Wine Tasting Please Join Us Friday July 2nd - 6-9 p.m. No Charge
Tiasta Torrontes $12
Gorgeous Torrontes from Argentina harvested from 30-year old vines in Mendoza.
Bright tropical flowery fruit and crisp citrus work perfectly with light salads and shellfish.
Pietra Majella Montepulciano d"Abruzzo $8 750ml / $14 Magnum! We always keep this spicy Italian red on hand, and are happy to now carry it in jumbo size. Medium-weight Montepulciano and Sangiovese with a taut balance of earthiness and acidity. We recommend sipping it with the mushroom and gorgonzola bruschetta at Brie & Bleu.
Cuvee des Colosses $20
We thought this wine would be great at Brie & Bleu with it's lovely French Rhone focus. But we can't pronounce it, can't really describe it, maybe this was just a dumb idea - Mais non! It's simply delicious - Syrah, Carignan et Grenache. As the label says, it's a "Sunny and Fruity Wine!" Please try it on Friday night.

Who do you think knows more about tobacco - someone that rides up on a chopper wearing a pork pie hat, ready to face the cameras - or a man that has been working the fields for 30 years?
