Wine Talk by Art of the Table
January 14, 2011

You may already have received this under the guises of a Table Talk, I intended to send it to both Wine and Table talk and failed, so if you're receiving a second time, just delete...Thanks for understanding!


 It is a new year

and we're coming out of all the

hustle and bustle

so


 

we've spruced up the store with wonderful new displays with things like

  • Moroccan, Thai and Spanish cooking elements, implements & ingredients!
  • Valentines Day!
  • Cocktails
     
  • Warm drinks for the cold weather!

Stop in and see our newest creations!


 

Also we've been

working to come up with fantastic events

for the upcoming year!


 

Looking forward to seeing you!


 


Wine Tastings!
 

 

Soon we'll be giving you more details about our in-store wine tastings, which are now allowed by our fine state!

 

but in the meantime, we have two other wine tastings on the horizon that we want to get on your calendar because they're coming right up!

 

fricanos
Is there actually any better way

to spend our next wintery Wednesday night than to head up to Fricanos Pizza on Alpine
 

to eat...

Art of the Table cheeses,

 

Fricanos spaghetti & meatballs, Italian salad and Fricano's pizza
 

all while sipping on awesome Italian wines brought to you by our friends at Veritas Wine Distributors and Mike Dombrowski.


 

Join us for only

$25 + tip (yes, seriously only $25!)

at 6:30pm for a cozy time with new & old friends, with wine & food in our chilly Michigan winter!  You'll need to call us at 301.1885 to sign up as we need to know who to count on!  Join us!


*****************

Then on February 10, more cozy with

 

French wines with Neil Ruane direct from the Burgundian estate of Antonin Rodet.

 

Burgundy is, "a magical word" that everywhere in the world knows evokes great wines and symbolizes history, tradition, intimacy and beauty. 
 

Rodet wines in the store are sold with the utmost confidence because they are that good without that price tag that so many high quality Burgundy wines come with.

 

Expect brilliant Chardonnay & Pinot Noir from Bourgogne, Chablis, Macon-Villages, and a few more...

 

Full out 4 course dinner with 6 wines - $50 includes tax & tip

 

The Winchester's Leisure Room (upstairs), 6:30

 

Again, we do need sign ups, please call the store sooner than later.  Seating is limited.
 

 

Food Tastings!

 


Over the next weeks we'll be having many fun food tastings in the store and hope

that you'll be able to stop by!  For every one of them we'll have free sampling and recipe ideas for you!


NEXT WEEK is Salt Week!  Stop in to try many different foods with various salts - like butter with salt and veggies & meats with salts, chocolates and even brownies with salt!


effiesMonday, January 24 is Effies cookies, brie & jam day.  This day is one that the employees can't wait for - as when I turn my back, they might just disappear into their mouths!  An Effies "sandwich" is a store favorite.

 

Tuesday, January 25 through the end of that week will be our

annual Winter Sale and we will have random items on the counter for you to try that will be...on sale!


Week of January 31 is Soup Week!   

Each day a different soup, bread, cracker for you to try! and we'll round out the week with Super Bowl snacks.

 

February 7 begins Sweets Week!

We'll have pretzels with chocolate, lemon curd & cookies, chocolate fondue using our Taza chocolates and more giving you inspiration for sweet gifts for your sweetie.  The culminating treat of the week is Patricia's Chocolate.  She'll be here all day February 12, giving samples and helping you box up chocolates for your sweet.

 

Dulcet Week lands the week of February 21.  This is one of those weeks that gives inspiration to meals that might have become dull & boring - giving way to easy yet exciting new meals - for a weeknight or a group of friends! 

 

 

We'll remind you again as these dates are upon us but put them

on your calendar now for stopping by when you're interested!
