SUMMARY:Tequila Avion
DESCRIPTION:Tequila Avion is an unpretentious\, fine tequila\, dedicated to quality.  Unlike many tequilas\, with Avion you do not buy the bottle.  Since one never consumes the bottle\, a fancy\, ornate bottle seems unnecessary.  With Avion\, the proof is in the liquid!

SUMMARY:Elysian and Kona Island Beer Tasting
DESCRIPTION:A brewery from Seattle\, Washington and new to Massachusetts\, Elysian is a great new addition to our collection of beer. \nBill had a fire in his eyes when he heard we could finally get their delightfully hoppy Space Dust IPA and it has been a feature in our cooler ever since. \nAnd if that were not enough\, we will also be tasting Kona Island Brewery’s beers! This Hawaiian brewery is perfect for the summer weather that has (finally) arrived. You might have noticed we have Kona’s 12 packs on sale (the lowest price in the state no less: 10.75 +dep per 12 pack) and if you wanted a chance to try it first\, this is your chance!

SUMMARY:Colonial Spirits' Annual Summer Bash
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Colonial Spirits’ 4th Annual Summer Bash.\nThe Summer Bash might be\, outside of Oktoberfest\, our favorite event of the year. Unlike our samplings and seminars\, the Summer Bash is a time for fun and festivities. It marks the beginning of summer\, the season of get-togethers and slower days. Summer may be too hot for some\, but with the right people and the right drink in your hand\, it makes for some of the best stories. The first of which is right here. \nWith a tasting lineup that is sure to chill you down\, plenty of BBQ (hot dogs and burgers)\, and a few yard games this will be our biggest and badest event yet. 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:\nWither Hills Wine Sampling: Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé — 2-5 PM\nBlue Chair Bay Rums — 1-5 PM\nNight Shift Brewing — 1-5 PM\nFounders Brewing — 1-4 PM\nVictory Brewing — 1-5 PM\nDowneast Cider House — 1-5 PM\nCraft Distributors (The Bruery & Saison Dupont) — 1-5 PM\nAtlas Distributors — 1-5 PM\nAtlantic Distributors — 1-5 PM\nTy Ku Sake — 1-5 PM

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:New Belgium Tasting
DESCRIPTION:When I started working at Colonial Spirits I would often get questions about New Belgium. Most commonly: Did we have any? Alas\, New Belgium had not yet arrived in Massachusetts and I could not supply any. But now! Now it is available and it was worth the wait. From their famous amber ale\, Fat Tire to their refreshing IPA\, Citradelic this brewery has earned its reputation as one of the biggest craft breweries in the United States.

SUMMARY:Zuccardi Ultra Icon Wines Seminar with Lee
DESCRIPTION:Malbec is much more than Mendoza\, and Zuccardi is here to prove it.\nMendoza and Malbec are almost synonyms\, but that has to change. Out of fear of becoming the next Barossa Valley Shiraz\, Argentinian wineries like Zuccardi are looking elsewhere for inspiration. Malbec may still be king but varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo also shine in Mendoza. \nZuccardi is a family owned winery located in the Mendoza sub-region. It is here\, at the state-of-the-art winery\, that all of the magic takes place. From experimenting with different varieties like Tempranillo to finding the perfect terroir\, Zuccardi is changing the Argentinian landscape and the way we view its wines. \nZuccardi makes you look past the front label in order to get the whole story.\nZuccardi’s quest for wines of distinction has forced them to expand their portfolio and introduce wines that represent the best of Argentina. Unlike the Santa Julia wines\, the eponymously named wines are estate fruit and have an emphasize on terroir. This is where it becomes fun. \nUnlike the ‘A Series\,’ the ‘Q Series\,’ and the ‘Icons’ the Ultra Icons are the best Zuccardi has to offer. The Ultra Icon are terroir. From vines to bottle\, the Ultra Icons wines see little interference from the winemaker as the belief is the vines and vineyards do most of the work. Handpicked\, gravity pumped\, wild yeast fermentation\, minimum barrel aging\, and unfiltered is the theme. \nZuccardi Estate Vineyards\nLocation\, location\, location… As they say.\nThis saying is as true for wine as it is for the housing market. What separates wines from one another is the location. Like purchasing a house in an up-and-coming neighborhood\, wineries search for the best spot to plant vines. And like houses\, every aspect of the vineyard makes a difference\, a fact not lost in the Ultra Icon wines. The Ultra Icons are the sum of everything in nature coming together in such a way creating wines that border on perfection. Few wineries do this well\, and even fewer do it as well as Zuccardi. \nIn order to better understand what we’re talking about\, Lee from Winesellers\, LTD will be presenting the Ultra Icon wines at our store.\nLee will be presenting at 2 consecutive seminars that will take place on Thursday\, May 18 from 6-6:45 and 7-7:45 PM.  Seating is limited so don’t wait to sign up. We will be charging $10 per seat; all of the proceeds will go to a local charity. If you are interested in reserving a seat at either time slot please email Nic at Nicolay@ColonialSpirits.com with the names of all interested parties and whether they will be attending ‘Seminar 1’ or ‘Seminar 2.’ Thank you. \nThese are the wines we will be presenting:\n\n2013 ‘Finca Los Membrillos’ (La Consulta) Cabernet Sauvignon\n2013 ‘Finca Piedra Infinita’ (Altamira) Malbec\n2012 ‘Finca Canal Uco’ (Altamira) Malbec\n2011 Aluvional- La Consulta Malbec\n2011 Aluvional- Altamira Malbec\n\n
