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: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: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: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: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:Gemma di Luna Pinot Grigio Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Gemma di Luna Pinot Grigio may just be the jewel of the moon.\nThe newest release by Enovations Brands\, Gemma di Luna Pinot Grigio brings back the fun. A once prized varietal\, Pinot Grigio has seen better says. With too many labels and too many wineries fighting their way to the bottom\, GdL is a breath of fresh air. Elegant and well balanced\, the GdL has notes of white peach with hints of lime zest. A far cry from the apricot flavor that has become the modern normal for Pinot Grigio. \nIn addition to quality fruit\, GdL Pinot Grigio also comes in a eye-catching packaging. Whether you want to believe it or not\, the packaging can tell a lot about the wine inside. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Come and see for yourself.

SUMMARY:The Federalist Wines: Patriotism in a Glass
DESCRIPTION:If patriotism doesn’t run in your veins now\, it will once you try the Federalist Wines.\nFederalist Wines is brought to you by none other than the Terlato family. Haven’t heard of Terlato? They are the family responsible for bringing us Santa Margherita back in the 80’s. Since then\, Terlato has added to their portfolio M. Chapoutier\, Two Hands\, and\, now\, Federalist. \nThe wines by Federalist are a nod to old California. Ripe wines with robust flavors that are easy drinking and wallet-friendly. What more could anyone ask for? \nIf you haven’t tried them\, this is the opportunity to do so.

SUMMARY:A Night of German Wines to Remember
DESCRIPTION:The Germans are coming and they bring gifts of German Wines.\nFrom the steep hills of the Mosel to the volcanic deposits of the Nahe\, German wines are diverse. Riesling may be the preferred varietal but it doesn’t stop there. Gewurztraminer\, Pinot Gris and Blanc\, Spatburgunder (Pinot Noir)\, and Sylvaner are also held in high marks. Each one of these wine regions has its own twist on how these varietals are presented. Spicy\, floral\, sweet\, dense\, light\, and viscus are some of the adjectives to describe the nuances of these wines. But it doesn’t stop there. \nTo present the ever interesting and exciting wines from Germany we will be hosting some of our favorite wineries and winemakers. \nMosel — Thanks to Thomas Jefferson\, Mosel is the German wine region to be.\nBollig-Lehnert — With wines that some would call dense\, Bollig-Lehnert straddles the line of purity and indulgence. Regardless\, these wines stand out. \nC. Von Nell-Breuning — Class best describes the wines from C. Von Nell-Breuning. There is an air of finesse to these wines that give them the upper hand when it comes to producing top-notch wines. \nNahe — A smaller region that is known for the spice character that is almost instinctual in its wines.\nPaul Anheuser — One of our more established and regular offerings. Paul Anheuser wines is a beautiful example of how keeping things simple can have astonishing outcomes. \nRheinhessen — Once known for Liebfraumilch\, the Rheinhessen has come a long way to re-establishing itself as one of Germany top wine producing region.\nGeorg Albrecht Schneider — With over 200 years of experience\, G.A. Schneider is a leader in its category. Clean and precise wines that win you over with their clarity and freshness. \nEach one of these producers is unique and each one of their wines as unique. Each producer understands the German wine market and its followers and knows that making the best wines they can is what will set them apart. But you don’t have to take my word for it.

SUMMARY:House Bear Brewing Mead Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Join me in welcoming back House Bear Brewing.\nAfter a long hiatus\, and many setbacks\, House Bear Brewing is once again brewing and open for business. Long story short\, HBB was working on expanding unfortunately\, things didn’t go their way at first. But as the saying goes; things happen for a reason. They are now back in action and that not only includes distributing their fantastic brews but also a new tap room. \nFortunately\, you don’t have to drive down to them to see what is going. At least not this time. Instead\, you can stop by the store and have Carl\, one of the founders\, pours samples for you. these meads are as good as any but all have their own unique twist in flavor. From lemonade to strawberry/basil\, these meads keep the palate wanting more. \nBut you don’t have to take my word for it.

SUMMARY:Hillrock Whiskey with David Pickerell
DESCRIPTION:David Pickerell with be hosting a free sampling of his whiskies from Hillrock Estate. \nDon’t miss the chance to hear a story or two from this guy\, even if you don’t like whiskey.  His experience in the spirits industry is incredible and he’s a fun guy to talk to. \nBeing and Estate distillery means that everything\, from seed to bottle\, is carefully managed by the estate.  Founder Jeff Baker envisioned\, and followed through with\, a distillery that was more like a small winery than a production facility.  Hillrock grows their own grains (organically!) and crafts outstanding spirits under the expertise of David Pickerell – the former veteran master distiller of Maker’s Mark. \nGrowing your own grain is a risky proposition – if the crop fails one year there is nothing to distill! For the past 9 years they have had great luck with their crops in the Hudson valley and the whiskey that results is outstanding\, to put it lightly. \nPerhaps best known for having the world’s first Solera aged Bourbon; they also offer an exceptional rye and one of the best single malts I have tasted in a long time.  These are a must try if you enjoy Bourbon\, Rye or Single Malt and the bottle makes a beautiful gift.

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:Wagner Family of Wine Tasting: Caymus\, Mer Soleil\, Emmolo\, and more
DESCRIPTION:Wagner Family of Wines: The family that brings names like Caymus\, Emmolo\, and Mer Soleil to the table.\nThis is a treat because it has been a long time since we have opened a bottle of Caymus. Truth be told\, Caymus no longer needs the help selling as it is one of the most revered producers. However\, did you know that the Wagner family also produced Emmolo and Mer Soleil? That is correct. A family that is synonymous with Cabernet Sauvignon also produces Chardonnay\, Merlot\, Sauvignon Blanc\, and blends. Best of all\, their other wines don’t come second to Caymus. \nWe are fortunate to have made the connection with Chris Morris\, Wagner regional rep\, via Ken Hoggins and even more fortunate that Chris is willing to take some time out of his day to pour some of their outstanding wines. \nThis couldn’t have happened without Ken’s Wine Guide.\nNow a familiar face\, Ken Hoggins\, founder of Kenswineguide.com\, is a local wine reviewer that has made connections over the years and helped us make this one. Additionally\, his palate has tried it all. Fortunate enough to review wines some of us only dream of enjoying\, Ken has the experience and expertise to pick out the winners. Case in point\, this event’s lineup. Take a look. \nThe lineup.\n \nCaymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2015:\n“Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color\, with rich fruit and ripe\, velvety tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. We farm Cabernet grapes in eight of Napa’s 16 sub-appellations\, with diversification enabling us to make the best possible wine in a given year. Our Cabernet offers layered\, lush aromas and flavors\, including cocoa\, cassis and ripe dark berries.” -WagnerFamilyofWines.com \n \nEmmolo Merlot Napa Valley 2015:\n“This Merlot from Emmolo is terrific follow up to the 2014. The 2015 is dark red colored and slightly opaque. It opens with a ripe black cherry bouquet with notes of black raspberry. On the palate\, this wine is full-bodied\, balanced and juicy. The flavor profile is a tasty black cherry with notes of oak. I also detected hints of minerality and blackcurrant. The finish is dry and its flavors and moderate tannins sail away nicely. This is a very good wine and would be a perfect match with a filet mignon at your favorite steakhouse. Enjoy – 92 Points” – Ken (KensWineGuide.com) \n \nMer Soleil Reserve Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands 2015:\n“The dramatic climate of the Highlands – located within Monterey County – allows us to create dramatic wines. Morning fog\, bright sunshine and gusting winds enable longer “hang time” for the grapes\, resulting in wines of intense\, complex character. With fresh\, bright aromas and the taste of white peach\, this wine has a vibrant acidity balanced by the lush flavors of fully ripe fruit.” -WagnerFamilyofWine.com \n \nEmmolo Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2016:\n“Inspired by the idea that less is more\, this wine is more minerality-driven than fruit-driven. Not grassy or overly ripe\, it features delicate fruit flavors and steely\, mineral notes that call to mind a first summer rain. Our grapes come from two family vineyards\, and we harvest the fruit at just the right moment to achieve a balance of firm acidity and low alcohol.” -WagnerFamilyofWine.com \n \nConundrum Red Blend California 2015:\n“Sourced from premier California winegrowing regions\, Conundrum Red features dark red varietals including Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. It is rich\, complex and approachable. With lush flavors of cherries and baking chocolate\, this wine has fine tannins that create a silky smoothness. Be daring and drink Conundrum Red chilled to enhance its fruit profile and enjoy it any time of year.” -WagnerFamilyofWine.com

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.
