We've sold about half of the Reserve Tickets that are available. This week's meeting with the City of Wildwood was an encouraging reminder that this year's Amazing Taste will be bigger and better than ever! We hope to see you there!

 On to this week's news...
 
A quick word of thanks to ALL of you who came out to see me in the Tasting Room last week. At first, I was nervous to be facing a group of thirsty customers, but I had a blast talking with all of you, and I hope to see you in there again soon! We had a great turnout for last week's Customer Appreciation Day! I hope you had as much fun as all of us here at Lukas did!

WHAT IS A RESERVE TICKET? 

Fancy Drinks!

If you purchase a "Reserve" ticket for $40 rather than a $25 General Admission ticket, you will be able to taste the most exclusive items at The Amazing Taste. In years past, high-end Champagne, Scotch, etc. has been available on a first-come, first-served basis. This year, items which are extra-special or extra-expensive will only be available to "Reserve" ticketholders.
 
Fancy Glass!
 
 
In addition to tasting some of the most exclusive-est (!) stuff at the event, Reserve ticketholders will also receive crystal tasting glasses to enjoy their super-fancy drinks!
 
RESERVE tickets are available for $40.There are only 100 of these RESERVE tickets available, and they can ONLY be purchased at Lukas Liquor Superstore.
 
 

AUGUST 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:
Clos Du Bois Chardonnay Calcaire $19.99
Gary is so sneaky... he tried to pick Tarima Monastrell as his Pick! I then had to remind him that Tarima won Pick of the Month LAST month! Also, try his Chardonnay.
 
Tim's Pick:
Cartlidge & Browne Sauvignon Blanc
Dancing Crow Vineyard $12.99
This sexy little number is a Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Lake County California. It is made with Organically Grown grapes which are farmed sustainably, and it's packaged with a screwcap to maintain it's fresh, crisp, clean taste. Perfect for summer (way better than Chardonnay). 
 
Adam's Pick:
Maker's 46 $32.99
They take fully-matured Makers Mark and age it on Oak staves for several more months for deeper complexity and rich caramelly deliciousness (it's a word). The result? Taste for yourself.
 
MC's Pick:
Leitz Out Riesling $11.99
With the Leitz Out, it's less dangerous.  
 
Jeff's Pick:
Congress Springs Lodi Pinot Noir $9.99
Jeff drank three bottles of this Pinot last week. He then passed out and slept through his shift. His excuse? "It was an Act of Congress." Okay - that didn't happen, but this is a great bottle of Pinot at a greater price!
