Wine Lab Newport

Fortunately, some things change...

COMMUNISM, HYPNOTISM AND THE BEATLES

Over the past year we've occasionally tasted wine from eastern European countries and been intrigued by how delicious, interesting, and affordable they are. We've now collected the best of what we've tasted and want to give you a chance to taste them too. Stay curious and join us this Friday through Sunday for a unique former "RED" tasting flight:
  • Edi Simcic Chardonnay 2005 Slovenia
  • Kogl Saemling (white) Podravje 2007 Slovenia
  • Szoke Mátyás, Irsai Oliver (white) 2008 Mátraalja Hungary
  • Citluk, Vranac reserve 2007 Bosnia-Herzegovina
  • Pfneiszl, Kekfrankos, 2006 Sopron Hungary
  • Bibich Riserva 2007 Croatia (new vintage!)
Stetson Robbins of Blue Danube, who has visited some of these producers and introduced us to most of these wines, will join us Friday evening.
$17. Reservations Recommended.

Special Wine & Cheese Pairing ends this Thursday

We created a great flight of four wines paired with cheeses for Newport Beach Restaurant Week. It's been a great success. The wines are top notch and the cheeses sublime. All the wine is offered at nice discount to those who experience the flight.
Only $20.  Reservations not required but you can make them by (clicking here)

Next Tuesday - The Best Wine we've tasted for the $ from Argentina

We discovered Weinert a few weeks ago and had to let you all have a chance to taste these fantastic wines. Robert Parker says "Weinert is producing South America's greatest red wines - the qualitative equals of the finest reds in the world."
$12. Drop by anytime Tuesday, October 27th, 5 - 9 PM and taste the following great wines:
  • Weinert Carrascal 2005 (Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot)
  • Weinert Malbec 2004
  • Cavas de Weinert 2002 (Cabernet Sauvignon/Malbec/Merlot - Yes, this is the current release - they hold it till it's ready!)
