Cave Creek Wines

Hi all,

Carol from Valley of the Sun Distributing will be doing the presentation at the wine class this week (Friday, November 2nd). She is a “Presentation Virgin” (almost) so please be on your best behavior. She’s going to show us wines from the Central Coast of California including an organic pinot gris, a wonderful white blend called Eccelstone, a reasonably priced Pinot Noir, the Kenton Syrah, a blend from Peachy Canyon and a late harvest Viognier from Cambria as a finisher. It should be great!

The presentation 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 in the valley at any wine tasting. We have been having larger than expected crowds again so we are limiting attendance to 45 guests.

Great news! Chef Jimmy of Scott’s Place has agreed to prepare the food at one wine class a month. That will give Liza a break and you can taste some of his wonderful fare on a regular basis. His next appearance is going to be on November 9th when Lena from 4inWines is going to show us some great Rieslings. Mark your calendars!

Thanks to everyone that came by to listen to Jason and try some of the wines from Alliance Beverage. Judging from the sales there were several wines that we’ll be keeping.

The La Crema Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley is now in stock. New too are three wines from Oak Creek Vineyards and Winery. We have the Chardonnay (which is real clean and flavorful), the Petite Verdot (very big and very good) and the Zin port (done in a less alcohol and less residual sugar style). We’ve started carrying Sole Mineral waters, both the still and the sparkling. And if you haven’t been in lately, we have a HDTV up in the corner and it will be tuned into the NFL game on Sundays. And we’re watching the World Series too. Come by for a glass and cheer a bit for your team.

Keep smiling,

Liza and Bob

Hi all,

Whew! It was quite the week. Thanks to everyone that participated in the events that went on and our condolences to those of you that missed some of them. It was fun.

Jason from Alliance Beverage will be doing the presentation at the wine class this week. The golfer, Nick Faldo, has a wonderful Sauvignon Blanc that we will start with. So much for the whites! We’ll then try the great value Concannon Pinot Noir, a zinfandel from Temptation, a shiraz/cabernet blend from Wakefield, the BR Cohn Cabernet Sauvignon and finish with the ever popular Bogle Phantom.

Hi all,
Chef Jimmy of Scott’s Place is going to be preparing and presenting the food this Friday the 19th of October to go with the wines from Orangewood Distributing that Gary is going to show. We’ll be tasting the Chatom Sauvignon Blanc, the Con Brio Pinot Grigio, the Frank Family Chard, the Chatom Zinfandel, the Boeger Tempranillo and then the Frank Family Cab. This will be one to remember!

Liza T’s Discount Shoppe is having their First Birthday Party on Wednesday the 17th from 6 to 8 PM. If you haven’t seen her place stop in, look around and enjoy a wine tasting courtesy of Cave Creek Wines. Bryne will be playing with Jay Soto and Entree’s Made Easy will be sampling from their menu.

Not only were the wines great at the La Crema Pinot Noir tasting last Wednesday but it was fun too! We found a new one to bring into the shop. Their Anderson Valley Pinot Noir was the clear winner.

Local artist and friend Craig Driml is unveiling his latest piece of art on Tuesday October 16th at 7:00 PM. This particular piece is going to be entered in a wine label contest. Please come and enjoy a free glass of champagne and see the unveiling from the “Crayon Artist”. Tuesdays have turned into a sort of “pot luck” so feel free to bring in an appetizer or some cheese to share.

And Bryne is going to play here on Saturday, the 20th. This is going to be the last free music evening. We’ll be charging a cover on subsequent events.

New this week is three wines from Oak Creek Vineyards and Winery. We have the Chardonnay (which is real clean and flavorful), the Petite Verdot (very big and very good) and the Zin port (done in a less alcohol and less residual sugar style).

Hi all,

The First Annual Wine Challenge was grand success! Thanks to everyone that came by to pick up some wines and help out Linda’s girls. This Christmas will be a lot better for them because of you. And thanks to Linda for setting the whole thing up. Everybody had fun and there were lots of door prizes won.

I’ll be doing the wine class this Friday, October 12th. We’re doing some new wines that we haven’t had at a tasting before but the theme is “Wines from states that have an ‘A’ as the second letter of their abbreviation”. There will be a white blend from WA, a Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara, a pair of Zins from Lodi and Paso, a meritage and a Cab from CA.

The presentation 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 in the valley at any wine tasting. We have been having larger than expected crowds again so we are limiting attendance to 45 guests.

We are going to try something different this Wednesday, the 10th of October, starting at 6:30. We are going to do a flight of La Crema Appellation Series Pinot Noirs (Russian River, Carneros and Anderson Valley). These are three of the nicest Pinots you will ever taste and they are priced about $30 per bottle. Oh, the tasting is free, too.
