Hi all,

WINE TASTING – I think Bob Piotrowski did our first wine class almost 5 years ago. Since then he has had a bunch of changes (all for the better) in his professional life and now he is back to do another one. This will be an Around the World tasting. Italian Prosecco, French (yes that is right) Sparkling Rose, Portuguese Vinho Verde, Argentine Malbec, Chilean Cab and an Italian Chianti will all be tasted. Bob only has the best palate I’ve ever seen so this should be great.

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 had a full house and my apologies to those we had to turn away.

FUNDRAISER – Priscilla Copeland is putting on a “Sip and Shop” at our 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 and some free appetizers while you get something pretty for yourself and help out a worthy organization.

MUSIC – Bryne Donaldson will play this coming Saturday, the 14th. Then Bob Ravenscroft and Dwight Kilian will play on the 28th. No cover and no minimum. Just come in and listen to some really talented musicians.

If you haven’t been in lately we have moved into the 21st century, finally. After months of promises we finally purchased an I-pod and Eugene has programmed it with countless hours of great jazz with a few “Easter Eggs” thrown in for good measure. So we’re not listening to the radio any more!

THANKS – Christy brought in some great wines last Friday at some great prices. We have been carrying The Other for awhile so some of you knew about it but now more of you know about the Malbec and the Petite Sirah.

WINE TRIP – The 3rd Annual Cave Creek Wines Wine Trip is full!

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
