With Thanksgiving right around the corner it is a time to give thanks. What better way to than with a great bottle or two of wine? We have made this as easy as pie by marking our recommendations with a turkey (go figure). If you won’t be carving up a bird this year we would be happy to help you choose that prefect wine to go with your special dish. We will, as usual, have some great wines out for sampling to enjoy while shopping at Grapes and Tastes. So let us give thanks!
Black Friday will not be so black at G & T. In fact it will be more like red and white. Get all your shopping done in one place while enjoying a glass or two of wine and relax! Remember we have wine, mixed six packs of crafted beers, gourmet food items, fun wine glasses, gift baskets and if you just can’t decide gift certificates. Forget the malls and crowed stores and do stop by Grapes and Tastes.
We are thankful for all our wonderful customers!
Cheers!

Grape Greetings,
Not to sound dreary and all, but our recent weather has brought us a few, damp, chilly, gray days. Don’t know about you, but those days make us want to grab a bottle of great Zinfandel to sit and and relax and warm up with.
For anyone not familiar with this wonderful varietal, Zin is an aged grape planted in over 10% of California vineyards. DNA fingerprinting revealed that it is genetically equivalent to the Primitivo variety traditionally grown in Puglia (the “heel” of Italy). The grape found its way to the United States in the mid-19th century, and became known by variations of the name “Zinfandel”. The grapes typically produce a robust red wine. Red berry fruits like raspberry predominate while blackberry, anise and pepper notes are common.
We now have twelve different Zins and Primativos in stock at Grapes and Tastes, and every one has it’s own unique characteristics. They range from light, smooth, smoky old-world style wines to big ol’ fruit bombs loaded with raspberry, plum, and lots of spices. Whatever your taste, there’s a Zin or Primativo for you!
So, stay warm this week with a little Zinful pleasure!
Cheers!

As you know, we love to keep our wine selections fresh and are always on the lookout for new wines that you will enjoy.
That leads us to our free wine tasting next Saturday, October 8, from 3-5 pm. We will be introducing 7 (Seven!) new wines from Avanti Wines, our newest fine wine supplier. The wines will range from light crisp whites to full bodied reds, from around the world. They will definitely have one thing in common, though – they are delicious!
We’ll also put out some food samples to show off some of the new gourmet foods we’ve brought in – from fantastic wine jellies (great on a cracker with cheese and wine!) to artisan cheeses , sausage and chocolates.
The fun starts at 3:00 next Saturday!
Cheers!
