If God forbade drinking, would He have made wine so good?
Cardinal Richeleu
Bordeaux is one of our favorite wines and although the first growths and other top wines of Pomerol and Saint Emilion carry a hefty price tag you can still find a few great values even among some of the classified growths in St. Estephe, Margaux, St Julien and the Haut Medoc.
After the success of the last few week’s “Happy Hour” tastings, we have decided to carry on this casual event over the summer and this tasting is a belly up to the bar, hang out with your friends. The food is casual, this is not a sit-down dinner- a true “Happy Hour” style event mix and immingle with our “Wine Drinking People” but with GREAT wines. Tonight, we have a great selection of Bordeaux wines from the dry whites to cellar worthy reds and of course no Bordeaux tasting is complete without the great sweet wines like Sauternes or Barsac.
I have also included all the wines from Bordeaux that we have in the store on SALE on this offering just in case you wanted to host your own Bordeaux wine tasting events.
This tasting starts at 6pm and chef Toni will be making some appetizers to accompany the tasting wines. The fee for this tasting is $55 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
