I should probably stop pimping for The Wine Merchant, but their tasting this weekend has two things going for it: 1) they have some really good wines on the tasting menu and 2) it's free. So here are the details on the upcoming "Grand Tasting!!!"
Grand Tasting !!!I've had some of the wines on this list already. For example, De Bortoli makes really good low-end wines. I especially like their Chardonnay, but their Shiraz is pretty good too. I'm also really keen to true some of the Kalin Cellars wines, so I'm glad there's one on this list. In general Kalin Cellars aren't that expensive, but they range for $30 - $50, which is too expensive for me. And I'm sure the Silver Oak Cab will be great. So if you're going to be in STL this weekend, you might want to give this a go.
We cordially invite you to join us Saturday, February 18 at our Clayton & Creve Coeur Locations for another Grand Tasting. Our last Grand Tasting was a grand success. We'll be sampling new wines from around the world along with tasty items from our Award Winning Cheese Departments. Available space is limited. Reservations are required. See store for further details. We've got a great lineup of wines and to show you the value of our Grand Tastings we're including the prices of the wines that we'll be tasting (wines will vary slightly at each store location and we may offer equal substitutes in the event of sell outs).
