Holiday
Wine Extravaganza This Saturday, December 12
This Saturday is the giant Holiday Wine Extravaganza at The Savvy Wine
Cellar. Join us from 2-5 p.m. when we welcome Daniel Salamone of
Martin Scott Wines, Dean Vlassis of Lauber Imports, Don Griffin of Elmira
Distributing and John Nissen of Southern Wines and Spirits. Each of
these wine professionals will be pouring five of their very best holiday
wines for you to sample. They'll have sparkling wines, wines for holiday
dinners and parties and wines to give as gifts. Set your alarm
clocks and get here early. We're ready and waiting at the door with
tasting notes and wine glasses. AND we'll make sure you get to meet
all of our guest pourers. Don't
miss it...Saturday, December 12 from 2 to 5 p.m.
The list of wines is too long for this space, but here are a few that
we'll be tasting:
Mionetto Prosecco,
Bitch Bubbly, Schlumberger Sparkling Brut and Rosé, Kilkanoon Killerman
Run Shiraz, Dr. L Riesling (Wine Spectator 2009 Top 100 Wine), Layer Cake
Cabernet Sauvignon, Envero Carmenere, Decero Malbec, Paso Creek
Zinfandel, White X...and so much more. Check Friday's
newsletter for a complete list and tasting notes.
FYI-We will not be tasting wines on Thursday or Friday this week so we
can be ready for you on Saturday.`
