Cave Creek Wines

Hi all,

WINE TASTING – Ron Fescko from Republic National Distribution Company is going to show us Wines from South America this Friday, September 26th. We are going to taste 4 Malbecs, a Carmenere and a red blend. Yes, nothing but reds!

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.

MUSIC – Another great night of jazz is coming! Bob Ravenscroft is back from Colorado so he will be on the piano and Dwight Kilian will be on the stand up bass on this Saturday, September 20th at 6 PM until 8:30 PM. You will be impressed! Remember that there is no cover and no minimum. Just come in and listen to some really talented musicians play some really great jazz.

OTHER – We have some free tickets for the Home & Landscape Show on September 26th thru 28th. There’re by the cash register.

On Sunday September 28th we’re having a Wine Class at 4 PM to raise some money for the Arizona Breast Cancer 3-Day walk team called “Team Walking On”. For $20 you get to try 5 wines with some cheese and fruit. There’ll be raffle prizes and a 50/50 drawing for some great prizes.

Then on Sunday October 5th we’ll have the Second Annual Wine Challenge. For every bottle of wine sold between 4 & 5 PM we will contribute a dollar to Linda’s Santa’s Secret Shoppers. She has been helping out a shelter for years and this is a good way to help her raise some money. Hope to see you then!

We’re still investigating going GREEN! We’re going to sell some wine totes at cost (with our logo on them so you won’t forget). Then each time you use one on a purchase of two or more bottles we’ll deduct 25¢ from your bill. You won’t get rich but you’ll help the environment a little. They’re on order and will be here soon.

We have the new edition of the publication called Arizona Vines and Wines. It is free, has a lot of information and is beautifully done. Look for it by the cash register next time you check out.

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

Have fun,
Liza and Bob

THANKS – Thanks to all of you that came by on Friday. It was fun to meet the artist Ken Schilling and taste his wines.

Hi all,

WINE TASTING – None this week! With the holiday, a mixed up delivery schedule and Liza in the Philippines, things just didn’t work out for a class this Friday, Sep 5.

Scott Greenwold of Southern Wines was originally scheduled to do the class and I was supposed to ask you what wines you want him to show. Of course I forgot but I’m doing it now. Please send me an email to eel55@qwest.net with your favorite wine, a wine you have never had but have always wanted to try or whatever wine you would like to taste. We’ll get a list together for his next class in October.

Kent Schilling, the artist and winery owner than was here a year ago, will be back on Sep 12th. He has some really great wines!

I’m going to be in Minneapolis on the 19th in conjunction with my “other” job so there will not be a wine class that Friday.

MUSIC – Another great night of jazz is coming! Bryne Donaldson will be back with his sax on his regularly scheduled first Saturday of the month. That is September 6th. You will be impressed! Remember that there is no cover and no minimum. Just come in and listen to some really talented musicians play some really great jazz.

THANKS – Thanks to all of you that came by on Friday. The wine class was almost a sell out so everyone got in.

OTHER – We have an unwritten policy to just send out a single email per week. But sometimes some people forget that there is music on Saturday from the email the previous Sunday. Last week I asked if anyone objected and all the responses I got were that a reminder wasn’t a bad idea. So I’ll send out a reminder email later in the week so you’ll know that Bryne will be here on Saturday.
