WINE TASTING THIS WEEK END


Free Wine Tastings this Weekend.

Exclusive Wines from Italia with Small Vineyards.

CAMPANIA - Tenuta Ponte 2007 - 100% Coda di Volpe
An ancient, full-bodied varietal from Campania, Coda di Volpe is virtually unknownin the States, but shares much of the appealing characteristics of Italy's most popular whites. Grown on cliffs over-looking the Tyrrhenian Sea, the wine is the perfect result of its location -- fresh, salty, rocky, and ripe from the intense Napolitano sun. Aromas of plantain, lemongrass and sweet basil swirl in the glass, and complement any seafood fare or Asian cuisine. A great value.

TUSCANY - Rigoloccio Rosso 2006 - 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Alicante.
A highly inspired blend of Cabernet, Cabernet Franc, and Alicante, this wine marries medium-bodied approachability with exceptional zesty flavor. From the famed Maremma in Tuscany,the beautiful Rigoloccio estate has a sweeping view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and borrows much of the wine's fresh, salty and pepper complexion from the big blue. This wine is slathered with flavor, extract, balance, minerality, tannins, length, deft cooperage, color and smile-inducing layers on the palate. Dusty and slightly herbaceous, Rigoloccio benefits greatly from the famous pyrite mine carved below the root system -- the flinty.


VENETO - Trevisol Prosecco Frizzante - 100% Prosecco.
From Valdobiaddene's grand family of prosecco, Paolo Trevisiol delivers an absolutedelight with this delicate, pleasing prosecco made in a wonderful, traditional frizzante style. Tiny, delicate bubbles deliver flinty aromas of acacia flower and Meyer lemon, all with Trevisiol's trademark minerality borne of his remarkable moraine soil. Finished with a classic French-style crown closure, the wine is perfect for lighter summer fare, especially oysters, fried chicken, or fresh fruit.

GIPSY MANDOLIN


A graduate of the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist with over twenty years professional performance experience, Tim has been immersed in a variety of musical styles since he first began classical piano lessons at age seven.While working as a pianist and bassist in Boston, Tim delved deeply into the traditional Irish music of his youth, studying with renowned composer Michael O'Suilleabhain and master flutist Meabh Ni Fhuarthain. This work led him to the mandolin, and also to New England Conservatory, where he studied classical mandolin with Robert Sullivan, Jewish traditional music with klezmer guru Hankus Netsky, and modern improvisation with Ran Blake, receiving his Masters degree in 1997. While at NEC, Tim first heard the recordings of the great Brazilian choro mandolinist, Jacob do Bandolim, which led him to study this music with Brazilian choro masters Paulo Sa and Hamilton de Holanda, and with the legendary American mandolinist Mike Marshall. Tim currently lives in Portland, Oregon and performs choro and gypsy jazz with Rio Con Brio and Clambake, Irish music with The Yellers, Portuguese fado with Bossa do Fado, classical and Latin music with Toscana, and original compositions with Terracoustic. His study of Brazilian and Irish music, combined with his many years as a bassist and pianist have helped Tim synthesize a personal style on the mandolin which is harmonically advanced, rhythmically diverse and brimming over with sparkling ornamentation and romantic intensity.
