WINE OF THE WEEK:

We haven’t met many people who don’t
like Zinfandel. So friendly, approachable,
and gregarious, it’s basically a party in
a bottle.

And really good ones are also quite
delicious, like the Wine of the Week,
the 2009 Trinitas Old Vine Zinfandel:

“Aromatics of braised short rib lightly
dusted with white pepper and bay leaf,
in a coffee and chocolate reduction sauce
jump out of the glass. The mouth is
extremely rich and full with a soft roundness.
Flavors of fig and cocoa powder compliment
the fine dusty tannins that linger on your tongue.”

That’s the winery’s description; see what you
think! You can taste it at the bar this week.
This WOW is $19.97.

WINESDAY FLIGHT:

This Wednesday, 4/24, join us for
a delicious flight of 3 half glasses for
just ten bucks.

Blackjack Ranch “21” Chardonnay 2008, $17.97
-exceptional Chard with all the right components
in all the right places; tropical and citrus fruit,
oak accents, and terrific balance between acidity
and a creamy, buttery texture.

Ehret Family Knight’s Valley Cabernet 2006, $23.97
– A sultry wine with aromas of ripe black currants,
leather, and tobacco. It is full and lively on the
palate, showing dark fruit and vanilla, as well as
firm, fine-grained tannins on the finish.

Trinitas Old Vine Zinfandel 2009, $19.97
-this week’s WOW, described above!

FRIDAY SPECIAL EVENT!:

Those of you who didn’t make last Friday’s
tasting event really missed out! It was an
absolute blast, the winemaker was a kick,
and the wines were amazing.

Lucky for you, we’ve got another great
shindig cooked up for this Friday!

This is a special tasting event (cost is $20)
that will focus primarily on kick-ass Cabs,
and it’s gonna be a ton of fun!

Have a great week!
