Start the weekend out right at Enoteca - Fine Wine & Beer!
This Friday from 4-7 Enoteca will be hosting Lee Anderson of Chloe Imports as he shares a delicious selection of wine from France, focusing on the incredible 2005 vintage and focusing on Burgundy. We want to give you the opportunity to “try before you buy” so we offer a flight of wine for a low cost. Taste a flight (2 oz. each of 5 wines) for $10 per flight, and follow up with a glass. We will be tasting Saturday from 12-7 as well, which is a great time to beat the rush.

Remember the Orphans
The orphan shelf has had some recent admittants. Several bottles of wine were discovered that have been waiting for a home,
and some beer has even migrated to the orphan shelf.
Club members receive a 20% discount whenever they adopt an orphan. Find it in your heart.
A wide range of very delicious bottles are currently up for adoption. Come peer into the glassed-over eyeballs of these little fellas and see if one of them doesn’t tug at your heart. Pleeeze sir, can I have some more?
