Saturday Wine Tasting Schedule

Every Saturday afternoon, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., the Black Bear Team hosts a wine-tasting event. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, the wine choices are excellent, and the opportunity to expand your wine horizons is one you shouldn't miss. Come join us!

July 3: Happy 4th of July!

This holiday is one of our favorites, particularly because it is a true representation of summer; fireworks, barbeque, badminton, and of course the crisp, refreshing smells and tastes of summer wine! On this Saturday we will taste wines that will cover you no matter what you are planning to do on the 4th. Join us and sample wines that pair well with grill foods, socializing with friends and family, or just relaxing outside and enjoying the beautiful weather.

July 10: Wine Club Wines

Every month, many Black Bear customers enjoy the special perks of being a wine club member. We hand select 3 to 4 wines each month ranging from different regions around the world to help enhance the wine tasting palate of our members. Come in on this day to taste the wines we have selected for July and learn about all the perks you get from being a wine club member. You’ll see why we have over 70 members in our club. Which club is right for you?

July 17: Wines of Alsace

Some of the most elegant white wines produced come from the Alsace region of Northeastern France. From soft Pinot Blancs, to dry Rieslings, to rich and spicy Gewurztraminers, these wines are unlike any produced in the world. They are delicate and own wonderful acidity, suitable for Asian foods, salads, aperitifs and certain types of fish. Come by and learn about this wonderful area rich in history and delicious wine.

July 24: Vinifera Imports Italian Wine Tasting

Jeff Shultz of Vinifera Wine Imports will be here on this day to taste you on some of his fine selections. Vinifera is a small distributor specializing in offering fine Italian wines.
