Thanksgiving Feast tasting Saturday 2-10pm

It’s that time of year again! Time for our annual Thanksgiving Feast.

For those who haven’t been to one of our Feast events, it’s a rare treat.

We bring in an entire Thanksgiving Day meal, and choose wines, beers and spirits that pair well with each course. You get to taste the food and the drinks together, course-by-course. You’ll discover how much better it tastes when you put the right things together, and you’ll get to make your own informed choices about what to buy for your own meal.

The menu includes traditional Thanksgiving snacks, appetizers, main dishes, sides and desserts. And, not only can you taste, choose and buy the drinks you want to serve at your Thanksgiving – you can order any of the dishes you taste for pickup on Wednesday. It’s Thanksgiving made easy!

Also, this year we are being mindful of the economy and everyone’s general ambition to be value-conscious. So we have purposely chosen affordable wines, beers and spirits to feature. Wines are all under $15; and beers are under $10. You really can serve and enjoy great drinks without breaking the bank….we’ve done the homework to find the right choices for you.

We hope you’ll stop by Saturday and join us. It’s not very often that you get the chance to do a full-meal tasting in this way. And we have a lot of fun with it, too.

See you then! (Saturday 2-10pm)
