Hi everyone,
This is Ton. I wanted to let you know that we are hosting a 'Dry January' wine dinner at the tasting room on Saturday, January 18th. You can find the details on the website, under See the Wines link (i know....not intuitive). You will then see another tab for EVENTS....
The Wine Dinners at Locus are always special events!
Of course, I'd say that because I make the food but marketing folks told me to say that anyway) It is true though: I carefully prepare a six course menu to perfectly compliment the winemaker-selected Locus Wines. Future release and library wines have been known to make appearances in the lineup. It's a great evening of fun, friends, food, and wine.
Our January dinner's theme is "Dry January". How do you have a dry wine dinner, you ask? Well, you don't. That's just ridiculous. Instead, we thought we'd put together a dining experience to show off how delicious healthy eating can be. Yes, you'll break your promise of a dry January with the wine pairings, but if you're going to cheat, this will assuage the guilt a little bit.
For this dinner, we can host up to 24 guests. No refunds after 1/14/20. Socius members will receive their wine club discount upon adding the event to the cart. Sociuspaths get 50% off, Stalkers get 30% off, and Fanatics get 20% off. Details on the See the Wines page... I know, I know ( https://locuswines.orderport.net/wines/Events).
