FEB 27 - Sat	Nouveau Tempranillo Festival (Jazz & Wine) and Release Day for Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 06 and Syrah Reserve 07. Reservations are Required. Limited capacity event. The French have their Beaujolais festival which marks the release of young wine and we will do it Texas style with Tempranillo from our vineyards. Using Bordelaise methods we made a wine that is young, fruity and refreshing that is ready to be enjoyed now. Un-oaked, fermented using Carbonic maceration and from the 2009 harvest, this is a wine to be enjoyed while very young and in a glass tumbler like they do in the old country. So we will celebrate like the winemaker did while growing up in the village of San Martino. That is... drinking young wine from glass tumblers, good friends surrounding you and outstanding music. Bring a picnic and you get to keep the tumbler! PRICE: $15/person (no discounts). Includes a glass of wine and tumbler per person. LOCATION: Event Center. Dress Code: Casual TIME: 6:30 pm
MAR 6 - Sat	Wine 102 - Professional Wine Tasting and Scoring. Have you ever wondered how wines are reviewed and/or scored? San Martino Winery and Vineyards will be hosting, in conjunction with Texas Wine Review, a wine tasting seminar that will delve into the nuances of how a wine is professionally reviewed by the likes of Robert Parker and Wine Spectator and the basis of their 100 point scoring systems. The seminar will include discussions of how best to describe various wine aromas and flavors that are present in the wine, as well as the typical characteristics associated with the most common grape varietals used in the Texas Wine industry. Each participant will ‘review’ 4 of San Martino’s great wines and have their score input into the San Martino wine scoring index and have the opportunity to join San Martino’s wine scoring panel. The tasting will be presented by Jeffrey A. Andrus, Certified Sommelier and Certified Wine Specialist. Mr. Andrus is currently a sommelier with Charlie Palmer at the Joule, in downtown Dallas and founder of TexasWineReview.com. The goal of TexasWineReview.com is to provide a ratings repository of all wines produced in Texas, made with Texas fruit. To accomplish this, it will be using a structured tasting protocol, including but not limited to, commonly accepted blind tasting methodologies and detailed rating worksheets -- which include aroma identification and general quality evaluations. Reservations are Required PRICE: $20/person. Club Members: $16/person TIME: 6:30 pm LOCATION: Event Center
