Thank you to all who joined us for our Tax Day Event on April 15th. Being able to take a deep breathe and relax with a nice glass of wine after the stress of completing tax returns is a great way to end the day! We’re glad you chose to share your time with us.

First Thursday Local’s Night

We’ve had a wonderfully busy weekend, and only now can I sit to write about our April First Thursday “Local’s Night”. Patricia and I were there throughout, and the room had a good feel to it. It is always nice to see our members there- and it was doubly nice to see so many new faces! Patricia was the unofficial “Madame du Chais” of the evening, and she encouraged everyone to try the 2005 Cuvee Noir Pinot by the glass. It was probably because the wine is absolutely stunning, and probably not because that wine is going to be renamed as “Patricia’s Cuvee”! Local guitarist John Harr entertained us, playing classical guitar. If you listened closely, you noticed that he sometimes threw in a classical interpretation of a rock ‘n roll song- that’s thinking outside the box! All wines were available at the Member’s Discount of 20%, for Member’s and Locals alike. Everyone saved and savored, and most attendees took a bottle or two home with them… Malia, Michelle and David were busy all evening. Rather than limit our guests to a handful of selections, we had every wine (and we mean every wine) available buy the glass and by the bottle. It was so successful, that we think we’ll make that the standard format for Local’s Night: we will serve flights (which of course are complimentary to Members) until 6pm, and then after 6PM we will serve glasses and bottles ONLY (at Member’s discounts). That will allow us to better serve all attendees to our increasingly popular Local’s Night Events. Thanks again for all of your support- please join us for flights of Dobbes Family Estate and Wine By Joe every day until 6, and for First Thursday Local’s Nights for 20% off ALL bottles and glasses.
