Celebrations by Bistro 108

Celebrations by Bistro 108 banquet facility is up and running. Book your event by calling Susan at 979-966-9959. She will work out the particulars for you. Celebrations by Bistro 108 Wine Bar will officially open next Thursday, October 13 with our first "Thirsty Thursday". Stop by between 4 pm and 10 pm for a glass of wine and a quick bite of cheese and fruit. Relax, converse and celebrate what ever you want. I will be growing the wine selections gradually as I find out what wines you are looking for. You can purchase a glass, a bottle or a case of wine. If I don't have what you want I will try to get it for you. In the mean time, if you see me working there stop by and see what wine I have open. Hope to see you soon.

It is exciting and exhausting at the same time! Thanks to all of you brave souls who came to dine with us during the rush. For those of you who wanted to come in and couldn't because we were already overrun, remember to call ahead at least a week a head of time -- or at least the day before -- so I can get you on the "list".

Wednesday Only Happy Hour Special -- Half Priced Wine:

This Wednesday - February 23 -- our half priced wine will be a new wine just added to our list -- MonteVina Zinfandel 2005, Amador County, California. Our regular price is $7/glass or $28/Bottle. This Wednesday only, you can try this great new Zin for only 3.50/glass or $14/bottle. Wine maker notes: Montevina Sierra Foothills Zin is all about berry fruit and spice. Red currants and raspberries swirl with gentle hints of pepper and baking spices. Soft tannins fade away on a drizzle of raspberry sauce.

Next Wednesday -- March 2 -- our half priced wine will be another new wine just added to our list -- Llano Estacado's Viviana, Lubbock, Texas. Wine maker notes: Our 2009 Viviana is a non-traditional blend using aromatic white varieties. Grown in the hot climate of West Texas, these varieties exhibit the perfume of honey, orange blossoms and tropical fruit. Blending at the time of fermentation allows us to achieve an integration of these wonderful fruit flavors. With its fragrant nose, savory acidity and mouthwatering flavors, the Viviana will surely leave you wanting more. This wine will go well with a wide variety of chicken, fish or pasta dishes. Its aroma and bouquet will pair nicely with fresh fruits and vegetables.
