| Dear Friend,
Does $50 cab really taste like $50 cab when you don’t know the price or origin? Let’s find out…..this week’s tasting will be a blind tasting of 7 or 8 cabs from Napa Valley…..some old established labels, some newbies……ranging from $15 to $75!! I was treated to an interesting tasting by a friend last week….and was totally fooled on the results! The proof’s always in the glass. This tasting will be next Thursday and Friday at 6:30 pm, and again Saturday at 5:30pm…..only $25!!! Please call for reservations to 252-491-5311.
