In reference to all of the criminals that were shipped to Australia from mother England, 19 Crimes pays tribute to the "bold" gents that marooned on this deserted island nation. Regardless of how you may feel about these occurrences, the wine is as intriguing as the label and the stories behind the labels. For the first time in our history, we will be sampling through the 19 Crimes wine lineup which includes 19 Crimes Red Blend, 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Warden Red Blend. This brand is trending so why not stop by and see why.

Masciarelli Wines w/ John
How long has it been since we have been having these regularly occurring wine tastings with John? Years. John is both a Portfolio Manager and Sales Rep for Masciarelli Wine Co. so you can say he knows a thing or two about wine. But, unlike many wine experts, John doesn"t throw his knowledge around as a way of intimidating you. Instead, he consoles you and guides you through his wines in a manner that allows you to grasp and understand what tastes you are trying. We are not all cut out to be connoisseurs, but it is nice when someone like John can make tasting wine a fun and relaxing experience versus a stressful one.
If you have not yet met John or have tried his wines, this is the opportunity to do so.

Nobilo & Kim Crawford
Possibly the biggest two names to come out of New Zealand after Cloudy Bay, on the same day. This may not be a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it will be fun time nonetheless. So, if you find yourself with a few spares minutes, stop on by and enjoy some Kiwi goodness.

Santa Maria la Palma - "Aragosta" Vermentino
Delicately fruity, and easy to drink, it has fragrances of aromatic herbs and wonderfully refreshing acidity.
This wine pairs spectacularly with seafood, especially shellfish, but don"t let that stop you from just sipping it, or pairing it with a wide variety of salads, cheeses, or grilled chicken as well.
And it"s pretty good with Netflix too!
