Wine Tasting at BookStacks
|
Ignore the Weather; Drink Wine.
Saturday, April 28, 4 to 6 p.m.
It really will be Spring at some point. We know this. I don't want to talk about it any more.
I'm reading a cheerful book about wine, Wine. All the Time., by Marissa A. Ross. "The casual guide to confident drinking." It's definitely pinkies-down, for instance her "Ross Test" involves judging how well a wine swigs. Funny, but seriously informative; I like it a lot.
So next week our friend Jack Scully, of Easterly Wine, will return to BookStacks to present the flights and answer questions, talk about the wines and the places whence they came. It looks like a pretty good line-up.
And yes, our own Denise #1 will deliver some of her delicious munchies to pair with the wines as we make our way through.
AS ALWAYS, IT'S 10% OFF
THE TASTING PRICE
WHEN YOU BUY ANY 12 BOTTLES

Love, Simon
Sponsored by: Penobscot Film Society
April 27-29, 2018
comedy/drama/romance
110 minutes
PG-13
Based upon the novel, "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda" by Becky Albertalli
Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier it's a little more complicated: he's yet to tell his family or friends he's gay and he doesn't actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing. Directed by Greg Berlanti (Riverdale, The Flash, Supergirl), screenplay by Elizabeth Berger & Isaac Aptaker (This is Us), and based on Becky Albertalli's acclaimed novel, LOVE, SIMON is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story about the thrilling ride of finding yourself and falling in love.

Wednesday, May 16th. Please bring in donations at your convenience to the Bucksport YMCA office at least a week before the event.

Some examples of equipment that could be donated: Cleats, Catching mitts, Basketball sneakers, Batting gloves, Bike Helmets, Skates, Bikes, Shin guards, Wrestling gear, Bats, balls, etc.
