Wine Tasting — Halloween and Thanksgiving

Sophie in her "Good Girl ;-)" Halloween Costume
I know I'm one of the few around here, but I love the winter and am looking forward to some "nice" snow this winter. The cooler weather also means that Halloween and Thanksgiving are upon us — so, let's taste some wines just for the occasions!
Judging by the amount of "tasters" we have had recently, everyone knows that 4-7pm on a Saturday is one of the best times to head to Inari. However, since we've just received a shipment of spooktacularly delicious wines, we'll be having a special tasting on Halloween Friday this week, as well as wines for Thanksgiving on Saturday night! Two! Two! Two tastings in one weekend! No trick to it — just real treats!
Join us for a devilishly good time this Friday and leave with good spirits! While costumes are not required, they are always encouraged! Should you choose to indulge in the spirit of Halloween, rest assured, you will not be the only one in costume!
Pure Evil Chardonnay, Bitch Grenache, Evil Cabernet Sauvignon, and Seven Sinners Syrah wines are sure to start your Friday evening off with a gasp! You'll still have plenty of time to get home for the little 'weeners and dish out candy, or move on to more dark and creepy events ? we close at 7pm, ya know.
Entertainment for Saturday's tasting will be Kimberly Akers, Wine Consultant from The Country Vintner. Kimberly will present wines that will compliment your Thanksgiving turkey, ham, or any lighter fair on your Holiday table; there will be Gewurztraminer, Grenache Ros?, Pinot Noir, and an inexpensive Malbec that goes wonderfully with the cranberry sauce.
As always, for full details, check out http://www.inariwines.com and click on 'Wine Tastings.'
Aulikki and I will be at the Friday tasting, but we will miss you all on Saturday, hence the alternate connoisseur (Kimberly). Aulikki and I will be visiting the kids and grandkids this weekend in Columbus, Ohio, so please come by Saturday (and Tuesday!) to make sure our ghost editor/writer and Whiner-In-Training Tanya and noble sidekick Kathy earn their keep!
We again want to thank our customers and if your looking for a Doggie Treat like Sophie's (in the picture above) look no farther than Downtown Bristol at BB's Barkery (Located inside Fandango at 511 State Street.)
Come and enjoy the excitement while you Discover Downtown Bristol and help locally-owned shops keep your shopping dollars here in Bristol.
