the store. Or they give you\, the customer\, the opportunity to try it before buying it. Not every wine is for everyone and finding the right one can sometimes be difficult. \nWine Enthusiasts have been alienated by the wine industry. Partly because of the sheer number of wines there are\, and partly because describing wines can be overwhelming. \n“Flower petals atop oak shavings with blackberry undertones.” Did you not get the same notes? \nAlthough the industry tries desperately to make wine easy\, at times it feels like they are making things harder. We know that describing wines is not everyone’s forté\, and that wine is personal\, which is why we are bringing them to you. \nWine should be something we are all comfortable with. Like bread\, fruits\, and the other foods we eat.\nWine is a consumable which is why enjoying it is more important than describing it. And why trying it is the best way of knowing. Which is why for 2018 we will be introducing the Try Something New wine tasting series. The idea is to bring to the table wines that are new and unique. We are going to bring FUN back to wine by reminding everyone that wine is first meant to be a learning experience. Like trying a new dish at home or the restaurant. Wines offer individual experiences to each person and with each glass. \nThe Try Something New wine tastings are meant to compel\, excite\, and make enjoying wine easier. So stop by and see what we will have in store for you. \nClick Here for other opportunities to learn\n
