GRAZIE Alessio, 24 years of hard work at PIETRA SANTA, the old ALMADEN property sure has paid off well! Cheers to you all ...
I liked the Sangiovese and the Pinot Noir we tasted as well as your version of a ' Super Tuscan ' as well. Come again any time ...
As you can see from these photos we had a great time tasting the PIETRA SANTA California Central Coast wines that showed so well, and sold so well, too.
I am glad that we were able to share these last night with our customres. Before it was all over I drew two quick portrait sketches as a ' thank you ' Alessio for such a fun visit, tasting and moment spent together with many of our customers that braved the elements and the snow as it continued to fall throughout the day and evening ... we still have some of them all, signed, too ...
having these excellent reds of Cabernet Sauvignon, $17.99 ; Merlot, $16.99 : and Pinot Gris, $14.99 to cheer and warm them. Thanks, grazie ... TONY
WOW, IT'S SNOWING fine white beads outside and my inclination earlier at home
was to curl up on our couch and write about some sparkling wine I had recently
enjoyed watching the fine beads rise up ...
IT OCCURRED TO ME that it would be quite the photographic feat to take a glass
of fine sparkling wine outside and watch the fine snow and the fine white
bubbles touch and kiss : that's my artistic bent, and I did not have the time to
do this, but someday ... what about you?!?
SO : WE ALL KNOW IT, none of us are ready for this snow! It's too much,
beautiful , but way, way too much! What can we do? Nothing, simply enjoy it, be
inspired by it, and perhaps make a snowman or two, throw a snowball or two, take
some fresh snow and make a flavored snow cone ? That could be nice, alcoholic or
not, depending? Have fun, that's the main thing, engage your inner child again
as you can, as nature helps you to do so as we continue to grow we do not have
to grow tired and old in growing, do we?! I wrote the part below a little while
ago and posted it on our Facebook page at : Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits. Have
you all pushed the LIKE button on our Facebook page? That would be nice. Please
do so and keep up daily with our activities and announcements that are numerous,
colorful, engaging, about us and the neighborhood , and any opportunities that I

- it's nooks and crannies that your tongue slipped into before by accident,
before the wine was quite ready to receive all your advances. Be patient, you
