It's a lovely, rainy Sunday and I am enjoying the coziness of my purple blanket (thank you Patty!) and my mug of hot tea. We have all been staying in more than we like to lately, so here are some great reasons to get out and into our community again.
Come out and play this week!
We would love to see you!

Antonio Sanguineti Is Returning to Monica's!
Whether you missed his visit last June, or just want to see the Maestro again, Antonio will be here for another quick visit on
Tuesday November 17, 12:30 pm
You may have tried his wines at our tastings, read about him on our blog from our Food & Wine Tour in Italy, or met him on his last visit. If so you will remember that our Tuscan friend Antonio loves opera, fast cars, and making spectacular wines!
We are lucky to be well loved by both Antonio, and especially by our fabulous travel coordinator
Doumina Whyman, The Enthusiastic Traveler
who is making this visit happen for us.
Antonio will talk about his wines & Small Vineyards Travel, as well as autograph bottles of wine for you; we will pour samples of his wines 'Caruso' and 'Vincero' for you to enjoy while he is here.
Don't miss this unique opportunity! Monica's is the only place where you can see Antonio AND buy his wines on this side of the Sound!

And as long as I have your attention, don't forget:
Our Pre-Holiday Wine Tasting
It's our last wine tasting of the year!
Friday November 20, 4 pm-6:30
Our newest shipment from our favorite small vineyards in Italy is here and we have some Fabulous new wines for you to taste!
Mark and I chose these wines especially with Winter and the holidays in mind:
Both for pairing with the foods we eat at this time of year AND for great gift giving!
$5 gets you 3 tastes and $8.50 gets you all 6
Either way you'll have some light snacks to pair with the wines and every taste ticket is entered to win a $20 gift certificate!
It's a great way to wind down your week, & wind up your weekend, so come in and join us!
No reservations required
