02/03/2012 Our annual Junk Food and Fine Wine Tailgate Party
Friday, February 3 from 6:00-8:00
This one sells out every year for good reason. Killer wines, really crappy foods that we all eat but don’t want to admit. In the past, some of the favorite pairings have been 1975 Rieussec with McDonalds Apple Pies, Bollinger Champagne with Twinkies and Leonetti Cab with Taco Bell beefy tacos. What will this year bring? Usually we have about 8 pairings, but you have to show up to find out what the menu will be. Reservations required and this one does have a fee to pay for all the food. $30 per person

Saturday, February 11 1:00-5:00
Nardone Italian Imports and the winemakers from two fantastic properties in Tuscany will be here with a great selection of wines and delicious Italian foods. The winemakers from Bibbiano, in Chianti and Il Conventino from Montepulciano will both be pouring their classic wines and Giovanni Nardone will bring his scrumptious cheeses, pastas, sauces and the like, all of which is perfectly matched to these wines. As usual, this is a free event.
