Come Explore Spain(ish) Wines
Don’t Miss Tuesday’s (Old World) Wine Club Wine Tasting.
Wine in Europe comes from old traditions. Wine was considered healthy.
In fact, wine and other alcoholic drinks were very popular in ancient times because water was not safe to drink.
So let’s join in our ancestral tradition and drink some wine!
Old world wines reflect the culture of the people who created them and the flavor of the land in which they grew. SO let’s toast to the wines’ history while we enjoy them.

Louis/Dressner Tasting with Josefa Concannon
Wednesday October 17th, from 6 to 8pm come and meet Josefa Concannon from Louis/Dressner Selections. These wines…where do I begin? Every wine nerd has a bottle that changes the way they see wine. The wines from this portfolio STILL change my outlook constantly. These wines have such purity and life, and always over deliver for the price. These wines act as a photograph of time and place. They evolve in the bottle and the glass. They may not taste the same year after year, but you want to taste the differences. These are wines that get people who love wine excited, or maybe angry, but there’s no sitting on the fence. They’re real, and they want your attention.
Feast Wines
