SUMMARY:Privateer: MA's finest Rums (and Gin)
DESCRIPTION:Made in Ipswich\, MA at a small\, craft distillery Privateer is what rum should be.  The silver rum bears no resemblance to the harsh\, phenol flavor of many others.  It is smooth and mixable while showing the true potential of fine rum… Lightly floral with notes of sweet basil\, anise\, cotton candy\, and a hint of butterscotch culminating in a silky finish.\nTheir Amber rum bucks the trend of over-sweet\, spiciness showing rich flavor and complexity similar to fine Bourbon Whiskey.  This rum is exceptionally smooth and round with waves of orange citrus\, sandalwood\, leather\, cinnamon and spice\, and a lingering and silky finish. \nRelatively new to the market is their exceptional gin.  A new western style with bright citrus notes and a fresh aroma\, this gin is wonderfully refreshing.

SUMMARY:Goldschmidt Vineyards Wine Tasting w/ Vic
DESCRIPTION:Goldschmidt Vineyards may not be as recognizable as other wineries from Napa\, but their impact is almost as great.\nGoldschmidt Vineyards has a long history of providing top-notch fruit for some of the most revered wineries in Napa Valley. After years of farming and seeing their neighbors reap the benefits\, they decided to create their own label. That is when GV was born. Fast forward a few years into the present\, and Goldschmidt has outgrown Napa Valley. With so many unused vineyards showing so much untapped potential\, Nick and Yolyn decided to expand. Now with a cornucopia of different labels under their guidance\, GV has become a household name. \nThe GV wines are made for the people and that is evident in every bottle. Rich reds\, flavorful whites\, and long\, lush finishes are the hallmarks of most of their wines. Easy drinking whether you want them with food or as standalone sippers. \nTo present a handful of their wines this evening is Vic\, founder of Vic Zelinsky Assoc.\nOne of the more distinguished wine importers in Mass\, Vic has made a name for himself with brands like Clos du Bois\, Catena\, Crios and now Goldschmidt Vineyards. So we can say that he knows his way around wine. Also\, outside of the winemakers who better to present the GV wines than the man who brought them to our attention. \nSo if you like good wines and plenty of information about them\, stop by as Vic is your source for both. And we are fortunate enough to host him for the evening.

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

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: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: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: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:Plymouth Gin
DESCRIPTION:Plymouth Gin\, although lesser known than some others\, is a fantastic London dry gin with a more rounded and earthly flavor than is typical of the style.  It is a fine cocktail base and we’ll have some easy made samples to try.

SUMMARY:Grand Wine Tastings: Spring 2018
DESCRIPTION:Finally in writing are 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:Plymouth Gin
DESCRIPTION:Plymouth Gin\, although lesser known than some others\, is a fantastic London dry gin with a more rounded and earthly flavor than is typical of the style.  It is a fine cocktail base and we’ll have some easy made samples to try.

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:How Good are Bruichladdich's Single Malts? (Very Good!)
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret that Bruichladdich is a favorite at Colonial Spirits… that’s because their whisky is so good.  It’s the best single malt line up that you never hear about.  They are a rare producer of un-peated Islay single malt and have an unusual focus on the terroir.  But\, you love peated whisky? Their Port Charlotte line is the peated goodness you are seeking.  It’s a great story of age-old production and superior quality.  I could go on\, but why when you can taste for yourself… \nJason Cousins is hosting 2 presentations\, with an amazing line-up that includes some specialty items (Bere Barley\, The Organic\, Octomore 8.1).  The first seminar begins at 5:30p and the second at 6:30p \nDon’t miss this fantastic\, free event.  RSVP to Tim to reserve your spot.

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. \nHere is a quick list of a few wines we will be sampling: \nGuidobono Sparkling Nebbiolo\nSigalas White Blend Santorini\nCasale Cesanese Lazio\nColene Clemens Dopp Creek Pinot Noir Willamette Valley\nLa Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza\nGobelsburg Gruner Veltliner\nMauro Molino Barbera d’Alba\nLoosen Urziger Wurzgarten “Fischerei” Kabinett\nFour Virtues “Bourbon Barrel Aged” Zinfandel \nClick Here for other opportunities to learn\n

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:The Most Classic\, Classic Malts
DESCRIPTION:Of the ‘Classic Malts’\, a short list of well known single malts\, the 2 most classic are Oban 14yr and Lagavulin 16yr.  Why?\, you ask.  Well\, because they are the best… and because these are the two that we are sampling. \nSeriously\, both of these scotches are really good and really are classic examples of single malt.  Oban represents the Highlands and is wonderfully flavorful and slightly briny.  Lagavulin is the peat mammoth of the group but has a rich mouthfeel and great depth. \nOur presenter is a seasoned whisky ambassador and brings quite a few years of experience to the table.  Don’t miss this chance to experience two classic single malts and learn more than a few things from a true whisky expert\, Randall Byrd.

SUMMARY:Craft Single Malt Scotch with Ed Kohl
DESCRIPTION:It’s been many years since I’ve been able to have scotch enthusiast / importer Ed Kohl visit our store.  Ed has been importing craft single malts for a long time and has brought us some exceptional whisky over the years (Kilchoman\, anyone?) \nHis most recent discovery is Spey – a little known craft distillery from… yes\, Speyside\, Scotland.  The impressively clean and light style of the whisky is accented by careful barrel choices and delicate aging.  It’s exciting to have a new single malt in our collection and even more exciting to have Ed show it and tell his story.  He is a true connoisseur and a gentleman. \nEd will be presenting 5:30pm and 6:45pm – showing the Spey line\, plus a couple of surprises.  Don’t miss this chance to discover something new. \nThe seminars are free but please reserve your spot by emailing Tim.

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
