The Return of 2nd Tuesday Tastings!

With the warming weather and people itching to get together again, Heirloom is bringing 2nd Tuesday Tastings back just in time to celebrate Spring! Appropriately, Celebrate Spring is the theme of our March 9th tasting. We have partnered with Kate White from Winebow to bring you a stellar list of wines perfect for entertaining on a porch or drinking around those early spring bonfires. We have reformatted things a bit to take COVID-19 precautions, our needs as a restaurant, and your needs as a guest into consideration. These tastings will be closer to a light wine dinner than previous tastings. We will still offer 5 wines, but will be doing slightly larger pours, and our paired snacks will now be three paired courses to round out an entire meal. We won’t be offering our regular dinner service in addition to the tasting. Dietary restrictions will be accommodated, but please, please, please let us know about your needs when making your reservation. Speaking of reservations, they are required for these events, and you will only be seated with your own party. Unfortunately, we don’t view it as safe to do the communal seating we have all enjoyed in the past. These events will be held outdoors under our covered patios, and heaters will be available if the night becomes chilly. We do ask that you wear a face covering while interacting with our staff and if you need to enter our building for any reason. Since we aren’t offering dinner service on Tuesday evenings, we will be starting at 6:30, to give you a little more time to get home from work or finish up your zoom meetings before heading our way for wine time. This first event will be $40, and you will have the chance to order any of the wines to take home with you at special retail pricing. We will be posting the entire menu here soon, but Jess is dreaming up some lovely spring dishes to pair with several French, Italian, and Spanish wines that we know will soon be your favorites. Call us at 7063547901 to reserve or with any questions. We can’t wait to see you!
