Hi all,

Peter Franus, the winemaker at Peter Franus Wines, will be here March 8th! So there won’t be a wine class on Friday the 7th. We will taste through most of his lineup and everything will be available for sale. You can visit his web site at www.franuswine.com. His wines are amazing! And Chef Craig Anthony of the Edge of Taste is going to cater the affair. His food is as amazing.

On this Friday, Feb 22nd, Carol Howard from Valley of the Sun Wines will present wines from the Napa Valley APA. My recollection is that we will start with a Chenin Blanc from Chapellet then move into the reds which will include a Merlot from Atalon, a Zin from Titus, a Primitivo/Zin from Elyse, a Cab Franc from Titus and Blend from Chapellet. I hope I did better at this list than I did last week.

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.

Thanks to everyone who came by last Friday for Scott’s presentation. He is a lot of fun. My apologies to those that didn’t get in. And thanks for listening to Inner Journeys on Saturday. They played a style of jazz that is rooted in history and great to listen to. We are going to have them in on the third Saturday of every month. We are limiting attendance to 45 guests so please don’t show up a minute or two before 6:00 PM and expect to get in.

Heather is going to help us with another Fine Wines and Facials on Wednesday, Feb 27th. To quote from her flyer, “pamper your palette with fine wines and pamper your skin with a facial & microdermabrasion skin treatment!” It is only $10 for the wines and the facial. Make a reservation by calling her at 602 677-9535.

Rootdown can’t make the date to play here on Thursday, February 28th, so we are looking at a date in March. We’ll let you know as soon as we get something picked that will work for everyone.

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

We have a great new publication about the Arizona wineries. It has a lot of information and is beautifully done. Look for it by the cash register next time you check out.

Have fun,
Liza and Bob
