We'll be tasting related wines from different producers including Sauvion, Fleury, and Sparr throughout the night. Also, Cabot Cheese has been gracious enough to sponsor these trivia nights and provide some great cheeses to pair with the wines. Study up! :-)
Grapevine Travelers Hosts an Early Spring Wine Tasting
Apr 05, 2008 (Sat): The crocuses are poking their way up through the ground, the robins are returning & the air is slowly starting to warm up. This is the perfect time of year to embrace different white varietals from around the world that really peak at this time. It’s also a great time for lighter style reds that still pack a punch since this time of year can be so weather temperamental.

Organic Wine & Beer Tasting
Apr 05, 2008 (Sat): Judging by the popularity of stores such as Whole Foods, Americans have discovered the beauty of organic produce and household products. However, many of you are just beginning to appreciate the world of organic wine and beer. Perhaps it's because our definition of "organic" is constantly being expanded and redefined, so terms like "biodynamic", "sustainable farming" and "organically grown grapes" are all used to describe similar production methods.
Join Kurt at beautiful Green Meadows Farm as he shares some organic wine and beer (and probably a gluten free beer), accompanied by local cheeses and other savory treats. Tasting notes for the selections, with a brief explanation of the organic terms as they apply to wine and beer, will be available. For more information on the farm and its fascinating history visit them at www.gmfarm.com

Apr 05, 2008 (Sat): Celebrate Earth Month with Emiliana.
Fernando Pavon, brand ambassador for Emiliana Vineyards and certified sommelier, will be making a very timely appearance at the culinary center to profile some lovely Chilean wines, produced in accordance with nature. With all industries heightening their awareness and practices towards a more "green" standard, the wine industry in particular is implementing techniques which involve minimal impact on the earth. Fernando will decode some of these buzz words, including "organic" and "biodynamic," and teach us what they mean in a viticultural setting. Furthermore, he will be profiling some of their award-winning wines, including those from the Natura line. Sure to be a very educational and enlightening seminar.
Our complimentary wine tasting events are held every Saturday evening and our craft brew tasting are held every Friday evening.
Please call James or Laura for further details at 781-721-5900. We look forward to seeing this Saturday. Thank you.
Apr 05, 2008 (Sat): Spring and Summer always brings a constant stream of guests, invited and otherwise. With this in mind, we bring wines for every reason. Some of the wines will be light and fruity for summertime sipping. Others will be big reds suitable for grilled meats. In any case, these wines are all priced for everyday consumption.
