tastings this week   


ornella raboso 

 

ornella molon

Our big news of the week is that on Saturday

we're hosting a tasting with

Massimo Furlan of

Ornella Molon & Vigna Traverso Wineries!

  •  

This Saturday from 12-2:30 you have the chance to taste wines while talking with a distinguished Italian winemaker himself!

 

Massimo's vineyards extend along the plane of the Piave River to the south east of Treviso, Italy.  This area is known for producing top quality wines, thanks to the sea & soil.

 

Their old vines are farmed using old methods and they prefer quality to quantity, reducing the amount of grapes in order to make better wines.  They farm red grapes including Raboso (if you want to know what that is, you had better stop in!) and white grapes like Traminer & Pinot Grigio.

 

For this tasting we will be showing off the Pinot Grigio, Raboso Frizzante (a red sparkler!) and the E'ros, a fantastic red blend.  Also available to taste will be the Vigna Traverso wines which include the Troi (a really cool red blend that contains a crazy grape called Schioppettino & Raboso too!)

Stop in anytime, no need for a plan, we're laid back,

just like the Italian!

  •    

June Thursdays are for wine tasting! 

 

Every Thursday in June we'll be uncorking those sample bottles to let you taste wines (Fridays are for beer...) Our June theme is a bubbly, white & red theme.  Each Thursday one of each will be opened from a specific country. 

Come in each Thursday and learn by taste!

June 9 ~ Argentina: Bubbly, White & Red

June 16 ~ France: Bubbly, White & Red

June 23 ~ Italy: Bubbly, White & Red

June 30 ~ USA: Bubbly, White & Red

   

  

And if you're still paying attention, THIS WEEK'S tasting will contain

four wines of choice including the coveted  

Reginato Sparkling Rose of Malbec.  We're talking delicious
