Tatjana and Jason Brown of Meza, 48 N. State, share the current Meza Minute....
Dear Friends of Meza,
We have a feeling it won't be much longer until spring is here! It has been a long winter and we are excited for all the events coming up in the spring months as well as all the new wines and changes at Meza!
We have been having a great time at our weekly wine tasting events - even the snow hasn't slowed people down! We hope you continue to come see us each Friday, chat for a bit, taste some great wines, find new favorites. Tastings are a great way for us to find out what our customers like. When we chose wines for our shelves, we taste them and make sure they fit in our assortment. Many times though, we look to what the big favorites are at the tasting events to determine what will stay on our shelves! So be sure to give us feedback, and let us know what wines you love!
Our calendar this month is filling up very quickly with private tasting events! If you are looking for a venue for a networking opportunity, birthday party, or casual gathering of friends, simply e mail or call us and set up a private wine tasting! Leave the planning to us. Just show up and enjoy!
In other news, we are very thankful to our friends at Capital Style for featuring Meza in the new March issue in their "Uncorked" Section! Even Laila got a mention for her hard work at the shop! Hope you all pick up a copy - it will be featured online next week.
Looking forward to seeing you all in March!
Tatjana and Jason Brown
What is New on our Shelves?!
2007 The Squid's Fist (Shiraz/Sangiovese) ($24)
Those of you attending the Australian tasting this week will be excited to taste this wine! All we can say is WOW. Powerful, lush, and enticing. This is a wine you will try and never forget.
2009 Corvidea "Mirth" Chardonnay ($13)
We loved this Chardonnay because of the quality for this price. From the renowned Owen Roe winery, this Chardonnay is crisp and refreshing. Loads of green apple flavor with only a slight creamy texture. No big oak explosion here.
2009 Barnard Griffin Riesling ($10)
The 2008 vintage of this domestic Riesling made the Wine Spectator Top 100 list for 2009! This winery is known for their consistent quality in wines from year to year. Fruity but dry, this Riesling is a great food wine that would compliment Thai food or sushi or is also a great wine to enjoy on its own.
