![]() "Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized." - Andre Simon This Week: Wine-Ed Wed/Thurs & Winemaker Event Sat. (& Evie's last day)On recession sales pitches from retailers: Ugh!There is probably no way to stop this onslaught by the market. Times are tough in the wine biz (and elsewhere). We will do (almost) anything to earn some of your wine business. If we have a wine in stock, we'll match any local wine store price. If you want a case of wine, we will order if for you pronto and match any local wine store. (Conditions: We can't match if it is below our cost. We can't match prices for previous sales.)Authenticity is our goal and we strive to provide great quality wines for fair prices. Wednesday & Thursday: Wine-Ed - learn & blind taste - $10Have 30 minutes on Wed. or Thurs? Drop by the Lab for a casual course on wine. Starting at 5:30 PM, and repeating while there is demand, we will view the first chapter of Jancis Robinson's video wine course. This week: Chardonnay.Wines which compliment the chapter will be tasted blind. Each week we will offer a new chapter with wine tasting. RSVP encouraged, but not required, by clicking this button: ![]() Regular menu and wines by the glass will be available. On Thursday, we will break to watch the VP debate. Saturday: Winemakers Jeff & Julie
