May 2008 We have our regular “Alive
After Five” wine tastings on Thursday from 5 to 7 pm. Our
tastings are complimentary, educational, and most of all,
fun. Better yet, you’ll taste your wines the same
way
we do—out of crystal stemware!

Thursday,
May 29th The Wines from Importer Louis/Dressner
Another portfolio that
we are crazy about is Louis/Dressner Selections. They
have a portfolio of over 60 vignerons in Burgundy,
Mâconnais, Beaujolais, Loire, Bugey, Jura and
Languedoc-Roussillon. We’ll taste wines from
their fanatical growers who are doing their best to
make wines that are original because they are honestly
crafted.
