Hi all,

On this Friday, Feb 8th, Ron Fescko of Republic National is going to show us some of the fine wines from the Crescendo Winery. They’re a Napa winery that makes a Pinot Noir, a Zin, a blend and a cab. The cab was great! To round things out we will try the King’s Ridge Pinot Noir from Oregon as a comparison and finish off with the Penfold’s Tawny Port. And he promised not to mention “penguins”.

We’ve got a new Jazz group called “Inner Journeys” to play on Saturday, February 16th starting at 6 PM. It is a duo featuring Bob Ravenscroft on the piano and Dwight Kilian on bass. Both are accomplished musicians with multiple albums. And while I’m at it, Rootdown, your favorite improvisational jazz quartet, will play here on Thursday, February 28 th, starting at 6 PM. Hope you can make both dates!

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 week. August Kesseler was a great guy and his wines were superb. We expect the shipment to be here in mid March. Craig Driml’s presentation of the Graziano wines was fun and the wines popular. We are limiting attendance to 45 guests at our wine classes. Please don’t show up a minute or two before 6:00 PM and expect to get in.

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
