Sippin' Down the St. Croix

The Avalon
Last year we offered the first Falll wine cruise and it was a huge success. We have not yet established a menu. However, we will stick with the butler passed hors d'oeuvres and full buffet. We ask that couple dress up for this event as opposed to the casual summer cruise. Some spirits will be offered as well as the wine sampling. You may reserve for this event now by calling St. Croix Events, 651 430-2306. Tickets are $75 per person, which includes the cruise, dinner, wine, spirits, and beer sampling.

Register now for the following wine classes at Sutler's. When calling to reserve a spot, you will be asked for a credit card number to pay the $25 fee per person. Each seminar can seat up to 35 people. If you must cancel, do so at least 48 hours prior to the event to avoid the charge for the seminar. All people in attendance will receive a $25 Sutler's gift certificate good for any in-store purchase fduring the next 30 days.

Wines of Van Duzer
Tuesday, May 317:00 - 9:00 pm
Sutler's Tasting Room
The winemaker from the Van Duzer Vineyards, Jim Kakacek, will present a seminar and sampling of their award winning Oregon wines. Nestled in the foothills of the coast range, their vineyards benefit from the temperate ocean breezes. Many of you will remember that the 2002 Van Duzer Pinot Noir was a Wine Spectator magazine tchoice for the top 100 wines of last year. We think the 2003 vintage is even better. Taste the Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir Rose and some other treats.
