Hi all,

WINE TASTING – After great deliberation, which explains the lateness of this email, Craig Driml from Divine Wines is going to show us some of his favorite wines this Friday, October 3rd. We are going to start with a Cava from Barcelona, the Sauvignon Blanc from Graziano, then try a real favorite, Kilda Chardonnay. The reds will start with Australian Shiraz before a pair of cabs, one from Hans Fahden and the other from the Central Coast. Craig is always a hoot and the wines are 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 are limiting the class size to 45.

MUSIC – Another great night of jazz is coming! Bryne Donaldson will be back with his sax on his regularly scheduled first Saturday of the month. That is October 4th. You will be impressed! Remember that there is no cover and no minimum. Just come in and listen to a really talented musician play some really great music with a jazzy bias from 6 PM until 8:30 PM.

OTHER – Then on Sunday October 5th we’ll have the Second Annual Wine Challenge. For every bottle of wine sold between 4 & 5 PM we will contribute a dollar to Linda’s Santa’s Secret Shoppers. She has been helping out a shelter for years and this is a good way to help her raise some money for a great cause. She has door prizes from Starbucks, Big O tires, The Chiropractic Group, Divine Wines, Republic National Wine Distribution Company and many, many more. There will be pizza and munchies. Hope to see you then!

THANKS – Thanks to everyone that came by on Friday to listen to Ron tell us about some really great South American wines and to everyone that came by on Sunday to make the fund raiser for the Arizona Breast Cancer 3 Day such a success. Thank you!

OTHER OTHER – We’re going GREEN! We’ve ordered some wine totes and will be selling them at cost (with our logo on them so you won’t forget us). Then each time you use one on a purchase of two or more bottles we’ll deduct 25¢ from your bill. You won’t get rich but you’ll help the environment a little.

Liza is having a Jewelry party on October 26. Buy $20 or more in jewelry and you can buy a glass of wine for 25¢. Mark your calendars!

We have the new edition of the publication called Arizona Vines and Wines. It is free, has a lot of information and is beautifully done. Look for it by the cash register next time you check out.

We have WiFi available in the shop if you’d like to use it. Just ask for the password.

Have fun,
Liza and Bob
