Hi all,

WINE TASTING – Christy from Action Wine is going to do her first presentation this Friday, June 6th. And we’re going to try lots of reds! We’ll feature the wines from the Peirano Estate Vineyards in Lodi. They make lots of great wines but the ones we’ll try are the Viognier for a white and then the Merlot, the Malbec, the Petite Syrah, the Barbera and a blend called “The Other” for reds. You’ll love the wines!

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’ve had plenty of room for everyone lately.

FUNDRAISER – Priscilla Copeland is putting on a “Sip and Shop” at the shop on Sunday, June 22nd from 2 PM to 4 PM. She will have a beautiful line of Sterling Silver Jewelry for sale and 100% of the proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity. Please come by, have a glass of wine while you get something pretty for yourself and help out a worthy organization.

MUSIC – There is a little shake up on the music dates this month. On the first Saturday in June, when Bryne Donaldson would ordinarily play his sax for us, he has a real gig with Jay Soto in Temecula at a Jazz Festival. So he will play on the 14th instead. Then Bob Ravenscroft and Dwight Kilian will play on the 28th. You still get a chance to hear these great musicians twice in June but it will just be on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays rather than the 1st and the 3rd.

THANKS – We certainly appreciate Devin for showing us some of Alliance Beverage’s wines on Friday night and Ron for doing the same with some of Republic National’s wines on Saturday. And thank you for showing up and supporting us!

WINE TRIP – There is still that one spot available on the 3rd Annual Cave Creek Wines Wine Trip! We will be in Sonoma from July 25th thru the 28th. We’ll fly into and out of Oakland. We are staying at the Flamingo Resort in Santa Rosa. Cost for the weekend is about $800 person based upon double occupancy. A $400 deposit by cash or check will get you in on this fun trip.

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

We have a new edition of the publication called Arizona Vines and Wines. 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
