Weekly Saturday Tasting

French Wine Tasting Extravaganza!

Authentique Vin Double Tasting
with special guest hosts Thomas Meunier and Greg Pfaender

Saturday, July 26th
1:00 - 4:00

We always try to make every tasting during our Summer Sale extra-special, and our good friends from Authentique Vin stepped up to the plate to help us put together a monster tasting! This tasting is so big that we are extending our normal tasting time an extra hour, and will be pouring until 4:00!
Authentique Vin has long been our favorite importer of French wines, both because of the quality of the wines as well as the quality of the people behind them. They import wines from smaller, family owned wineries, all with enormous respect for their land and vineyards. The large majority of their wineries follow organic if not biodynamic agricultural methods, and all of them follow at least sustainable agriculture and are working towards organic certification. Their selections span the breadth and width of France, and we've selected some great examples from all over the map. We will be joined by the owner/founder of Authentique Vin Thomas Meunier, along with National Sales Manager Greg Pfaender. Long time tasting regulars will know both Thomas and Greg very well, and can tell you this is not a tasting to miss! We'll be pouring 4 whites and 4 reds, plus 1 sparkling rosé, so there will surely be something for everyone. We are already seeing numerous price increases on European wines from tariffs, with more likely to come, so the deep deals we will be offering at this tasting will be some of the best prices on French wines you might see all year. We hope you can join us at this fantastic
Summer Sale event!

 Upcoming Tastings

We have several other top notch tastings planned for the second week of the sale which you should definitely attend!


Tour of Italy with Michael Maller
Tuesday, July 29th 5:00 - 7:00
Our friend Michael Maller of Orsini Wines recently traveled throughout Italy with importer Nicola Biscardo, visiting with winemakers and seeing their vineyards. He returned with a palpable excitement over this portfolio, so we asked him to pick four of the standouts from his visits and to join us to pour them for you!
