Hi all,

TUESDAY – Rumor has it that there is some kind of an important occasion on Tuesday. I checked with the Arizona Department of Liquor License and Control and “election days are like any other day.” So as an Independent we invite both Democrats and Republicans to come in after they have voted and watch the results.

WINE TASTING – Ron Feczko from Republic National is going to present the wines this Friday, Nov 7th. And Chef Anthony (Craig Driml) is going to cater the food. We’re going take a short trip around California. We’ll try the Steele Chard Cuvee, their Writers Block Pinot Noir, then the St Francis Merlot, their Cab Sauv, and finish with the St. Francis Old Vine Zin and the 100 year old vine Steele Catfish Vineyard Zin. It should be great!

The presentation Friday will start promptly at 6:00 PM. Remember this “ain’t LA” (thank goodness) so don’t be late. The wine class costs $10 per person and all the featured wines are 10% off. For the money you get to try the wines during the wine class and compliment them with the best food at any wine class in the state. We are limiting the class size to 45 and our apologies to those we had to turn away last Friday.

MUSIC – New hours! November 15th is going be another great night of live jazz. Bob Ravenscroft on piano and Dwight Kilian on stand up bass are going to play. Remember that there is no cover and no minimum. Just come in and listen to some really talented musicians play some really great jazz. We are changing the start times on those Saturday’s with music to 7 PM so they can play to 9:30.

THANKS – We appreciate everyone that came in the hear Rootdown on Thursday and Bryne on Saturday. We hope you had a good time.

OTHER – We have always given a discount of 10% if you buy a case (12 bottles) of wine. Starting today you get the discount when you buy only 6 bottles.

The wine totes are coming (or so I have been told)!

We’re going to give away a bicycle! The basic idea is that when you buy a couple of bottles of the very reasonably priced Bohemian Highway wines, you get entered in a drawing. They have a Pinot Grigio, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Chardonnay, a Merlot and a Cabernet Sauvignon for less than nine dollars each. Just before Christmas (yes Matilda there is going to be a Christmas this year) on the 19th of December we will have the drawing and someone will win the bike. And it is the kind you pedal, not the kind your favorite lawyer rides.

The Turley wines are very hard to get but we have their Zinfandel from the Ueberroth Vineyards. It is great (and expensive)!

You may have noticed that we have some wines on sale up at the front of the shop. These are excellent wines that are the older vintage or one that we can’t get more of or such. And you can save a few bucks off our already great prices.

We have WiFi available in the shop if you’d like to use it. Just ask for the password.

Have fun,
Liza and Bob
