Dino & Ardeo - Call Dean and Kay Gold @ Dino and Timothy @ Ardeo For Reservations ..

That's how the headline should finish!

This will be an exciting time in our Cleveland Park neighborhood with two dinners this coming Tuesday night at 7-7:30PM at both Dino and at Ardeo ; as well as a wine-tasting beforehand at our store Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits ( 3423 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington D.C. 20008 Tel : 202-363-4265 sales@clevelandparkwine.com www.clevelandparkwine.com also on Facebook at : cleveland park wine & spirits and on Twitter at : cpwinespirits ).

The dinner and the wine-tasting at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits will be with owner/wine-maker Jean Marc Espinasse of the ROUGE BLEU southern French wines of " Dentelles " and " Mistral " including one dry " Dentelles " rose, too. This will be our second dinner and wine-tasting with Jean-Marc. We did one last year and it was a big-grand success for both.

Jean-Marc's American wife writes the ever-successful blog called : " AFrenchWordADay " and many people follow it and will come to our dinner and wine-tasting. I have already blogged about this here at chatwine.blogspot.com and you can use the search engine above to view it as well as the ones I have done at Ardeo, too with wine-maker Matias of Cousino-Macul. I am using those pictures here to fill-in this blog entry.

The previous blog I left hanging with a big mystery and question mark? The answer to both is Jean-Marc's American wife who got with her blog a whole new set of customers for both Dino and for our store Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits! Thanks! We both appreciate it. They all simply showed up and it was great to have a lot of our work already done for the both of us. It's rare but so appreciated when it actually happens.

Oded, the wine-maker of Longboard Vineyards in California has also come to our store twice and tasted with our customers. His sales manager Tom also came and tasted and it has been fun to sell his wines now for the last two-three years. It will be fun to see Oded again. You can use the search engine above to find the blog I did on him here on chatwine to see his pictures, etcetera.

I have asked Jody Jackman to set it up for Oded to come to the store as well before his dinner to taste his wines with our customers along with Jean-Marc Espinasse and Charles our rep from William's Corner Selections that sells them to us. It may be mad - it will be intense - it will be glorious!

Call us at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits - 202-363-4265 for last-minute details. Come by the store from 5-7PM to enjoy these ROUGE BLEU French wines as well as the LONGBOARD California wines , too ( Oded makes really good Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot as well as others ) .... Jean-Marc makes his two Rhone-style-Provence-Style - a mixture really of both in the " Dentelles " dry red and rose and the " Mistral " dry red ... wow, what an evening this will be.

Cheers and join us ... TONY
