It feels as if Spring has sprung. Who knows if it will last, but while
the sun is out to warm your soul, we have a visiting winemaker this
week whose charm will also warm your heart. Nicola Argamonte from Corsini Winery
in Piedmont will be at the shop pouring his wines from 5 - 8pm.
Read more below and please come join us for this wonderful chance to
taste Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Barolo!
Last Thursday
is tomorrow and we've dressed the shop up with a few new works of art
by local artists. Stop in and check out the walls, grab a bottle
of wine for dinner and then walk across the street because it's also Free Corkage Night at the Alberta Street Oyster Bar & Grill
for cork customers. A great way to drink from an expanded wine
list - we just ask that you choose something they don't already have on
their wine list, as we want to support their wine program while at the
same time offering you more choices.
Come taste Sonoma and Napa
wines tomorrow. We had a last-minute cancellation, so there are
still a few seats available for the Backroom Tasting. Details
follow.

UPCOMING EVENTS
|
THIS THURSDAY: CALIFORNIA BACKROOM TASTING: NAPA & SONOMA
FEB. 28 · 6:30pm · $20/person
Fresh
from a trip to Napa and Sonoma Counties, Sara and Darryl will lead a
discussion of what we learned. The tasting will include a flight
of three Napa white wines that will make you rethink the combination of
the words 'Napa' and 'white wine'. We'll then taste a total of
six reds from Napa and Sonoma, including an older vintage of
Zinfandel we had sent back after our trip. Wineries featured will
include White Rock, Snowden, Luna Vineyards, Grgich Hills, Bucklin,
Unti, Petersen, Davis Family Winery and Green & Red. This is a
wine-only tasting, so plan on grabbing a bite beforehand or taking your
favorite bottle across the street to the Oyster Bar for dinner
afterward (call them for reservations too, the tasting should wrap up
by 8pm). Space still available - call us at 503.281.2675 for reservations. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED!

FRIDAY NIGHT FLIGHT
|
 CORSINI Wines from Piemonte, Italy
Friday, February 29 · $12 tasting fee · 5 - 8 pm
We
are very pleased to welcome Nicola Argamonte to the shop on Friday
night. Fortune must be smiling on us, as Nicola is in town
showing off the new vintages of his wines and didn't have plans for
Friday. We can help with that!
He will be on-hand to pour
the 2006 Matot (a blend of mostly Dolcetto and Barbera), the 2006
Barbera d'Alba, the 2005 Barbera 'Armujan', the 2005 Nebbiolo and the
2003 Barolo. The only problem we ever have with Corsini wines is
choosing which ones to carry in the shop, since they are all so
good. Please join us for this terrific chance to talk with the
winemaker, taste delicious wines and snack on some new arrivals in the
meat and cheese department, including Salumi's Winter Salame blend and
some soft asiago pressato. $12 tasting fee includes wine and
snacks. Drop-in tasting, no reservations required. |
