Some wine shops in NoVa have e-mail lists of their tastings, but they are not quite hip to the blog concept. I aggregate those e-mail messages here to make my life easier. Shops include The Curious Grape in Shirlington,VA and Wide World of Wine in DC. I am in no way affiliated with any of these businesses.

Planning a holiday barbecue this weekend?  For serious grilling, like steaks, ribs, and chops, there's nothing like a big, chewy red to make it a truly satisfying summer meal.  We're pulling out the big guns for some real summer fun TONIGHT, Tuesday, June 30 from 6 to 8 pm, with a special tasting of the top, over-the-top red blends of Four Vines, all of which just became available.  While you may know them best for Zins, the hard-charging, Harley-riding winemakers at California's Four Vines also produce an in-your-face lineup of bold, full-flavored blends.  Tonight's tasting offers a rare opportunity to taste them all, including:
  • Heretic Petite Sirah
  • Anarchy, a blend of plush Syrah, inky Mourvedre, and spicy Zinfandel
  • The Peasant, a decidedly new world take on Chateauneuf-du-Pape
  • And Loco, a Spanish-inspired blend of Tempranillo, Grenache, and Syrah 
Of course, you'll also enjoy the tasting bar discount on all your favorites!  Or mix up a case of Four Vines (including Chardonnay and Zin) and enjoy a special discount of 15% off!  Reservations are not required for this tasting; just stop by anytime from 6 to 8 pm!
