SUMMARY:Corkscrew Rockbrook German Wine Tasting

There are so many cool wines coming out of Germany that we cannot wait for you to try— she’s pouring four wines AND we are offering a flight of three more for just $20. This is a great chance to experience it all! \nAmy was born into restaurant life in rural Minnesota\, learning the art of hospitality from her mom at their small family restaurant.

SUMMARY:First Thursday Wine Tasting at Carmela's
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Rising Stars \nWine is fun because of all the different varieties and production styles\, as well as all the cool people who make the wines. Sometimes\, you can see or even create trends in the market. Chenin Blanc\, a white wine\, and Cabernet Franc\, a red wine\, are both in this category. The nuances of Cabernet Franc in great wines made in Bordeaux are one thing\, but on its own\, the variety is uniquely compelling. Dark fruit\, black and green pepper\, and herb notes are often present in this variety. Chenin Blanc\, with its tendency toward minerality and stone fruit\, is equally compelling and unique based upon the region where it is grown. You will likely try something new and interesting tonight. \nCost: 5 wines for $15.00\, plus optional cheese plate course for $20.00 \nSeated Tasting at Either 5:30 or 6:45 p.m. \nReservations Recommended: Please call 402.489.0005 or make your reservation online at CarmelasBistroandWineBar.com

SUMMARY:Napoli's on South 48th Second Wednesday Wine Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Italy’s Take on the Classics \nFrequently\, when we focus on Italian wines you get to try varieties that you have trouble pronouncing and have maybe never heard of. In a way that’s a distinction of Italian wine but it’s not because international varieties can’t grow there. On the contrary\, the varieties we see in France\, California\, and other wine regions throughout the world also thrive in Italy. If you mention this column when you come in I’ll also let you try a secret weapon\, a bonus wine if you will. \nCost: 5 wines and Bruschetta for $10.00 \nSeated Tasting: 5:30 p.m. or 7:15 p.m. \nReservations Recommended.
