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: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.

SUMMARY:Wither Hills & Sophora Wine Tasting w/ Liz
DESCRIPTION:We welcome back our favorite Kiwi\, Liz\, who will be representing Wither Hills and Sophora wines.\nIn a not too distant past\, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was anything but known. Now we can’t seem to get enough of it. Some wineries rely on their legacy for continued growth\, while others put it all on the table. Wither Hills is the latter. \nOnce a source of Sauvignon Blanc for some of the wineries of today\, Wither Hills has decided that producing their own wines was going to be the plan going forward. The Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and palate enticing. The Pinot Noir is lush with lean fruit notes and a nice backbone of smoke. \nSophora is a sparkling wine producer based out of New Zealand. New Zealand’s wide range of regions and cooler climate makes it the perfect country for sparkling wines. These wines have life and resonate with the vibrancy that New Zealand wines are known for. With hints of quince\, orange rind\, and lemongrass these sparklers offer just as many nuances and flavors as the rest. \nBoth Wither Hills and Sophora produce great wines\, but nothing beats finding out for yourself.

SUMMARY:Ardbeg Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:Over the years Ardbeg has staged a mock rocket launch in the parking lot\, driven a motor cycle in the store and hosted a ‘space simulator’ in front of the store.  What’s next\, you ask? \nA giant\, double-decker bus of course! Don’t worry about what the driver can see through that image filmed windshield – the bus will be parked when you get here anyway.  Inside the bus is where the fun is.  The Ardbeg ‘sensory experience’ is sure to be unique with both floors of the bus offering hands-on education. \nTo complete the experience\, the taste portion will be taking place inside the store.  Try some Ardbeg\, check out an awesome bus and have yourself a fun time!

SUMMARY:Boston Winery: Wines from the City
DESCRIPTION:Who knew Boston was a hotbed for winemaking? Someone did and they called it 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. \n  \nLooking to find out what other tastings we might be offering? Click here.

SUMMARY:Apothic Wines Tasting: The Mystery Unfolds
DESCRIPTION:What is it about Apothic Wines that keeps us coming back for more?\nApothic Wines is relatively new when it comes to wineries. That being said\, their meteoric rise to stardom is the opposite of slow and steady. \nIt’s now 2018 and Apothic Wines can be found in red\, white\, and rosé variations. The red blend which is their primary offering is now available in Crush\, a light red with soft fruit flavors\, and Dark\, a richer red with jammed berries and baking spices. Also available are the Seasonal Offerings which are only available while supplies last. In this category\, there is the Inferno\, a whiskey barrel aged red that has intense spiciness\, and Brew which adds cold brew coffee into the blend. \nTheir innovation and continuous search or excellence are what drives this brand and its wines.\nHowever\, not everyone has heard of or tried these wines and they are looking to change that. Join us for what is sure to be a fun-filled afternoon with good wines and company.

SUMMARY:Wine Tasting with John Grange Wine Broker
DESCRIPTION:Nothing beats a tasting with someone that knows what they are talking about. That’s why we are hosting a wine tasting with John Grange.\nJohn Grange and his team are just those people. Wine tasting is unique because each bottle of wine has a story to tell. Which inevitably makes the person behind the table a storyteller. Wine isn’t sold based on your decibel level\, it is sold by the history each glass unravels. The story behind the wine isn’t just a story it’s its DNA. Which is why having a wine tasting with John Grange and his team is so vital. They make it an experience and not just another interaction. \nWhich is why we are happy to have John and his team back. \nAs a wine broker John represents different wines for different importers. Himself along with his team then learn the history of the wineries and subsequently its wines and help promote them. \nIf you like wine tastings here is a list of a few more you might be interested in: Click Here\nLineup:\nLes Darons Rouge Languedoc\n3 Brooms by Barker’s Marque Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough\nCuvaison Chardonnay Carneros\nCuvaison Pinot Noir Carneros\nLilac wine by Jeff Carrel Cotes du Roussillon Villages

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.

SUMMARY:Testa Wines South American Tasting with Wendy
DESCRIPTION:Testa Wines: Bringing the highest caliber wines to your dinner table.\nTesta Wines may be less known than Diageo and Moet Hennessey\, but their impact in the wine industry resonates to this day. Having once been the importer for little brands like Veuve Clicquot\, Antinori\, and Mouton Cadet\, it is easy to see why we are excited about working with them. \nMost recently\, Testa has found their way to South America where they have discovered some gems.\nThe first is La Mision\, a project started by Domaine William Fevre. Due to the rising demand in Burgundy and lack of land\, William Fevre has decided to venture into other regions. It may not have been their 1st choice\, but Chile was where they decided to plant their vines. Using clippings from their vineyards in Burgundy\, William Fevre planted vineyards where they deemed most appropriate and started La Mision. The wines are precise\, to say the least. The white wines are reminiscent of wines from Burgundy with minerality\, acidity\, and balanced fruit flavors. The red wines resemble wines from Provence with laid-back fruit flavors and fresh acidity on the finish. \nThe second is Proemio; Argentinian wines with an Italian heritage. Like most Italians immigrants Marcelo Bocardo came from a family that emphasized eating well. Not only did this apply to food but it also applied to wine. However\, eating steak every day isn’t common so why the necessity for over-extracted wines? Marcelo went out to create wines that would pair well with common household dinners. Hence Proemio. The wines emphasize the quality of the grapes and the regions they were grown in and heighten foods versus overpowering them. \nWendy\, the local rep for Testa\, will be here to engage your palate and open your mind to these newcomers. She will be pouring the wines and educating us on why these wines are the new frontier for Soth America. \nWines being sampled:\n\nLa Mision Reserva Especial Chardonnay\nLa Mision Reserva Especial Pinot Noir\nLa Mision Reserva Especial Carmenere\nProemio Cabernet Sauvignon\nProemio Reserva Malbec\nProemio ICON

SUMMARY:Cleveland Underground Bourbon
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland Whiskey has developed a truly innovative technology to create a line of revolutionary new flavor profiles that push the boundaries of traditional bourbon. For generations\, oak has been used to age spirits simply because it has the right pore structure to hold liquid. It’s hard\, if not impossible\, to make a barrel out of black cherry\, sugar maple\, or apple wood that doesn’t leak like a sieve and yet there are so many untapped flavors that can come from these woods. Cleveland Whiskey’s proprietary technology captures those flavors\, letting creativity and innovation shine.

SUMMARY:Quinta do Noval Wine Tasting with Deirdre
DESCRIPTION:Who could say no to a Quinta do Noval wine tasting?\nMaybe a few of you could but that is only because you don’t know Quinta do Noval. One of the most famous of Port houses\, Quinta do Noval is and has been royalty in Porto. Not only famous for making world-class wine but also famous for having one of the few pre-phylloxera vineyards in Europe\, Nacional. Although we won’t be privileged to taste the Vintage Nacional as only 90 bottles made it to the US\, we will be tasting their other Ports. Which brings us back to the original question; who could say no to a Noval wine tasting? \nPort has long been misunderstood as it is so closely tied with dessert wine. Understandable considering it is rather sweet. But what if I told you that it isn’t just for dessert. That it is also for cocktails and can be used as an aperitif. It can. The reputation that Port is only a “dessert” wine is now a thing of the past. Mixologists\, wine drinkers and cocktail lovers are embracing Port’s new found glory and so will you. With Deirdre at the helm of this tasting\, we are going to be shown how Port is more than a dessert wine. \nLooks like things have changed just a bit. Although we will still be sampling Noval\, a few more items were just added to the lineup: \nBollinger Champagne Special Cuvee Brut NV\nDomaine Talmard Macon-Chardonnay\nChateau Lyonnat Lussac-St-Emilion

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’s 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 point\, 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

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. \nThe lineup:\nRick Lacasse–\n1) Hugel Gentil Alsace\n2) Erath Pinot Noir Oregon\n3) Klinker Brick OV Zin Lodi\n4) Justin Isosceles Paso Robles\n5) Catena Malbec Mendoza\n6) Oh! Schist Riesling QbA \nNic Haegeli–\n1) Schiopetto -Des Rosis- Pinot Grigio Friuli\n2) Parusso ‘Piane Noce’ Dolcetto d’Alba\n3) Antica Fratta Franciacorta Brut NV\n4) Le Bordeaux de Larrivet Haut-Brion Rouge\n5)Le Bordeaux de Larrivet Haut-Brion Rouge\n6) Bodegas Baron -Micaela- Cream Sherry \nDavid Raines–\nJérôme Godon Sancerre\nSilver Angel Sauvignon Blanc Thracian Valley\nReverdito Langhe Nebbiolo ‘Simane’\nAngel Cabernet Sauvignon Thracian Valley\n4 Seasons ‘Winter’ Cabernet Franc Thracian Valley\nCa’ Lojera Lugana Bianco \nDennis Kearney–\nMichele Castellani ‘San Michele’ Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso\nSeghesio Zinfandel Sonoma County\nRivera ‘Preludio #1’ Chardonnay Puglia\nRivera Sauvignon Blanc Puglia\nAbacela Tempranillo ‘Fiesta’ Umpqua Valley\nHuber Riesling ‘Terrassen’ Traisental \nClick Here for other opportunities to learn\n  \n

SUMMARY:Hillrock Estate Distillery
DESCRIPTION:Hillrock Estate distillery is perhaps best known for having the world’s first Solera aged Bourbon\, but they also offer an exceptional rye and one of the best single malts I have tasted in a long time. \nBeing an Estate distillery means that everything\, from seed to bottle\, is carefully managed by the estate.  The craft and care employed throughout the creation of their whiskies is evident in the bottle.  These are a must try. \nDoug Thorsey will be hosting a free whiskey experience with Hillrock’s awesome lineup at Colonial Spirits.   This is some of the best whiskey going right now so don’t miss a chance to try it.

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving Dinner and Wine Pairing with Sue
DESCRIPTION:The most anticipated get together of the year is Thanksgiving Dinner.\nAt least it is in our household. Family\, friends\, and good food set the mood for the day and nothing is better. That being said\, Thanksgiving dinner can be a burden to the hosting family. Long days of prep\, an early start the day off\, and clean up like you wouldn’t believe.  Sometimes motivation is the issue as the stress of Thanksgiving can mount up quickly. \nThat is why we are inviting you to our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner with Sue. Sue brings out all of the stops and there is nothing better than enjoying someone else’s hard work. However\, Sue does more than bring the turkey\, sweet potatoes\, and cranberry sauce. She also brings a handful of wines that pair well with Thanksgiving Dinner as it is the most common question this time of year. \nMore importantly\, Sue will have more than just Pinot Noir and Riesling.\nEven though Pinot and Riesling are some of the best wines for pairing with Thanksgiving Dinner\, there are other wines that work just as well. Sue may still have a Pinot Noir or Riesling to sample as it’s almost obligatory\, but she will also have a few other great choices that will help make Thanksgiving a little bit easier. \nWhether this is your first\, second\, or third visit I’m sure you will try something you haven’t seen paired with turkey before. \nHope to see you there.
