Free August Wine Tasting Series

BURLINGTON - July 21st, 2008 - Dedalus Wine Shop will kick off its latest series of in-store wine tastings in August at 95 College Street in Burlington. The summer series will begin on August 2nd. Our new Saturday format will provide our community with a casual outlet for wine exploration, appreciation, and tasting. A schedule for the series can be found below.

"There's real pleasure to be had finding good wine, exploring it, drinking it, and especially in sharing it with good friends. All these elements get wrapped up in a wine's story. That's what this new series is about - ways to explore wine in a social context, as the cornerstone of a dinner party or as a travel guide through an exotic countryside," says store owner Jason Zuliani.

Dedalus Wine Shop is here to tell wine's story. We're committed to building a wine community and to exploring great wine from around the world with our friends and customers.

8/9/2008 - Riesling - Pound for pound German Riesling delivers some of the best value per dollar in the wine world.

8/23/2008 - Spain - Spain has become a newly re-discovered wine region for outstanding, distinct reds and whites; a go-to country for the interesting and unique in wine. We'll taste both red and white wines from Spain, all perfect for entertaining and high on the crowd appeal scale.

8/30/2008 - Italy - From big, rich reds to sleek and exotic whites, Italy is one of the world's most divers (and confusing) wine producing countries. What better way to wade through the confusion than with a glass of wine! Stop by to sample reds and whites from the top of the boot to the heel.
