SUMMARY:Empson Wines w/ Niall
DESCRIPTION:Empson Wine Importer has been a long-standing partner of ours and we are excited to have Niall stop by and pour some of their gems. Focused predominantly Italian wines but with a sprinkling of wines from other regions\, Empson has brought os some of the biggest Italian names: Conterno Fantino\, Marcarini\, Lagaria\, and Canella. This is an exciting tasting because Italian wines are exciting. Italian wines embody the idea of terroir and entice the palate with the layers of flavors. \nThis is a tasting not to be missed because we never know what Niall has in store. \n  \nHope to see everyone there.

SUMMARY:Masciarelli Wines w/ John
DESCRIPTION:How long has it been since we have been having these regularly occurring wine tastings with John? Years. John is both a Portfolio Manager and Sales Rep for Masciarelli Wine Co. so you can say he knows a thing or two about wine. But\, unlike many wine experts\, John doesn’t throw his knowledge around as a way of intimidating you. Instead\, he consoles you and guides you through his wines in a manner that allows you to grasp and understand what tastes you are trying. We are not all cut out to be connoisseurs\, but it is nice when someone like John can make tasting wine a fun and relaxing experience versus a stressful one. \nIf you have not yet met John or have tried his wines\, this is the opportunity to do so. \nCarpe Vinum

SUMMARY:Hardwick Vineyard and Winery w/ Brian
DESCRIPTION:With every state now officially producing wine\, the real question becomes\, how do you stand out? While some wineries stick to the tried and true\, others work with what is available. Hardwick Vineyard is the latter. Hardwick is Massachusetts grown from vineyards to bottle. Producing an array of wines that take advantage of indigenous grape varietals and produce (cranberry and blueberry)\, Hardwick is rolling through at full charge. These wines may not be your typical Chardonnay\, Cabernet\, and Merlot\, but when has Massachusetts ever flowed with the current. The wines may be unusual or\, at the very least\, different\, but one thing holds true and that is they are all well made.

SUMMARY:8th Annual Winter Big Red Tasting - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:While vineyards go dormant for the winter\, we set our gaze ahead and focus on our 8th Annual Winter Big Red Tasting. This is THE event of the year. We hold nothing back and leave nothing at the door because we take red wine seriously. The tasting is not just big in size\, two Saturdays with at least 50 unique wines on each day\, but also in depth.We will be showcasing a number of varieties\, styles\, and the full red color spectrum during this tasting. \nLooking for an alternative for Cab Sauv\, we will have it.

Each Saturday will be unique from sales reps to wines\, nothing will be repeated. You shouldn’t miss either weekend\, but I know that life can get complicated\, especially this time of year. Grab your winter hats\, gloves\, and boots and find your way to our tasting as it will not disappoint. \nCarpe Vinum! \nHere is a small taste of some of the wines we will be sampling: \nOrin Swift ‘Abstract’\nOrin Swift ‘Palermo’\nClarendon Hills ‘Sandown’ Cab Sauv\nClarendon Hilla ‘Blewitt Springs’ Grenache\nBlackbird ‘Illustration’ Napa Valley\nMasi ‘Costasera’ Amarone\nRidge Lytton Springs\nHall Cab Sauv Napa Valley\nRound Pond Cab Sauv Napa Valley\nTres Picos Garnacha (WS Top 100)\nOptima Petite Sirah Dry Creek\nCannard Zinfandel Napa Valley\nGD Vajra Barolo Chinato\nConway Cab Sauv Happy Canyon\nCh Gloria Saint-Julien\nBedrock Old Vine Zinfandel

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving Dinner and Wines with Sue
DESCRIPTION:This has become a staple at our store and one of the most anticipated events of the year. Sue will once again grace us with her presence\, wines\, and food the Saturday before Thanksgiving. With a full Thanksgiving Dinner spread to nibble on and a few wines to sip through\, this is a must in my book. So drop the kids off and stop by this afternoon and enjoy what we have to offer.

SUMMARY:Global Wine Inc. Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Global Wine Inc\, has been around for a while and we have been in business with for just as long. In that time we have seen brands like Marta’s Vineyard\, Flama D’or\, and Wicked. Their most recent venture\, and now ours\, is the Le Versant. Le Versant is from Southern France\, and like many of the wines from that region are varietally driven. With so many producers pushing oak flavors or other flavors (Bourbon)\, it is nice to see wines that showcase the fruit from which they are made. In addition to classicly clean flavors\, these wines are sharply priced. The idea is that great wine doesn’t need to be expensive. Everyone should be able to enjoy a nice bottle without having to worry about the pocket book. If you are looking for that table wine to have during the holiday season\, this is the label to look for. But you don’t have to take my word.

SUMMARY:Monsieur Touton Wines Tasting w/ Joe
DESCRIPTION:Considered to be one of the “smaller” distributors in MA\, Monsieur Touton is anything but. While many distributors look at creating long-term deals to get good pricing\, Touton purchases whole lots to get the best pricing. This allows the winery/brand to open up space in the warehouse and work on new things. This also gives Touton the upper hand because very few people can beat their prices. Heidsieck Monopole Champagne\, Agua de Piedra Malbec\, and Tomaiolo are a few of their well-known  labels. That being said\, they are constantly updating their portfolio by adding new things. This makes it hard to keep track of. Which is why Joe will be stopping by\, to help us all get better acquainted. This is an opportunity to try some of our newest acquisitions from Touton with one of its top men.

SUMMARY:Premium European Wines Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:This is as fresh as they come – for distributors\, I mean. Premium European Wines is a small operation based out of our hometown\, Acton\, MA. Paul and Oxana are the husband and wife team that founded the business\, represent the wines\, deliver and promote the wines. When it comes to boutique\, family oriented\, environmentally conscious wineries look no further. With only a handful of brands in their portfolio\, you can say that they are starting small. Regardless of their size\, these wines are just as serious\, if not more than the rest. With fewer hands to feed – Prem Euro Wines is the importer and distributor – and no marketing to pay for\, these wines offer up an exceptional value but are still well-made. We will be stocking these wines for the foreseeable future so might as well get not only acquainted with them but also the people behind them. See you all here. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Mill River Winery Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what goes on behind the doors of wineries? Well\, here is the opportunity. On this evening we will be hosting Michele from Mill River Winery out of Rowley\, MA for a night of wine tasting and fun. These wines are a mix of Baystate and Sunshine Sate grapes\, style\, and innovation. From the standard Unoaked Chardonnay to something a bit more unique like the Shades of Grey Rosé\, there is a wine for all tastes. These wines are wonderful representations of the NE winemaking style. And if you consider they have been selling out every vintage\, one would think they are at least worth trying. \nSo if you are looking for something different that will still impress even the snobbiest of wine snobs. We have just the wines. \nCheck out their webpage for more info: Mill River Winery

SUMMARY:19 Crimes Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:In reference to all of the criminals that were shipped to Australia from mother England\, 19 Crimes pays tribute to the “bold” gents that marooned on this deserted island nation. Regardless of how you may feel about these occurrences\, the wine is as intriguing as the label and the stories behind the labels. For the first time in our history\, we will be sampling through the 19 Crimes wine lineup which includes 19 Crimes Red Blend\, 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon\, and the Warden Red Blend. This brand is trending so why not stop by and see why.

With fewer hands to feed – Prem Euro Wines is the importer and distributor – and no marketing to pay for\, these wines offer up an exceptional value but are still well-made. We will be stocking these wines for the foreseeable future so might as well get not only acquainted with them but also the people behind them. See you all here. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:7th Annual Fall Grand Wine Tasting - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Welcome\, to our 7th Annual Fall Grand Wine Tasting. We find ourselves\, once again\, heading into fall and nothing defines the changing of the season more than the switch from white wine to red wine. However\, all is not lost for white wine because this grand wine tasting doesn’t focus on just red wines\, in fact\, white\, rosé\, and sparkling wines all make an appearance. This is the most dynamic of our “Grand Tastings” as the focus is on wines that pair well with fall. What says the night is young like a good\, oaky Chardonnay. Or\, better yet\, ever had grilled salmon with a hearty Pinot Noir? Regardless of whether you have an affinity for or an aversion to red or white wine\, there will be something here for everyone. \nLike past grand wine tastings\, this is a two-weekend event. Neither weekend is the same. None of the reps are the same\, so none of the wines are the same. Each weekend is unique\, so if you miss one weekend you have missed the opportunity to try around 50 or so unique wines. I would recommend coming to both\, but I know life can get in the way. \nCall family and friends and make an afternoon of it\, because there are few events like these. \nCarpe Vinum! \nHere is a short list pf what we will be pouring: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBroadside ‘Wild Ferment’ Chardonnay Edna Vly\n\n\nLandhaus-Mayer Gruner Veltliner Austria\n\n\nCh.

SUMMARY:Masciarelli Wines w/ John
DESCRIPTION:How long has it been since we have been having these regularly occurring wine tastings with John? Years. John is both a Portfolio Manager and Sales Rep for Masciarelli Wine Co. so you can say he knows a thing or two about wine. But\, unlike many wine experts\, John doesn’t throw his knowledge around as a way of intimidating you. Instead\, he consoles you and guides you through his wines in a manner that allows you to grasp and understand what tastes you are trying. We are not all cut out to be connoisseurs\, but it is nice when someone like John can make tasting wine a fun and relaxing experience versus a stressful one. \nIf you have not yet met John or have tried his wines\, this is the opportunity to do so. \nCarpe Vinum

SUMMARY:Kono Sauvignon Blanc Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:TASTING NOTES: \nA brilliant pale green in the glass\, this pure and bright Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has a vibrant fruit driven nose bursting with passionfruit\, grapefruit\, melon\, and gooseberry. On the palate luscious fruit flavours of citrus\, ripe tropical fruits\, and lifted herbaceous notes are finely balanced with zesty acidity\, an underlying minerality\, and just a hint of residual sweetness. Juicy\, crisp and fresh this wine leads to a long and dry\, persistent finish. – www.kono.co.nz

SUMMARY:Loire Valley Wine Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Do a Google search on the Loire Valley and\, regardless of the main topic\, you’re likely to find that the most common term used to describe the region is “diversity.” From the river’s source in the central mountainous Massif Centrale\, to its mouth at the Bay of Biscay some 620 miles to the west\, the region is rich in biological\, environmental\, architectural\, agricultural and historical abundance\, making the Loire Valley one of the most popular regional tourist destinations in France.  \nThat being the case\, it should come as no surprise that\, of all of the country’s viticultural regions\, the Loire produces the greatest diversity of white\, red and pink sparkling and still wine styles. Interestingly\, the region’s winemakers\, who represent the Loire’s five major sub-regions and more that 60 AOCs\, manage to do so with a relatively small selection of both white and red grapes; primarily Sauvignon Blanc\, Chenin Blanc\, Melon de Bourgogne\, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. What makes such variation possible is the diversity of the region’s climatic conditions\, soils\, topographies and other natural conditions.  \nTo learn more about what makes Loire Valley wines so diverse\, the Colonial Spirits wine team invites you to try a few representative samples at a free tasting this coming Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. We will also be offering a 20% discount on six or more bottles of every Loire white and red in the store from 9:00 am on the 25th until our 6:00 pm closing on the 26th.

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting with Sue
DESCRIPTION:We can never get enough of Sue\, and I know this to be the case for some of our customers\, so it is our pleasure to have her here sampling wines. A fixture at our Grand Tastings and other more memorable events\, Sue has been a long time rep that has created a name for herself in the area. With a following of friends on FB that goes to every tasting she attends\, Sue is one of the more recognizable names from our ever growing rep list. For those that haven’t met her before\, this is a great opportunity to do so. \nAlong with enjoying Sue’s presence\, you will also find yourself enjoying some of the wines she has dubbed ‘great summer sippers.’ Pouring both Rosés and Rieslings\, Sue will demonstrate how great both of these styles are for enjoying during the hot summer days. \nHope to see you there. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:ABC Wine Weekend: Sale & Tasting
DESCRIPTION:A tremendously diverse grape\, Chardonnay has the remarkable ability to mirror the conditions in which it is grown. At the same time\, it is malleable enough to bend to choices made by winemakers. Fermented and aged in American Oak\, it delivers aromas of ripe tropical fruit followed by rich full-bodied vanilla and buttery flavors. Grown in cool climates and fermented in concrete or stainless steel vats\, it becomes dry and zesty\, a perfect accompaniment for a wide variety of foods.  \nGiven these and other attributes\, it is small wonder that Chardonnay is the world’s most popular and widely grown white grape. However\, there was a time not that long ago that a number of wine enthusiasts and producer revolted against what was perceived as the oaky\, fruity\, high alcohol sameness of Chardonnay. With the rallying cry of “anything but Chardonnay” (ABC)\, these individuals began to eschew oak and\, in many cases\, leave Chardonnay altogether in search of other\, less ubiquitous grapes such as Sauvignon Blanc\, Viognier\, and Pinot Gris\, among others. Fortunately for everyone\, the more strident elements of the ABC movement began to mellow while many adherents of the oaky Chardonnay style eased up in pursuit of balance.  \nTo celebrate this return to peaceful coexistence\, the Colonial Spirits wine team has organized a combined sale and tasting of domestic ABC wines\, leaving out Chardonnays not out of disrespect\, but rather in recognition of what the wine industry can accomplish when it branches out. That being the case\, we are offering 20% off on all domestic whites\, except Chardonnay\, this coming weekend. We will also conduct a tasting of a number of non-chards Sunday from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. Join us and raise a glass to the Grand Detante.
