FOOD AND WINE | 2012 FIRST EDITION
Thursday, January 19
Opening up a handful of pretty serious wines at a great value. All paired with this month's favorite cheese line-up from our friend Matt at Whole Foods. For those who are watching what they eat, please join us to so you can watch us too. Actually, I do believe in diets very, very much. I simply don't believe on the ones that make you miserable. Moderation is the key for pretty much EVERYTHING!
Supporting small local businesses, it really makes a difference!
Free tasting from 6 to 8.
NEXT Book on the Vine - Joint Book | club
Thursday, February 9
For our next read, Jen from Andover Bookstore thought of choosing a book that will work well in correlation with Valentine's Day. Is a quick book enough to get you in the reading mood.
The Lover's Dictionary
by David Levithan, sold at Andover Bookstore.
"In David Levithan's unconventional and clever novel The Lover's Dictionary, he explores a relationship not chronologically, but alphabetically. He chooses the perfect words to capture the happiest and most bitter moments that we share with our lovers and partners. Each word is accompanied by a "definition" in which Levithan tells a story based on that word and its significance to his two main characters. You're going to love this quick, sweet, honest read!"
One of my favorite definitions: Alfresco, adv.
We couldn't stand the city one minute longer, so we walked right into the rent-a-car place, no reservation, and started our journey upstate. As you drove, I called around, and eventually I found us a cabin. We stopped at a supermarket and bought a week's worth of food for two nights. It wasn't too cold out, so we moved the kitchen table outside. The breeze kept blowing out the candles, but that didn't matter, because for the first time in our relationship, there were plenty of stars above us. The wine set the tone of our conversation – languid, tipsy, earthy.
"I love dining alfresco," you said, and I laughed a little. "What?" you asked.
And I said, . . . . "
So, are you in? If you are planning to join us for this book club meeting and wine tasting, please let us know by replying to this email.
Non bookclub members welcome. We are tasting Bordeaux with French native, Celine Pfeiffer.
WHAT'S GREEN Ribbon?
If you're interested in organic, sustainable farming, natural agriculture, and/or biodynamic wines, please look for the GREEN ribbon on the bottles. It will help make your search easier.
Never Miss a Tasting Again!
Welcome to the era of social networking.
Another great way to stay in touch and keep up to date with last-minute wine-sense happenings.
