Tastings Galore

The Co-op's second in-store wine tasting will take place this Friday, April 27, between 3 and 7 in the pm, in the Community Room. We will feature six new wines and some delectable cheeses from our stellar cheese department. The state of Vermont, unfortunately, has put a few speed bumps in your way. A maximum of four (4) customers may be in the room at one time. This may slow the process down a bit, but please be patient. There will be a sign-up sheet to "reserve" your place in line, if you happen to come at a particularly busy moment.

The Co-op will continue to sponsor one tasting per month, as allowed by Vermont liquor regulations. We will showcase new wines and we would appreciate your suggestions and feedback. Watch this blog for dates of upcoming tastings.

A large-scale pre-Memorial Day wine tasting will happen on Friday, May 18, 5:30-8pm, downstairs at the Flat Street Pub. The entrance fee is still a modest $15 and tickets will be available for sale in the wine department. As always, special full-case and mixed case deals will be available. You are encouraged to "share a case" with friends. Food to tantalize your tastebuds will be served, provided by the Co-op under the masterful tutelage of Carol Grumbine-Hall.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday, April 27, and Friday May 18.
