Quick Sips: Mad March Hare Irish Poitin!

Hare of the dog? Almost--this Mad March Hare Irish Poitín missed St. Paddy's day but will do just fine this April! Smooth with a touch of sweetness & minerality, the Hare is distilled in traditional copper pot stills from locally sourced malted barley in Ireland. This is #OG moonshine and downright delicious.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We had some specials on Irish whiskey this month (March 2016)-- to check our current list of prices, please follow this link.

Wednesday Wine Workshop March 16th: California Rhone Rangers!

Up for some adventure, some excitement?!?
Wednesday Wine Workshop, Wed. March 16th
California's Rhone Rangers with Dan Williams!

  
What's the difference in flavor and body between Syrah and Petite Sirah? Why is Viognier
the Chardonnay drinker's alternative? Why is Grenache an alternative to Pinot Noir?
Our California Wine Buyer (the guy on the bike!) is going to talk about Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Grenache, Syrah, Petite Sirah and more during this class! He'll focus on wines from Paso Robles and Santa Barbara for this tasting, and since these are some of his favorite varietals, you can bet that he'll pour some fantastic wines! 7-8:30pm, $20.

Winemakers Visit Hi-Time Wine Cellars

Gary Faust reports: Winemakers David Duband from Burgundy and Jean-Louis Dutraive of Domaine de La Grand'Cour from Beaujolais, visited Hi-Time from France (...and lucky for us, they brought some of their wines with them! -ed.).
