domaine547 Events: Cantine A Casa Tasting At Campanile

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Sorry for the short notice on this one…but come join us this Friday evening (May 1, 2009) for a casual tasting of the wines of Cantine A Casa, at Campanile. The winemaker will be there, and for a mere $19 (tax and service included) you will receive three small bites that have been specially prepared to match the Sannio Falanghina, the Greco di Tufo and the Fiano Di Avelino wines that will be poured.

If you plan on coming, shoot me an email at info@domaine547.com and I’ll be able to let Campanile know so they can prepare enough goodies for us!

domaine547 Events Update

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Just a reminder, the Hospice du Rhone Twitter Taste Live event is tonight. You can taste along with me, Dr. Debs of Good Wine Under $20, Thea of Vinquire/Luscious Lushes, Jason Haas of Tablas Creek, Joe White of Table for Joe and many more bloggers by going and signing up at the new site, Taste Live.

Also, I’m happy to report that the Anne Willan event is oversold. If you want to be on the wait list, let me know. Otherwise, maybe I’ll be able to convince Anne to do another class in the future.

Finally, I have a third event for May 1st in the works, a tasting with Italian producer Cantine A Casa. Details to follow later today or early next week, this will be a very budget-oriented evening in the $15 to $20 range, with the winemaker present. Check back soon for more info.

Reminder: Tablas Creek dinner at Campanile is June 3rd! As in, tomorrow!

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

We’d love to see you there, and from what we hear just a few spots remain. Call Campanile at (323) 938-1447 to book. More details on the dinner can be found here.

wine jargon

Frizzante
From Wikipedia: Frizzante is an Italian wine term term for semi-sparkling wine (as opposed to Spumante, which is generally used for fully sparkling wines). Frizzante wines generally owe their bubbles to a partial secondary fermentation in tank. You might notice a light fizz or tingly sensation on the tongue with a Frizzante wine, compared to the more carbonated sensation that more fully sparkling wines yield.


Scorekage
Okay, so we made up this word yesterday after a great restaurant experience. We brought a bottle of wine with us, expecting to pay a corkage fee. But the restaurant either forgot to charge us the $15, or decided to be nice to us. We scored! Hence, “scorekage” has entered our lexicon. This can also refer to BYO friendly restaurants that don’t charge for corkage under any circumstances.
