Live Music at Bistro Saturday

Amanda Tipps & Ed Collins Performing Saturday
Amanda Tipps & Ed Collins will be performing live music at the Bistro on Saturday July 18, 7pm to 8pm. Make your reservations early and enjoy a great dinner and wine along with the live music. Amanda sings and Ed accompanies her on his guitar. Hope to see you there.

This Week's Featured Wine
Matanzas Creek 2006 Pinot Noir, Bennett Valley, Sonoma County
"Our cool climate home in Bennett Valley provides ideal growing conditions for this fickle grape. This wine proves vibrant on the palate, with flavors of cranberry, pomegranate and hint of smoke, which we believe emanates from the Bennett valley subsoil. The wine's structure will allow for it to be reserved for the next three to five years. With time, this Pinot Noir will become more velvety and sophisticated and the minerality will become more pronounced." -Winery

Bistro Price $36/bottle or $9/glass

Pray for cooler weather and RAIN!

Bistro 108 Update

Bistro 108 Closed for Special Events

May is shaping up to be a very busy month for us here at Bistro 108. We will be closed all day Saturday, May 16 for a special event catering. We will be open our regular hours before and after May 16. We will also be closed on Friday May 29 and 30 for our daughter Lorelei's wedding.
She is marrying Ascencion Carrillo. Congratulations to the happy couple. We will be open for Sunday Brunch on May 31.


Wine Club Enthusiasts Announcement:


My distributor is scheduled to get their allotment of the 2006 Peter Michael La Pavots red Bordeaux blend in around May 19. This is a fabulous wine and one that you would want in your cellar for those very special events. I do not have an exact price per bottle yet, but anticipate that the price will be around $180 per bottle for those purchasing a bottle to take home. My wine list price at the restaurant will run about $225 per bottle. Robert Parker of the Wine Enthusiast has already scored this wine a 96. For additional information go to the
Peter Michael page. If you are interested in purchasing a bottle or case of this great wine please email me as soon as possible so I can order it now. I was only able to obtain 1 bottle of the 2005 La Pavots which the Wine Spectator rated a 97 and it is already gone.

We have been very happy with the wine club sales. We are starting slowly, but those of you who have taken advantage of the great deals on our wines and ones you have requested I special order for you have said you are very happy. We appreciate your business.


Remember, if you have a favorite wine or wines you like keeping at home just drop us an email list and I will find out what I can sell them to you for. No obligation. I will not order them until you give me the go ahead. Life is too short to drink bad wine.

Bistro Announcements

Announcements:

Antique Week has come and gone and the everyone at Bistro want to thank our once, twice and weekly regular customers for their support during Antique Week. We really appreciate your support at all times and look forward to seeing each and every one of you. Thanks Mike & Susan


Our Dedicated Customers of the Week goes to the Dianna and Earl Potter. They eat at the Bistro 8 nights in a row during Antique Week. I am sure that we have never had anyone as loyal as the Potters. They had a great time watching all the controlled chaos of the Bistro during our busiest week of the year. Thanks for your support. It was great.


Bistro 108 will be CLOSED all day Saturday, April 11 for a large private event. We will be open Easter Sunday for our regular Sunday Brunch.


I am very pleased to announce that we have added another of the great wines to our list:

I have one bottle of Peter Michael Winery's Les Pavot, their Single Vineyard Estate Red Bordeaux and two bottles of Ma Belle-Fille Estate Chardonnay. They are some really fabulous wines that will be great for that very special occasion.

Hope to see everyone soon.

Bistro 108 Wine Lovers Club
Once you have tried any of our fine wines at Bistro 108 and you find one or two (or more) you really like and would like to take a bottle (or case) home for sipping on the porch, watching the sun go down or for that very special occasion, we are proud to announce the Bistro 108 Wine Lovers Club. No membership, no dues, just good wine. I will be offering our wines at a very special price. You can order and pick up the wines at the Bistro for home consumption. Just as an example I have discovered another little wine that will soon show up on our regular wine list. We introduced it on our customers at our recent cooking class. It goes very well with the Roasted Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Chipotle Sauce. . . And the wine is Folie A Deux's 2005 Amador County Zinfandel. The price on the Bistro Wine list will be 28/bottle and if you want to order it to take home the price will be 15/bottle. Please Email me at info@bistro 108.com with how you want to pay for the wine, your phone number, what wine you would like to purchase and how many bottles you want to purchase. All orders will need to be prepaid. Please give me a week or two to get the wines for you.
