The Land of Oz
6:00pm to 8:00pm
Australia truly has a wine for every palate. Taste this dry Riesling next to a well-balanced Shiraz: they're two of the best values to come out of the country recently - and that's saying a lot. They're both perfect outdoor wines, too.

Lambrusco!
6:00pm to 8:00pm
Lambrusco is a fun, festive type of Italian red wine that more people should get to know. That's just our opinion, of course; but we invite you to stop by Friday evening and see if you agree.

Warm-Weather Favorites
6:00pm to 8:00pm
Leyda brings us two pitch-perfect South American expressions of French varietals: the Sauvignon Blanc is all flowers and honey, while the Pinot Noir (a classic, just like the name says) is full of tart red fruits. Either one would be ideal for a summer picnic.
