SUMMARY:Pre-Valentine's Day Tasting
DESCRIPTION:In preparation for the Hallmark holiday\, we’re having a tasting with some beers that share the flavors of the usual Valentine’s day gifts.  Lindeman’s makes some of the best fruit added sour/funky beers and has for centuries.  We will have two of their berry varients\, Kriek and Framboise.  To go with the berries\, we’ll have Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate stout.  This stout has a Tootsie Roll style chocolate flavor that pairs well with deserts as well as fresh fruit.  Come try them all along side of tasty food pairings to see if this is what your Valentine would like.

SUMMARY:Wente Vineyards Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:One of the original wineries that established itself as one of the wineries to never forget. You may not know it\, but Wente Vineyards is who we have to thank for the majority of the Chardonnay we drink today. Creators of the Wente Clone Chardonnay solidified Wente Vineyard importance to the California Wine Industry and the market at large. To this day Wente wines are perceived as some of the best expressions of the eponymously named clone\, but tasting is believing. \nSo stop by and taste for yourself why Wente Vineyard isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

SUMMARY:Stony Creek
DESCRIPTION:Stony Creek hasn’t even been in Massachusetts for a full year and they are already popping up everywhere.  Beautiful logos\, interesting styles and a strong command of hops\, these Connecticut brewers are not trying to fly away anytime soon.  Just in time for our tasting\, they have just released Stony Joe\, a golden mocha stout.  Golden stouts are going to start popping up more and more.  They are just what they sound like\, a stout that pours golden yellow.  It’s a style I am still figuring out\, so get in on the early days to say you’ve had one.   On top of Stony Joe\, we’ll be tasting the Crankys in varying sizes.

SUMMARY:Merriam Vyds Wine Dinner at The Red Raven
DESCRIPTION:Background:\nMerriam Vineyards is a winery located in Sonoma County AVA in the town of Healdsburg. Started by Peter Merriam\, a local boy\, and his wife Diana\, Merriam Vineyards was a long-time love affair come true. Years and countless bottles later and what you have is a premier winery known for pronounced red wines and balanced whites. \nThe Merriam wines have always shown well at tastings so we thought that pairing them with food\, wine’s eternal partner\, would only elevate them further. With Red Raven’s executive chef’s\, Dean Szablewski \, experience and ingenuity we should all be in for a night to remember. \nTickets are $75 per. The ticket price includes 5 courses paired with 5 wines. *Gratuity and Tax not included. RSVP by either calling 978.274.2231 or email info@redravenacton.com

SUMMARY:Spanish Sidra w/ Ken
DESCRIPTION:Sunday is the Superbowl and our Patriots are on the march for another trophy and set of rings.  And with football comes a few tasty drinks.  And no Sunday necessitates fine libations more than the Superbowl.  We have some great beer sales going on right now in honor of the games which you should come and check out\, but while you are here on Sunday we will also have the knowledgeable Ken Zuckerman here to pour out some of the most unique ciders in the store. \nSpain has two regions for cider\, Asturias and Basque\, both in the north.  While Basque sidras  have a good name in the United States\, Asturias produces the bulk of the countries sidras.  Ken will be pairing select sidras from Asturias with some delicious artisan chocolates.  He will be pouring two sparkling sidras\, Riesta Guzman and Angelon.  You might remeber these from when he did a tasting last time.  While made of apples\, these can easily replace any sparkling wine.  Diamantes de Hielo by Grusifas is ice cider with a deep amber color.  A great desert drink.  Finally we will do a fan favor Sidra de Pera from Angelon. \n

SUMMARY:One Earth Fundraising at Gallery 529
DESCRIPTION:“Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit.”\nGallery 529 of Littleton\, in conjunction with the Gallery Café\, is pleased to announce a new juried art show and fundraising effort to benefit Loaves and Fishes of Ayer. Based on the proverb\, “He who tends a fig tree shall eat its fruit” the  Gallery Café and Gallery 529 are planning a two week focus on ways we can all work to save our planet\, so it can continue to provide for all of us. \nThe two-week event starts on Saturday\,  January 14th\, from 7 to 9 pm.  Food will be provided by the Gallery Café.\nColonial Spirits of Acton assisted by Sue Nordberg will be hosting a wine tasting promoting organic wines. There will be live music\, crafts to make\, and delicious food\, all to benefit a worthy local cause. \nAccording to Gallery and Café owner Virginia Wood\, “Lately\, I have been feeling like I need to do more to help protect the environment. This event is the beginning of a series of events to focus on critical issues which will culminate with a call to action delineating a series of simple tasks folks can do to help. I just don’t think we can sit back any longer…too much is at stake. The old adage\, ‘Think Globally and Act Locally’ will be our focus of 2017\, and we hope the greater community will join us.” \nThe artists of Gallery 529\, of whom there are 30 member artists\, are also supporting the theme by creating artwork from recycled or up-cycled materials. Nancy Burke\, a glass artist from Marlboro\, makes beautiful cheese boards from recycled melted wine and champagne bottles. Jewelry artist Diane Delgado from Carlisle\, MA.\, will be highlighting her etched copper jewelry made from upcycled copper flashing. Townsend artist Nancy French makes warm boiled wool mittens from up-cycled sweaters. Local artists are also encouraged to get involved in the juried art show\, which will run for the last two weeks of January. There will be no entry fees to encourage more folks to enter and support the good work of Loaves and Fishes. \nThe Gallery Café\, during the two weeks of the event\, will be donating 10% of its food sales to Loaves and Fishes. Gallery 529 will also donate 10% of its sales during the two weeks to Loaves and Fishes.\nColonial Spirits of Acton 87 Great Road www.colonialspirits.com\, will have a box where their customers can make donations of non-perishable food and toiletry items for Loaves and Fishes throughout the month of January. \nTickets purchased will also support the good work of Loaves and Fishes – $20 of every ticket sold will go directly to the organization. \nOn January 21\, or very soon thereafter\, we also hope to host a monthly call to action lecture and discussion\, where folks can get involved to help on local initiatives. More information on that to follow! For more information\, contact Virginia Wood at Gallery 529. 978-486-0187 or vwood@gallery529.com.

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting w/ Ken and Lee
DESCRIPTION:We have once again teamed up with Ken Hoggins from Ken’s Wine Guide and Lee from Wineseller Ltd. for an afternoon packed with good wines. \nAs some of you may know\, Ken has been a long time supporter of ours and us of his. Over the years our relationship has grown cultivating in opportunities like this\, the Power’s Gallery event\, and those to come. Ken is a wine critic that is locally based and has a palate that will compete with the best. His style of wine is balanced and smooth with some extra weight on fruit. His palate has yet to steer him wrong\, and with an award under his belt for best Wine Blog\, I don’t foresee him slowing down anytime soon. If you haven’t visited his page yet\, you should (click on the link above). \nLee heads Winesellers Ltd.\, an importer\, for Massachusetts if not further. With a solid grasp and understanding of wine\, Lee can throw punches with the rest of them. Wineseller Ltd is focused on wines that represent wines that offer quality and value\, e.g. Zuccardi\, Quinta de la Rosa\, and Georg Albrecht just to name a few. Unlike many\, Lee is more than just a sales rep in the wine industry\, he is a true wine advocate. With more than enough miles under his belt\, Lee is here to teach the world how to enjoy good wine one bottle at a time. \nThese are the wines that will be sampled: \nRed:\nZuccardi Q Tempranillo 2011\nZucardi Tito 2014 \nWhite:\nThanisch Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett 2015\nGeorg Albrecht Schneider Niersteiner Hipping Riesling Spatlese 2013\nVinum White Elephant 2014 \nFortified:\nQuinta de la Rosa Porto LBV 2011\n\n*Click on the links to see Ken’s Review of that wine*\n\n-Swirl\, Sniff\, & Sip

SUMMARY:Dovetail Sake Tasting
DESCRIPTION:I am extremely excited for this tasting as these Sakes are the real deal. The best part? They are produced right here in MA. \nTodd Bellomy\, head brewer at Dovetail\, honed his art in Japan and brought here to Massachusetts with one thing in mind\, freshness. Because most of the Sakes available to us are either from Japan\, California or Oregon they aren’t as fresh as they could be. He wanted to change this by producing actual Sake using traditional methods and getting it to restaurants and retailers as fresh as possible. I would keep going on the subject but I wouldn’t do it nearly as much justice as the Boston Magazine did with the article Drink This Now: Nakahama Junmai\, by Dovetail Sake. (<– Link) \nIf that article doesn’t get you I bet anything the product will. \n*Swirl\, Sniff\, & Sip

SUMMARY:Ardbeg - Taste the smoke!
DESCRIPTION:Scotch fans\, it’s Ardbeg time…  Revered around the world as the peatiest\, smokiest\, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance.  Typically most whiskies are chill-filtered and reduced to a strength of 40% ABV. Ardbeg Ten Years Old\, however\, is non chill-filtered and has a strength of 46% ABV\, thus retaining maximum flavour\, at the same time giving more body and added depth.

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.
