It's the end of June which means it's time to swap your hooded sweatshirt for a sleeve monster (sleeveless tee, preferably made by "No Fear"), your boots for a nice pair of flippy floppy's and your jeans for an American flag Speedo...You guessed it; It's summer time!!!
Summer time is strange because although it's the season where everyone wants to do as they please and go on a spontaneous road trip with the "broskis" or lay around and do nothing (like the days of our youth). The truth is we can't. Notice next time you get drunk and try to make plans with someone. You will find that you'll end up going through each weekend finding they are full then saying "We'll figure it out", high fiving said person, and walk away saying "Well that's not happening".
In Seattle, we have to face the fact that July, August and half of September are really the only months we have nice weather and can, quite frankly, actually do shit.
Take a look at your calendar or day planner and you'll find that the majority of the weekends are booked with parties, weddings, vacations, bbq's, visitors, or fake plans to get out of other lame things (It's the truth, we are adults now). This leaves you very little free time to prepare for events and sometimes forcing you to show up to these things, not empty handed (blasphemy), but contributing crap like a bag of Ruffles or a 6 pack of Zima that you clearly got at the 7-11 down the block. I don't want you to be that person this year. Don't throw a 6 pack of Busch Light into the cooler and start making yourself a mojio with the stuff someone else brought. You don't have to break the bank to be proud of what you contribute to an event.
That's why I'm having my Summer Deals Tasting tomorrow,Thursday 6/28 at 6pm. I want to provide people with some easy, low priced, quality wine that people can bust out and turn some heads this summer. I know it's not one of the manliest things I've ever said, but nothing goes better with a nice summer day than a glass of rose or white wine. At the tasting will be the opportunity to taste, enjoy, and grab some bottles of Cote de Provence Rose, a super refreshing Vinho Verde from Portugal and a wonderful, ready to drink Sangiovese from Tuscany. They are can't miss choices!
The main goal of loving wine is to find great wine for an even better price (corny, but true), I did that for you and all you need to do is come in and grab some tomorrow night! Look at it as a summer kick off and a place to get your 4th of July beverages. Lets meet at Two Tartes and not at the Parnell's Corner Store beer section. Hope to see you there!
Because if I don't make moves in the wine industry some old guy in a smoking jacket will.
Nice one Joe!! One day I will be there to rage the tasting..

Has to be Speedos. Can't swim anywhere in France with 'Boardies' (the Aussies will know what I'm talking about...). It's some obscure rule by the swimwear police that states that you can't carry a concealed weapon into a swimming facility. So budgie-smugglers it is! If only choosing wine was so easy... Luckily we've got you for that, Joe!
