Last week, Gary shared some of his personal experiences about visiting one of the homes provided by Angels' Arms in one of our Saturday tasting seminars. We were somewhat surprised to realize how many of our customers seemed unfamiliar with the work that Angels' Arms does! If you visit their website you can read about their mission statement and the many events that they organize throughout the year to raise money for their cause. Still, it can be easy to overlook the message...
 
Please, take a minute to read over their website, and think about these facts:
 
Angels' Arms has already PURCHASED Four (4) homes in the St. Louis area.
These homes are really something to behold, too. Furnished by generous donations from construction contractors, home goods stores and money raised at events like The Amazing Taste, these homes are not just buildings for foster children to live in, they are homes where they can grow and learn and be loved - as any child deserves. 
 
Since it's inception, Angels' Arms has kept 45 sibling groups together.
When siblings enter foster care, there is no other system in place to keep them from being separated. When they enter an Angels' Arms home, they are placed in a family environment with their sibling, and allowed an opportunity (sometimes a unique opportunity) to experience just how a family is meant to function.
 
There are only 58 more days to make your reservation! 
Tickets are $25 per person and only $20 per person when purchased in groups of 10 or more. Also - this year is the first time "Reserve" tickets will be available! Purchase a "Reserve" ticket at Lukas Liquor Superstore or by calling (636)227-4543. Only 75 Reserve tickets remain of the 100 originally released!
 
If you've ever wondered about the cool "stuff" on display at Lukas... 
This is your chance to take home a BBQ grill, lawn chair, kayak or other unique liquor-branded swag you've seen on display at Lukas Liquor Superstore. Your purchase of raffle tickets or a winning bid at the Silent Auction table will help give a child a chance!
 
This year - like always - Lukas will donate 5% of the day's sales to Angels' Arms
 This is the one fact we think is most often forgotten. This year, since the event will be held at the Wildwood Town Center, simply bring your credit cards and take advantage of special AMAZING TASTE discounted event pricing on all the wines, beers and spirits at the Amazing Taste!

JULY PICKS OF THE MONTH 

We taste over 2,200 wines a year.
Every once in a while - we taste a wine we like!
Each month, several of us tell you about our current favorite.
Great idea, eh?
Gary's Pick:
Gazela Vinho Verde $6.99
Gary is STILL in third place this month behind Hannah and Tim. Please help us keep him there. Support Jeff and MC's picks! Don't make us suffer the humiliation of a Gary Bilder Pick of the Month win... 
 
Tim's Pick:
Tarima Monastrell $7.99
Tarima Sangria:
2 Btls Tarima Monastrell
Sliced Rich Summer Fruits (about 3 lbs)
    Mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, etc.
1 C Inexpensive Domestic Brandy
 
Mix the above and let sit (refrigerated) overnight
Serve over ice & top with a splash of grapefruit soda
 
Hannah's Pick:
Noble Estate Muscat $14.99
Sweet enough for a man, but I like it, too.
 
MC's Pick:
King Estate Pinot Gris $14.99
When the most expensive wine on the Pick of the Month rack is $14.99, it's a good month. When the most expensive wine is a Pinot Gris - you MUST try it. 
 
Jeff's Pick:
Eve Chardonnay $12.99
Jeff and Eve have a lot in common. They both hate wearing clothes, they both love to question authority, and they both love a good (un-oaked) Chardonnay.
