Weekly Wine Down featuring Silver Oak Cellars July 23, 2010

On Friday, July 23rd, the Weekly Wine Down will bring in the acclaimed flagship wine of Silver Oak Cellars, cabernet sauvignon, and the varietals of its sister winery, Twomey Cellars. Twomey concentrates its efforts on making sauvignon blanc, pinot noir and merlot. To make reservations for the “Weekly Wine Down,” call (760) 238-5646 or log onto www.FantasySpringsResort.com for more information.

The two-hour Weekly Wine Down begins at 7:00p.m. inside the picturesque 12th Floor Wine Bar & Cocktail Lounge. The event takes the guesswork out of ordering and buying wine and helps guests get a feel for the kinds of wine they really like, without making a big investment in a bottle whose contents you might not like anyway. For $30, guests will receive a flight of the night’s featured wines, plus learn about the nuances and finer points of each from the wine maker or from a winery representative. During each “Weekly Wine Down,” guests will also learn how to make creative and innovative cocktails from Fantasy Springs’ own Dan, Dan the Beverage Man. Guests also receive samples of all the cocktails Dan makes, as well as a gourmet cheese plate with the admission price. The Weekly Wine Down wraps at 9:00p.m. and is followed by live jazz music at the 12th Floor Wine Bar & Cocktail Lounge. Patrons are invited to stay and enjoy the music and the sweeping views of the valley and surrounding mountains from the 12th Floor Wine Bar. There is no cover charge at the 12th Floor Wine Bar & Cocktail

Lounge. Guests must be 21 or older to attend the Weekly Wine Down. Events will return to a once a week schedule during the Coachella Valley’s “high season.”
