50th Anniversary Grand Tasting at Quail Ridge

50th Anniversary Grand Tasting

50th Anniversary Grand Tasting. 50 Years, The Golden Anniversary. 50 Years of ‘Thank Yous’ in one great event.

That’s right, we have been in business for 50 years and we are still going strong. From our first location to 69 Great Rd, aka the Clock building, to our current location, one thing has remained the same, our service. We take pride in the services we offer and the gusto we do it with. We enjoy what we do, especially when we can share it with others. Thank you, all. Without past employees and customers, and current employees and customers we wouldn’t have made it this far.

The 50th Anniversary Grand Tasting is a way to appreciate all the years we have under our belt.

In a year of changes, we thought it would be nice to coordinate a tasting that took place at a venue that offered more room. Past Grand Tastings occurred over two consecutive Saturdays due to space. The lack of space pushed us to look elsewhere, and so we did. Proximity to the store was a large priority, as were scenery and accommodations. Quail Ridge has it all. From the space to accommodate 13+ tables to the lush green grass growing on the 1st fairway, Quail Ridge is the perfect spot. So we booked the venue, set the date, and we are now counting down the days to our 50th Anniversary Grand Tasting.

What does this mean for you? A bigger and better representation of what we enjoy doing.

Wine is all about enjoyment, and presenting great wines is what we enjoy doing. From classic regions like Piedmont to modern regions like Umpqua Valley in Oregon, a Grand Wine Tasting should have it all. More importantly, it should have the best. These are the reasons for going to Quail Ridge and for having a tasting unlike any before. 50 years is a long time to be in business, so what better way to celebrate than with a wine tasting with over 100 bottles of wine.

More importantly, we will have it all.

Sparkling, red, white, rosé, port wines, and more. There will be something for everyone. In addition, we will have plenty of finger food, water, and the opportunity to save on your purchase. This will be the event of the season, and we couldn’t have picked a better venue for it.

Put it on your calendar now because you won’t want to miss this tasting.

Semi-Grand Rosé Wine Tasting

This is the first of our newest addition to our tasting lineup: Semi-Grand Rosé Wine Tasting. Unlike our Grand Tastings that are featured over two consecutive weekends and showcase around 50 bottles of wines each weekend. Our Semi-Grand Tastings will take place on one day, will focus on a style that tends to get overlooked for some reason, and will feature anywhere from 25-50 bottles of wine depending on the style. This is a great opportunity to learn more about you have either never tried or already love.

Our first Semi-Grand Tasting will focus on Rosé wines. With its popularity increasing year after year, rosé wines are here to stay indefinitely and boy are we happier for it. The biggest downside, up to this point, was that there seems to be an endless sea of rosé and far too few people pouring them. Yes, we did indeed cover a few at our Spring Grand Tasting, but the 15+ we covered is nothing compared to the 100+ we will be getting throughout the season and year. With an infinite number of varieties from which rosé can be made from which cover everything from clawingly sweet to bone dry, what better way to choose your next bottle than by sampling it for yourself. So, if you happen to have an hour or two open on Saturday, May 21 from 2-5 PM and would like to sample a few rosés stop by our shop and see what we will have open.

Like our Grand Tastings, we will be offering 25% off a mixed 12 bottle case of the wines being sampled at our Rosé Wine Tasting.
