BZ, Ashlee, Karen  and I look forward to seeing you around the shop and we wish you ( and your families) all the best for the Holiday Season and many success in the New Year!

2009 Annual Sparkling Wine Tasting

Saturday December 12th 1-5PM
It's that bubbly time of year again when the stars align for the annual Sparkling Wine Tasting at Cellar 101
We are getting our Champagne/sparkling wine groove on this month in anticipation of the holiday season.  This Saturday we will offer you more opportunities than ever to taste some of the world's greatest tiny bubbles.  Most people know Champagne as anything that contains bubbles and alcohol, but not all Sparkling wines created equal and only those sparklers made using the time-honored methods created by producers from the Champagne region of France carry this distinction.

For sparklings, we will include Prosecco, Champagne, Cava and Moscato d'Asti among others, and you will learn what makes Champagne different, and what kind of a flavor profile to expect when you see different types of sparkling wines in a wine store or on a wine list

This year's bubbles will be popping on Saturday , December 12th , from 1:00-5pm

It's a lot of fun and a wonderfull event that gets better and better each year!.
 
Dont forget we offer Organic, Free Range Eggs for sale on Saturday Mornings! 10-12PM
