Going Going Gone Tasting
6.00 PM - 7.30 PM
Vintage changes can be tricky things for wine distributors. The new vintage comes in but there always seems to be a case or two of the old vintage left over. We like to snag those bin ends, usually at a very good price, and pass along the savings. We’ll be popping open some of our latest finds. Come in for a taste and grab what you like – because they won’t be here for long.
Rustenberg Five Soldiers Chardonnay 2007: (Stellenbosch, South Africa)
Price: $29.99 (usually mid-$30s or higher)
Kanonkop Paul Sauer Bordeaux Blend 2004 (Stellenbosch, South Africa)
Price: $32.99 (usually high $30s – low $40s)
Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2000 Magnum (Marlborough, New Zealand)
Price: $48.99 (a Frankly Wines exclusive, usually $54.99)

This vs. That Thursday Tasting Series
6.00 PM - 7.30 PM
Stop my most Thursdays this summer for our flash educational tastings. We’ll pair up two (or three) wines that illustrate key wine-geek concepts. Maybe an oaked vs. and unoaked Chardonnay. Or a sweet vs. dry Riesling. Or what the heck we mean when we say “earthy” or “floral” or “minerally.” You’ll taste a little, learn a little, and maybe discover something new.

Island Wine Month - Some Sicilian Things
6.00 PM - 7.30 PM
Not spending the month of August luxuriating on some island somewhere, soaking up the summer sun? Well, neither are we. So we’ll just bring the island to Manhattan by declaring August (and the last few day of July) ISLAND MONTH! During this time we’ll be featuring wines from Greece, Sicily, Long Island, the Canary Islands, and the isles of Croatia. Think of it as a holiday in a bottle.
Tonight, we’ll be pouring some Sicilian Things.
 Come by and try a white, red, and sparkling rose, all from the island of Sicily. If you think Sicilian wine are all big, jammy, hot-tempered fruit bombs (assuming you even think of Sicilian wines at all), you are in for a surprise.

Red: Cos Cerasuolo Classico - $31.99
White: Casa Ibidini Insolia - $11.99
Sparkling Rose: Murgo Sparkling Brut Rose - $29.99 Buy one of each at the tasting, get a 5% discount.
