Friday 4/11/14

It’s time to get serious.

REAL serious. No goofing around,
no pretending, no joke.

It’s time for a Top Shelf Wine
Tasting Event.

Date: Friday, April 11th, 2014
Time: Any time from 4-10 pm
Cost: $30

THIS is what we’re talking about:

Col Solare 2008, $39.97
-93 points Wine Advocate; “Clean, elegant,
and layered, it has the structure to continue
evolving gracefully for another decade or more.”

Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cepages 2010, $59.97
-93 points Wine Spectator; “Firm, dense and muscular,
with a tight core of vivid blackberry, spice, cedar,
loamy earth, black olive and cigar box notes, framed
by gripping tannins that extend the flavors.”

Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, $79.97
-94 points Wine Spectator; “Combines very ripe,
spicy dark berry fruit that’s even a touch racy,
with a firm backbone and a well-structured mix
of acidity and tannins. The fruit is potent and
concentrated, yet also shows a suppleness and
measure of grace.”

Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, $89.97
-93 points Wine Enthusiast; “Incredibly lush and
delicious. It dazzles with rich blackberry, cherry
pie, currant and cassis liqueur flavors, perfectly
accented by sweet, smoky oak.”

Fontodi Flaccianello 2010, $139.97 ($129.97 day of event)
-97+ points Robert Parker; “Will take your breath away.
This is a seriously beautiful wine with the kind of
intensity and aromatic purity you only experience every
1,000 wines or so. The bouquet delivers a steady and
seductive evolution with dark cherry, chocolate, spice,
tobacco and sweet almond all seamlessly balanced.
Its texture and inner fabric is rich, velvety and firm.
There’s a brilliant spot of acidity that helps the wine
from feeling too heavy or dense. In fact, outstanding
elegance is what ultimately sets it apart.”

Nothing more to say except, we’ll
see you here!
