2007

Far Niente Cabernet

and

Dominus Proprietary Red


Hello to all those who Imbibe,
 
First, let me pass along the thanks of the staff at Tamera DobbsImbibe. Imbibe Customers were kind to our staff during our first year of business and we put all your tips into a jar. The only rule was we weren't going to count it until it was full. Thirteen months later, after a not-so-secret ballot of the top three ways to spend the moo-la, the entire Imbibe crew (current and former) and guests are going to travel in style to the central coast for some VIP treatment at area wineries and restaurants. 

The first series of wine education classes at Imbibe were so well received that our plans to take a summer vacation had to be amended. We're glad you enjoyed and learned from them, and far be it from us to deny you - at least on this topic, so we've scheduled more. A Wine Tasting Basics class is on the calendar for Monday, June 28th (only $10 person) followed by four weeks of Varietal Exploration Classes on consecutive Mondays in July ($50/person for the series). For more details, visit our information page.

Really excited about the first Imbibe Field Trip to Kern River Brewing Company in Kernville on Sunday, July 11th. Dan Rainey (Imbibe) and Kyle Smith (KRBC) have planned a  full day for the lucky participants with lots of food, beer and fun. This is one of those events you'll hear about after, and wish you'd been there, so grab one of the seats that are left soon.

Dave and the crew tasted some really exciting Cabs and cab blends this week. More details below on the special deals we've got on the wines they all liked best. My favorite? The wine in my glass, of course.

See you at Imbibe,

Tamera, David and the crew

This last week we tasted some of the best 2007 Cabernets we've experienced so far this year and we had also the opportunity to revisit one of the great 2005's.

2007 Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon $89.99Far Niente Cab
We tasted the 2007 Far Niente Cabernet, which in my opinion is the best they have ever made. The 2007 Vintage will go down in California history as one of the finest vintages ever.

2007 Dominus Estate Red $124.99Dominus
We also had a chance to taste the 2007 Dominus Estate Red, which compares to the great 1991 & 1994 vintages. This wine is one of the finest in America, surely not to be missed. Suggested retail is $159; at Imbibe we are offering it for only $124.99 (very limited). The '07 is rated 98/100 by Robert Parker.

2005 Dominus Proprietary Red Wine $89.99
We've got a While It Lasts offer too. We revisited the 2005 Dominus and made a special purchase on this wine. We're offering it while supplies last for only $89.91.

Field Trip Alert!

Sunday, July 11th | $39

First Annual Imbibe Beer Run: Join us for a trip to local Kern River Brewing Company on Sunday July 11th. This will be a great opportunity to taste fantastic beers from a local establishment. Brew master and owner Kyle will host us for a tour of the facility and beer tasting. Lunch will follow with beer included.
We will depart from Imbibe at 10 am and return from Kernville when we've had enough (approximately 4-5 pm). Refreshments and snacks will be provided on the bus.


New on the Liquor Wall Hpnotiq

Hpnotiq $25.99
Hpnotiq is a unique and exquisitely delectable sensation, combining a perfect balance of premium vodka, fine cognac and tantalizing natural tropical fruit juices with hints of orange and passion fruit. Best served chilled on the rocks or with your favorite mixer.
