Hi all,

We’ll be closed Thanksgiving Day but will be open regular hours (noon to 9 PM) on Friday.

Todd Bostock, the owner and winemaker at Dos Cabezas Wineworks, will be doing the presentation at our wine class this Friday (November 23rd). We’ll be doing three whites and three reds. The whites are all single varietals (Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc & Viognier) and the reds are all blends (a secret blend called Red, a Mourvèdre/Grenache blend called El Norte & a Sangiovese/Cabernet blend called Toscano). These are some really nice wines that are very reasonably priced.

The presentation 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. Even though we don’t expect a crowd on the day after Thanksgiving, we have been having larger than expected crowds again so we are limiting attendance to 45 guests.

Thanks to Dan from Paso Fino Distributing for doing a great presentation of some great wines. The desert wine called Black Monnkka was the clear winner as it sold out early and seemed to be enjoyed by everyone. I heard it described as caramel, Crème Brule and pecan pie. We’ll have more on Tuesday.

Chef Jimmy of Scott’s Place will be making his next appearance on Friday, December 7th.

The silent auction for the items to raise money for Linda’s girls went very well so she was able to raise a lot of money to make Christmas special for her girls at a local shelter.

We’re starting a “Match the Faces” contest. Again the proceeds will help out Linda’s girls. Bring in a baby picture and a grown up picture and we will post them on the wall. For $2 folks can guess which goes with which and the winner will get the right to buy a bottle of wine for a buck (Arizona laws being what they are).

Have a great turkey day,

Liza and Bob
