Hi all,

Devin from Alliance Beverage is going to do his first presentation this Friday, May 30th. We’ll start with some bubbles from Gloria Ferrer, try the Hess Su’skol Vineyard Chardonnay (WS top 100 last year), go to Washington for the Sageland Merlot and then see that organic can mean great when we taste the Bonterra Syrah, Zin and Cabernet.

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.

How about FREE! We’re going to have a free wine tasting on Saturday, May 31st. Ron Fescko at Republic National Beverage is going to be in the shop with eight great wines from California, Italy and Spain at 5:30 until 7:30 that Saturday. These wines are all new and will be available for order after you find out what you like.

There is a little shake up on the music dates for next 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, as I told you about last week, 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.

The 3rd Annual Cave Creek Wines Wine Trip is on! 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. We a single space left but will accept a couple and then work things out. A $400 deposit by cash or check will get you in on this fun trip.

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
