Late August wine tastings

We actually are supporting two wine tastings next Tuesday, August 24th. The first is at Mass Ave Wine Shoppe from 5:30-7:00 in downtown Indy and the 2nd is at The Cellar at G. Simone's at 112 Main Street in Zionsville (sister restaurant to Plum's Upper Room) from 6:30-8:30. Both are free to the public and we will taste 4-6 wines at both.

The logistics overlap but the G. Simone's event will be started by Cork and Cracker's Heather and Rebecca who's stor,e unfortunately, burned down in Fishers about 2 months ago due to a lightening strike. They are hoping to re-build and re-open before the holidays and this is one way they want to continue to engage their customers and promote some of the great wines they offer.

Chef JJ's August 19, 2010 Grill and Swill

Graybull Wines will one again be providing wine with some excellent food pairings this Thursday, August 19th at Chef JJ's Backyard Grill in Broadripple. Their quarterly Grill and Swill is sold out once again. We plan to taste some great unique wines that pair well with their all grilled menu that evening. Among the wines is Domaine Granajolo, a Corsican white made from Vermentino, Biokult Gruner Veltliner, Cooper Mountain Pinot Gris, and Moulin de Vissandre (Grenache-Carignan red blend). To wrap up the evening the participants will be able to choose which Cabernet Sauvignon will be poured at Chef JJ's for the rest of the fall and winter. They will be tasting and choosing between Agustino's (Chile) and Santa Julia (Argentina).
