Palate Pleasers….from Wine Region News!

Wow! What a great review we got from the editor at Wine Region News!

Here is how it starts….”Light rain falling outside 15 Degrees C Wine Shop and Bar in Templeton on Friday made the interior feel cozy, especially with the soft lights reflecting off the wine glasses that were lined on the long table.  From the first glass of Champagne to the last spoonful of Crème Brulee, owners Allison Dominguez and Ali Rush Carscaden again display good taste, warm hospitality and a fine business sense….”

Thanks and looking forward to have you again soon!

the zork!

the zork is the new, all-the-rave patent wine cork that combines the flexibility and ease of twist off caps with the traditional cork top.

the zork wine cap helps reduce oxidization caused by the traditional cork seal and since cork trees have become endangered the zork is a great alternative for the eco-minded wino… not to mention the zork is re-usable so there is no need to buy those other wine stoppers–just use the one that came with your bottle!
