Happy Thanksgiving,

WINE TASTING – The next wine class will be on Friday, December 4th. Mona, from Southern Wines, will taste us on the David Bruce Santa Cruz Mountain Pinot Noir, the Steel Ridge Zinfandel from Dry Creek and Fetish, a Barossa Shiraz from the same winery that makes Gunslingers. We’ll have some other wines too but we haven’t decided on them yet.

At that wine class we are going to have the “WORST CHRISTMAS OUTFIT” contest. As in ugly! The winner will get the right to buy an excellent bottle of wine for 25¢. We have to be legal with these things.

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 (usually six) and compliment them with the best food at any wine class in the state. We are limiting attendance to the first 45 people.

ITALIAN DINNER & RAFFLE – Linda is going to have an Italian Dinner on Thursday, December 10th to benefit Santa’s Secret Shoppers. Of course there will be pasta and meat or Alfredo sauce but also breads, salad, a relish tray and a special dessert. You get all that and a glass of Italian wine for $15.

There will be prizes and a silent auction too! You will get all that and get to feel great about helping some girls that certainly could use the help at Christmas time. Reserve your spot now for a 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM seating.

RIESLING – We always carry a nice selection of Rieslings, mostly from Germany. These are great wines for the Holidays.

MUSIC – Rootdown is coming back on December 5th. You will love their up beat jazz style. Then sax man Bryne Donaldson will be back on the second Saturday in January, the 9th. Note that the 9th isn’t the usual first Saturday for live music. We hope to see you at both performances.

Have fun,
Liza and Bob
