ANNIVERSARY PARTY, DAY 1:

We’ve done it! We’ve made it five years, and we are
ready to celebrate!

But we will NOT be celebrating alone. YOUR presence is
most definitely requested this weekend. And you want
to be here. You need to be here.

Let’s start with Friday the 24th, when we will offer not one,
but two tasting lineups, along with delicious appetizers and raffle
prizes galore. (seriously, we have a LOT of stuff to give away)

Here’s the $10 tasting:

Grgich Hills Fume Blanc 2012, 28.97
Lucky Rock Pinot Noir 2013, 14.97
Salice Salentino Negroamaro 2011, 10.97
Zaca Mesa Z3 2010, 33.97
Grey Wolf Big Bad Wolf Zinfandel 2012, 22.97
19 Crimes Red 2013, 10.97

Super fun lineup, for sure. Now take a peek at the $35 tasting:

Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2005, 79.97
Overture by Opus One, 109.97
Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, 109.97
Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, 99.97
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, 69.97

I’m not sure there’s a place in our galaxy where you
can taste wines like these in one sitting.

So join us for the Party of the Year! The tastings will
be available from 4-10, the appetizers from 5-9:30.

ANNIVERSARY PARTY, DAY 2:

We are likely to be bleary and weary when we rise on Saturday,
but we promise to put on our big boy/big girl pants and show
you yet another fantastic time on Day 2 of the Big Bash!

First of all, we will keep giving raffle prizes away. We were
thinking one drawing per hour from 1-9. But we have so much
swag on hand, we may have to do it on the half hour.

(btw, you enter by scrawling your name and contact info on
a card and dropping it in a bucket. you may enter once per
day, and you don’t have to be present to win)

Second, there’s the food! Guest chefs will be on hand from
2-9 to provide tasty nibbles. (Please keep in mind that these
are hors d’ouevres and not full meals.)

Of course we’ll have Bubbly on hand. The stellar, transcendant
Roederer L’Ermitage Brut 2006, 97 points Wine Enthusiast,
for just ten bucks a flute.

Then there’s the matter of tastings. As we have in previous years,
we are offering 50 cent tastes on a wide selection of wines.

Yes, you read that correctly. 50 cent tastes.

We’re not sure which day will be more amazing, because
they both will be completely off the hook.

We hope to see you for at least one of them, if not both!!

And THANK YOU once again for your support. We could
not have made it five years without you.
