September Wine Feature
Evaluna Cabernet del Garda DOC 2014

Evaluna (Eve + Moon) is the result of winemaker Nadia Zenato's, and her mother Carla Prospero's, abundant love and knowledge of the area around Lake Garda in Italy's Veneto region. Red wines produced from the grapes around Lake Garda have been world renown as early as the Renaissance, when Pope Leo X sang praises to them.

Advancing and retreating glaciers left deposits rich in morainic and silty/morainic soils which, in the presence of Lake Garda's thermo-regulating influence and temperate microclimate, create softer wines showing less tannin. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and fermented in stainless steel tanks - Evaluna is a moderate tannin wine with flavors of fresh red fruits emerging together with peppery characteristics.

We will be featuring this wine at $9 a glass and $35 a bottle.

Wednesday - Every Wednesday* is "Wine Appreciation Wednesday" where every full bottle of wine less than $75 is offered at half price. 

Thursday - Every Thursday* every glass of wine will be offered at half price.
