The Wine Mule
Dave Erickson
All right, I'm willing to stipulate that this is ridiculous.
Nonetheless:
Every Monday evening, starting around 7:30 pm until around 10 pm, at The Usual Suspects, 791 Merrimon Avenue, Asheville, NC. I know all you Major Metro Area types will be unimpressed, but us rubes got to make do. Some recent tastings:
Occipinti SP68
Touraine Le Tesnire Pineau d'Aunis 2007
Nikolaihof Hefeabzug Gruner Veltliner 2006
Domaine du Clos du Fief 2007
Luneau-Papin "L'el D'or" Cuve Medaille Muscadet Svre et Maine 2004
Niedermayr Lagrein Aus Greis "Blacedelle" Alto Adige 2006
Jacques Puffeney Poulsard Arbois DOC 2006
Grosjean "Torrette" Valle D'Aosta 2007
For the fastidious, you may want to wait until January, when the no-smoking rule goes into effect. Me, I just strip off my tobacco-stinky clothes when I get home and put on my jammies. Yes, this is what I'll put up with to drink interesting stuff.
For the unaware: "Jebus Land" is no joke. Asheville may be a hip little town, but we do have the Billy Graham Freeway here, too.
