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.
Been a hot minute since we’ve had these scientific brewers beers pouring in our store, so we will have come out Saturday 14th, 1-3pm. The very knowledgeable Lisa will be here pouring beer, talking about the beer and brewery, and answer any questions that you might have about what it is you are trying. A fun, ever-experimenting brewery, you’ll find something unique at every tasting.
Alcoholic seltzer is the new craze that will invade our shelves this year, and Nauti Seltzer is lining up to be the big name in the niche market. We’ll be tasting all their flavors Friday the 13th, 4-6pm. That means Cranberry, Lemon Lime, Raspberry, and Grapefruit will be opened and ready for you to try. Make sure to come and see what all the fuss is about.
Starting off the month with our first Brewery of the Month tasting. Lagunitas is rapidly becoming one of the biggest brands in the country. Don’t let that dissuade you, they are still popping out unique and high quality beers on the regular. We’ll be showing off some of their lesser known offerings so that you can have a full understand of what their line up tastes like when looking at our shelves. Friday, May 6th 4-6pm.
A new comer to out shelves, this brewery (or brasserie) from Quebec offers us some solid additions. Quebec has a really wonderful beer culture and these guys are a fine example of that. We’ll be tasting their two IPAs and an amber. I found all to be of good quality and would like everyone to come and taste them for yourselves. Saturday the 30th, 1-3pm.
Some of the most unique and flavorful ciders we have in stock, Rekorderlig is a Swedish treat. With flavors like Wild Berry, Strawberry Lime, and Passionfruit, if you haven’t tried these ciders, you really should. You won’t be upset with me for recommending this one. Saturday 3-5pm. PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN START TIME!
