THURSDAY TASTINGS
Thursdays 6:30 - 8pm

August 19th: BBQ Wines $20
Beer may be the first option much of the time when BBQ is on the table, but wine can be just as nice. From zesty Grüners from Austria to spicy-juicy blends in the Southern Rhône to lip-smacking, rich Zinfandels in America there are plenty of wine options for you to consider with your next BBQ. Come join us for 10 grill-friendly wines!

August 26th: Touring the Pacific-Northwest $20
The coastal Cascade Mountain range runs along the western portion of Oregon and Washington State. On the west side, it is rainy and relatively cool but on the east side the weather is dry, sunny, and warm—conditions absolutely perfect for grape-growing! On this night we will be tasting our way through both of these states, sampling everything from creamy-soft Willamette Pinot Gris to deep Yakima Valley Syrah.

September 2nd: Tuscan Vacation $20
The sun-soaked Italian region of Tuscany shares an interesting mix of old traditions and modern innovation when it comes to wine. From the steadfast beacons of yore in Chianti and Brunello to the brash and bold Super Tuscans of now, the region is a hot bed of great wine. On this night, join us as we delve into one of Italy’s best regions and sample 10 fantastic wines.

September 9th: Worldwide Pinot Adventure $20
Pinot Noir is a dynamic grape and is amazingly site-specific showing off a wide-range of different flavors depending on where it is grown. On this night, we’ll take you on a country-by-country Pinot Noir tour, including stops in the USA, Australia, Italy, and of course France. 10 Pinot-tastic wines for you to try!

September 16th: Champagne Wishes $30
We’ve done sparkling wine tastings in the past, but we’ve never devoted a full tasting to only Champagne. On this night that will all change: We’ll be offering 10 sumptuous offerings of great bubbly from France’s storied Champagne region, featuring a mix of some familiar top Houses and some young rising stars that are sure to dazzle.

September 23rd: Zin and Friends  $20
The Zinfandel grape can amaze with concentrated dark berry and intriguing spicy flavors in a very accessible package.  For this tasting we’ll be highlighting some stunner bottlings of Zin, along with a handful of other like-minded wines, including Grenache and Syrah. Join us for 10 rich, spicy and over-the-top selections!

September 30th: Deal-Makers—Great Wines for under $10:   $20
It’s not every night that you can splurge and open a pricy bottle to have with dinner: For the rest of those nights the more budget-sensitive options are appropriate. For this tasting, we’ve assembled some amazing wines at the sub-$10 range. 12 wines that are all sure to over-deliver and save you some $$$!
