Vermouth Tasting with Ben Reece
Beth Kuchynka • September 19, 2019
Friday, October 4th, 5:30 pm
$30 / $25 - club members, $10 towards purchase of event wines.Forget what you think you know about vermouth...here in America, we have only very recently gotten access to the real thing. Martini & Rossi is not a true representation of this ancient & beautiful beverage. Evidence of vermouth goes back 5+ millennia in places as far away as China. The word vermouth comes from the Germanic word for Wormwood, Vermut
. It is a finished wine that is then spiked with whatever local white lightning available, and infused with a recipe of botanicals, number one on the list being Wormwood. It has a long history of medicinal use for anti-inflammitory, digestif and of course the wonderful soothing properties of alcohol that has helped ancients get through their daily lives of toil and hardship.
These are amazingly complex, nuanced treats that can be enjoyed by themselves or in any number of cocktails that a knowledgeable mixologist can concoct.

Olive oil has been part of Mediterranean life for thousands of years. It's more than a cooking fat—it's culture, health, and history in a bottle. As Americans we've been a bit slow to catch on...
We’ve just received word that prices will increase on May 1, so we’re putting together one last order at the current pricing. This is your chance to scoop up any legacy favorites you’ve been eyeing—or discover something new in their gorgeous 2025 catalog (you can browse it here ).
Join us for a special seated tasting on Thursday, May 15 from 5–7 PM with Clarke Boehling of Rosenthal Wine Merchant While visiting trade accounts in the area, Clarke has carved out time to lead this intimate tasting—and we’re thrilled to host him. This is a rare chance to explore the Rosenthal portfolio through the eyes (and palate) of someone who knows it inside and out. Tickets here .

Spring Cleaning?
Really there is so much to know.
Fall Wine Extravaganza Join us for an afternoon of delicious wines! Unlike our tastings of the past, this will be more like what we call a "trade" tasting. Each rep will be stationed at a table with 4 of their wines - a mix of chilled whites/roses and reds. You are welcome to mingle, pose questions to the reps, bounce back and forth and taste at your own pace. We'll provide solo cups to encourage you to pace yourself and spit. We'll have staff passing bites of food to pair. We'll be joined by Eric, Jesse and Ken in the Coupeville Rec Hall. This will give us all plenty of room to spread out. There will be discounts offered, lots of conversations had and as much education as you would like. This is a standing, social tasting. Wine club members enjoy discounted ticket pricing as well as deeper discounts on orders at the event. Join one of our wine clubs before the event to take advantage of these extra discounts. You don't want to miss this one! A great opportunity to taste before you buy, restock your wine rack and choose a few special bottles for the upcoming holiday season. Saturday 29 October 3 - 5 Coupeville Rec Hall tickets are required Non-wine Club member Wine Club member
