Hello everyone,

We normally think of 13 as an unlucky number, but it won’t be bad luck this Sunday, June 13th.

From 1-3 p.m. we will have 13 wines for under $13 available for tasting. Many of these wines are new to Grapes and Tases and the rest are wines that normally don’t get the attention that they deserve. For just $5, try all 13 with cheese and crackers. If you like any of the wines, you can purchase them at special prices available only on the 13th.

On another note, hard to believe it’s mid-June already and Father’s Day is almost here, isn’t it? We can make your Father’s Day shopping much easier with our newly expanded selection of premium cigars. Treat dad to a fine stogie and Port or beer.

And, for a really special gift, sign dad up for our Cigar, Wine, Beer and Food Tasting being held Wednesday, June 16 at Galioto’s Twelve21 in Cedarburg. We’ll be matching cigars, beverages and small plates from Galioto’s for a tasting event you don’t want to miss.

Mom’s and others are welcome too, as we will have an alternative selection of cigars for those who like light, fun, and flavored smokes. For more info, see our events calendar, call 262-376-1200, write us at info@grapesandtastes.com, or stop in this weekend.

To reward you for making it through this message, we offer another trivia question. The first 10 correct answers get a free bottle of wine!

Here it is (we dare you to try to answer without using Google!):

In what country is the world’s most southern wine region located? Send your answer to info@grapesandtastes.com.

Cheers!

Finally, we’ve started the sign up for our first Wine Tasting and Food Pairing, to be held Wednesday, February 10 at 7:00 pm at Vintage Cafe in Downtown Cedarburg. As the new operator at Vintage Cafe, Chef Deb is excited to show Grapes and Tastes customers what Vintage Cafe is all about. The $15 fee includes wines, food, a souvenir glass, and discount purchase coupon. Sign up soon as the spots are filling up quickly.

Also, don’t forget to show your support (if you haven’t already) as we pursue the Class B license and zoning to allow us to serve glasses of wine and offer more expanded tasting in the store. Here’s the link to the petition: Support Grapes and Tastes!

See you soon!
