Dear Subscriber
Voter turnout neared the 50% of eligible voters for the first time since 1960. The highest percentage for a midterm election since the 1930"s!! Good news for everyone. It"s always been my thought that we could live with any outcome if we could get 75% of the eligible voters to the polls. A typical outcome in Europe. Rarely reached in the US.
Everybody can find something to be happy about in the results of the midterms, so you"ll need a good selection of wine, beer and the associated foods to celebrate properly!!
(Yes, I know, there was plenty that you weren"t so happy about as well - more reason to get your mind off of it!)
Over the next 5 days, we will have plenty of options available for you! Italian tonight, Californian Friday and Saturday and
don"t forget our Class on Tuesday - we have a few seats available!

Our Thoughts.........
Red and black berry and clove aromas carry over to the palate, which is steeped in espresso and earth flavor. While it"s already accessible, fine-grained tannins give it a firm structure. Drink through 2020.

A bit about Tenuta Il Poggione …
Tenuta Il Poggione was founded at the end of 1800 when Lavinio Franceschi, land owner from Florence, decided to visit the area after hearing the stories from a shepherd, who brought his herds around Montalcino during the winter. He fell in love with the landscape and the people who lived in that area, and decided to buy land and establish a grape farm. More than a century later, Tenuta Il Poggione covers an area of 530 hectares (1300 acres), of which 140 hectares (336 acres) are planted with vines and 50 hectares (120 acres) with olive trees; the rest are dedicated to grain fields, forest and livestock.
The estate’s guiding principle is to pay great care to the vines, because the secret of producing great red wines lies in the high-quality vineyard work. The vineyards are at an altitude between 490 – 1475 feet above sea level: this large gap, together with the age of the vineyards, promotes easy harvest to obtain well-structured wines with long aging potential, regardless of the weather conditions. One of the most highly regarded wineries in all of Tuscany, Tenuta Il Poggione makes incredibly powerful wines for collectors and everyday drinkers alike.
Just to remind you of the ongoing opportunities we have:
Thursday Evening Open Bottle 4:00 - 8:00 pm - 1 wine rated highly and discounted generously;
Friday Evening Tasting 5:00 - 8:00 pm - 3 Beers, 5 wines discounted 10% from the first bottle;
Saturday Afternoon 1:00 - 5:00 pm - a different group of beers and wines and sometimes soup or chocolate or something else of interest!
