SUMMARY:Big Red Winter Grand Tasting Part 2
DESCRIPTION:This is it\, the last Grand Tasting of the year\, can you believe it? Neither can I. In case you can’t recall\, we covered white\, sparklers\, and rosés in the spring\, heartier whites and light reds in the fall\, and are now going to go through around 100 different bottles of red over two weekends for our winter Grand Tasting. This is our most attended event of the year and one we all look forward to. There is something about red wines that makes us giddy. It could be the abundance of fruit\, or the age-ability\, or re-experiencing an old favorite\, whatever it may be\, red wine is king of wines. \nReminiscent of our past Grand Red tastings\, we will be pushing the boundaries by having available about 50 bottles of DIFFERENT reds per weekend for our attendees to try. Each weekend will be unique so it would be nice if you could make it to both weekends\, but is by no means necessary. And we will cover all the bases as far as types\, styles\, varietals\, prices\, and appellations are concerned. \nLike past events\, we will have our Grand Tastings discount activate. For those that don’t know what that discount is\, it is get 10% off of 6-11 bottles of wines\, or get 25% off of 12+ bottles of wine. This discount is only applicable to the wines showcased at either weekend. You can mix and match between weekends if you happen to be able to make it to both. Sale wines\, that are showcased at the tastings\, count towards you total number of bottles but do not get discounted any further. \nWe will also have finger food available for your walking around pleasure. \nCome alone\, come with a friend or family member\, or come with a group of people. More importantly\, just come. \nHope to see everyone there. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Bordeaux Weekend - Sale and Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Often simply called Bordeaux\, France’s most famous wine region is actually comprised of upwards of 35 different sub-regions and 57 AOCs (appellation d’origine contrôlée or “controlled designation of origin”). Divided by the Gironde Estuary and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers\, Bordeaux is best known as the home of Château Latour\, Château Margaux\, Margaux\, Château Haut-Brion\, Château Mouton Rothschild\, and other wines prized by wealthy collectors and sell for hundreds\, if not thousands\, of dollars a bottle. \nWhat many wine consumers don’t know\, however\, is that most Bordeaux wines cost less than $20 dollars a bottle\, and there are lesser known chateaus from the Haut-Médoc\, Saint Émilion\, and other top AOCs that go for between $25 and $35. Using the same grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon\, Merlot and Cabernet Franc – and governed by the same regulations as the top producers\, Bordeaux’s many small chateaux make excellent wines that are often overlooked simply because they lack the marketing\, distribution power\, and name recognition of the big houses. \nThis coming weekend\, the Colonial Spirits wine team will try to rectify this situation by offering every red Bordeaux in the store at a 20% discount on six or more bottles. This offer includes generic Bordeaux to top AOCs. In addition\, customers will also have the opportunity to sample Cru Bourgeois\, Bordeaux Supérieur\, and other regional classification level wines at our Sunday tasting that will be taking place from 1-4 PM to see how much they have to offer in terms of taste and value.

SUMMARY:Advantage International Importer Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Advantage International Wine Importer has taken the snobbery out of wine but in a good way. Wine has long been considered to be the prestigious alcoholic beverage\, with many bottles catching well into the $10K per bottle. So it is easy to see why so many people can get overwhelmed by it. Advantage International took this into consideration and decided to do away with snobby wines and instead focus on down to earth wines that represent themselves and not million-year-old dinosaur bones. The wines are unpretentious\, easy going\, easy drinking\, and\, more importantly\, budget conscious. So if good wines with good pedigrees that don’t cost an arm and a leg is what you are looking for? Look no further. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Annual Thanksgiving Dinner and Wine Tasting w/ Sue
DESCRIPTION:This has become one of the most talked about wine tasting events we have\, and one of the most fun to put together. It isn’t because we make it easy to pick out wines to pair with Thanksgiving dinner\, or because they will be available at a great price\, no. It is because of Sue. Although tasting good wines is fun\, Sue has a personality that is contagious and brings people back. Another reason why you shouldn’t miss this event is that Sue brings in a full-fledged Thanksgiving Dinner. From mashed potatoes to turkey\, Sue has the whole spread available for nibbling while tasting wines that flourish in the setting. If you are looking for a little Thanksgiving inspiration than our shop is the place for you. Hope to see everyone there. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Southern Italian Reds Weekend Part 2
DESCRIPTION:With approximately 350 officially recognized wine styles and as many as 2000 grape varieties\, Italy can present a confusing picture to even the most dedicated wine buffs. This is especially true of Sicily and Sardinia\, the country’s two most potentially promising wine producing regions. That this should be the case is due in large part to history and politics. As far back as pre-Roman times\, both islands shipped wines throughout the Mediterranean region. Over the intervening centuries\, however\, and even up to the post-WWII period\, wine production\, and to some extent quality in both regions declined. \nThus\, while foreign markets starting to embrace Chianti\, Barolo\, Pinot Grigio\, Lambrusco\, and other mainland wines\, the wines and grapes of the two islands languished in obscurity. It is only in the last 20 years or so that dedicated winemakers have begun to take advantage of Sicily’s and Sardinia’s Mediterranean temperatures\, hours of sunshine\, and soil types to create wines of power and character. \nThis coming weekend\, Colonial Spirits will be offering the red wines of Sicily and Sardinia at a 20% discount on six or more bottles. In addition\, we will be conducting a tasting of wines from the two regions from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Sunday\, the 22nd. With Thanksgiving around the corner\, you might find one of these wines to be a great accompaniment to your holiday meal.

SUMMARY:Finca Hispana Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Finca Hispana is a cooperative\, but unlike most\, its main priority is to glorify Spanish wines by producing high-quality wines. One would think that quality is directly related to cost\, but in this case it’s not. The wines from Finca Hispana\, at least those being tasted this weekend\, are all less than $15 per bottle but deliver as if they were $20+. How is this possible? I wish I had the answer\, but Peter Deutsch\, the man behind the brand\, does. Peter will be here this afternoon to taste through some of his wines and open our minds to the world of wonder that is Spanish wines. This is a great event to not only broaden your horizon\, if you aren’t familiar with wine from Spain\, but also to stock up on some great wines. Think stocking stuffer\, at the dinner table\, or party as their are few wines as good for as little dough. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Merriam Wines with Peter Merriam
DESCRIPTION:We are once again honored to have Peter Merriam at our store pouring wines from his vineyard. Peter is a local boy that had big dreams and saw them through. With a knack for winemaking and a gift for understanding what the consumer wants. Peter and his winemaking team have been producing some of the most interesting wines to come out of Sonoma\, and if you have had these wines in the past you know exactly what I mean. Had Miles from Sideways the movie tried Merriam’s Merlot then none of his rants would have occurred. Too bad he didn’t\, would have saved a lot of time. Luckily for us we will have the opportunity to try some great wines from Merriam Vineyards. Hope to see you all there. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Southern Italy Sale and Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Most wine enthusiasts today are familiar with the wines of Tuscany\, the Piedmont\, Lombardy and other northern regions of Italy. In ancient times\, however\, Southern Italy was the center of the wine world\, thanks to the efforts of Greek colonists who introduced grapes and winemaking techniques to regions of what most people know today as the foot of the Italian boot. \nWith the fall of the Roman Empire\, however\, southern wine production\, along with the region’s economy\, entered a period of decline that has persisted up to today. The good news is that the grapes introduced by the ancient Greeks are still grown\, and talented southern winemakers are producing fabulous wines\, some of which rival the greats of the north in quality and price\, if not notoriety. \nTo help make up for that lack\, the Colonial Spirits wine team is holding a 20% off sale of six or more bottles of the red wines from four of Southern Italy’s top regions\, Campania\, Puglia\, Basilicata\, and Molise. The sale starts are 9:00 am this coming Saturday and ends at 6:00 pm Sunday. Customers are also invited to sample a selection of the sale wines at a tasting event from 1:00 – 4:00 on Sunday. Join us and take advantage of this opportunity to learn about and purchase some of the finest red wines that Italy has to offer.

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting with Peter Spann from Spann Vineyards
DESCRIPTION:We are once again blessed to have Peter Spann stop by and grace us with his presence. Last year’s tasting with Peter was such as success he asked our distributor if he could stop by and pour some wine at our shop once again. And who are we to say\, no. If you met Peter last year and took advantage of some of the email deals we had then you can remember how good his wines are. If you have yet to try the wines from Spann Vineyards or have yet to meet Peter\, you are in for a real treat. Spann Vineyards is a Sonoma-based winery that focuses on making small batches of some interesting\, but still fantastic wines. Spann Vineyards has everything from a Chardonnay and Viognier blend to your everyday California Cab Sauv. These are always a treat because meeting the winemaker or winery owner\, in this case\, doesn’t happen all the time. \n  \nHope to see you all there.

SUMMARY:Rhone and Rhone Style Wine Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Although they share the same river\, the Northern and Southern Rhône Valley are quite different in terms of climate\, soils\, topography\, and grape varieties. There are also significant price differences between the wines of the two areas\, with those of the North being more expensive. The Southern Rhone\, on the other hand\, is much more important in terms of quantity. Not only does the region produce more than 53 million gallons of wine annually\, its appellations — from Côtes du Rhône Villages to Gigondas and Chateauneuf du Pape are known for their quality and value. \nIndeed\, the wines of the Southern Rhône are so popular that producers in other regions\, most notably California and Australia\, have adopted its grapes and winemaking techniques. To celebrate the Southern Rhône\, Colonial Spirits will be offering a 20% discount on six or more bottles of every wine from the area this coming Saturday and Sunday. The same discount also applies to those produced by “Rhône Rangers” in California and Australia. Finally\, for customers interested in trying before buying\, the wine team will be conducting a tasting of selected Rhone wines\, as well as those of similar style from other regions\, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Sunday the 25th. We look forward to seeing you there. \n

SUMMARY:Wente Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Wente is a unique story\, but what is more unique than the story are the wines. The wines are predominantly from the Livermore Valley\, which is an AVA within the San Francisco Bay AVA (Central Coast AVA). Wente wines showcase beautiful restraint when it comes to oak and fruit\, and have just enough acidity to balance the riper fruit characters and make your mouth water. For those that don’t know the brand\, this tasting is a great opportunity to become familiarized with it\, for those that do know the brand; it’s free wine. Either way\, everyone wins! So stop by and try an old favorite\, that has changed the everyday wine landscape for the better.

SUMMARY:Fall Harvest Grand Tasting Part 2
DESCRIPTION:This is the second half of our much anticipated Harvest Grand Tasting. This is one of our larger events that allows us to showcase what we have been up to in the Spring and Summer. As some of you may remember\, this is a two-part event because of how big it has become. We will have open and will be pouring around 50 bottles of wine per weekend\, with not one bottle being open on both weekends. This means that each weekend is unique and each one is worth showing up to. Our focus for these events will be light to medium bodied wines and fuller whites. These are wines that give off a bit of heat but are light enough to pair with the cooler autumn days. As always\, we will have finger foods available\, but more importantly\, the event is free. So mark your calendars and make it a point to stop by and enjoy some great wines in good company. \nCarpe Vinum! \nSome of the wines we will be pouring… \nDr. Pauly Bergweiler Wehlener Riesling Spatlese \nAttems Pinot Grigio Ramato Venezia-Giulia \nMasi Campofiorin Rosso Veronese \nDom Carneros by Taittinger Brut NV \nDom Zind-Humbrecht Dry Muscat Alsace \n  \nIl Feuduccio Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo \nDr. Fischer Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett \nMeiomi Chardonnay California \nCanella Bellini \nSt. Hallett “Gamekeeper’s” Red Barossa \nMAN Vinter’s Cab Sauv Coastal Region \n  \nTwo Lands Shiraz \nAllegrini ‘Palazzo della Torre’ Rosso Veronese \nPieropan Soave Classico \nMaison l’Envoye Bourgogne Blanc \nSokol Blosser ‘Evolution’ White \nMarques de Murrieta Rioja Reserva \n  \nMartin Codax Albarino \nMartin Codaz ‘Ergo’ Rioja \nMaso Canali Pinot Grigio Trentino \nLa Marca Prosecco \nDaVinci Chianti \nEdna Valley Sauvignon Blanc \n  \nFazio ‘Aegades’ Grillo Sicily \nDecugnano dei Barbi ‘Villa Barbi’ Orvieto Classico \nBranko ‘Capo’ Bianco Collio \nSchug Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast \nCacchiano Chianti Classico \nVilla Gemma Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo \n  \nVigneron de Buxy Bourgogne Blanc Cotes Chalonnaise \nVigneron de Buxy Bourgogne Rouge Cotes Chalonnaise \nDomaine de la Chaize Brouilly \nWaterbrook Pinot Gris Columbia Vly \nFeudi de San Gregorio Falaghina Campania \nCh Fonfroide Rouge Bordeaux \n  \nArmas de Guerra Blanco \nArmas de Guerra Tinto \nLa Columna Albariño \nNaveran Cava Brut Nature NV \nCortijo Rioja \nBerroia Txacoli

SUMMARY:Malbec Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Not since the California Chardonnay boom of the 1990s has the wine industry experience a New World success to match the popularity of Argentine Malbecs\, the grape that put Argentina on the wine map and helped make the country the world’s fifth largest wine producer. \nWhat most wine enthusiasts don’t know\, however\, is that the Malbec grape originated in France\, either Bordeaux or Burgundy\, but it is Cahors that Malbec calls home. Cahors produces an excellent wine made from a minimum of 70% ‘Cot’\, as the grape is called locally\, but Argentina’s success has led some French producers to prominently display the word “Malbec” on their labels. \nIn any event\, customers will have the opportunity to stock up on Malbecs from both countries this coming weekend with a 20% discount on six or more bottles. In addition\, there will also be a Malbec tasting on Sunday the 11th from 1 pm to 4 PM.

SUMMARY:Sangiovese Wine Weekend
DESCRIPTION:It’s safe to say that even people who rarely drink wine have sampled or at least know the name Chianti. Strangely enough\, however\, few wine enthusiasts are familiar with Sangiovese\, the grape from which Chianti\, and a number of other Italian wines\, is made\, either as the sole grape or as part of a blend. This lack of awareness is due to a number of factors\, starting with the fact that Sangiovese\, the most widely planted grape in Italy\, is known by many different names; Brunello\, Prugnolo Gentile\, and Nielluccio being just a few. \nIt is in Tuscany\, however\, where Sangiovese reigns supreme and it is that area that the Colonial Sprits wine team has chosen to feature in this coming weekend’s World Wine Regions sale and tasting. As is the case with every regional wine event\, every Sangiovese-based wine in the store will be available at a 20% discount for six or more bottles. We will also be conducting a tasting of a few featured wines on Sunday the 27th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting w/ John Grange
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Hand Picked Selections wine tasting\, a tasting where the wine comes first. Hand Picked Selections is known for wines like Laurent Perrier\, Commanderie de la Bargemone Rose\, and Puydeval. All these wines represent more than the labels that are plastered on them\, or the locations they are from\, in fact each one of these wines tells a story. A story of a time when… or a place in which… or a person whom… The wines that Hand Picked Selections represent are some of the purest wines\, and the truest expression of terroir. This is a tasting not to be missed. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Advantage International Importer Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Advantage International Wine Importer has taken the snobbery out of wine but in a good way. Wine has long been considered to be the prestigious alcoholic beverage\, with many bottles catching well into the $10K per bottle. So it is easy to see why so many people can get overwhelmed by it. Advantage International took this into consideration and decided to do away with snobby wines and instead focus on down to earth wines that represent themselves and not million-year-old dinosaur bones. The wines are unpretentious\, easy going\, easy drinking\, and\, more importantly\, budget conscious. So if good wines with good pedigrees that don’t cost an arm and a leg is what you are looking for? Look no further. \nCarpe Vinum!

SUMMARY:Alsace Weekend 08/08-08/09
DESCRIPTION:  \nImagine that you have been transported to a wine region in Northern Europe bordered by the Rhine River.  The towns and villages have names like Heiligenstein\, Kirchheim\, and Zellenberg\, and Riesling is the dominant grape. Given the circumstances\, you’d probably think that you were in Germany\, but you would be wrong. The place is Alsace\, and although it has been occupied by Germany at various times throughout history\, the region\, its spirit and wines are decidedly French. \nHowever\, unlike the other wine producing regions of the country\, and most of Europe for that matter\, the wines of Alsace (predominantly white except for some Pinot Noir) are named for the grape varieties from which they are made\, i.e.\, Riesling\, Pinot Gris\, Pinot Blanc\, Sylvaner\, Muscat\, and Gewurztraminer. \nThis Saturday and Sunday\, every Alsatian wine in the store will be on sale at a 20% discount for six or more bottles. In addition\, there will be a tasting of Rieslings and other white wines of the region from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Sunday. \nOne last note\, people who think that Rieslings are sweet have probably never had the Alsatian variety\, which are dry. Even the region’s late harvest and Sauterne styles have a steely backbone unique to Riesling that adds a distinctive complexity to the overall flavor profile. So if you’ve never tried Alsatian wines\, or are a fan of what the region has to offer\, stop by the store this weekend.
