 Happy Holidays! TOMORROW WILL BE THE COOLEST TASTING OF THE YEAR. We are ending 2011 with a bang! Tired of the same old sparkling options for New Year's Eve? Join us for a comparative tasting of dry Lambruscos, a Prosecco, and bubbly cocktails made with TRU Liqueurs. Check out the notes below for the scoop on these goodies. It is going to be groovy, DO NOT miss this one! Also, Sam and I (Matt) would like to wish all of you a Happy New Year! We have the coolest customers ever and appreciate your business and friendship. 2012 will bring many new and exciting things to East End Wines; we still have not given up on our license change and plan on having the new patio area, as well as classes and other events, as soon as possible. There are a few options on how we will accomplish this, and we want to do it right. So bear with us please :) These emails are archived on the website; they can be accessed through the "current and past newsletters" link at www.eastendwinesatx.com. The weekly wine update is also tweeted, so if you are interested, you can follow us through the link below. Cheers, Matt and Sam

Friday Night Tasting Lineup
Comparative Lambrusco Tasting with Prestige
- Not mid-seventies Riunite - hold the ice.
Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Brut Rose Spumante
85% Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro varietal, thriving on sunny slopes. Fruity aromas, fresh dark fruit flavors, nice tannin structure. From a more full & powerful Lambrusco, with 15% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) blended in. Gentle press, low temperature Metodo Italiano (Charmat) process. Delicate. Aperitivo, fruit salads, ice cream.
Our Price: 14.97
Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Premium Vecchia Modena
Manual picking of the best grapes. Fresh ripe strawberry & raspberry nose, citrus zest. Dry, with the great blend of tangy acid and lightly bitter mineral. Citrus & herb palate - balanced & refreshing. Lighter in color. Enough acid to pair with fatty white meats, or poached eggs. Lengthy & fine mousse.
Our Price: 13.97
Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Enrico Cialdini Secco
Nose has light floral / spicy hints. Another Grasparossa, with more concentrated cassis flavor, raspberry / blackberry / brambly note. Acidity is more juicy than tart, making the mousse come off as more creamy. 80 cases came to the US. Plum, and smoky mineral come through a bit on the medium length finish. Fruity but dry. Light tannins.
Our Price: 13.97
Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco GdC Centennario "Amabile"
"Slightly sweet" with deep ruby color, pink bubbles. Ripe black cherry. Soft & delicate. Grasparossa acidity allows it to carry a more typical Lambrusco level of sweetness without seeming cloying. (30g / L?). Frizzante level of mousse, but lively. Strawberry, floral. Juicy, light tannins, good concentration. Only 8% alcohol. Charming.
Our Price: 9.97
2010 Bellenda San Fermo Brut Prosecco Superiore
Pale straw color, vibrant mousse. Note of hay and dried wild flowers on the nose. Apple & pear tree fruit, lanolin, mineral, fresh pastry yeastiness. Dry, with round fruit still on the palate. Small bead bubbles keep the wine focused and the palate refreshed. Pretty robust & rich for Prosecco, will work nicely with more buttery seafood dishes.
Our Price: 18.97
