Hi all,

WOW! Thanks to all of you for making the Peter Franus tasting/class last night such a success. It was pretty hectic but fun. His wines really are amazing! And Chef Craig Anthony of the Edge of Taste did a marvelous job with the food. A great “Thank You” to both of them too.

On this Friday, March 14th, Toby from Quail Distributing will present Pinot Noirs from around world. I don’t know the order yet but we will taste Pinot Noirs from California, Oregon, Argentina, Italy, New Zealand and a country called France.

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. Unlike last night we are limiting attendance to 45 guests.

For you jazz lovers Inner Journeys (Bob Ravenscroft on the piano and Dwight Kilian on the standup bass) will play on Saturday, March 15th. They play a style of jazz that is rooted in history and great to listen to. Plans are that we are going to have them in on the third Saturday of every month.

For you non-Catholics, on March 21st, Good Friday, Ron from Republic National will be in the shop to sample some of his wines. No jokes, just a chance to try some good wines.

And we are going to have a Sweet Sixteen party on Wednesday, March 26th. Obviously not a birthday party but 16 tastes for $20. Craig Driml from Divine Wines will be doing the honors.

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
