Saturday, May 2nd: Tortoise Creek

posted on 25 April 2009 by jeff

I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this than you almost certainly have no plans for the date in question. Your, “girlfriend’s” parents are not coming to town, and your plan to “clean out” the garage is clearly a foolish and misdirected use of your time and energy. We here at downTown would like to offer you an alternative. Saturday May 2nd we’re having a wine tasting with the proprietor and creative mastermind behind Tortoise Creek wines: Mel Master.

Tortoise Creek’s wines epitomize the value-oriented wine making of their home: the Languedoc, Southern France’s laid-back answer to Bordelais stodginess. Mr. Master will be pouring not only his southern french offerings, but a few wines from Californian stock as well.

At around $12 a bottle, these wines are already killer values, but during the tasting a case purchase of Tortoise Creek wines comes with a 20% discount.

Saturday, April 25th: Fire and Wine

While drinking a bottle of wine, have you ever felt like there was something missing? Neither have I. The folks down at the Diablo Glass School, however, have gone out of their way to improve on alcohol’s favourite son, (that’s right, wine is best: screw you Champale). For the low, low price of $35, attendees will get to quaff french wine to their heart’s content while watching some of Boston’s finest glass artisans practice their trade.

Josh Eaton, International Man of Leisure, and also President of Terroir Wines LLC will be at the event pouring wines from his Languedoc selection. And though you won’t be able to take the wines home with you, you can place an order for whichever wines please you and the downTown delivery van will bring them to your very door.

There are a limited number of tickets, so make sure you order yours quickly.
