An Interesting Wine Event

A couple days ago I got a note from John Bojanowski at Clos du Gravillas. This native Louisvillian has been living in southern France for the last 11 years growing grapes and making organic wines alongside his French wife Nicole. This week John will return to Louisville, along with some wines that will be making their Louisville debut. It sounds like some good stuff is coming out of Clos du Gravillas and this might be worth checking out!

Neil informs me that the Wine Market holds wine and cheese tastings the second Wednesday of every month. This month, on Jan 9, the theme is "Fireplace Wines." 4:30-6:30 pm.

Wine Tasting at Gemelli

Gemelli Wine and Spirits holds monthly wine tastings, each focusing on a specific kind of wine. I've been to a couple of these and had a great time. The folks at Gemelli are both knowledgeable and entirely unsnobby; I've heard them answer some truly basic wine questions without the least bit of attitude. For this I love them. These really are tastings for people who want to learn more about wine, not for people who want to stand around feeling self-congratulatory about how much they already know.

The next tasting, which focuses on Zinfandel, is Thursday, Jan 24, 6:30-7:30. The class is limited to 16 people and costs $15 per person. Reserve your spot by calling 895-1400.
