Look Who's Turning 2!
Happy Birthday Tastings!

Wow, it has been an incredible two years! Tastings Wine Bar & Bistro is celebrating our two year anniversary on Friday, September 10th. We have all grown so much over the course of time. Our 'little restaurant that could' has gone from all small plates with a touch of Spanish influence into a bistro serving locally sourced, organic sustainable "American Haute Farm Cuisine." We pride ourselves on being the area's leader in this category, and since most of you that receive this note have dined with us before, we hope you agree.

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank all that have helped make Tastings a success. Thank you to our loyal guests. Thank you to those who have popped in for a small plate and a glass of wine. And thank you most of all to our staff. Without all of you, Tastings would just be another place to "eat."

As a special thank you, Tastings will be celebrating our two year anniversary all week long. Join us starting Tuesday, September 7th, through Saturday, September 11th for some serious Champagne deals. Tastings will be offering bottles of Veuve Clicquot for $50 all week long! We will also be offering the 'King' of Champagnes, Dom Perignon poured by the glass! The celebration culminates Friday night with complimentary cupcakes for anyone who joins us for dinner that night. So make sure to come by Tastings this week and wish us a Happy Birthday.

Cheers and best wishes for another great year together!
