Holiday Sips: From Bubbly to Bold

This year we will be featuring Bernie Martini, the “Legendary Piano Man,” with live Jazz Crooner and cocktail music. He is the ideal pianist and vocalist to get us ready for the holiday season. We will also be extending B & BRs to encompass the entire Clubhouse, including the Twin Sisters Lounge. This will allow for more seating as well as many more tables and vendors. Chef Isaac, Chef Greg, Chef Erica and all of the fabulous culinarians will dazzle you with heavy hor d’ oeuvres and desserts.

Now, for the wine, it is pretty simple — you will enjoy Big Reds and Bubbles from around the world. Some you may recognize and many you won’t. To paint the picture: you will arrive through the Clubhouse main entrance where you will pick up a glass and your buying guide. It will have your speakers’ names, table numbers and all of the wines being sampled. Throughout the evening, you will stroll through the Clubhouse, going from table to table and taking notes, while enjoying delectables in between.

On the back pages of your guide, there will be an order form to fill out and turn in that night, if possible. We would like to ensure that everybody receives their wine before the holidays as we know many will be purchased for gifts. If you are unable to attend and would like a chance to order wines, please let us know and we can send you an order form. 

We are thrilled to have Del Dotto Vineyards here. They have been a favorite and bucket list destination in the Napa Valley. Up until now, Del Dotto has only been offered DTC or Direct to Consumer. We are overjoyed that they have finally opened up distribution, and you will have the opportunity to purchase without a plane trip out to the wine country. 

I will leave you with a few other teasers:

Happy Holidays!

I am so excited to tell you about this year’s Wine Extravaganza — the Bubbles and Big Reds Holiday Show. It will be the largest and best ever! Taking place on November 25, this beloved tradition falls on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving so you can enjoy your wines and bubbles with your families that have arrived for Turkey Day. This is the event that everyone looks forward to — the “try before you buy holiday event” that helps you stock your cellars, buy holiday gifts and mingle with a Clubhouse of wine lovers.
