A Holiday Wine Tasting

"I wasn't going to taste many of the wines, but the Acrobat's bouquet and flavor was so intensely appealing I couldn't resist... and oh so good." - Robert

Our Holiday Wine Tasting on December 16th featured over twenty distinctive wines to savor, scrumptious nibbles of gourmet cheeses, lamb meatballs, and fabulous duck wantons - "I couldn't resist them drawing me back to taste over and over again..." said Paul ,while others also enjoyed our famous spinach and artichoke dip with brie. We would like to draw attention to and thank our restaurant manager, Wendy, for such a fantastic job with the hors d'oeuvres.

Besides the main event... The artists - WOW - we are very fortunate to live in a community of such highly talented artists! There was a rainbow of handmade gifts so tempting, pleasing to the eye and priced just right - from beautiful one-of-a-kind purses, lots of lovely and uniquely designed jewelry, hand-dipped caramel apples (yum!), designer originals, hand-made stem-glass charms, Bigfork Gift Certificates and so much more! The shopping for that someone special was a piece of cake (or.. candied apple?); well not really, because there were so many great choices. Not to mention that I found a few items for myself, too. Shopping and wine tasting was never so fun and easy!

"The name on one of the bottles of the Champagne made by the Roeder Family left me flat, but when Kevin poured it into the glass - I saw the very fine bubbles, picked up the glass and then I felt the bubbles bursting on my tongue. I was mesmerized." - Ray
