The Wine Steward in Pleasanton Our Next Event is always one of the year's most popular... The French Wine Imports of Charles Neal, as shown by Tom Switzer and Jim For the 1st 24 to RSVP (Please be vaccinated and remain masked when not seated) Tuesday, September 21 at 6pm $44 per person Sign Up for Tom & Jim's French Extravaganza! Tom and Jim joined Charles Neal on a trip to France some 12 or 13 years ago. Ever since, we've remembered that experience on our mezzanine with rsvp-only tastings. Sometimes (in December) Charles himself visits to focus on Champagne. More recently, Tom (his representative and our good pal) and I have put on a late summer "sans Charles" event where we try to behave in front of 24 or so of you. That's what happens again on September 21. A Bay Area Importer we deem as worthy as better-known Kermit Lynch will join us in spirit while Tom and I pour and discuss wines from the Loire Valley, Rhone, Bordeaux, Champagne . . . This will be GOOD! Click here for more info |
