Wine Tasting Every Weekend
Friday, March 22, 5-7 pm
Domaine Paterianakis Assyrtiko
Domaine Paterianakis situated at 2,000 feet above sea level in the Peza appellation on the Mediterranean island of Crete. The family owned vineyards within the domaine have been cultivated since 1988, with production focused on indigenous and rare grape varieties. The domaine is organically certified by DIO, the official body for controlling organic certifications in Greece.
Bellevue Beaujolais Galoche Rosé
Domaine Saint Cyr's rosé is sourced from the family's organic vineyards throughout Beaujolais, from vines with an average age of 25 years. They're grown in clay and limestone soils, and the 100% Gamey grapes are fermented in stainless-steel tanks. It is fruit-driven yet dry, with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate on the nose and palate. The finish
is a nice minerality that cuts the fruit for a clean, dry finish.
Eric Louis Pinot Noir “Vin de France”
Throughout the year, the vines are under constant observation. Over the seasons they lavish on them the most appropriate care In the respect for the tradition of wine grower's job. In this spirit, they fight, in the most biologically way available, against diseases and parasites, and care for the wine according to lunar rhythms and plant grass in the vineyards in order to restore balance and structure to the ground. 100% Pinot Noir that is fresh and fruity nose and typical Pinot Noir with red berries. Delicious and easy drinking wine with a nice soft attack. This WILL become your house red!
Saturday, March 23, 3-5 pm
An assortment of deliciousness will be open.

Pares Balta Winery takes family owned and operated to the next level. The Cusine family’s history goes back to 1790,
when the first vines were planted around the existing winery building. Today, brothers Joan and Josep Cusine run the operation as they have since they took over from their father, Joan, in 2000. But not only do they have the dynamic of siblings working every day together, the men took their passion for wine one step further with each marrying an
oenologist (winemaker). Now sister in laws, Marta Casas and Maria Elena Jimenez are the winemakers at Pares Balta.
What has followed since the arrival of the foursome is a family passion for producing organic and biodynamic wines
coming from their stunning estate in Penedés, Spain.
Parés Baltá has a special affinity for the Catalan native variety of Garnatxa, and their Garnaxta extends from lands at sea level, all the way to 700 meters above the winery. Their affinity gives way to an amazing harmony amongst the foursome. The family prides themselves on the fact that they not only are certified organic, but they have been certified biodynamic by the Demeter Biodynamic Trade Association. Their emphasis on biodynamic principles is not about generating a marketing plan, or to increase revenues, but it’s because the family believes in living in harmony with what nature provides.
