Tasting this week: Vinho Verde Staycation ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น

Sheโ€™s easy, Sheโ€™s breezy, Sheโ€™s beautiful Vinho Verde. Join us this Thursday on June 11th as we taste through 5 gorgeous little wines from this famous and special northern Portugal region.

Yes, vinho verde means โ€œgreen wineโ€, but it more specifically translates to โ€œyoung wineโ€. Vinho Verde is a region, and has no specific single varietal - it may even be red or rose! Often coming in at a lower ABV, VV is an absolute perfect wine for patio sipping, dinner preparation, boat days, and beyond. Plus, the retail price is always easy, breezy when it comes to Vinho Verde.

Join us to taste through mainly the white version, plus one rose and red for diversity:



Arca Nova Rose

Quinta do Ermizio VV

Casa do Valle Branco

Mendes & Symington Alvarinho+Avesso

Casa do Valle Tinto

$17/person. No reservations needed. As always, we taste at 6pm ๐Ÿ’Œ

The winemaker in charge, Pepe, has also been making delicious still wines (Can Sumoi) from local grapes - weโ€™ll taste through a few of these delectable pours as well.

Come celebrate and enjoy a tradition made possible by a true rebel.

On Offer:

Blanc de Blancs Brut

Brut Rose โ€œde Nitโ€

Can Sumoi Ancestral Montonega

Can Sumoi Garnatxa Blanco

Can Sumoi Rosado โ€œLa Rosaโ€

A Piรฑa by Any Name: an agave labelling & tasting seminar ft. Lou Bank of ๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Lou is returning to TC next week, Wednesday, June 3rd friends & especially you agave lovers!

This time weโ€™re talking through labelling regulations, laws, and rules across all agave spirits, including Tequila, Mezcal, Raicilla, and Bacanora. The tasting will highlight well-known, smaller producers and Lou will give an in-depth class on just how things need to be labelled to be considered โ€œofficial,โ€ what happens for producers who donโ€™t follow the rules, and what to expect from the industry moving forward.

As always, a portion of the ticket sales and any bottles sold tonight will go directly to Louโ€™s non-profit, SACRED Agave.

$40/person. 21+ to attend. Event runs 5:30 to 7:30 / Space is limited - grab your spot ASAP!
