Our first class of 2013 is scheduled:
Vine to Wine
On Thursday, January 24th, we present our in-depth introductory wine class. 7:33pm
Join us for a fun and educational evening of wine which chronicles a vine's bud break in the spring to each of its grapes being lovingly squeezed into the bottles that we hold so dear. We cover how vines grow, how wine is made, how to read a label, how to buy wine, how to store wine, how to drink, er, taste wine... and we'll debunk many wine myths throughout this two hour class.
(includes tasting wines, video presentation, and handouts)
Thursday, January 24th at 7:33pm
$36 per person
Reservations required

Tasty Tuesday!
The Wagram Power Hour
with Anton Bauer * *Anton Bauer not included
This Tuesday, January 15th, we present our mid-week FREE wine tasting. Every Tuesday is tasty! From 5:00 - 7:00, we host this bonus tasting of three wines to get you through the early week and land you safely on hump day!
 Young, passionate, and already iconic, Anton Bauer of Austria's Wagram has established his wines as some of the region's finest. What's even better news for us is that they remain exceptional values! At this week's Tasty Tuesday, we'll be tasting his ripe, expressive Grüner, searingly dry (and seriously delicious) Riesling, and his elegantly rich Pinot Noir - each equally impressive in its own right and perfect in the WEEKLY price category! And don't forget:
Our Tasty Tuesday 20% Mixed Case Discount! After you taste, put together 12 bottles from our Tasty Tuesday lineup, and we'll take an entire 20% off!
