The longest-running continuous wine tasting series in Iowa rolls on this Monday December 7th with Portuguese wines.
And it’s not just Porto! Here’s what you’ll be tasting when you make your reservation at 319.354.1001 and come to Devotay at 6:30 that night:
Quinta Aveleda Vinho Verde
J Portugal Ramos Loios Red – (Alentigo Region)
Dows Vale do Bonfim Douro Reserva
Sandeman Founders Rsv Ruby Port
Delaforce His Eminence Tawny Port 10
Caveats & Fine Print:
For those who are unfamiliar with how we do things at these tastings, it’s really quite simple, and a whole lot of fun.
One Monday a month we set aside a portion of the restaurant for those who want to revel in the glory of the grape with others of their own ilk. It’s just $20 this year, and for that paltry sum you get tastes (roughly 2-3 ounce pours) of 4 different wines in some sort of cohesive theme (this year it’s varietals), as well as a tapa or two to match and some sparkling conversation with winemakers, wine sellers, fellow wine lovers and of course Kim and Yours Truly.
All are welcome, from the novice to the bonafide sommelier. All you need is an interest in wine and the ability to bend your elbow. Actually, not even that – we have straws if you need’em.
Slow Food members get $2.00 off, and everyone who sticks around for a full dinner afterward can enjoy 25% off any bottle on our list.
