Dan Greathouse, President of Heidelberg Importing, will lead us through four of his company’s wines on Saturday, August 22nd at 5:30. You may have seen Dan behind his Salmanazar-laden Decanting Cradle at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival. He has long-time personal and business relationships with the winemakers and/or owners of each of the wines we will be tasting and will spin stories to edify and entertain. This will also present a great opportunity to learn more about the wine business from the vineyard to the shelf.
You may call ahead for curbside pick up or come in to The Spicy Olive to get the wines prior to the event so you can taste along with Dan; we will be able to deliver the wines if you prefer. You can sign in to Zoom to join Dan, Chris, Melanie, and anyone else participating as we taste through the four wines on a live, interactive web conference. A link or Log In and Password for the Zoom Meeting will be sent to those who indicate their interest.

Spicy Olive Virtual Wine Tasting with Andrew Latta-Aug. 8, 2020 5:30pm

Fellow Oenophiles,
 
Andrew Latta, one of the great young talents in Washington wine, will lead us through four of his bottlings on Saturday, August 8th at 5:30. A native of Kentucky, this will be a Virtual Homecoming for Andrew; he first became interested in wine while working in restaurants to help pay for his education at Northern Kentucky University. He moved to Phuket, Thailand to guide the wine program at a five-star resort. Later, he moved to become part of the growing wine scene in Walla Walla, Washington. He was a “cellar rat” at Dunham until Charles Smith hired him in 2006; there he worked as Winemaker for K Vintners, Sixto, CasaSmith, and others. In 2011 he started Latta Wines as a side project and began giving it his full attention in 2014.
