Exploring Villa Matilde Wines - Aug 22

Exploring Villa Matilde Wines
August 22 , 7 - 9 PM

Host: Ciro Pirone


A Franklin Wine Club sit down wine tasting event held in the Franklin Liquors Wine Room.

$5 per person RSVP required

The name itself Campania felix, coined by the Romans implied the importance that this fertile land has had throughout history. Since the times of Julius Caesar the highly esteemed wines of Campania were consumed and exported to faraway lands, the Romans had already created a mapping of the most important sites for wine production and above all was the Falernum. 

After centuries of fame and success, Falernum disappears from existence due to phylloxera and it isn't till the early 1960's and the incredible dedication of the Avallone family to recover such an important piece of history, and finally Falernum (aka Falerno del Massico) relieves.

Today the Villa Matilde properties extend beyond the area of Massico, also representing the territories of Benevento where Falanghina and Aglianico thrive as well as the major appellations of Irpinia, such as Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and Taurasi.

Come explore 7 wines with us!

Harvest Festival FUNdraiser - August 25

From Pour Richard's email newsletter:
"In the depths of winter, when I'm fantasizing about summer, those fantasies break down into 2 broad categories: the beach and late-summer vegetables. The beach because that's where I wish I was, the vegetables because I wish that's what I was eating. August is when gardens and farm stands explode with deliciousness faster than you can consume it.
If you've never had cause to appreciate your 5 senses, August at a farmer's market will change all that, with sights, sounds, and-especially-smells certain to have you drooling in anticipation. Zucchini, fresh herbs, garlic, eggplant. Beans. Radishes. And best of all: sweet corn and tomatoes.

Very little can compete with a freshly picked and cooked ear of corn on the cob. Or a tomato straight from the garden, still warm from the afternoon sun. But if you're getting bored with the minimalist vibe, grill your corn and top it with cotijo cheese and hot sauce for a take on Mexican street food.
Bake the tomatoes into a tart, or stir them into olive oil, garlic, and salt for a quick pasta sauce. Make a frittata. Bruschetta. Or toss the corn and tomatoes with olive oil, basil, and a touch of hot pepper for a salad that's basically August in a bowl.

Of course, we have some definite opinions on what you should drink with all that, starting with some ripe, rich Cali Chardonnays. The Neyers Carneros is a classic, but don't overlook Fulcrum's Durell Vineyard or Byron Kosuge's Sonoma Coast Chard. Seeing red instead?
Pick up the black cherry-laden Villain & Vixen Grenache or our new favorite Avalon Cabernet. Or split the difference and go pink: Bedrock's Ode to Lulu gives you the gutsy quality of a big red with the slithery coolness of a white, all in one bottle.

And if you really like your tomatoes and corn (and zucchini and herbs and local beer, cheese, meat, bourbon, etc), then mark your calendars for our Harvest Festival FUNdraiser for the Norfolk County Farm Bureau.
Your $10 ticket is a 100% donation to the Farm Bureau and includes samples of delicious farm to table food, farm to glass cocktails, organic wines, and local beers. Sunday, August 25 from 1-4 PM. Don't miss it!"

Please Join Us For Drink Pink! - June 1



Never Drink Ordinary!
Please Join Us For Drink Pink!
Drink Pink!
Saturday, June 1

2-5 PM
Drink Pink, our annual fundraiser for cancer care and research, is almost here! It's OUR favorite event of the year, but if you're wondering why it should be on YOUR calendar, here's why it definitely should:

#1 Drink Pink is FUN! We invite all our favorite people, and a store full of fabulous people, grooving to the music of Franklin's own Kai Olsson, is definitely a good time.


#2 Drink Pink is TASTY! Eleven of our amazing vendors, pouring samples of everything from rosé to red, white, and bubbly, plus signature cocktails, spirits and craft beer. AND food from Teddy Gallagher's.

#3 You REALLY need an adult sippy cup! This year's 'tickets' for Drink Pink are nifty little insulated cups that keep beverages cold or hot for 2 hours. (If you need more time than that, I don't think we can help you.)

#4 The raffle prizes are CRAZY good this year. Tickets to a show at The Black Box. An Archer Roose cooler complete with delicious cans of wine. A box of Everlasting Roses, real roses guaranteed to last at least one year. And more!

#5 THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE. The American Cancer Society is waging a many-sided war against cancer. Research. Patient Care. Palliative care. Lodging near treatment. Family assistance. Education. Testing. All of these are incredibly necessary. All of them cost money. We want to give them some. 100% of ticket sales will be donated to Relay for Life* of Western Norfolk County. 100% of raffle tickets, ditto. And both Pour Richard's and Teddy Gallagher's will also be donating a portion of our sales. 

This is a good time for a GREAT cause. Please join us and bring your friends.

Dog-friendly. 21+ * Relay for Life is the fundraising arm of ACS
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!
Ann Williams

Franklin Liquor: Exploring Tre Monti Wines - Oct 11

Exploring Tre Monti Wines - October 11 - 7 PM

Host: Natalie D'Alessandro Volpe

From Emilia-Romagna Italy Tre Monti traces its origins back to the early 1960s with the inspiration of Sergio Navacchia and of his wife Thea, who for years was the real driving force behind the winery until her death in 1989.

The heart of the winery lies in the center of the farm estate in Imola, where only estate-grown grapes are vinified. All of the vineyards are managed according to the principles of sustainable viticulture, which mandate inter-row cover-cropping and the lowest possible use of unnatural products.

All of this so that the final wine is the perfect expression of everything around its environment. Tre Monti became certified organic in 2014.

A not to miss Italian wine event!

About Natalie:


Natalie D'Alessandro Volpe is a Wine Broker of fine Italian wines for NDV Wine Agents, LLC.

Natalie currently represents a portfolio of exceptional wine varietals from regions throughout Italy, including Emilia Romagna, Piedmont, Tuscany, Lombardy, Veneto and Puglia. She works primarily with small family owned vineyards that practice sustainable and organic farming, and enjoys introducing her clients to grapes that are obscure and or indigenous to the region. In addition to her wine brokerage, Natalie is certified as an Italian Wine Specialist through the North American Sommelier Association, and conducts staff training, wine dinners and educational talks and seminars.
