Franklin Liquors: Class and Wine Club Events in September

Tri-County Adult Education Class - Noble Grape VarietiesSeptember 11th 7 PM

A great introduction to the basics of wine grapes and the six varieties that produce most of the wines that consumers are familiar with.
This is a sit down tasting/education event held in the Franklin Liquors wine room.
We’ll discuss what makes these grapes so special, where you’ll see them grown, and which famous wines you’ll find them in. And of course we’ll taste all six!

Franklin Wine Club EventSeptember13th 7pm

Exploring Wines Of Joseph Carr And Josh
Host Adam Cataldo
Please join us for an immersive tasting experience as we weave through the story of Joseph Carr.
We will talk about how Joe discovered his passion for wine; what led him to starting his namesake label from the Napa Valley; and how the wine he made to honor his father, Josh, became one of America’s most beloved Cabernets.
You’ll have the opportunity to taste and discover how the Josh Cellars varietals compare with their Joseph Carr counterparts

Adams Bio
Adam Cataldo is a recovering history major, IT guy, and bartender who has spent the last 8 years in the wine and spirits industry. He can often be found spreading the good word of Josh Cellars throughout South Eastern Massachusetts as its District Manager for Deutsch Family Wine and Spirits, at least when he’s not complaining about the Boston Bruins.

Pour Richard's Wine: The Whole Pour - Pennywise Aug 26


'Whiskey is carried into committee rooms in demijohns and 
carried out in demagogues.'
-Mark Twain
Never Drink Ordinary!
July 29, 2018
No Richard

Pennywise Aug 26

Countless people have asked if my last name was 'Richard'. Variations: 'Who's Richard?' 'Where's Richard?' and 'Is your husband Richard?' Ladies and gentlemen, there is no Richard. We named the store for Ben Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack, then doubled down on the clever with 'Pour' instead of 'Poor'.

Why would we do this? Because the town of Franklin, originally planned as Exeter, is named in honor of Benjamin Franklin, the great statesman/scientist/publisher/inventor/entrepreneur. Franklin famously contributed 116 books from his personal collection to the Franklin Library. He declined to donate the requested funds for a bell tower, but the townspeople-either content with the books, impressed with the old statesman's career, or both-settled on 'Franklin' instead.

Did you know Franklin has a wine club?

The next Wine Club event is July 31st at 7 PM. Join the Meetup group of wine explorers. All events are sit down educational tastings.

Exploring Michele Chiarlo Wines
Host: Adam Verona

Since 1956 Michele Chiarlo is synonym with the wines of Piemonte. At a very young age Michele started to travel to showcase with unlimited passion what Piemonte could produce. With Michele's guidance now his sons Stefano and Alberto have taken over different roles and are carrying on their father's passion. The story of Michele Chiarlo as a wine producer starts with Barbera and specifically from Asti but quickly moves to cover all the top areas of Piemonte, Gavi, Barolo, Barbaresco and more.

The philosophy at the winery is to produce classic wines of terroir with the most up to date know how and still vivid passion.

Adams Bio

As Michele Chiarlo’s North American Brand Ambassador, Adam makes regular trips to Piedmont, Italy and works closely with Michele’s sons Alberto (sales and marketing) and Stefano (winemaking and technical aspects).

Adam has had a passion for wine and food for as long as he can remember. He began his wine studies in his early twenties that included an internship on a Tuscan vineyard, gaining hands on experience in every phase of wine production.

After years of representing Chiarlo wines in wholesale, he was introduced to the Michele Chiarlo family. In 2016 he took the position with the winery and now travels the United States and Canada, proudly promoting the Chiarlo family wines. Adam lives in Charleston, South Carolina with his wife and son.

Exploring 19 Crimes Wine - Jan 18


Exploring 19 Crimes Wine

Guest Host: Timothy Chagnon C.S.



19 Crimes, one of the fastest growing brands within the Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) portfolio, has been named 'Wine Brand of the Year' by leading US wine industry title Market Watch, demonstrating the outstanding success of this innovation since it was introduced to the US market in 2012.

Growing to one million cases in annual volume over the last 12 months, 19 Crimes is a unique wine proposition that celebrates the rebellious spirit of men and women exiled from 18th and 19th century Britain to Australia, having committed one of the 19 Crimes meriting punishment via transportation.

We will taste all 7 wines made!

Also A Leader In New Augmented Reality Technology
Available now via the Apple App and Google Play stores, this first-of-its-kind app will animate 19 Crimes' criminals-turned-colonists. Hovering a mobile device over the bottles will bring the character on the label to life, sharing their stories of rule breaking that sent them across the ocean to Australia.
Load the app on your phone to check it out at the tasting.

About Timothy:

Timothy Chagnon has been with Treasury Wine Estates since July of 2017. Prior to joining Treasury he had worked extensively in the hospitably industry. Over the past 10+ years, his experiences have encompassed all aspects of the restaurant world including casual fare and fine dining establishments under the direction of such renown chefs as Jasper White and Ming Tsai .

Bubbles & Bark - Dec 2 -  2 to 5 PM - A Fundraiser for Forever Home Rescue

Bubbles and Bark! 
Saturday, December 2 2-5 PM 
Tickets $10 at Door

It's true. Pour Richard's is going to the dogs- the dogs of Forever Home Rescue, that is.... It's time for our absolutely Favorite Fun Event-of-the Year, the ever-fabulous Bubbles & Bark, which brings together all of our favorite things in one rollicking, three ring circus fun fest. Do you like wine? Spirits? Delicious hot dogs? Real live furry dogs? All of the above? Then you should be here Saturday....

All our favorite people will be here. Scotch Master Charlie Tower, aka Old Man Whisk(e)y, aka the guy in the kilt will be pouring Lost Distillery Scotch. The one and only Sheri Carl is bringing Black Bubbles Sparkling Shiraz. On the sweeter side, Rich Ricci has Moscato and Brachetto. Coole Swan needs no introduction. Maura Connolly from Mad River Distillers will bring delicious Vermont spirits, including the second edition of Hopscotch. Morgan Mason has some delicious bubbly AND the killer Goldschmidt Yoeman Cabernet. John Grange, the classiest guy in Champagne, will pour Laurent Perrier (swoon!). Patrick Flaherty has a lip-smackingly gorgeous Moss Roxx Zin. And it wouldn't be Bubbles & Bark without the antics of Kenny Mastrangelo, plus Baby Blue and his adorable pooch Mason. And there's still more...

Tunes from Kai Olsson. Tara Esposito's Touchstone Crystal. The lovely Lisa and Teresa and best hot dogs EVER of Snappy Dogs. Raffles (really, really great raffles!).

And dogs. There will be plenty of dogs. (Bring yours, if he or she is well-behaved, leash trained, and comfortable with crowds.) Dogs to pet, but also dogs that need your help. Forever Home Rescue has rescued and re-homed literally thousands of dogs. We throw this event every year to help them help dogs. Your $10 donation is a 100% pass-through to FHR. We will also donate a percentage of our sales.

So come on- help us go to the dogs!

Thank you for trusting us with your beverage business. Please share this email with friends who are interested in delicious wine, beer, and spirits. (Keeping all the good stuff for yourself is bad karma.) 

Cheers!
