SUMMARY:La Mision Wine Tasting and Bottle Signing
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome winemaker for La Mision\, Cristian Aliaga.\nLa Mision is the brainchild of Domaine William Fevre. Some of you may know the Domaine as it is possibly one of the most recognizable Burgundy wineries. Others may not have heard of them because the winery is based out of Chablis. Taking into account that the climate is changing\, William Fevre set off to look for opportunities in winemaking outside of France. Chile was almost too obvious of a choice. Bent on trying something different\, Fevre went on a search for vineyard sites that were on hillsides. At that time\, the rest of Chile was focused on valley fruit as it offered a tempered climate that was suitable enough for winemaking. Fevre didn’t want suitable enough\, he wanted the PERFECT spot. \nHence the name\, La Mision (the mission in English).\nLa Mision is the age-old idea that terroir matters. An ideology Burgundians don’t take lightly. It was in San Juan that Fevre and his team found the perfect spot. Unluckily\, the vineyard already had an owner. Luckily\, the owner was willing to partner up with Domaine Fevre. Several vintages later here we are talking about the wines and their story. \nThis is not an everyday event and if you can make it\, you should. Unlike trade events where I or others that are equally knowledgeable or more so\, this is an opportunity to hear it from the source. The person who puts a personal touch on the bottles that we see before us. They walk the vineyards\, the taste the grapes\, the sample the wines in the barrel. This is the side of the story you want to hear. \nIf you can make time\, you should make it in. \nHere is a little about Cristian:\n“Winemaker Cristián studied Oenology at Universidad de Chile. He made his first harvests at Errázuriz in Aconcagua Valley. Then he worked for 12 years at Veramonte\, in Casablanca Valley\, becoming Chief Winemaker. During that period he made harvests in other wineries such as Kendall-Jackson\, Paul Hobbs\, Saintsbury and Quintessa in California\, Villa María in New Zealand and Chateau Dillon in Bordeaux\, France. Then he returned to Chile to work in William Fèvre\, looking for new challenges in the new Chilean terroirs.

SUMMARY:E&J Gallo Wines Tasting: La Marca and Louis Martini
DESCRIPTION:Stories have it that what was once a modest winery became a global empire known as E&J Gallo Wines.\nErnest and Julio Gallo lived long enough to see what their company E&J Gallo Wines 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 we will be sampling a couple. \nLa Marca a.k.a the ‘Tiffany Blue’ Prosecco is making waves in the Prosecco market. Its catchy label and easy-drinking bubbles make it an easy choice to make. \nLouis Martini might as well be synonymous with Cabernet Sauvignon. One of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon-focused winery in California that doesn’t seem to be slowing down. \nCheers! \nLooking for a great Cabernet Sauvignon that is sure to please?\nLouis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County

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

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: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:Glendalough Distillery
DESCRIPTION:I am very pleased\, and fortunate\, to have Donal O’Gallachoir hosting a unique Irish Whiskey experience.  Donal is one of the principals at the first craft distillery in Ireland.  Of course\, at one time there were many craft distilleries however\, consolidation and large corporate ownership have shaped distilling in Ireland for a long time. \nGlendalough’s whiskeys bring quality and breadth to what was a ubiquitous category.  If you thought you knew Irish whiskey\, think again.  I was thrilled to learn about the history of distilling in Ireland and to taste spirits that are well outside my expectations.  I hope you will be too. \nTheir newest addition is a gin that offers something very different.  The terroir of the Wicklow Countryside is ’embottled’ using fresh foragings and a traditional (for whiskey) cooper pot still. \nJoin us for an Irish whiskey experience\, December 15th from 4-7pm.

SUMMARY:Glendalough - Ireland's Craft Whiskey Distillery
DESCRIPTION:Glendalough is a unique distillery and a standout in the world of craft distilling.  Their whiskies are becoming more well known and represent Irish Whiskey making heritage with very excellent single malts.  Their newest addition is a gin that offers something very different.  The terroir of the Wicklow Countryside is ’embottled’ using fresh foragings and a traditional (for whiskey) cooper pot still.

SUMMARY:New Zealand Weekend + Tasting
DESCRIPTION:New Zealand is one of the most isolated wine producing regions on the planet. It’s also one of the smallest\, accounting for less than 1% of the world crop. In spite of such apparent disadvantages\, the Kiwis manage to sell two thirds of their crop in the world market. Obviously\, they’re doing something right. \nTo find out what that might be\, stop by the store this Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 pm and sample some New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs\, the wine that put the country’s wine industry on the map. If you already know about and appreciate the crystalline flavors and bracing acidity that make New Zealand’s outstanding white unique\, you can also take advantage of our Saturday and Sunday 20% discount on six or more bottles on every New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in the store.

SUMMARY:The 'Naked' Grape Tasting
DESCRIPTION:The Naked Grape is a a rebirth in a concept that has been around for many years; wines that display the characteristics of only its varietal; no oak\, no nonsense.  Simple wines that are never put in oak so that the wine is all about the grape varietals and less about the oak.  This is a great way to try ‘unoaked’ wines if you never have\, or a opportunity to experience something new.  And at $6.99 you really can’t go wrong. \nEnjoy!
