Sept 30th Wine Tasting Event Details

Where, oh where does the time go? Suddenly summer is over. The changing season is reason enough for another fine and mellow gathering of fellow wine appreciators.

We've chosen a luscious lineup of new bottles to ease the transition from summer to fall. Our favorite Wine Friend Theresa Moran will share intriguing reds and whites plus a gift-worthy sparkling wine, all from landscapes we love: Napa, Languedoc, Pfalz, Tuscany, and more. Our 2-stamp wines this month include a Sicilian Red with critical acclaim, and a Cabernet Franc from "one of the finest producers in all of the Loire." It is rumored we may even see the return of the "Mystery Wine."

You are welcome to purchase your wine tastes in advance by using our website, to bypass any line at the cash register. Try up to four wines (the maximum number of stamps per person is 6 stamps, if you're trying both double-stamp wines). If you are the decisive type, you may enjoy all your wine samples at one time, in our miniature tasting glasses. Stop by to see the lineup in the days before the tasting-we will display the featured bottles on the bar for a sneak preview.

We look forward to celebrating autumn with you on September 30, 5-6:30 pm!

A MESSAGE FROM CHRISTINE & BOB ABOUT THE BOTTLE SHOP

Welcome to our wine shop! These bottles are from winemakers who care as much about the environment as do the local farmers who grow our food-that's a good place to start.

When we drink wine, we want something unique: a landscape, a particular expression or history that the winemaker intends to come through in the glass. We mapped out the wine shop, from New Zealand to the Pacific Northwest, because climate and geography tell a story, in the hands of a good winemaker. What better way to learn about wine than by exploring winemaking regions of the world, all under one roof!

​Whether for refreshment, a perfect pairing for a special meal, or just to celebrate, the VB Bottle Shop invites you into a world of small-scale winemakers who are passionate about what they do.

Christine Hughes and Bob O’Neil are co-owners of Athens' Village Bakery & Café, home of the Bottle Shop. Need a wine suggestion or have a question? Send them an email!
