More Wine Tasting Details

Below is the list of wines for the upcoming wine sale on Monday December 21. As you can see, almost all are going to be available for the tasting. The ones that are not are clearly indicated. There may be a few last minute changes but we think this is pretty much the final list.

Again, the tasting is Monday beginning at 5pm and will run until approximately 8pm or even later if necessary. Please call and let us know if you intend to attend, only so we have a good handle on how much food to prepare. There are no formal reservations and you can arrive anytime after 5pm.

One other thing. The admission is $20 and if you have any Preferred Points you can utilize your points for the admission cost. However, you cannot use points to purchase any wine at the sale.

Hope you can make it!

As always, you can click on the order form to enlarge it.

Wine Tasting and Sale

We have a had a fair number of responses about the potential Wine Tasting and Sale for this coming Monday, December 21. So it appears to be full speed ahead!

Tomorrow afternoon (Thursday) we should have a comprehensive list of the items for sale as well as those to be tasted. It will be posted here on the blog as soon as we get it compiled. But for today, here's a sampling of a few items and the savings to be had.

Franciscan Chardonnay - Normal retail $20, we'll be selling at $13/bottle.

Groth Cabernet - Normal retail $60, we'll be selling at $42/bottle.

Rutherford Hill Cabernet - Normal retail $39, we'll be selling at $25/bottle. You can't beat that with a stick!

We'll have some more economical offerings as well, such as the Veramonte line of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot. Normally these retail at $13.00 per bottle but we'll be selling them at $10 per bottle on Monday.

We will have approximately 20 different wines to taste and probably about twice that number of selections for sale. So lot's of savings and some real bargains on high end reds.

More info tomorrow so check back early and often.

December Lunch on the 23rd

The menu for next Wednesday's lunch in the Restaurant is below.

Might be a good opportunity to play hookie from work and bring some friends or family Downtown for shopping, skating, or just something different.

Call 513-721-8901 for reservations. We need 30 reservations to make this event happen. Hope to see you Wednesday.

Wine Tasting and Sale - Gift Idea!

We are thinking about having a wine tasting and sale next
Monday evening, December 21, from 5pm until 9pm.

Here is how it will work:

WINE - Approximately 20 different wines will be offered for tasting. Reds, Whites, and Sparkling. We will have representatives available to discuss the wines with you.

FOOD - We will have a wide variety of displayed hors d'oeuvre and canapes available until 8pm (Note: Not enough for a dinner, but plenty to accompany the wine).

∙All of the wines will be available for sale as well and will be offered at discounted prices. We will have order forms available for you to use for your purchase. You are not obligated to buy anything.

∙We will have the list of wines to be tasted listed here on the blog by Thursday afternoon of this week.

∙This is an informal "walk around" style so there won't be any formal presentation. You may arrive at any time after 5pm.

The cost for the tasting is only $20 and that includes the food and the wines to be tasted. Additionally, anybody ordering in excess of $100 in wine that evening will have the $20 admission credited to the wine purchase.

∙Again, these wines will be discounted and will be offered at prices that aren't likely to be matched at your local wine shop.

∙Any wines purchased that evening will be available for pickup on Wednesday, December 23 OR, if you purchase more than $100 in wine we will personally deliver it to your residence (so long as it's within the 275 loop) before the 25th.

So that's about it. It's a great opportunity to taste some wines and to maybe get some last minute Holiday Gifts for friends, family, co-workers, etc.

The reason we say we are "thinking of this" is because we need at least 30 guests to express an interest in attending to make it worthwhile for the wine representatives to be here. So give us a shout and let us know if you think you would like to attend and how many people might be coming with you. You can leave it in the comments or just phone in and let us know. We will determine by Friday afternoon at 5pm whether this is a "GO" or not and it will be posted here on the blog. We will try to gauge the interest level and go from there.

Questions, or to express interest, call The Phoenix at 513-721-8901. Let us know what you think.

Win a Car

And get a charitable conribution before year end at the same time. Seems that the organization Tender Mercies is selling raffle tickets to win a two year lease on a new Honda (or $5,000 cash option). The tickets are only $50 and are being limited to 800. They've informed us that there are still tickets to sell and the drawing is tomorrow (Sunday) at 3pm at Tower Place.

So we thought we'd see if we can drum up a couple of sales. And the thing is, you can buy the tickets online so it's hassle free and helps a good cause. If you're interested, visit their website here and you can get all of the details and make your purchase there.
