Wine Sale & Tasting - October 8
(Just One Week From Today)! |
 Join us in the Main Hall of the Flood Mansion next Wednesday, October 8, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. for an elegant evening of wine tasting, all to benefit Celebrate Spring 2009. Link here to review the wine offerings and to RSVP.
Several members of our Convent & Stuart Hall community will be on hand with tastes from their family vineyards. Don't miss the chance to greet Michelle Keene, David and Diana Sullivan, Julie Husic and Scott Chafen as they pour some amazing varietals from their wineries.
Among the wines available for tasting and purchase are:
Promenade's Cabernet Sauvignon is hand crafted and combines intense blackberry, charcoal, and a hint of vanilla. From the Stag's Leap region of Napa Valley, the wine has been aged for 20 months. Promenade's Pinot Noir is luscious, balancing the fruit flavors of strawberry, plum, and citrus.
The Rosso Giovani Monferrato, 60 percent Barbera and 40 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, was aged in barrique for 14 months. There are only 1,200 cases available in the U.S. market.
Montalpuno's Chianti Reserva is an elegantly structured wine that has been aged for 16 months.
Tenuta La Carlina's Brunello Riserva was awarded 96 points by Wine Spectator, which called it "Black as night; full-bodied, with loads of tannins, but ultra refined." A can't-miss choice!
Don't miss out on these and many other wonderful selections next Wednesday evening. Cheers!

Warmest thanks to those of you who have generously given your gently used Halloween costumes to Seconds-To-Go; you have supported the schools and given our shoppers the chance to take advantage of some spooky, scary, and, in some cases, sparkly outfits, perfect for their children to wear on All Hallows' Eve!
