Hi all,

Yes there will be a wine class this Friday, July 27th. Danielle Loveall will be here to show us some of the fine wines that Diamondback represents. We’ll get things going with some Italian bubbles to show you this is the perfect time of the year for them and then we will do a great Sauvignon Blanc and Jim Norman’s Chardonnay. For the reds we will try a couple of red blends and finish with a big Cab from Washington.

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. Jamie, another personal chef, will be doing the food this week. Come by and see what he can do. You might to use him to do a special dinner for you.

We have been having larger than expected crowds lately so we are limiting attendance to 45 guests. Thankfully there were only 40 people that showed up on last Friday. I’m 0 for 2 with my last couple of jokes. I can’t even get a sympathy laugh with the tough crowds that are showing up. How about helping out a dying comedian and send me a good joke? I’m going to have to keep my day job.

Thanks to Scott Greenwold from Southern Wines for showing us some exceptional Australian wines and Karen Radke of “Cooling from the Heart” for pairing them with some wonderful food.

NOTICE! Root Down is back! Eugene & the guys will be back on Thursday, August 2nd at 6 PM. They will be playing a couple of sets so show up early.

One of our favorite customers and friend is raising money to go on the Arizona Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk in November. We are trying to help out by collecting donations for her. For a $20 donation we will give you a “Save the Boobies, Save the World” t-shirt. You can see the shirt hanging up in our shop.

Keep smiling,

Liza and Bob
