Can you believe that we are heading towards the holiday season? We're pulling out our sweaters and coats, eyeing red wines, and stocking up on Rancho Gordo beans and conservas (swing by the store for our fresh drop of new food items).
This Tuesday tasting, October 22, is with another winemaker, Filippo Antonelli, from Umbria, Italy. Two classic whites, a grechetto and a trebbiano, and two classic reds, a sangiovese and a sagrantino. This is a great opportunity to explore and travel to Umbria without having to leave your barstool at the Caviste.
The following Tuesday, October 29, we will open a lineup of Kermit Lynch wines, classic French whites and reds, just in time for the November family/friend times.
Stay tuned for more events as we keep filling up the calendar.

Colder nights pair well with this book - Nick Cave's Faith, Hope and Carnage. I am truly a fan of his reflections and meditations on art, grief, life, and human nature. This one will take some time to digest.
