90 Points or Higher Tasting with Dr. L.O.V.

Saturday, October 20th
4:30 - 7:00

Those customers who have been long time regulars at our tastings are very familiar with our special guest tonight. Laurence O. Vulelta, or as we call him 'Dr. L.O.V.', is the local Sales Manager for Aveníu Brands, an import company that brings us many of our favorite Spanish, Argentine, and Californian wines. Laurence has been a friend and supporter of Hope Valley Wine & Beverage since day one, and at this point has probably been the guest host at more tastings than anyone else we work with. And we're thrilled with that, because not only are the wines he represents delicious, but his personality fills the room. His passion for the wines he represents is contagious, and is easily matched by his knowledge about the wines and wineries. For this tasting, he has selected a great line up of wines from his portfolio, all of which received at least 90 point or higher ratings from a national publication or respected critic.  Some of these are long time Hope Valley Wine stock items, and some are brand new to us as well, but all will be tasty!
