Hi all,

We are going to have a Sweet Sixteen party this Wednesday, March 26th. Obviously its not a birthday party but 16 tastes for $20. Craig Driml from Divine Wines will be doing the honors. Stop by and sample a bunch of great wines that will be available at great prices.

Well I’ve done it again. Jason Benedict from Alliance Beverage will be taking us to Spain for a couple of wines, then to California for a couple and to Australia for a couple of more. He was kind enough to tell me the exact line up a couple of times and I was able to lose the list a couple of times. The part I do remember is that they were all good and all reasonably priced.

Thanks to everyone that stopped by last Friday. And thanks to Ron from Republic National for being a little bit unconventional for us and for pouring the wines. It was a little bit different but still a lot of fun.

Last year we discovered a great claret by Robert Karl up in Washington. It was a hit and soon sold out. Its back! And we’ve added a couple of exceptional Zins. The top of the line from Peter Franus is from the Brandlin Vineyard on Mount Veeder and the best from Starry Night is from the Montafi Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. All three are wonderful! And all three are in stock.

Inner Journeys (Bob Ravenscroft on the piano and Dwight Kilian on the standup bass) are going to play on the third Saturday of every month. So their next gig is on April 19th. Mark your calendars! In the mean time Rootdown, as a quartet, is going to be in the shop performing at 6 PM on Thursday, April 3rd. They haven’t been in for awhile so we are looking forward to hearing them again. Of course there is no cover or no minimum drink, just come down and listen and enjoy.

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
