We would like to thank everyone who came out to Vintage Tavern's Summer in Provence Wine Dinner. It was a really fantastic event and both the front and back of the house did a great job.

"ROSES WILL GO WITH EVERYTHING YOU PUT ON A GRILL!" We did some serious market research on 4th of July to come to this conclusion. I found this little collection at Grape and Gourmet last night - why don't you pick one up this weekend and prove this theory yourself! European Roses are our favorites because they tend to be fruity and dry. The 3 French Roses shown here are SENSATION, ELICIO and MORDOREE - all are Highly Recommended!! Enjoy your weekend!
