We have one of our suppliers, Mark making a rare guest appearance for this weeks Friday night wine tasting.  He has some nice and interesting summer wines for you to sample between 4 and 7 PM.  1st up is La Playa Sauvignon Blanc from Chile.  This is a great party wine, and we have the whole La Playa line in the 1.5 L value size.  We go to Germany next for the Urban Riesling from the Mosel region.  This is another good value wine, and perfect if we ever see the warm summer sun.  Back in the plane as the amazing race takes us to Tuscany, Italy for La Bastarda Bianco and Il Bastardo Rosso.  These 2 for $20 wines have what looks to be Tommy Bolini with a suit 2 sizes to small on the red label, and in a tutu with his hair in a bun on the white.  If that were not enough he will finish the tasting with 1 of my favorite new wines called Llama Old Vine Malbec. …is it just me or does anybody else think Pao Gasol looks like a llama?... http://www.andres3000.com/2008/08/05/pau-gasol-is-no-llama-or-is-he/  … either way this is 1 of the best Malbecs in the store and a must try.
