Saturday Tasting ~ Hartford Family Wines
Hartford Family Wines Open For Wine Club Members
Save the dates!!! This Saturday January 14th and next Saturday January 21st Carpe Vino will be featuring the wonderful wines from Hartford Family Winery. Since their inaugural release in 1996, the Hartford Family of wines has produced some of the best chardonnay’s, pinot noir’s, and zinfandel’s to ever come from the Russian River AVA. We’ve not only selected a stellar line-up to taste and stock up on but also, this Saturday only, you will have the opportunity purchase a special surprise wine that will only be revealed the day of the tasting. The wine is completely SOLD OUT at the winery but we’ve worked our magic and we acquired TWO cases. However, you must be present at the tasting to purchase it and it will be only available on a “first come, first served” basis. The Hartford Family Wine tasting starts at 1 P.M. and ends at 4 P.M. So, come on down, grab Chef Alexander’s exquisite charcuterie plate and taste some excellent vino! (please remember two-person maximum per wine club membership, no guests.)
