All White Tasting
Thursday, August 19
This Thursday evening we're finally holding our yearly All White Tasting. I usually have this event earlier in the summer, but I figure we can still pull it off. Technically, white is fine until Labor Day - right?
We'll be tasting whites from Italy, Portugal, France, and the US, plus a trendy half bottle of bubblies I just learned about. All moderately priced to get you through the last bit of summer. Some will be full-bodied, some zesty, and some simply delicious. One way or the other, you'll find something to please your tastebuds. Join us from 6 to 8.
All-white attire only if desired. But this could be the last chance we can do so for the season!
15% August Discount
wine-sense will be offering a 15% discount on mixed-case purchases throughout August.
Last Crush aka "wine wall"
There is a bit more Marselan left. A fairly new grape, mostly grown in the Languedoc, it's a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache that has been around since the early 1960s. Great chillable red for the remaining hot summer days. Regular price $11.99, on the Last Crush shelves for only $7.99.
August Six-Packs
Each month this year we'll be offering a carefully-chosen mixed selection of six wines in a practical, stylish and eco-friendly wine-sense six-bottle tote.
There are three different price levels to accommodate your budget:
$65 [a value of $76]
$85 [a value of $105]
$120 [a value of $135]
Always with a hidden jewel to keep your taste buds entertained. It's like a wine club but without the big commitment!

Back to School Classes:
Bordeaux & Burgundy
Staring this Fall we are beginning our much-anticipated four-part class reviewing the two most in-demand French regions: Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Join certified wine educator, Ron Homan and myself to learn all about these two famous wine regions and the wonderful wines they have to offer.
- What can a Bordeaux or Burgundy label tell you about the wine inside?
- How can you tell from the label what the grape varieties are?
- What does Chateau on a Bordeaux label really mean?
- What is a Burgundy Domaine and how is it different from a Bordeaux Chateau
- What is the significance of the shape of Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles?
- What caused the rivalry between the two regions that continues even today?
All wines have been carefully chosen to match this four-part presentation.
