Hello Wine Lovers,

In December, Ryan Fry will host two tastings on opposite ends of the spectrum, High Roller 92+ and up Tasting (Thursday, December 3) and Close-out City: End of Year Specials (Tuesday, December 22) The High Roller Tasting features wines from around the world that were rated 92+ and up in various wine periodicals,  predominately Robert Parker's, The Wine Advocate. 

Ryan has allocated Top Ten Wines a large amount of very limited wines at extremely attractive prices.  Fewer than 5 cases of most of these wines were brought into the state, and I am the only wine shop between St. Louis and Kansas City to receive any. (Thanks Ryan)  This is a can't miss tasting for collectors and wine nerds.  We are accepting only 30 guests for this tasting. We are charging $15 per person and 2 bottle purchase per person.   Call 442-2207 if you would like to make reservations or if you have questions. The list of what will be tasted is found below.  I will fill you in on the Close-Out City Tasting at a later date.  


Chuck Johnson will lead the Champagne and Big Red #2  Tastings on Wednesday December 9 at 7PM. Chuck knows more about Sparkling wine and Champagne than most wine professionals I have met.  There will be a lot of valuable information delivered in a casual, Mexico Missouri, kind of way. He promises to bring some hum-dingers.  We will serve Fresh Oysters, Pickled Herring  and good Potato Chips.  Cost: $10 and 2 bottle purchase per person. 

More on the Growers Champagne and Coastal Chilean Wine Tasting later....

I will update the Champagne Happy Hours in my next news letter....

Thank you for supporting locally owned and operated business. It has been an honor serving wine lovers in downtown Columbia for more than 20 years. 

Have a great holiday season!

Best,  Paul Vernon and Staff
