A taste of France and Spain to start your weekend off right!

Good afternoon,

we hope you will be able to join us tonight at our Ambassador location from 5pm to 7pm for our weekly Free Wine Tasting.

A very interesting line-up tonight with four wines, split evenly between France and Spain.

From France, two Bordeaux from the outstanding 2009 vintage. The Chateau du Pin which will offer a very nice everyday drinking experience and one from the Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation called Chateau Roland La Garde - a more serious wine which gives a good preview for that vintage.

From Spain, a new everyday wine here at Philippe's made from 60yr old Garnacha grapes grown in the Calatayud called Retorno. We will also sample a new vintage from an old favorite over here at Philippe's. We have just received the 2006 vintage from Altos de Luzon. Still coming from Jumilla and still made from 50% Monastrell, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Tempranillo, the wine is still as complex than before and offering the same outstanding drinking experience, yet with more elegance and refinement on the new bottling.

We are looking forward to seeing you tonight. Please tell your friends and make it a Wine Tasting Night!
