If you're a long-time reader of the Wandering Wino, you probably notice a lot of the same listings in here week after week. It's not necessarily because they are Wino personal favorites; it's usually because they know when my deadline is and send their e-newsletters out ahead of that.
For example, I have really enjoyed the tastings that Vinea puts on most Saturdays at Mafoizas, but I rarely get to tell you about them in advance because their email usually goes out late Thursday or early Friday. If you don't have your drinking planned for the weekend by then, you're just stuck wandering. Luckily, thanks to a combination of an earlier notice by Virgil, Bradley, Josh and Gordon from Vinea and the fact that I'm a little late writing up this week's post, they beat my deadline.
In honor of this harmonic convergence, we'll lead the column with their event:
Well, here at the shop we're tired of snow, but c'est la vie, right? If you're tired of it, we want you to come out to our wine tasting this Saturday, Jan.29, from 3 to 5 p.m. at Mafiaozas. Bradley's cooking up a wonderful tasting of organic reds from around the world that retail for less than $20 per bottle. A word of caution though: Get there early. As some of you are aware, the number of people at our tastings are multiplying — this is a good thing — but we only have so much wine; so first come first served.
Apparently, they've been growing more popular without my help. Good for them! On to more upcoming tastings after the jump:
