As you may know, Andover was struck by an intense thunderstorm on September 8 which caused us to postpone our Annual Grand Tasting. However, we’re happy to announce that we’ve rescheduled for Saturday, September 30. The Annual Grand Tasting commemorates the store’s birth in 2006 and also marks the end of the summer, when my wine reps and I are excited to share and taste the latest Fall arrivals. We’re thrilled to celebrate another fruitful year with a collection of unique offerings from wine-producing regions in Italy, Croatia, France, Chile, Spain, New Zealand, and the US. Let’s raise a glass to many more years of fantastic wine and delightful company!

This is an outdoor tasting if the weather permits, otherwise, we’ll move it indoors. You must be over 21 to attend and be ready to show your MA ID.

David and Melanie are a husband and wife team who keep the climate in mind. Tending 50-plus-year-old vineyards – among the oldest vines known in Rioja – they have an intense respect for their land and work only with indigenous grapes. In 2016, they completed their new winery with a minimal intervention approach, designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape like a chateau. The sustainable design operates “off the grid” with the use of solar power and partially subterranean construction, featuring concrete fermentation tanks to regulate the temperature inside the winery. Join Arik at the tasting table as he shares these beauties with us.
