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

Beer\, liquor\, wine\, and mixed drinks will be sampled throughout the afternoon. Take a step outside and you will find one of our very own manning the grill along with favorite yard games. Bocce anyone? We may bring back cornhole as well\, but now I’m getting ahead of myself. \nInstead of stating the reasons you should go\, I’m going to say\, “GO!” Life is about making memories\, so why not make one with us. \nThe line-up: \nTito’s Vodka — 1-4 pm \nCleveland Underground — 1-5 pm \nStirring’s Cocktail Mixers — 1-5 pm \nHouse Bear Brewing Mead — 1:30-5 pm \nJack’s Abby Craft Lagers — \nNight Shift Brewing — \nTrue North Ale Company– \n

SUMMARY:Fess Parker Winery Wine Tasting at Great Road Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:We have teamed up once again with Great Road Kitchen to host a Fess Parker Winery wine tasting.\nFounded in 1988\, Fess Parker Winery was a retreat from the Hollywood life for Mr. Parker. (Some may have recognized the name but for those that didn’t\, Fess Parker was the actor that played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. Here is a link to a few YouTube videos: Davy Crockett & Daniel Boone). Searching for a peaceful plot of land\, Fess Parker fell in love with what is now the eponymous winery. Few bottles of wine later\, and FP Winery and its other labels are at the helm of the wine world. \nUnlike so many celebrity wines\, FP Winery is first and foremost a winery. A winery of brick and mortar that is surrounded by premier vineyard sites with a crush\, barrel\, and guest room. The winemaker may be Fess’ son Eli\, but he was the assistant winemaker to none other than Jed Steele before taking on the title of head winemaker. Eli and his team have honed on a house style; California meets Europe\, some would say. \nThe wines for the dinner haven’t picked out yet\, but as soon as they are it will be posted here. \n \nGreat wine deserves great food and few do it better than Great Road Kitchen.\nWith only a few years at The Point in Littleton\, GRK has already solidified themselves as the place to go. Focused on fresh food\, GRK sources locally when possible so that their menu is exciting and filled with flavor. The menu changes regularly and with the seasons\, and the quality of their dishes is something you can count on. \nThe menu for the dinner hasn’t been set yet\, but as soon as it is it will get posted here. \nTo RSVP reach out to Great Road Kitchen either by calling at 978.952.7333 or emailing at info@grkoysters.com \nThis will be a night of great food\, phenomenal wines\, and good times.\nMenu:

SUMMARY:1634 Meadery: Turning Honey into Wine
DESCRIPTION:On the 6th day\, there was honey and shortly after Mead. At least that is how 1634 Meadery would have you believe it.\n1634 Meadery has taken one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known to man and has made it ‘cool’ again if you ask us. What was once a specialty drink is slowly turning into a mainstay and 1634 is leading the way. If you are new to mead the Raspberry Delight might be the place to start. However\, for those that want mead to flow like water\, the Viking Victory is where it is at. Regardless of your knowledge for or experience with mead\, 1634 has the bases covered. \nThese are some of the best meads in MA and they prove it with each and every bottle. Come and see for yourself. \nCheck out their YouTube Channel

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.

SUMMARY:Titos Vodka
DESCRIPTION:Tito’s Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs and everyday drinkers alike. It is micro distilled in an old-fashioned pot still\, just like fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs. This time-honored method of distillation requires more skill and effort than modern column stills\, but it’s well worth it.

SUMMARY:Wente Vineyards the Chardonnay Specialist
DESCRIPTION:Wente Vineyards has a history of winemaking as prestigious as the California winemaking industry.\nOne of the first wineries established\, Wente Vineyards cut its teeth early on in more ways than one. However\, what truly put Wente on the map was the creation of the Wente clone Chardonnay. \nOne of the greatest untold tidbits of information is that not all Chardonnays are the same. It is clear to most that the winemaker and region makes a difference\, but how many know about clonal variation. From 667 to Wente\, the different clones of Chardonnay impart their own nuances on the wine. The Wente family found the now eponymously named clone in France and discovered it suited the California climate. Fast forward to today and the Wente clone is responsible for 80% of the Chardonnay coming out of Cali. \nWente Vineyards specializes in Chardonnay and it is easy to see why.\nTheir wines manage to balance full tropical fruits with well-managed oak and fresh acidity the way good wine was meant to. This description also holds true for the reds. Easy drinking and meant to entice the palate and coax you into having more. But you don’t have to believe me. Just stop by and taste for yourself why Wente Vineyard is the real king of Chardonnay.

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:Have you heard of Fig Vodka?
DESCRIPTION:Craft distilling is is why these vodkas are worth getting excited about.  Michael Davidson created the now famous Black Fig Vodka in the midst of a proliferation of flavored vodkas.  His process – avoiding syrup and flavor additives – has demonstrated true craftsmanship and earned his product its fame while others faded away. \nNow this local producer is bringing out the first Apricot Vodka in the market and has\, once again\, proved exceptional quality. \nThe flavor choices may seem unusual but there is a reason and\, once you’ve tried them\, you will be easily convinced that these are a great choice. \nMichael will be presenting his incredible vodkas and cocktails from 4-7pm.
